Noticing it today :0)

I was so happy this morning because I put on a top I've not been able to wear for so long and it wasn't too tight! It was the first day I actually felt smaller round my tummy & thighs.

I also can see a little bit of collar bone. Now this may not seem like a great thing to notice, but if you've ever been very overweight you don't tend to have a visible collar bone.

I've just done 20 mins on my wii fit including super hula for 10 mins. Part way through doing this I realised that my hips are going to hurt tonight. For those that don't know, I suffer with hip & lower back ache at night ever since I had my son. Some nights are horrific. So I may have a painkiller before bed to make sure I get some sleep. I'm hoping that once I lose more weight my hips will be better. I would have done some more exercise but my son woke up from his lunchtime sleep. I'll aim to do a bit more tonight (hubby's on lates again).

Spoke to my parents today and we're going for dinner a few times next week whilst my sister is down. My dad told me one night is going to be Chinese takeaway. Now I want to see how I cope with having a much smaller portion. I love Chinese food and don't want to deny myself any. So have you got any suggestions about lower calorie options I could have?

Haven't actually planned what to eat tonight coz forgot to get the beef out of the freezer. So beef & root veg hotpot is tomorrow night. I'm only cooking for me tonight so I may just have a root around in the freezer to see what's lurking in there.

I hope that all those reading this who are also on their own weight loss journey, are doing well.
