Hello little toes!

Did my 4th yoga session last night AND I COULD TOUCH MY TOES!! For those of you who are more flexible than a fridge to start with ,that might not sound like a great achievement but for me it's huge! I could only just touch them with straight legs, but that's about 20 cm further than I've managed to stretch since I don't know when! Usually the "touch your knees with your forehead and reach for your toes" stretch just has me grunting and flapping my arms 3/4 of the way down to the floor - so close but yet so far away. But yesterday, towards the end of the session, nice and warmed up, I had a close encounter with my long lost toes. It was a happy reunion :)

Also managed to fit in 1.5h walking yesterday, and had a really good day food wise (at last), so if I can keep this up for the rest of the week perhaps the scales won't punish me too harshly for my Amsterdam slip-up. Walked 45 min this morning in the pouring rain - had to make a temporary rain cover for my backpack with a plastic bag and sticky tape - and each tube station I passed I was longing to escape the rain and go underground on a dry, warm train! As a result I'm now sitting here with soggy feet, but I know the feet will dry and hopefully it will pay off on Monday. 

My friend has now also joined WW, and it's pretty good as we both want to loose the same amount of weight, and have roughly the same BMI. Plus she's also going to the Valentines ball which means we're both racing towards the same goals exactly! Meeting her for lunch and a walk around Hyde Park on Sat, can't wait! :)
