Happy happy, Joy joy!

Can you tell I'm rather happy today :oD well I am, not only is it Friday but it was one week since I started my new healthier life and WOW do I feel great, I've made sure that everyday i walked the dog for at least 15 mins (even if that meant waiting til just before bed when the rain stopped) and yesterday we took the dog and walked all the way to Morrison's an hour walk in all and its up hill coming home, yeah it was tiring but I done it and didn't complain once. While in Morrison's I topped up on weightwatchers meals as there only 67p each, also bought all the ingredients i needed to make roasted tomato soup (recipe which is on Rachael's other blog) which I made yesterday and it is soooo yummy. Well a few people have asked how Ive got on and to be honest I thought I would struggle, but I haven't, Ive been eating regularly and keeping a journal of what I'm eating each day which has also helped, as have lots of people sending me positive vibes, and encouraging comments.... my sister also said something to me last night which bought tears to my eyes, she was asking me how I was getting on while chatting to me in MSN messenger and I was telling her I was looking forward to weighing myself tomorrow to see what I had lost, (now remembering she is only 15) she said to me :


"I really hope you can do it, because no one deserves to be a mummy more than you! and I should know, you looked after me half of my life"


Bless her she really is a sweetheart, I'm also very proud of her as we just found out she got a B in her science GCSE.

Anyway on to HS:MS and the word today is Three (the magic number)
One, two...three. Somewhere there is 'three' in your space today!

I was hoping I had lost 3lbs then I could of showed you that, but i didn't ........................... ................... .................. I LOST 7lbs ................ that is half a stone, OK I know its normal to loose a lot in your first week due to water etc etc...... but still wow I can't stop smiling.

So here is my three, there was four but I ate one.
