Week 8

Well, I definitely had a shock this morning when I jumped on the scales - week 8's loss = 2.9 kilos!!! This brings my total loss on the program to 19.4 kilos (in just 8 weeks)!!  Or as Lynda converted for me - that is 43 pounds of butter!!!

Tried on a pair of jeans this morning that used to fit comfortably - here is a photo of what they look like now.... 




And here is a photo of Miss Rachel (now 6) for those that haven't seen her for awhile.  This was taken last night after a day of Easter Eggs (for her) and she was finishing the day with a Ice Cream Pink Panther drink that I made her (which she said was to sweet for her).

I have survived the Easter break well - Stephan got 1 egg (from me) and then Rachel had her collection from the Easter Bunny, us and one of her Nana's.  Though on saying that, chocolate has never been a weak point for me (unless it is combined with mint/peppermint) - but Hot Cross Buns - a totally different story altogether!!!  I just drawl at the thought of them and survived Stephan eating 1/2 dozen of them but then 4 of them were eater while I was out of the house.  But the 2 he did have while I was home was murder for me!  But I did not deviate at all!!

Awesome about the jeans!
Rachel looks so cute with her bunny ears.
I'm the same... I can forgo chocolate, but hot cross buns.... OMG the smell.... the sight... very hard to resist. *sniff* I resisted. Proud of you too for not having any.
