    Been feeling pretty despondent recently as I've been put on loads of drugs and still having tests/hospitals visits etc which is messing with my routines, exercise, logging, weight targets and my head, quite frankly, so I've been struggling to find anything positive about life right now.

    Until my three year old daughter gave me a hug <3 this morning and announced that she could put both of her arms around me and touch her wrists. This is a major thing, as a year ago not even my husband could do that.

    I'm starting to see my weight loss as well; yesterday I spend the most boring day on earth watching my daughter being "pampered" (I'd won a competition and nominated her to have the prize) - personal dresser/make up etc and whilst in the dressing rooms with her I noticed my reflection. I was gobsmacked as I am so much smaller than a year ago - I've gone from a UK 28/30 to a UK 8/10 but I still "felt" really obese up until yesterday. My daughter's personal dresser person asked how much weight I'd lost - I told her and added that I have another 20-30lbs to go to which she exclaimed that I did not need to loose more weight. I do though, as I still have horrible stomach/thigh/leg/bum/arm fat. I look like I'm in the second trimester of pregnancy. That's got to go.

    Anyway, after my three-year old's "act of true love" as she puts it (yeah, a Frozen fan) I got dressed feeling more positive and resolved than ever to beat this and to get rid of these last few pounds that are hanging around.

    And my new gym opens tomorrow; had a look around on Friday and I'm very excited about getting in there and getting started. Neither the winter or the weather can stop me exercising now as the gym is open 24/7!

    Woah!!!! Lady friend, that is AMAZING!!!! What is your secret?!?

    Technically this is a scale victory but I just weighed in at an "overweight" bmi and I'm so happy I'm crying! On my way to the gym now to work some more!

    Congrats, even if it is a scale victory.

    While adding plates for my Deadlifts yesterday, I caught a glimpse of my 52 year old self in the mirror and took note: I love me. I am aging, my hair is greying, my hands look like my mother's.....but my *kitten* looks perkier than it has in years, my eyes still see life as gleeming even in chaos and stress, my laugh is deeply felt, and frankly - a society that tells older women every day that "you are invisible" can f-ing bite me! Rant done. Moral of the story: Love yourself people! You are worth it.

    This ^^ is why you are my friend <3
