Back in the Slimming World game...

Finally! After a very up and down time since we came back from holidays, I finally got back in my groove, got my head back in the game and managed three weeks in a row of losses! This string of wins took me back to where I was when we went on holiday in July.

As you can see from my graph above, I finally hit my lowest weight since joining Slimming World just over a year ago.  I was particularly chuffed to finally get back under 20 stone, back under where I had been before the holiday but also to crack on.  Been a long time since I was particularly happy with my journey.  But, I'm back!

We went to a christening recently, and posed for this selfie above, and it made me think back to the bottom half of that photo. Our second date, early February 2006, we went to see a movie and then wandered to a little pub where we hung out for hours.  I like this comparison, mostly because we both look happy in both pictures, but also because I think, although we both look a bit older, we both look loads healthier.  Caroline, my lovely wife, has barely aged a day but I've gone grey and got old in the 12 years since...

I call this photo, A Tale Of Two Coats.  On the right is the coat I bought when I took my current job, it was a touch big, but over a suit it fitted fine.  On the left is my work uniform coat.  The coat I was issued with when I took the job never even got close to fitting me, the one in the photo is a size smaller than that one.  Pretty much knocked three extras off my coat size in a year. Pretty chuffed with that.  I posted this on my Instagram account the other and it has gone a bit nuts, in relative terms at least. 

So this one wasn't a big old heart stopping thrill ride of a blog entry, I just wanted to check in, sorry!
