... I feel good ... da da da da da da da - da! Well, despite it being anti-fat talk week, I can admit to being happy to shedding another 2lbs this week, to officially the lowest weight I've been so far and a total weight loss of 2 stone 10 1/2 lbs, which Google says is 17.4kgs. My BMI has dropped about 7 points, which is amazing. I know I'm still a long way off target (nearly wrote "weigh off" LOL) but I'm happy with progress so far. There's no need to go comparing myself to our group's Slimmer of the Year who started a week before me and is now 3 and 1/2 stone down, is there? I'm taking the scenic route and not stressing if there's a party and I eat a bit of cake. As long as I keep eating healthily for most of the time then it's all good.
In other news, my cousin Michael came to stay with his wife Karen. They have been in the UK and Ireland for a few weeks, and popped in to stay with us before going over to France to stay with my youngest sister today. Unfortunately, they picked the worst day EVER to go on an open-topped double-decker bus tour of London yesterday (dreary, grey, cold, wet and windy), but I think they've enjoyed themselves regardless. I last saw Michael back in the 70s when he came over with his parents (my godparents) for a holiday. I'd have recognised him anywhere, though, which was rather surreal as he's now 42, ha ha! They told us all about where they live, north of Cairns, Queensland. I googled it and this is what I found:
Hmm... I can just see why they would want to come to dreary old London! Their apartment is right on the beach, with just a road between them and the sand, and lots of gum trees dotted along in front of their building. Oh well, it's just as well I enjoy living in England. If I could just enjoy a holiday in a place like this from time to time, I'd be sorted. It was lovely to see them, and we have an open invitation to go visit. It's only 20 hours on a plane, or something. Maybe one day?
Off to bed now. Sweet dreams, everyone!
