Someone (WAWA28) suggested asos.com in a clothes-related thread on the +5 stone to lose board. What an absolute diamond she is! I found a gorgeous floral print maxi dress with wide straps, and a flint-grey fluffy cardi to wear over the top for some warmth and to cover my arms. Having a bit of a panic about it now, though. The dress is a size 20, there's six weeks and two days to go and I am still a 22 on the bottom half. I've been a 22 on the bottom half for about three weeks, now, though, so fingers crossed...
Tomorrow I am going to start running again. Oh yes I am. (Yes you are, Michelle, you are going to get off your BTM in the morning and get out there and run for ten minutes. You know you want to, really. Day One of Run Away From Fat in Ninety Days. Again.) At least I can walk to a place where I can't be seen sweating and puffing from the road, and hopefully there won't be too many other people wandering around out there to laugh at me.
That should help the weight to shift, I hope, and tone me up. It worked pretty quickly last time around, anyway. I have to get back on track with the sit ups and crunches, too. My tummy is getting smaller, but I am still quite flabby around the middle and my bum and thighs need a lot of toning up yet. Mustn't forget I still have six stone to lose to get to target! I actually found myself thinking last night that maybe I would aim for 11 stone and not 11 and a half so that I can say I've lost ten stone...I'll see how I feel when I get to about 12 and a half stone, though!
I can say that, this time. When, not if. I will do it. I love my OH so much, he is so supportive. Never queries what I'm putting in my mouth, no complaints about the meals I dish up (although they're much the same as before, just smaller quantities and more veggies.) He's always telling me how proud he is of me and telling me how much better I look and how much happier I seem in myself. I'm actually enjoying this journey for the first time ever!
