It has been a good solid week of sticking to plan, good exercise and focusing on getting on with the job. It honestly felt fairly effortless and I felt positive the whole week. Little oppertunities to "cheat" / over Syn came along and I found it fairly easy, but very satisfying to SAY NO! There is no doubt that Slimming World works, and works well as long as you stick to the plan, make good choices and avoid the horrible pitfalls that got you into this situation in the first place. People often say to me, "but you have to at least enjoy your life?" I always nod and say "yeah.." and I know for a fact it was "enjoying life" that led to bad habits that led to an unhappy life! I am honestly enjoying life here and now by saying no, and intend to enjoy it even more once all my weight is off thank you very much! Besides, Karen made some Syn free Devilish Eggs tonight that were enjoying life and free to eat!

- I know its greedy to say, but I really wanted 6 lbs (2.72 kg) off to get my 10.5 lbs (147 lbs / 66.67 kg) Award! :(
+ Happy to have had such a good loss this week.
+ Had 2 good runs this week! :)

Goals for this week:
1) 100% Food Optimising
2) Make a sensible choice for supper out with friends on Saturday night.

I have targeted another 3 lbs (1.36 kg) off for next week. but would be happier for 3.5 (1.59 kg) leaving me only another 3.5 (1.59 kg) to lose to hit 18 stone (252 lbs / 114.31 kg) by 01/12/2011....Running weight! :D I know I'm running now, and the 0.5 stone (7 lbs / 3.18 kg) difference is not much, but its the target of hitting running weight by 01/12/2011 that means so much to me! :)
