Excellent day! Started with pancakes, which always makes me happy, then my mother in law came over and after we had gone to a brilliant Indian specialty food store, she took me me shopping for clothes!

It was so lovely to try things on and not feel like they didn't suit me or that I was too bumpy to make anything look good. Lots of things looked good and I tried on things I possibly wouldn't have considered before (like white pants). I walked out an hour or so later with 6 new items of clothing and feeling like a million dollars.

We had a lovely lunch at an Afghan restaurant. It was quite easy to be healthy, grilled chicken & salad, but I also had to try the rice, bread and lamb curry, it was all soooo good.

After we came home I took my daughter for a play in the park, but didn't get much exercise done because I met a friend there and we just chatted, very nice.

I cannot believe that I only have 2 more days left on the Maintenance Program. I'll finish up this blog after 43 days but I'm pretty happy to keep my diet going this way, I feel great!

I'll write about the Meditation and Visualisation tomorrow...
