Week 6

Another 2 lbs off so that is 1 stone 8 lbs. Not bad in  6 weeks!

I do find my Monday night weign in quite depressing though. One woman cam in after her weigh in , sighing and moaning. "I only lost 3 1/2 lbs" she complained. "I've got used to losing 5 - 6lbs a week."!!!! Then she went on to say that she had lost 2 stone 4 1/2 lbs altogether. But the worst bit was that she then turned to me and asked what I'd lost and when I said 2lbs this week and 1 1/2 stone altogether she was like..."Oh wow, thats brilliant" That is just so fake - I can't stand fake compliments - she is not happy with 3 1/2 lbs but my 2 lbs is "brilliant" I think not - and no if you are thinking she might be bigger than me, she is not - I probably have more to lose than her.

But gripe over - when I am away from the class I'm delighted with my weight loss - I've never lost so much so quickly - and I don't care that others can lose it quicker it just proves me right - I've always said that I can't lose weight the way other people seem to - and the doctors and dieticiains never believed me - now I have proof!

So weight loss is going fine. My assignment for my MBA is not. I've written 1 paragraph so far and it has to be in in 3 weeks time. I should be feeling really panicked by now but oddly I'm not. Maybe I've got too much else on my mind. The reorganistaion at work is not progressing very fast, We have another away day organised for March 20th to try and reach an agreement - but we keep going round in circles. It's like no-one is prepared to just agree they all have to have their say (and that goes for me too) although we always end up back in the place we started. You'd think we were school kids not the Senior Management team!!!

To end on a postive - I've booked my next holiday to Australia. We are going in December for just under 4 weeks. We are going to Western Australia - a short stop in Perth and than a 4WD safari up to the Ningaloo Reef for a few days snorkelling. Then back down to Perth and picking up a car and driving around the South west. We go to Albany and Pemberton before finishing in Margaret River for Christmas. We then fly home with a 3 day stopover in Dubai over New years eve. Its all planned and booked and I got a really good deal booking most of it direct. The really exciting thing is that I'll be half the size I am now and I might even be in a bikini by then!!!!!!!
