Thoughts:
Well, today is my 28th day being Paleo.  And I have lost 2 more pounds, no inches and I am pleased with that.  I decided to try my vintage red coat (which is a size 14) and see how it fits.

This coat is double breasted with red buttons.  There are 2 sets of buttons to do up.  There are the 4 buttons that are hidden and then the 4 buttons that you do up on the outside.

Well, I slipped the coat on and I easily buttoned up the inside button on the top and the next one down.  And I easily buttoned up the outer top 2 buttons.  The 2 bottom buttons, I have a way to go but it's looking achievable.

I feel like I have my groove back.  I am looking at my weightloss patterns in this blog and the stupidly obvious conclusion is that I need to exercise more.  The weeks that I exercise I lose more weight.  Well duh!!!!

The things that I am noticing about my body on day 28 compared to day 1:
Skin is looking brighter and less red.  I think that is down to me drinking less alcohol.
Tummy is noticeably flatter
Cellulite is decreasing on my butt.
My clothing is feeling looser (my strapless maxi dress is falling off me today!!!)
My constipation problems are pretty much gone.
I am getting more creative with my cooking and losing my kitchenphobia.

The sleep issue is now sorted and I am 100% confident that on my birthday (October 27th) I will be rocking my gorgeous red body con and vintage red coat!!!

So, tonight I decided to celebrate and indulge in the one food that I love.  Pizza.  If it has cheese on it I am there.  Domino's have brought out a bacon and cheese stuffed crust.  It would be rude not too!!!  I know that this action will warrant a kick ass hard core workout at the gym tomorrow so I will defo be doing that!!!  I am feeling more confident today about my body and where I am going.
