Wednesday Morning update

1.2 pounds lighter this morning, after a PW day yesterday. Happy with that.

Went shopping with the neighbour earlier. She's in her mid-80s and has a few mobility issues as a result, so I have been mowing the lawn for her for the last few years. As her pain issues are worsening of late, I also take her shopping from time to time. She can walk there using her late husband's wheeled walker, but the walk back after being on her feet for ninety minutes she finds very painful.

Picked up a couple of pairs of Capri pants as it was gloriously hot and sunny. The clouds immediately came over. I was unsure what size to get...I knew my 50s from last year were tight, and that the jeans I picked up in Aldi were a 52 and are getting baggy as I lose weight, but the 52s that were out of the packaging looked quite small. I picked up a pair of 54s and a pair of 52s, figuring I could always take them back if they didn't fit. The 54s fit okay; they're baggy round the waist but that's normal for me. On that basis I haven't tried the 52s, but I am fairly certain they won't go near me. Oh well, something else to slim into!

I forget to mention that I bought a dress yesterday. We had to go to the biggest supermarket to replace a kitchen item, and I saw a lovely geometric print black and white wrap dress. They didn't have a 52/54 but I felt that that might be a touch on the large side, so picked up a 48/50 (that's a UK 20-22). It very nearly fits perfectly, there's just a bit too much wodge left on my left hip. The dress drapes beautifully on the other side of my midsection, but seems to cling rather too lovingly to my left hip and the top of my left thigh. I reckon half a stone or so should see it fit fine, though. Another month, tops.

Anyway, just a quick update for now.
