Caterers visit is complete! We spent an hour with our chef yesterday and I'm feeling sooo positive and excited by what we came up with! I now know all the timings, the exact menu we're having, what drinks we're giving ppl etc. and it all suddenly seems so real... AT LAST!!!
Our big day will be 8 months away on the 21st and I'm so excited!! My dress (which is already reserved and paid for) measurements are being taken in 2 weeks time and I'm so pleased that I have managed to lose the weight I'd hoped to in time for the measurements!!
You may recall that I wanted to get to BMI 25.0 and am hoping that I will reach that in the next week (if I haven't at my WI tomorrow). Then I will maybe have another week to give me another little loss beforehand.
The next few weeks I intend to use the Wii fit every day to tone up more, to try and get the measurements as accurate as possible by being the closest shape and size I'm likely to be on the day.
I have been really working hard on CD the last 3 weeks, and although it seems that it has taken me all this time to recoup my Christmas gain, actually I can see a big difference in my body, and I can't help but think that my pre-Christmas weight was due to water loss and not fat, whereas now it's the fat that's gone!
I have started to realise that the scales are only useful in part, and I am at peace now with my "weight" - it's now my shape and size that I perceive needs a little work! And that will come with exercise, so I'm glad I'm working up the CD plans at the moment as I don't currently have the energy to exercise. But in a few weeks I'll be in Maintenance and exercising the fat off!!!
Oh yep, and my engagement ring is now THREE sizes too big, but as it is faulty and I've been waiting for the shop to source me a new one to replace it, I can get a new one in the right size (phew!!). My current one is a 0.3ct. princess cut solitaire set in platinum, and my new one is a 1ct. 3-stone brilliant cut platinum ring... it's so much more sparkly than mine (obviously 3x the diamond weight makes a difference!) and it's tiny!! I get to pick it up in a couple of weeks
it will be so nice to not have to wear it on my middle finger anymore!
