The good news is that my new Rohan jeans which arrived today fit me perfectly . . . which wasn’t the case two months ago when I tried some on in the Rohan Harrogate shop and discovered that the next size up felt much more comfortable.
Forty years ago, when I was 34 years old, I remember I had a 34 inch waist and a 34 inch inside leg and I’ve been that ever since, so I decided that it was time for a bit of a challenge.
The No-Scone Diet
I set out on a series of slightly more energetic walks than my usual pace – more of that in a later post – but also cut out on anything extra between meals so no:
- cream scones or flapjack with our morning coffee
- the odd handful of crisps
- and no red wine at the weekend 😮
No one said that this would be easy!
However, it’s worked as I’m pleased to be back to my regular waist size and I’ve lost half a stone, that’s 7 pounds, around 3 kilograms.
Maybe I can now allow myself the occasional scone . . .
