Jenni's diary: Given up chocolate!

[jennikay]

Wooooo I have an exciting invite

One of my friends who used to be a cadet at my squadron has invited me to the RAF Wittering Officers' Summer Ball All very exciting, I'm going dress shopping tomorrow

It's my race on Sunday! Shall update on Sunday evening, I'm off to Scotland with Jon's family on Monday so will be a quick one. It's all going on these few weeks!

Just trying to fill up the time before results day 6 weeks and 2 days
Honestly can't tell whether I've got into Imperial or not, but we shall see. UCAS updates at 7am on results day so I'll be screaming from the rooftops if I got in

Ooh, dress shopping! Pictures pl0x

 

[jennikay]

Sadly Chrome won't let me onto the dress shop's website because it has nasty stuff on it hosting malware and the like.

Shall take a photo of me in it when I decide which one to get

Also I'll make sure I take pictures on the night with my hair done and all

I love a posh "do" - going to one on the 25th July - not been in my posh sparkly frock in years - couldn't be in it for years to be honest, but can this time!!! Hurrah.

Enjoy Scotland. Where are you going? xx

 

[jennikay]

Mine's on the 31st - can't wait!
Picutre of my dress:

I have to have my shoulders covered so there's a tiny navy blue bolero there

And these shoes:

Going to the west coast of Scotland, near Dumfries

[Karenlou]

dress looks lovely hon x

 

[omnomnom]

How much do you weigh at the mo Jenni.. surely not 11 11? You still look tiny!

 

[jennikay]

Thanks Karen good to see you're still here!

I'm not 11.11 - I'm about 10.11 at the moment, I was wearing control pants too
The dress is a 12, which is pretty sad but I'll get there, one day I will, promise

xx

 

[Less Rotund One]

You look lovely in it - and as Jess says, still tiny.

Shoes are great too. Enjoy. xx

 

[jennikay]

Back from my race!
Did it in 1:20 hours, not bad considering my epic lack of practise

Absolutely knackered now though, everywhere aches and I have some lovely red sunburn on my face/neck/shoulders. Was very warm, though with some nice breezes occasionally so wasn't too bad.

Pretty disappointed with the lack of water at the water stations though. You'd think, since they KNOW how many people are taking part, that they'd put enough water out, but no, I only got a bottle of sports drink at the 5k mark

Ah well, finished it in one piece in a good time. Donations welcome

xx

 

[jennikay]

Oh yeah - Scotland tomorrow. Hah, almost forgot.

Looking forward to it, Jon sent me some photos of the cottage though can't be bothered to upload them so you can see them when I get back - tough!

I'm fervently hoping I'm in the quiet coach from Newcastle - Dumfries otherwise I think I'll actually go insane. Was in the quiet coaches today/yesterday and they're sooo much nicer. No screaming kids and they're generally pretty empty. Win win situation

Got a couple of trashy magazines and a free copy of Jordan's novel (Oh dear ) so I should be fine

See you all in 2 weeks!

xx

 

[CCPM]

Dress look great and hope you have a good holiday in Scotland.

[Karenlou]

Hi Jenni - did you have a good holiday? How awful was Jordan's novel?

 

[jennikay]

I'm sat in a lovely little restaurant, just had lunch and having a coffee now. Still in Scotland, though I'm back tomorrow so I'll update properly then.
Think I've lost a bit of weight, been walking every day and not eating chocolate. My jeans are definitely looser! I'll let you know how it's going on Sunday morning - I'm hoping to be roughly 10st 10, I hit the 11st barrier before I came away so I'm definitely not going to let myself gain any more.

3 weeks and 6 days until results day... I've been having dreams/nightmares about it for weeks now!

xx

 

[CCPM]

You will be fine and have done really well. result if you come back in the 10s what a good start to uni a really slim Jen

Good luck

M

 

[omnomnom]

Haha, I can't wait to be 11 stone Good luck with your results, though I have a feeling you don't need it! I find a don't really put on weight on holiday either, too active.. I came back from 2 weeks in Turkey a few lb lighter.

 

[Karenlou]

Hi hon. Walking certainly is good exercise so you might well have knocked some off. Good luck for wi and glad you're enjoying yourself x

 

[IreneH]

Glad you are having a great time

Irene xx

 

[jennikay]

Well, I've lost 1lb was nice to see a 10 on the scales, even if it was 10.13

Still catching up on everything! Haven't been away for more than a week in ages!

Also preparing for the ball on Friday - sorted out my hair comb, sewn some crystals onto it now and it's all sparkly
Decided I'm going to colour my hair with henna this week, going to use some Lush henna (Caca Marron) so I'll upload pics when I've done it. Apparently henna leaves your hair in lovely condition so I'll see how it works out! Hopefully won't be a horrible colour, haha.

xx

 

[jennikay]

Well, the henna didn't do much to my hair, but it does have a lovely reddish tint to it in the light. I quite like it, but I'm going to redo it and leave it in for longer after I go to Center Parcs this week.

The ball was fabulous all sorts of random stuff (there were dodgems!) not just your average sit down dinner and disco

Knackered now, and rather hung over (free bar!) so I'll update after I get back from Center Parcs, Jon's staying over now until we go so won't get much of a chance to write

Diet wise, well, I ate 3 meals last night! I'll see how terrible it is when I get back from holiday.
