Ok. Here's the aforementioned post in its entirety:
The Challenge is Afoot!
Right. Well.
I may have said it before, but:
From today I am 100% determined to re-lose this weight.
And this time I have a Challenge To Rise To.
So I'm definitely going to do it!
You see - Skinny Dawn (aka Dinky Dawn, Delicious Dawn, Delinquent Dawn, Deluded Dawn.... - take your pick!) thinks I'm going to turn out like her.
Perish the thought.
As you all know, Delightful Dawn has lost rather a lot of weight. And she looks great on it. (See below!) But in the course of that, she's also lost rather a lot of her "Girl's Best Friends".
To put it bluntly, whereas she used to be satisfactorily well-endowed, she now needs to resort to chicken fillets.
She has been de-boobed.
Whereas I (as can sadly be seen in the photo of us from the weekend) am once again rather more chunky than I had managed to become, and am correspondingly (again - you only have to glance at the photo) rather magnificently endowed.
Dubious Dawn made the mistake last night of saying "I bet that you won't say the same in 6 months".
Now, when I did lose the weight, yes of course I lost some off my boobs, but I stayed similarly proportioned, and I certainly still didn't need any padding in the mammary department.
Now as it happened, yesterday when this Challenge was issued, when the Gauntlet was, as it were, Thrown Down, was none other than my half-birthday.
So the six months that she set as the Challenge Period would end nicely, exactly on my birthday.
And those who have been around here for a while will know that that I set my original target date as my birthday last year.
So there's a kind of poetic equilibrium in making my next birthday my Goal Date for getting back there.
So, that's it, really.
By 5th June, 2012, I have to have
a) lost my weight again, and
b) retained sufficient boobage so as not to be in Down-Sized Dawn's deflated state.
I can do that, can't I?
And when I asked what she was betting, we agreed on a curry.
So - on my birthday next year, Delectable Dawn (and the Gorgeous Gwyn) and I will be out in one of Northampton's premier curry houses, and the bill will be footed by...
Well, if I'm not back in target range, with mammary capacity retained, it'll be me.
If I am, it'll be Downcast Dawn.
My money's on the latter.
I can be quite determined when I really try.
The only problem is that Dominatrix Dawn is my usual Arse-Kicker-In-Chief. And surely it's now become against her interest to do that.
So I may need to recruit further Arse-Kickers, if I find her slacking in that department.
I can count on you, can't I?
So - today is Day 1 of The Challenge.
And a GREEN day.
Yoghurt & nana for breakfast.
Satsumas (1) & a napple (2) for snack.
Lunch was SuperSpeed soup (3-14), and Scanbran (HXB) with Philly Light (HXA).
I think dinner will be lentil dahl (15) and rice. I need something quick, cos I've got a meeting later.
Tomorrow I think I might do a RED day, but we'll see how it goes.
And depending on what time I get in tonight, I might try to do Jillian.
And then have a bowl of Weetabix, milk, 1tsp sugar (1) and my Advent Calendar chocolate (3).
Bum. I need one more syn for it to count as an on-plan day. Well, I'll find another couple, somewhere.
And that will be Day One.
I'm coming to get you, Doubting Dawn!
