Official Weekly Weigh-InMy boss bought me a book for Christmas that I've finally got around to reading. It's called The Secret, and it's basically all about how positive thinking will get you everything you want in life. Well, yesterday I got to thinking about my weight progress over the course of the week and how I really wanted and needed to drop 3lbs by this morning to get back on track to my final goal. Unfortunately, although I did fine most of the day, I went off the rails around teatime and spiralled into an evening of binging on wine, cheese and pringles. Not a very good combination, and not really in line with meeting my weight loss goals... However, the book does say that the universe can move in mysterious ways to bring us what we want, and the combination of alcohol and high fat food obviously didn't agree with my stomach and I threw up all night. Lo and behold, this morning I'd lost the desired 3lbs!! In weather news, we woke up to much excitement yesterday morning - it was snowing, and actually settled. This is quite a rare event in the south of England, and it was the first time my little boy had seen snow! He was a bit apprehensive at first, but enjoyed helping to build his first snowman: Happy days!! :)

I haven't gotten a chance to read that one - although I've been wanting to. Sorry about the throwing up, but congrats on the loss! Cute picture too!

Ooh snow... you lucky thing!!! We had a couple of snow flurries yesterday in Plymouth but they didn't come to anything, so no snow for us this morning. :o( Aw, you poor thing... sorry to hear that you were sick last night, but hope you're feeling better again now. The universe does seem to work in some mysterious ways... sometimes we ask and we get... lol... you obviously asked and got (not the ideal way!), but congratulations on the 3lbs loss. ;o) Thankfully I'm back down to 151.5lbs this morning, but hopefully the scales will be nicer to us this week and give us what we deserve. Happy snow playing!!! Aw, I bet Finlay loved it once he got used to it - you both look all wrapped up lovely and warm there and is a really lovely piccy. :o)

Oh how wonderful for your son to make his first snowman! Thanks for sharing the event with a beautiful pic of the "three" of you (the snowman, too!). I have read The Secret and it there really is something to all that positive energy. It's funny how things managed to work out for you in regards to the weight loss even if it was quite an ordeal for you. Hope you are feeling better now. Enjoy your snow! (I'm patiently waiting for our mountains of it to go away!)

Great news!! Now I wonder if the bit of brisket & the margarita I had yesterday will affect my scale the same way? (although I was not sick last night ..... lol)

Thank you everyone! I'm still feeling a little bit delicate, but have at least managed to keep my food and, more importantly, water down. I'm way behind on all my Fatsecreting, but will try to catch up tomorrow, in between study sessions. :)

What a beautiful pic! And your son is sooo cute! As for "Secret", I watched the DVD a while ago, and while I didn't think it was a miracle cure, I did think there was something to positive thinking and energy..my gf swears it's gonna make her lose the exact amount of weight she predicted (oh! and win the lottery!)...well, in your case you did get your wish to come true, and hopefully it'll be through a better way! A little bit of vino every now and then is a good thing, though; don't worry if it tips the scales a little for a couple of days...

lol Sorry you had to get sick to get that 3 lbs off, but hey, it worked!! lol How fun, snow!! We had the most amazing snow the thursday before last... the flakes were as big as the palm of my hand!! They were falling "middle first" as they were so thick and heavy... it was amazing! It snowed about 1.5 hours and was about an inch on the ground when done. Pretty cool to have snow in the end of March! Have fun!!
