Lou -4lbs = 2lbs to go Jo +½lbs = 11½lbs to go
Well well…..what a week. Completing Zumba Gold training, Dancing in Heels across the bridge Westfields Stratford shopping centre for New Look, to be rewarded with a 4lb loss (plus a new pair of heels) is the icing on the cake. Writing down what you eat really can keep you focused.
Doing something different will most certainly make your body react and in my case Dancing in Heels at 6.30am did it for me. LOL. My diet? I had a lot more fish, green vegetables and oranges this week. Try something different, you may surprise yourself.
2lbs to reach 5 stone……..can I reach it next week?

1. Pour 4 tablespoons of boiling water in a large bowl and sprinkle over the gelatine. Stir until dissolved and then set aside.
