New job means I'm much more active (think going from 3000 steps a day and a desk to 12000 steps and not sitting down all day). Consequently I'm finally starting to lose some weight. A stone so far without a huge change to my diet, another 3 stone to go but I kind of think I might have cracked it this time round.
I had put weight on in the last few years, but am now dragging my old skinny jeans out that I couldn't even do up. Today, they are hanging off of me. Even when I've been this weight before I wasn't toned at all. My legs are stronger, my arse is less massive and I can feel stomach muscles under the flab! Strangely this makes me feel better, I'm not just getting thinner, I'm getting stronger. Maybe, just maybe, I'll be not whale sized on my 40th!
I sound like a boasting fecker, I know. This last few years have been stressful, and my self care and esteem had dropped. Add in infertility and a diagnosis of PCOS and I finally feel less like a lump and more like myself.
