Zipadee-doo-dah

My oh my what a wonderful day!!

I lost 1whole lb today and am very pleased with that. It's been ages (or so it seems) since I've had a whole number to report. Don't get me wrong, 1/2 lbs are okay, but I'd prefer not to make them a habit especially when I am trying so hard.

The weather has taken a turn for the freakish up here in Rainy Town. We are basking in the sun and to celebrate, the hubby and I went for a bike ride. We had to cut it a bit short though, as both of us had very soft tyres, so the going was quite tough. Schoolboy error - we should've checked the tyres before we set off but we are still relatively new to our bikes. Should make for an extra wee bonus point though - we still managed 6k though. It's funny though - I have no recollection of ever pumping my tyres up in my youth. Either tyres back then were more hard wearing, or more likely, my Dad would've done it without me realising.

Got stuck in traffic on the way to WW class today, meaning that I didn't get a chance to have the chat about my ultimate goal weight with my leader that I had intended on initiating.

I have decided that for now, my main goal is to get to 50lbs off before I go on holiday on 30th October. Thailand here we come and I cannot wait. I've had so much enjoyment this year in purchasing the new holiday wardrobe that I may, for once, struggle with my baggage allowance.
I have so many nice things now and its been a long long time since I had to worry about having too many outfits. Normally I would have to get items laundered on holiday to see me through.

Anyhow, in deference to the good weather, a relatively good result at WI today and my bike ride, I am off to treat myself to a very summery drink - 1 Gin and (diet) bitter lemon is being poured out as I type.

Chin chin everyone.
