Three days in...

Today starts Day 3 of the Dukan diet, and so far so good.

I'd weighed myself two weeks before Christmas at the Drs surgery, so I had a rough idea of what my weight was.

There are no scales in our house - so when visiting Mum with Mousey I usually jump on hers.

However, this usually finds me dragging the scales around the house to find an average - much to the amusement of my Dad & Mousey as the floors are uneven!

The conclusion from yesterday's mission - 3 days in & I am 3lb lighter than my weight a fortnight ago!!!

So onwards I go... When I lose a stone I may even be tempted to admit my weight... Maybe...

A stone lighter... Onwards and downwards!

I finally shifted the pesky pound which has thwarted me all week. So it is onto the next stone, this time I am allowing myself 50 days to lose it in, which equates to 2lb a week. According to Dr Dukan, this is a reasonable target given the amount of weight I have left to lose. (I promise after the next stone is gone I will reveal all - that's if you want to know?) As I get closer I will lower my weekly target to 1lb, as I full expect it to take longer to shift the lighter I get and I am ok with this. As I hope it will give me chance to firm up, something which is much needed! Especially my tummy. Sorry to keep it short and sweet but I must now go get little man's breakfast ready, but had to share my joy whilst he was occupied with Daddy.

Fashion Friday Plus Size - My first link up - Week 3...

 I’ve been following  Innocent Charm Chats  blog for over a year now and LOVE her fashion posts and style, which is all about embracing your figure and loving/celebrating the fact your curvy rather than hiding away.  If you've read my previous post you will realise that I am struggling with my weight and not loving my size right now.  So when I saw a tweet about starting a #FashionFridayPlusSize  I decide as part if my 30th birthday overhaul, I wanted on board. I want love what I am wearing, feel comfortable and embrace fashion in a way that suits my shape... I seemed to lose my style when I left fashion retail and gained a few sizes and now I want it back!   I didn't get around to sharing an outfit in the first two weeks -  so starting week 3 of #FashionFridayPlusSize here is my chosen outfit:  Sleeveless Leopard Print Skater Dress - New Look Inspire (Last Year)  Pendulum Cut Jacket - New Look Inspire Blac...

I won't let M.E. stop ME! But what is it? you ask.

For those who don't know, I was diagnosed with ME/CFS eight years ago.  I would describe my level of ME as low to medium, I keep it at bay by pushing myself and trying take things slowly but not stopping completely and taking pain relief when needed (it use to be everyday but I can't deal with the additional irritability and grogginess!) The job I do is definitely not ideal, it involves long shifts/night shifts, but it is a field which I am passionate about and which gives me the drive to move on and make the most of my own life, as I witness overcoming their fears and ailments.  Granted, there are tough times like this week where because of work stresses and financial worries, on top of the physical side of work/life, I can feel a crash coming on but after living with this for so long I am able to recognise my own triggers and put into place contingency plans to hopefully put on the breaks - usually by booking a week off every couple of months to give me a ch...
