Day 40 - new hair, new photo & Take That!

Today has been a good day - a really enjoyable day off - well except for the bit when Andy Murray didn't beat Rafa Nadal again :0(

It started off with breakfast which included the new cereal I bought yesterday which I had with blackberries & semi-skimmed milk and a large glass of Pink Grapefruit squash (my current favourite sugar-free drink). Then I made a discovery that as well as being a cereal that you can eat slightly more of (42g instead of 28g) so that it seems like a proper bowl of cereal it also had a fairly dramatic effect on by toilet habits - this is probably a good thing and an unexpected bonus - time will tell if that's every time or just the first time!

Then took boys to bus stop & then went straight to the gym - no faffing about just straight there (a good thing because of above!!). Had my measurements taken & targets set and did my workout. 499 cals burned today & boy did it feel like it.........
At Curves as well as the measurements I've done already (which were as already posted this week) they also measure your body fat - mine is 41.8% - not good :( but it will improve :0)
So targets I set were by 1/8/11

• to lose 3inches 
• to lose 2% body fat
• to get into my size 18 jeans (actually that's a pre-holiday target)

Didn't set a weight loss target as that's my SW stuff. I also set myself a personal target to do some exercise 3 times a week because

1. It's good for me
2. I enjoy it when I do it (just not when I think about it)
3. More calories burned means more weight lost.

From gym I went to deli but before that I noticed on FB that an old colleague of mine was selling TT tickets for Tuesday night & luckily I was first to say yes please - Rhian Wright you always were my favourite trainer :)

Then off to the hairdresser - fancied a colour change as it's been quite subtle for a while & also something ego boosting before the 40th birthday party tomorrow. I have a new colourist & hadn't been happy but I think he's done a great job. The cut's great as always and after a couple of attempts at taking my own photo (uncharacteristically narcissistic for me) the result is above (thanks for my new look Darren & Stuart).

Then home for an afternoon & early evening of superb tennis.

I had a mixed salad for lunch eggs, smoked salmon, celery, tomatoes & radishes with plenty of water/squash and a pear.

For dinner we had roast chicken (sprinkled with chicken seasoning - yummy & crisps the skin beautifully) with green beans (my favourite) and boiled new potatoes & I feel much fuller with the added carbs. I had some raspberries for dessert & that's be done for tonight.

Tomorrow I'm at shul, Visitation Day at Aldenham & then Russell's 40th birthday party in Shaftesbury Avenue so probably not posting until Sunday.
Also will need to think really carefully about what I eat & drink Saturday night - first party since the new, more attuned me.
But I have a new dress & hopefully they'll be more photos.

Have a good weekend all & thanks again for all the feedback.
