Hi - time flies and that is week 7 of my Shapeup Transformation over already.

Well it is fair to say that I am still not a size 14 and also that I think it could take another month to get there.  Now that is a shame because some people lose weight really fast BUT  remember that I am looking for a life change that is maintained and improved on and so I have to be patient.

My stepping is certainly making a big difference to me......I have overdone it a bit this week at work by staying late each day and so I am in need of a good rest but normally I feel wide awake and very well.  I am sleeping soundly; enjoying a lighter tummy and hips and my size 16s are slipping to my hips and skirts are sliding round my waist as I walk......this is good but I can't wait until I feel them falling off me.

I keep trying my smaller clothes on and it is good to see that another couple of inches and they will fasten!

I feel better about myself - feel balanced in mood most of the time and feel really positive.

I have things to look forward to and visualisation helps.  When Robert and I go together to Eastbourne this year (I will miss Alex who is staying at home) I will be slimmer and will be into my smaller clothes - that is a certainty because I still have a few weeks to work on myself until mid October.

Then I am having a couple of days off in half term and then for Christmas I can look forward to a visit from Hazel and Dean - and the 5 of us will be active and really enjoy some quality time together.  Dean loves walking and so we can all walk.......so here's to a bright future.
