Well, the '2 stones by Christmas' isn't going to happen unless I lose a leg in the next 2 weeks.... but I have lost almost 1 stone.. and hopefully that last reluctant pound or two will have gone by next Wednesday...

Still.. half a target reached is better than nothing, and I have noticed the difference!

So I'm going to concentrate on eating well and sensibly for 10 days and then not beat myself up about the amount of chocolate I'm going to ingest over the festive period.

It's our Christmas meal at work next Friday and I said I'd take fruit and veggies, so that should encourage me to eat them and not the biscuits and pastries I know everyone else will bring! Trouble is, there is always a fair bit left over which then goes to feed us diligent workers through the following week (it was such a shock when I left school and found that people actually have to work during Christmas week!) and it's always the fat-riddled stuff that is left.. the biscuits, the crisps, the chocolates...... ho hum! I feel more walking coming on!
