Hello,
Once again sorry for my little absence, I think I just needed the little break. I was feeling mega stressed about various things and I think trying to track what I was eating wasn’t helping because I just felt constantly sick and couldn’t eat anyway so then that was making me ever more stressed, bit of a nasty cycle! So I decided to just take a break. I’ve still been following SW (well apart from the last few days over Easter lol) but more in my head rather than writing it all down.
As I mentioned before, I lost 3lb the week before last and that finally took me into the 9st bracket. I was soooo pleased. Plus the fact that I’m fitting into size 10s again – happy me! I went for my wedding dress fitting last week and it needs taking in by quite a lot so I was mega pleased about that (apart from what it’s going to cost, ha ha). So they’ve now got my dress and I’ve got to go back on 14th May to try it on and it should hopefully fit perfectly. Then I just need to go back on 30th May (day before we fly, eeek!) so they can pack it for me ready to go! I need to hurry up and order something to take it in on the flight actually! No flippin way am I checking it in as baggage, it’s staying with me the WHOLE TIME. The ladies in the dress shop said just a little hand luggage case will do but I’ve heard that they can sometimes get funny with you and try to make you check it in.. but I have looked online and found that Thomson (who we are flying with) actually recommend a company who provide flight boxes for wedding dresses, they are made so that the measurements are well within the airline’s limits for hand luggage so I think I might just go with that. I will check with my sister too as she works for Thomson.
So yeah food wise – I was (I say WAS, lol) still being good but it all went to pot over Easter. I weighed myself last Friday and I’d gained 1.5lb, but as I’d lost 3lb the week before I wasn’t too upset – although it did take me to dead on 10st again, grr! Over the Easter weekend I ate non stop rubbish and probably ate twice my weight in chocolate.. I am actually sick of chocolate! I was determined I’d then be good this week to try and undo some damage but not going great so far. It’s my hen do this weekend so I am kind of having a little break and then come Monday I am going to be brave, get on the scales and see what the damage is and then get back on it. I’ve still been having my hot water and lemon every morning and the day starts well and then I don’t know what happens! I need to get out of the Easter ‘stuff my face’ mindset now and try to limit the damage as much as I can, but equally I’m not going to deprive myself on my hen do. There’s going to be a LOT of drinking involved (lol) and no doubt some naughty food too, especially the next day ha ha. We are off to Birmingham and staying overnight, my friends have planned it so I have no idea what’s going on – all I know is I have to be at the train station at 12:00 midday on Saturday! I’m excited and also very scared – eeek. I have a feeling there’ll be something embarrassing like a stripper lol. Oh and we are dressing as sailors for the night time (my wedding is nautical themed so I thought it fit quite well lol). I’m so glad I’ve lost the weight I have because I was dreading looking chubby in my outfit, thankfully I am now quite happy with the size I am! I have two options, one is a playsuit/shorts style one and one is a dress, they both look nice but the dress is slightly more flattering so I think I’ll probably go for that one.
So anyway that’s my update, bit of a long waffle there, hope you are all ok. Rosie hope the wedding planning is going OK (and I know I still need to look at the legal costs etc for you, I’m so sorry, please give me a nudge later if I forget again), Pebbles hope everything is going well with you? And littlemissnaughty I hope you’ve had a fab hol, I’m looking forward to reading your updates and nosing at your pics! I am going to sit and chill out tonight once the kids are in bed and catch up on all your diaries xxx
that's every day of the bank holiday weekend too. I'm not happy!! Xx
