Blogmas 2017 Day Six - Weight Watchers Update

Wednesday 6th December 2017.

I went for my weekly weigh in today rather my usual day of Thursday and can happily report that I had a lose of one pound (1lb) this week. It just goes to show that properly tracking, counting points and staying on plan really does work. Occasionally I can get away with winging it but for me and for the plan to work and be effective I really need to stick to it. Its helped that I have menu planned this week and been quite mindful of what I have been eating and drinking. I will allow myself a little freedom from the plan over Christmas and New Year but I don't want to stray too far as that will undo all my recent good work. I am determined to stick with it and get where I want to be weight wise and I am hoping that 2018 is the year I can get to my goal. Whatever happens I know that I am a lot happier and healthier than I was when I first walked through the WW doors in 2016 and I am very proud of myself for sticking with it and for keeping the weight off.

I got my haircut tonight although I went to a local salon rather than my usual one. To be honest my hairdresser John did such a good job at my last appointment that it really only needed a little trim at the bottom and on the fringe this time. I do love going to see John but he works limited days and is based over in Islington so its not always convenient for me to get to him. Luckily I have a local place that I trust who does a pretty good job when I need a tidy up. At least now I can see where I am going and I no longer resemble Cousin It from the Addams Family!

Yesterday for Day 5 of my beauty advent calendar I got a Rodial Dragons Blood Sculpting Gel - very fancy sounding! This is another product for the face and this one claims to be a revolutionary anti-aging gel that volumises and defines the facial contours by plumping sagging skin. The unique dragons blood complex is sap from the Croton Lechleri tree which is supposed to reduce inflammation and redness and is ideal for tired or stressed skin. I plan to try this out this week, who knows with all these wonderful new products to try I could be a totally different woman in 2018!!

Day 6 was a Stay All Day Liquid Lipstick by Stila. Its a pretty nude colour called Perla however I am not sure the totally matt look suits me. Maybe its will look better with a light gloss over the top, will pop it in my bag and give it a try.

See you again tomorrow for another Blogmas post,

Love and festive hugs, Jane x
