Ticker to Goal

New targets

Well now that my friend Ali's wedding is over with, I need a new mini goal and today marked a good day to set it.

 "Why today Sarah?" I hear you all cry ...

Well, my friends, today is a good day because I woke up to ...


And for those of you who don't know, those are my toes (in all their unpolished glory) on my scale with my number which today is 2 stone lower than on the day of my surgery. 28 lbs off in exactly 32 weeks after surgery. Not amazing but I am proud none the less. I celebrated by watching the Queen's diamond jubilee river pageant, painting my toe nails (because I hated them in this photo) and eating a pack of Maryland cookies.


So today I have decided that since I am leaving for


in just 10 weeks, I am going to aim for another stone (14 lbs). That is a big ask for someone who hasn't done so well up until now but I am hoping showing all you lovely people my big scary number (you'll keep it a secret won't you?) will keep me a bit more accountable. (read away from the cookies)

In other news, fish shop guy and I are both feeling very guilty. I have decided he needs to dump his girlfriend and shower me with flowers and gifts sweeping me off my feet and we can head off into the sunset ... la la la.

Is that Disneyland in CA that you're headed to or Disneyworld in FL? or maybe Disneyland Paris, but I think that castle is pink :)
