I am now working in Birmingham during the week, my consultancy at Greenock has come to an end. I loved working in Greenock, the people I worked with were great and the consultancy was rewarding and developmental for me.
Having only just started in Birmingham, I am still trying to get to grips with what I am there to do.
Now to the point of this post - the centre of Birmingham is more hilly than you realise. Everywhere I go is either up hill or down hill, and I have to walk between buildings and around buildings constantly!
This has helped to speed up my weight loss and tone up my thighs and bum - I end up feeling like I have done a work out every day. I might start to wear my pedometer more regularly!
Now I only have 2 lbs to go before I reach my 5 stone weight loss.

Holiday Clothes!!!
Because I work away from home during the week (now in Birmingham not Greenock) I only get Saturday and Sunday at home. This weekend is very busy as we are packing to go on holiday to Antigua and the BVIs on Thursday.
I have deliberately not tried any of my old holiday clothes (shorts, skirts, trousers, t-shirts, dresses) in case they did not fit and then I would feel rotten and go on a food bender.
Well, the weekend before the holiday arrives and I woke up at 7.00am and got all my old smaller holiday clothes out of the cupboards and wardrobe and tried them on. Only 1 skirt and 1 pair of trousers DID NOT FIT!!!! (They were a size 22). Everything else fitted, even some size 24s. I cannot believe it!!! I am so thrilled and it has been a real boost to me. Instead of breaking out in holiday mood and having lunch out I popped to the shops and got the ingredients for mushroom stroganoff instead (served on 1 slice of toast) - lovely (I add paprika and cayenne pepper to give it bite).
I did feel able then to go shopping for 2 more swim suits (because my top has shrunk I had to get size 24s), 2 t-shirts and another floaty summer dress, as well as a pair of Croks and Crok flip-flops. My feet used to be so swollen all the time that I could never get them on.
I was feeling a bit down that it has taken me over 15 months to loose almost 5 stone, but now I feel really pleased because that 5 stone has made a huge difference to me.
