Jolly Junctions

I will often count down the junctions along the motorway as I journey up or down country. Sometimes I play games to amuse myself between junctions such as only being aloud to spot 5 Volvos before the next junction otherwise, I'm out! It's surprising how long it takes to get to a junction when you're desperate.  My second stone felt very much like this game. I was desperate to get there but it felt just out of my reach for so long, I was soooo delighted to see the numbers 23:00 static on the scales display....yahoo...I got the second charm for my bracelet, a cup cake! However, no sooner have I arrived at "J23", my sights shift to J22 and so the game continues. There's no time to stop and enjoy the achievement, I have to keep my eyes set ahead. Sounds easy enough hey. If only...

My weight loss is going rather slowly at the minute, and although I know slowly is the best way to lose weight and keep it off, it also means that my destination will take longer to reach. I am an impulsive kinda girl at heart and I like to see results NOW. Note to self, must work on patience.

I've been talking through my frustration with a couple of people and we are wondering whether my PCOS if having an effect on my slow progress? With this in mind I am looking into the possibility of avoiding foods with a high GI as they are notoriously bad for PCOS sufferers wanting to lose weight. Juggling Pro Points and GIs is going to be fun, hopefully focusing on this will mean I arrive at J22 before I know it. We can but hope. And hope I shall. I would love to lose another stone before Christmas, realistically I should go for seven pounds but hey, in for a penny......

So, work Christmas meal coming up this week, Rachel's birthday next week, then my birthday and Christmas the following week.....wish me luck...or send me a roll of gaffa tape.

Total loss 21 lbs
