OK, so it has been a very slack week on my behalf as far as updating the journal goes, but I know what you're all checking in to find out. Well, the title gives it away yeah? For those of you who still haven't worked it out, go check out myprogress which will tell you that with a loss of 0.9 tonight, I have scraped in by the skin of my teeth and made ***GOAL***. Whoda thunk it, eh?
Now, I know I've done it pretty darned quick, but still I can't believe it has gone as fast as it has - it seems like just a couple of weeks ago that I was getting into the seventies even. Actually, I wasn't sure whether I'd make it, but I knew it would be close. I went to a wedding on the weekend, managed to make good food choices and decided not to drink at all, as they didn't have any alcohol that particularly appealed to me.

I wanted to say once again, thanks for everyone who has been supporting me while I've been on this journey - I really don't think I could overestimate the importance of the support that my online support network has provided me.
Ahh, but I get ahead of myself. There is still maintenance, I know. So no, I didn't go out and celebrate at Wendy's, I realise there is still a lifetime of thoughtful choices ahead of me. But hey, I'm thoughtful about my work, my relationship, my money .... so why the hell not be thoughtful about my health. When I think of it that way, it doesn't seem so unreasonable that I should continue to put time, effort, thought and planning into my eating and exercising throughout my life.
As usual, I'm pretty tired and keen to get to bed. I know I promised a photo but I'm keen to take it in daylight for continuity with the other photos, so you might all just have to wait a few days longer...
Ciao for now.
