Yay! I wore the new trousers (comfortably!) yesterday to a preview of Cowal Open Studios

The trousers are quite lightweight so just in time to get a few wearings of them before I need warmer ones. And an incentive not to put that weight back on before next spring/summer as I do like them and feel nice in them.

The show at The Creggans Inn features a work or two from each of the artists who will be opening their studios at the end of September. If you will be in the area it is well worth a look especially if you think you won't have time to visit all the studios - this might help you choose which to go to. (I am not taking part this year.) The Creggans do good lunches too.

I still have two fast days (today and Wednesday) of the 30 day challenge... How is your challenge going?

Don't stop yet!
:
I think I will continue with the 5:2 - eating lightly on two days of the week. It is said to have many health benefits and I feel good, and energetic on it.

Brilliant - well done Freda! And what a nice event to wear your new (comfortable!) trousers to. Do you have some other treats planned too to celebrate?
My challenge has had some unexpected outcomes and I won't achieve my goal as far as yoga is concerned, but it's not a complete failure because it has highlighted a health issue I need to deal with, so that's good to know. And it has also shown me that more walking/exercise gives me a lot more energy and I've been more productive too - yay!

I knew you would achieve your goal! So happy for you.

Unrelated to my Yoga challenge I ruptured a tendon in my elbow while doing something totally easy. That was the end to Yoga (as well as to Chi Neng Chi Gong for some time). So apart from learning that I am more fragile than I knew I was, no goals achieved here.

Just wondering: may I celebrate yours instead?

Oh no! Please join me in a toast - I will raise a glass to your good health at dinner tonight Cath. x

Oh Cath, sorry to hear your yoga was brought to an abrupt end. I hope your tendon heals soon. x

Condolences indeed, Cath..hope your elbow will heal! And Freda..how marvelous that you ahve found an eating routine that is workable and keeps you energetic...i am going to predict that you WILL reach your goal, but perhaps not quite as soon as you intended..still it WILL happen! I have lost 3 lbs total, inspite of totally falling off the wagon...my husband had a health crisis and i had to take what food was available, when it was available for a while there...it is all good...

Julia in difficult circumstances you have done very well! It is all good and as long as we are still motivated and moving, or creeping, in the right direction it will happen. Good wishes for your husbands recovery..

Well done Freda!
I feel thinner but the scales are still taking some convincing. No matter. I will keep going. Half a stone in the next three months or bust..

Freda

6/9/2016 02:28:10 pm

I am paying less attention to the scales and more to how the clothes feel and the inchtape! Good luck with what sounds like a realistic goal...

Freda to Jessica

6/9/2016 02:39:01 pm

In fact Jessica I will join you in that goal if I may?

Happy for you, Freda. Glad your weather is still nice, too, so you can enjoy your trousers for a bit longer. Another ghastly heat wave here--in the 90s with ugh-ful high humidity. Not energizing :(. Here's to cooler weather!

Freda

Thank you Mary and I hope you get some cooler weather soon..
