What's happening with your dress? It will arrive on time!! Hope everything else is all going well with planning!! x

It's just not in yet and they can't seem to tell me when it will be in. It's freaking me out but I guess there is nothing I can do. The dressmaker says she will get it done for me no matter what when it arrives. Good thing I have her or I think I would be going nuts! 3 weeks tomorrow until the wedding! Xx

Just updating.
11.5 syns for week so far.

I'm changing WI day to Mondays to see if its better. I'm hoping that being in the mind frame of being good all week and allowing myself treats at the wkend as a reward is more positive than going over board at the weekend and then trying to pull it back all week.

Monday 9th January

Back to work today after what feels like an eternity off work. I know its a good thing because it means I have had a well needed break but now I really don't want to be here! 2 more work weeks left until the wedding. I'm going to be busy busy and yet have squandered a whole week without making it to the gym once! According to the scales this morning I have lost quite a lot of muscle. Just what I need before my wedding photos! But I still can't be bothered going to the gym. What's wrong with me?!

 

[B's lovely lady]

1 lb off at WI

Yay!!! That's fantastic! I know what you mean about the exercise....since end of September I've really got out of habit of exercising!!! Anyway, my ny resolution was to tone up and exercise 3 times a week.... It's 9th jan and I've exercised once!!! However I've got my new davina DVD and I'm going to try that today and try and get myself into a routine!!!!

Friday 13th January

Ugh! I sneak peaked! I know I shouldn't have and I wish I didn't! My lb loss appears to be back on. It must be lack of exercise. Although I have been rushed off my feet at work this week, you would think that would help.

Ok I know it can't be fat, there is no way I have eaten enough food to gain fat. Must relax. Just stressed! It's just a couple of pounds out of target range. Not the end of the world.
