Hello my sexy pantses!!

Wishing you all a less miserable Friday than here in Windsor! The weather is gross!!

Having a gorgeous day and a very productive one too!!

Me and the devil child got dressed and went out for half 9 this morning!!! We went into town to buy peters Christmas presets for when he's home!! Bought him the new xbox - yep I am to be even more of an xbox widow - the new call of duty game - as he's obviously not experienced enough war stuff lol and some other bits and bobs!

He would kick my ass for sayin this hehe but wen I was walking through town a reasonably attractive fella most definately looked me up and down hehe and not in the "dear god your fat" way!!!! Wouldn't mind but i was pushing the pram lol so yeah... I feel normal today and quite attractive lol! Never tell Peter he will lock me in the house for all eternity haha

Got home from town and wrapped peters presents in the wrapping paper we made with lissys hand and foot prints and they look fab fab fab

Had a lovely walk round town, and it was nice to look in shop windows thinking - I like that - and they will do it in my size!

All my clothes fit from ore pregnancy lipotrim weight loss so I'm thrilled!

Feel like iv got all new clothes haha

Weigh day is on Monday but my daily weigh in shows I am 14 10!!

3lbs to go to skinniest weight and RNR goal woohoo!!

Started shredding again last night I'm doin a half shred! 5 days of each level and then hubby home!

Me and Anna (my cd buddy and peters best friends wife) are planning what we are going to eat haha

Look away now if u don't want to read about food!!!

The night before I'm staying at her house aren't undo that day we are eating and doing what we want lol

Anna bought 12 mini cheesecakes lol and chicken fajitas and she wants dominoes for tea haha it's all in vain I know as my stomach is pea sized... But my god I can't wait to have a
Mini cheese cake!!

Hope your all wonderful, keep going, it gets easier xxxxxx

Used weights for it all and my arms feel like jelly lol but feel good!

Think I'm going to do that every day until Peter is home and have a break from jillian but WILL do a full shred before he is home in April to get me to a super toned goal weight!!

Starting to get brown as well so feelin quite gorgeous hahaha

Told Peter about the fella checking me out and he was jealous lol not bad jealous / winding me up sort of thing lol was nice to feel wanted!

Can't wait to feel sexy again - feel normal now like Joe average - so won't be long til I feel attractive again! Hubby will make
Me feel like the most beautiful girl in the world as always - only this time I think I will truly believe it!

Going for a bath and then going to epilate lol as if that work out wasn't torture enough!

[Kes]

I have just Sat here in bed reading up on the last month that I have missed out on.. and oh my goodness girl you are like.... I dunno the most inspiring woman I've ever not met if you get what I mean... you really are lovely.

Nothing gets you down and you deserve everything... even those cheeky little looks from other blokes!
Must confess I had a guy wolf whistle at me while we were away... it was a very nice feeling! Esp for an old woman like me... Hehehe ok I'm only 27! Lol.

You are gonna look amazing. And you are going to wow the pants off peter! (well hopefully any way if you get what I mean Hehehe!)

I'm starting back up on Monday... hmmm that's tomorrow, and ive got my weigh in tomorrow, not looking forward to seeing the stone I've put on!.

When you do your gillian again ill be up for it! Who would have thought all those weeks ago when I was encourageing everyone to do it, that it would do some good.. and it has. It's given you more muscle and making you feel a lot better!
Happy faces all round I say!!!

Hope you are having a lovely Sunday... although if the weather is anything like here its rubbish out and your better off inside!

 

[rumbly-tums]

aaaaah Lauren, you are so amazing and so focussed and im more excited for YOU than I am for me but my news is that I have suddenly gone down two cup sizes (E to then DD then D to then to C!) SHUT UP!
No more back ache!
Ive not done the shred thing but I have been doing zumba, spin, aerobics and fartlek training (dont laugh at that bit!)
im pooped but getting thinner. my scales show 4lbs loss this week (unsure how but think its down to heavy training)
Hugs x
