Wehey! Official weigh-in day, today and I'm still back down to my pre-xmas weight of 165lb so last Thursday's reading wasn't freakish! So it seems that although I gained 3lb on xmas day/the day after, I'd lost it all again two days later - must have been water retention! The measurements seem to be heading downwards again, as my bust is now 34" some days, 35" others and a month ago, it was 36" some days, 35" others - so I'm content with that.
I'm glad I got straight back on track Boxing Day, running and weighed myself daily most of last week - as it got me back to being *good* faster than if I'd kept my head in the sand (which I was really tempted to do!)
I'm giving myself a rough deadline of by the end of March(ish) to lose this last 10lbs. I'm glad the xmas 3lbs came straight off, because psychologically that was more damaging thinking of it as a *stone* left to go. Somehow *10lbs* seems do-able; a stone seems daunting!
Looking back over last year, though, I'm glad I've come this far and think we should all pat ourselves on the back - however much we've got left to lose, and however much we regained temporarily at xmas - as all of us here are probably better off than, say, this time last year - and that's good!
