Emma's journey to becoming a slim bride *09/08/13*

[emma_30]

Ive decided to go running! I bought some trainers and downloaded week 1 of 'couch to 5k'.

I'm going to start tomorrow. Terrified doesn't cover it!

16st 5 this morning, so 3lb off.

 

[emma_30]

16 1 this morning. Very happy with that, it means im only 4lb away from where I was when I fell off the wagon (again).

Wedding wise, I've bought dresses for my older 2 girls. We've gone for monsoon estella in pink . I'm now looking for the cream version on eBay for our smallest daughter.

I went to my first wedding fayre yesterday. I didn't buy anything but I came away with loads of business cards for services that I probably can't afford lol I'm scared at how much saving we still need to do.

I went running this afternoon!! I was going to go last week but I was full of cold and felt miserable. I'm starting the C25K program so today being week 1 day 1, I was running 1 minute and then walking 90 seconds before running again. I found the last 3 or 4 runs really difficult but I tried to imagine myself in a gorgeous size 14 (or 12!) wedding dress. Pushed me on even though I was ready to fall into a heap lol

Weigh in today tomorrow and I'm dreading it. I lost my engagement ring on Friday and I've had a takeaway, alcohol and chocolate to make myself feel better. I managed to climb back on the wagon this morning though so hopefully I haven't done too much damage.

No, I didn't find it I lost it in work (a shop), ive looked everywhere i can think of and I've put a sign in the window but I'm starting to lose hope now. My other half has been great about it and said we'd buy another. I don't really want another one, I want that one but if it gone, it's gone

My weight sts this week but as its the time of the month, I'm ok with that.

I bought some size 18 skinny jeans 3 weeks ago (I know 18 isn't skinny but the jeans are fab and ive never bought any like them). I couldn't even pull them over the top of my thighs but today they fit! Hurrah! Very pleased with that, it means my 14 dress isnt a million miles away.

[emma_30]

[shonaw]

[emma_30]

How did you do this week Shona? I lost 1lb. I'm abit about that because I've tried really hard but I'm going to keep at it and hope for a better week next week.

 

[emma_30]

Set a date to meet a photographer! Woohoo! Very excited to tick that box. She seems like lovely lady and fairly reasonable with her prices too.

Diets been going ok this week- had a sneaky peek on the scales and I've lost 2lb. Whoop! Really hope I can push it to 3!

 

[emma_30]

-2lb! Woop!

 

[emma_30]

I've been so busy with work that I keep forgetting to come on here.

The photographer we met was lovely and we decided to book her straight away. That's another thing to tick off the list anyway.

 

[emma_30]

Man alive I'm rubbish at this.

Started slimming world today and I'm 16st 6.5 :/ I hoping the weekly weigh in and group support helps keep on on track.

I also went to the gym today. 10 minutes tread mill, 5 stepper and 5 on the cross trainer. I actually thought I would throw when I finished :/

 

[emma_30]

Good week. -4.5lb on the scales (16.2 now), lots of gym time (did 11 minutes on cross trainer yesterday, yippie) and managed 22 lengths swimming (25 is my next target).

 

[emma_30]

I've lost 1st 0.5lb with slimming world now. Very happy.

Still dont have a wedding dress yet but going to try some on on Saturday in the hope of finding the one!

 

[emma_30]

Got my first slimmer of the week award on Thursday. Really happy!

2lb until my 1 1/2 award AND I'll be in the 14s for the first time in years

 

[emma_30]

Weigh in tomorrow. I'm really, really hoping to get my 1 1/2 stone award

I've finally bought a dress, i pick it up on good Friday and I'm so excited to try it on!
