Good morning All! Just been for a swim so am all perky and chirpy! Also lost another 2lbs this week. It could be 4 lbs but my scales were doing their possessed thing which is a pain. At one point i lost 4lbs in about 3 seconds. brilliant! I only really want to lose 2lbs a week so quite happy with that.
So - had a cracking night out on saturday, went swimming on sunday morning as Alister was staying with my cousin Nicola in Dundee. Swimming is also a top hangover cure it would seem. Then toddled off to Abbot House in torrential rain to have a sunday school meeting. i am now the proud owner of Class 2, theres only 4 kids but it will ease me in gently.
Then drove up to Dundee to get the boy wonder and got the bus home. Didnt do much yesterday at all. Took Alister to nursery this morning, went swimming and got a 30 day pass for £10.30, bargain! i reckon i only have to go swimming 7 times before I'm getting it for free and i've been going a few times a week. Oh I just remembered I also took some measurements when i started changing my diet and excercise regime 2 weeks ago. In only a fortnight I have lost 2.5 cms from my waist and 1 cm from my thighs. not bad in 2 weeks!
Now, about this 'see you in france' thing. I'm not actually going to France, more's the pity. I am, however, swimming the Channel. Virtually! The English Channel is a 34km swim and so far this month I have swum 1.25 km. There is a Swimmers forum on the WLR members area (http://www.weightlossresources.co.uk) and they have 3 swims that I will try and do by about the time i'm 60 i reckon! There's the Dover-Calais chanel swim, also round Manhattan Island which is 46km and the length of Loch Ness which is 36km. Will take a while but I'm really enjoying swimming. Got a good pair of goggles and a nose clip and my stroke is much better. Just need to start working on building up my muscles so i can swim faster now.
Still on the topic of the WLR site, there was a small problem just now with what they call trolls. basically some daft kids with nothing better to do but sign up for the 3 day free trial and post abusive messages on the forums. The help team had them all cleared out and booted off in a matter of about 15 minutes, absolutely brilliant. People on that site need the help and encouragement and support of everyone else there, not to have some snotty nosed kids posting about them being sad fat losers etc etc. I can only hope Alister never thinks doing that would be funny. Right that's todays sermon over with! Getting into practice for Sunday School already!
Big love
Jill
