giving it a little bit of

So I’m still rolling on, though not as rotundly as before. I’m right down to 182, which is 32 lost so far! Unbelieveable. Nothing I have ever done before has been this successful, or seemed to be so easy! And finally, FINALLY, I am starting to see some difference in myself - my face is thinner (I can see the beginning of those blade-like cheekebones I know are under there somewhere hahaha). AND last night I went out with some girls from work (yay! a social life!), wore a little black dress and I swear my legs are thinner. I wish I had kept a photographic record from the beginning dangit.

I’ve accepted the offer of a full time job at my work, but still hate it oh dear. Unfortunately I need the money. Oh well, it’s my own fault, really. As my mother said - you don’t need to finish university if you plan on working for minimum wage all your life, unless you are a lucky person, and we’re not lucky people. Or words to that effect. Thanks mum.

My bike is serviced and ready to go - I think I’ll ride to wimbledon park and take the train to work from there today. Yesterday was supposed to be its maiden voyage, but MONSOON season london-styles hit all of a sudden.

I’ve set myself a few goals for the month of August. They are -

1. ride bike at least twice a week.

2. walk home from tooting bec, rather than taking the bus from tooting broadway.

3. lose 8lbs to 174 - or 78.9kg, lowest weight since about july 2005! WOOT that’s flippin’ FOUR YEARS.

Feeling good, feeling positive, loving strong-girl rock/pop at the moment to keep me motivated. Florence + The Machine, Magic Dirt, Sia, Bat for Lashes, Yeah Yeah Yeahs - and as always (and no girls in this band) The Presets.

WOOOOOOOT
