Jeans??? What are they? I've been wearing leggings for ever! I got about a hundred pairs! Leggings and baggy tops, hate my wardrobe! I put a pair of trousers on the other day, omg, my waist has grown, they were almost cutting me, so tight! My tummy is my biggest problem.
Good for you though you'll be in those crop size 12 in no time x

Keep going & they'll be falling off you before you know it! I may have been a bit premature as every time I sit down they are gaping at the back (don't panic I'm wearing a long cardi but it's still drafty!!!!)

Day 18 today - days are starting to tally up quite nicely!

Ok day today - off to visit a friend in her new house - she used to do Cambridge so I may well confess to her - at least gives me someone to talk about it to if I do.

Plus having nails done - part of my job requirement - a nice part of it. Then will have to drive my daughter 120 miles to her county cricket training - so I am secretly praying for rain today!!

I have 3 x 1 hours shows coming up and I still don't know what products I will be doing which is slightly stressing me out. Doesn't give me much time to plan, practise or shop for them but hey ho I am trying to remain chilled out! You never know they might tell me today......

Haven't had my nails done in forever - although i find CD makes my nails nice and strong anyway!! Can't ever have them too long as i type with the tips of my fingers rather than the pads so it just bloody hurts lol. Hope you get news of your products soon and it rains for you x

Did you have acrylics? My nails are awful at moment, stopped having acrylics at Xmas, but nail varnish chips in no time. Might try shellac x

yes I have acrylics as need them to be hardwearing for work otherwise I would have shellac as that always looks lovely but itsnt quite so hardy. I have to have them for work and always say that if I didnt I wouldnt have them done but I think after all this time would be hard to go back to my naturals - which never grew and split the whole time - I am so used to looking down and seeing nice nails! I have french done most of the time as I cant have painted but they still look so much nicer than my own.

What are shellacs? I so don't feel like a girlie right now lol. X

they are another kind of false nail - but not so bad for your nails as acrylics. They let your nails grow and the nail "breathes" through and can easily be peeled off - look lovely though! whereas acrylics are glued onto the nail and are rock solid - not great for your real nails as it weakens them - but look nice and for me last longer. Probably better answers are available but hopefully you get what I mean!

Shellac is gel, bit like coloured nail varnish that sets under a uv lamp.
They look good and better for you nails. I don't have them either as I had bio nails before, (RK, bio are same as shellac) but only lasted a week. I love dark colours on mine x

I agree dark colours look great with it as they tend to be shorter. I cant have dark nails as viewers have complained in past (not about mine) that it is unhygienic in kitchen - even though not serving what we are cooking so we have to have light colour or french!!

So day 17 - mostly done! Been a bit more productive today than yesterday - even tackled daughters bedroom which is really taking my life into my hands! Just like this time last week I can't wait to be into the next week - seems middle of the week I get impatient to be further along.

Have been helping a friend who recently had an op - ferrying her around etc & she wants to take me for lunch as a thank you. So she asked today if we could put a date in - so I said could we put it off a bit as I am in the zone with being good & don't want to wreck it by going out to lunch - not sure she quite understood (she is size 8-10 & never done the diet thing at all) but just asked how long that might be!! But she was fine with me saying I would prefer to have a nice lunch rather than a "diety" kind of lunch. Am trying to prolong having to eat as long as poss - first social thing where I will have to eat is may 18th.

So all in all day 17 going ok.

Know how j feel I'm trying to out off social occasions untill after my holiday in June
