Weigh in today was unexpected - a loss of 1.6kg, which is much higher than I anticipated. It means that today I got my second weight watchers "star" - a 5% body fat loss! Hooray!
In celebration, we are going to go out to have Thai for our treat night tonight, to the local restaurant called Sala Thai. Very nice from memory, as we went their for Catherine's birthday.

In the interim, I've decided to settle myself down for a rest. We've already been to the gym today and I managed a 600 calorie burn, just over an hour's cardio. My knee is grumbling a little as usual, but a good deal less than it has done of late, and my calves feel like they need a rest. In fact they're sore to the touch. So no gym until Monday now.
Currently, I am sat in our living room, on the sofa, with my feet up on the stool, listening to the Eagles and writing this. It occured to me what a beautiful song "The Last Resort" is again, I always forget until I hear it. It seems to resonate with me strongly, I suppose as a result of the upping sticks and disappearing off to a foreign land (otherwise known as Yorkshire) - granted I've not laid waste to my surrounds, got high in the town or generally oppressed an entire race of people. I think what I am saying is that it has left me in a reflective mood.
Two years ago, if someone had said to me that I'd be living in Leeds with my wonderful other half, in a beautiful house, with a job that I really enjoy and feeling so good about myself and our lives in general, I really just wouldnt have believed it. It would have been just too good to be true. I think that sometimes I forget just how happy I am, and just how unhappy I have been. I really don't celebrate how happy I am enough. I must never take it for granted, and never be afraid that I might lose it. These must be the best years of my life and I must enjoy them, because I cannot dare to hope that they will be better than this.
Sniffle, sniffle. Silly song.
I suppose I'm also in a great mood because I've booked our flights out to see Mum and Dad, and I'm really looking forward to it already! Granted I'll see them in March, and we'll get to take them out to one of our favourite restaurants and they can stay with us a little longer this time which is much more satisfactory, but when we go out to them it feels like a real holiday. And I get to practice my failing French!!
