Such a perfect day

Weather is hotting up in London which is making me smile. I've spent today outside in the garden with my girls and it's been just lovely. I'm hoping summer is finally here.
Of course, if it is, it makes me all the more determined to lose this weight. Nothing worse than the first day of summer to remind you how pale you and how tight last year's summer clothes now are.
I'm definitely someone who puts on weight over the winter and loses it over the summer (although I have been pregnant the last 2 winter's so I guess that doesn't really count.) I think I just need that reminder of summer clothing to tell me that I can no longer hide the bulges. But... there is great news here... I HAVE FINALLY LOST THAT POUND. Yes indeedy, that naughty horrid pound. That pound which has refused to budge for the last 2 weeks and has kept me stuck on 154. But this morning, 153. Whoop dee doop dee do!
I am now 7 pounds lighter than when I started this woe 4 weeks ago and I'm really pleased. I know that I'm losing slowly and that's OK. I could maybe speed things up by cutting out certain foods such as dairy or avocado or splenda but, frankly, I enjoy these things so I'm going to keep them in my daily allowance and just plod along and lose in my own slow way.
I am also getting a lot more adventurous with cooking and today made a beef stew type thing in my crockpot. It slow cooked all day and the meat was beautifully tender. In the last few nights I've also made lamb and feta patties, thai beef curry and parmesan crusted chicken. Yum.
Off to bed now but what a lovely happy day.

That's really kind of you. Thank you for the support. Looks like you're doing pretty good too. I like the fact you post your food everyday. Might start doing that myself.
