My Life on a Plate

Good News, Bad News

YES YES YES YES YES

Lose a stone in six weeks has worked out to be perfectly accurate. People are starting to notice and comment and that's yet more encouragement to keep plugging. I intend to start the whole cycle again and although I realise it will probably get harder from this point, I'm hoping the extra activity at the gym will help get rid of another stone in or around six weeks. And that will take me to a weight I'll be happy with. Woopdedoo - does this mean I can take extra luggage on the plane to Sardinia in June as there'll be a lot less of me on board?

The bad news however is that during my sister's stay the cold I'd been bragging about not materialising, did. I've now got the stuffy nose, the aching joints, lethargy, earache and feeling ready to find my beddy. I also think some of that lost weight may have returned due to a couple of days of over indulgence.

But sis has gone now so it's back to the drawing board. The problem is the old saying 'Starve a fever, feed a cold,' is kicking in. Feeling hungry and in need of comfort food but must not give in. The clocks go forward tonight; I just hope warmer weather comes with the lighter nights so salads and light meals will seem appropriate.

So, goodnight my friends. Cocoa and a hot water bottle for me. One thing I won't die of is excitement.
