Doing a jig

So today stood on scale naked of course and was delighted to see that I was 158.6.

That's 11 stone 3 for my folks in Ireland and UK. So I have got rid of nearly 140 pounds or 10 stone. (note I didn't say lost - lost sounds like I want to find it again!)

I was carting F1 my son piggy bag style and he's about 35 pounds and I had energy to carry him and thought. Wow. I can carry him and imagine carrying around 4 of him all the time. No wonder I was feckin tired!

The other milestone that was great today was at music class I stood up with my wee guy while holding him in one motion.

That was the straw that broke the camels back for me and my aha moment. When I couldn't lift my crying baby two years ago in one motion and had to leave him on floor crying while I tried to get standing up in kids music class. I thought - i need to change - for me and my babies

Today I was holding the baby and stood up. I felt like rocky and it was the Irish dancing song on the tape - doing a jig to Carlow town so I did a jig. Me and hubby even did a gentle swing ( folks who know my family know that swinging Irish style dance for us is more like rugby..)

So doing the jig ladies and gentlemen. I'm doing a jig

Only 8-9 more pounds to go and I have a normal bmi and hit goal. One of my goals. I hit my own goal today and I'm bloody proud of myself
