It's been awhile since I have blogged....
Lot's of starts and stops on the diet, with little bits of success. The best success for me is that I have kept all the weight off!
I have begun the drops again and it seems to be working well. I will say with my career and the lovely evenings out with great food and wine, prevent me from being committed 100%, which is what this diet needs.
But, I need to lose the weight: I have a new website to build which will need new photos, which will need a slimmer me! I would like to see another 30lbs come off. This will help me to feel just that much better and look just 'that' much better in my dresses for the photos.
Last fall I had one of my favourite milestones. I lost enough weight to buy a pair of leather boots. Before I started the weightloss my calves were 23" and last fall the shrunk down to 17" and with a lot of effort we got a wide calf boot zipped up! They are beautiful boots, extremely comfortable and I proudly wear them all the time.
I didn't think I would find a pair of cute boots to wear with my short dresses and skirts.... and that dream is now a reality! I look forward to losing more and maybe splurging on a second pair!!
More to come...

We keep going....
Round 3!
As I had said in my previous blog, I started with great determination, but floundered the whole 30 days. My Daughter struggled too. I probably lost a total 10lbs this round and 5 of it being weight I had lost before. But it's a loss, so that's what matters most!
I stopped the drops around the 16th of August and have continued to drop in weight about half to one pound each day. My total weight loss since February 21 is, 56.2lbs!!
As I have finished this last round, my appetite seems to be very slow, and low! It's been great! I have been able to resist eating carby foods and avoiding sweets.
I've decided to allow for things like popcorn and if I'm in a situation where wine is being served, I will enjoy a glass. What I would like to see through these next 30 days is a bit more weight loss and good strong stabilization of my weight.
I feel in control right now, and feel like I will be able to have success.
Looking at my loose flabby skin, I am going to need to start lifting weights and doing things to strengthen my muscles, especially the tummy ones.
Here is a recent photo.... It is a slimmer me, but the camera angle and the bustier really help!
More to come....
