Breaking through the 16 stone barrier

Apologies for tardiness on the blog of late, been a busy few days in terms of work, actual work that pays real money, so that was a good thing.
But more importantly than all of that, I had my weigh in on Monday and I'm now down to 16st and 2lbs, which is two and a half off last week.
That is great and it means I'm the lowest weight I have been for perhaps more than two years.
Although my euphoria is tempered by the knowledge that if I hadn't put on two pounds last week I would now be under 16st.
I feel like I have been hovering around the 16st mark for weeks now, trying to break through the barrier. A bit like standing outside a trendy nightclub for hours waiting for the chance to get in and just getting knocked back by the bouncer. Sort of.
Also quite slightly unbelievable that I have lost weight at all after the week I had. Got quite wine-drunk on Thursday night as we had a couple of good friends over for dinner, which also involved lots of lovely food and another pavlova.
Then there was my brother's stag do on Saturday, and I didn't exactly sit chewing on a celery stick all day Sunday either.
So this week I'm determined to shave off that couple of pounds and get down to a svelte 15st 13lbs. I'll hardly recognise myself!
