I wasn't going to go to the gym today cos i did a 9k run yesterday but Ash text and asked if i wanted to go..........'Oh ok, if you insist'
I know i should have rested today but i just had to go, i couldn't let her gone on her lonesome
I've had a lovely day today. No work for me today
I got up early and went into Barnstaple, i had an appointment at the hospital for my pre-op stuff at 11.45 so i thought 'oh, i could go and try on some clothes' I use to hate shopping, now i just love trying clothes on
I did get Mark a few little bits for christmas but yes, i did get myself some clothes. I got a lovely long jumper for £5 and a top for £5 too. I found this pretty dress, really funky colours (i seem to be wearing black all the time) it looked lovely on other than the armpit bulgy bits!!! BUT i found this adorable little short cardi that goes totally perfect with it
That never happens to me, i never find somethng that goes perfectly. I'll get Jack to take a photo tomorrow. I tried on lots and lots of clothes, all size 12 and everything fitted
It is so weird!!!!!
I get to go proper shopping with my christmas money in the sales after christmas. Can't bloody wait, i'm gonna go with Bec's, there is no way i am gonna do that with Mark!!!
I went into the Ann Summers shop to get an underwear set and i didn't like the thong that went with it on me so i asked if they had matching briefs instead and the young girl (who was skinny and pretty) asked what size and i said a 12 but i kinda said it in a sheepish odd way which made her look at me funny so i said that i had lost lots of weight and i found it weird not asking for a size 20. She then told me that she use to be a size 18-20 and was now a size 8, she had lost over 5 stone!!!! It was lovely chatting to her, she said you get use to the different size buying thing, she still sees herself as fat but has come to accept that. She was so complimentry about how 'stunning' i looked too. I left that shop with my sexy underwear and a huge smile on my face
I then bumped into Rachael, Robs girlfriend!!!!! She got back from Thailand yesterday and was there doing her christmas shopping. I haven't seen her since April and she very nearly walked straight past me!!!! She was gushing about how amazing i looked and she said i looked 10 years younger
She did say that she didn't think i needed to lose any more weight but, whatever, i'll lose what i want to and just not tell people.
It was so nice to see her, Rob is down on wednesday. I think they are gonna come to us on boxing day, we will probably go for a walk along the beach or something. I am gonna go for a run boxing day morning too
Came home and carried on making sweets, did more coconut ice and honeycomb today, oh and did some hazelnut chocolates. I didn't eat all my cals today because of more 'sampling' while making sweets, i really don't know what it would have been so i just stuck to about my allowance.
Cate Heya cupcake
The app is called 'micoach' it is great, it shows you all sorts of stuff, really breaks down your run, i was well impressed with it
I love that you thought of me when you had a fit of the giggles
I love giggles and i love it when you laugh so much your face hurts and you cry. I am so lucky that my life does give me a lot to laugh about. Giggles Rock!!
Lucy Aww thank you sweetie. I am blown away with 50lb!!! I was so obsessed with what i needed to lose still that i didn't even notice that i was only 1lb away from it until Ruthie pointed it out!!! It is a huge acheievement and i really need to make sure i remember that.
'You'll be finishing the year slimmer and fitter and healthier than any other year of your life' I actually stopped and stared at that statement for so long, i had never thought about it like that but it is so so true. I have (we have) made such massive changes for the better. Again i really need to remember that. I hope you are right, i would love to able to get thru christmas and crack on thru to a weight i am happy with and then actually maintain it........That is where i am soooooooo gonna need help lol.
Mmmmm your cooking sounds amazing, yum yum. I love making the sweets we do for friends and family and they really love getting them. They always ask if we are making them each year and are always so excited when we are
Joh Aww sweetie, you always say the best things. You rock!!!! Ooooohh, love the belly pic.....How big are you!!!!! Loving it. You even have the sticky out bum arch thing that happens when you're pregnant. You look freaking radiant sweetie. Love and hugs Xxx
How's that for silly? That's the best I could do with our smileys. I will do a can-can burlesque style celebratory dance, with waving arms or maybe even a belly dance, because that's one especially for women! I'm in Xmas mode too now sweetie. Isn't it great. Let's try hanging on to this feeling for the whole year
