Ring ring....

I weighed myself this morning (nothing new there then!) and the scales told me I'm now 12 stone and 5 lbs! At the time, I thought "this is significant" but it took me some time to figure out why. And then it came to me - that was what I weighed when me and my better half got married 22 years ago!! Well, I got a bit excited but have no fear, I haven't gone as far as trying on my wedding dress! However, it struck me that there was something else I wore back then that might just be worth a try. My rings!

I have a simple gold band wedding ring, plus a gold man's style band ring that I was given when we got engaged. It belonged to my hubby's grandfather and has his initials engraved on a crest. I wore both rings until I started doing a Ph.D - it involved spending hours in a mine engineering lab cutting up rocks and so I stopped wearing the rings for fear of damaging them. By the time I'd moved onto other things I'd put on weight and they no longer fit. As I've lost weight, periodically I've tried them on - to no avail - until now! They fit! They're on my digits as we 'speak'!

So today's a day for ringing in the changes (ha ha)! I'm now at the weight that I was through much of my University years - some I reckon to have been the best in my life. I'm also at the weight I was when I said my vows to the man I still love with all my heart. So it's onwards and upwards (well, downwards as far as weight is concerned!) from here. Ring ring, ring ring, is that the telephone? No, it's my new life calling!
