Never give up on something you
really want. It’s difficult to wait, but more difficult to regret. Bev Longsden.
Would have loved a loss
yesterday, but I got a stayed the same, I deserved it, I should have carried on
tracking over the bank holiday weekend instead of sticking my head in the sand
and pretending I didn’t care!
Well I had my own little claim to
fame yesterday, was on the radio, BBC WM, http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p0021kmd/broadcasts/2012/05 teamed up with Debenhams to
launch The Ultimate Weight Loss Wardrobe, designed to empower slimmers all over
the UK to embrace the clothes shopping experience, whatever their shape, size
or how confident they feel.
Shopping is rarely fun when you
have weight to lose and even as your losing it, it still has its problems,
sizes vary so much, I range from a 10-16! What’s that all about, it can be soul
destroying when you’re looking for an outfit for an event and you can’t find
anything to look or fit right. Nightmare,
that’s why I used to live in black, elasticated waist trousers, now I don’t own
trousers, I have a few pairs of jeans but most of the time I wear skirts and
dresses and I love them, I can’t believe I’m saying this but I love the
girly-ness and feminine feel of a dress.
20 years ago you would have had to fight me to the floor to get me in a
dress, actually even 8 years ago, so yes I have most definitely changed not
just in shape but in confidence too.
I now wear clothes I like and
enjoy wearing not clothes I think people will ignore me and leave me alone if I
wear. I’m happy to be stared at when I’m
out if I like what I’m wearing, I really don’t care if others don’t because I
bought it for me and I follow my own fashion.
As I said on the radio “we all want to rock our look”, and I have my own
image, I don’t need someone else’s.
I think it’s really important to
realise a number on a label doesn’t define you any more than a number on a set
of scales. We’re all gorgeous and the
labels can be cut out, as long as you look and feel good in what you’re wearing
who cares what size they are!
So because I was waiting to talk
on the radio, I missed my run and by the time it was done and I’d caught up on
my paperwork it was too late, so yesterday afternoon I spent half hour putting
together my first vision board, it turned out to be a ‘MOVE MORE’ one, which
wasn’t how I’d started it, it just ending up going in that direction. It’s now stuck on my office door, this is it;
It also motivated me to go
running after I’d finished work, last night at 8.15pm! Check me out, I’m usually getting ready for
bed then! I also run further in the 30
minutes than I have before so maybe that time suits me, the only downside was I
didn’t go to bed till 10.30 because I needed to relax first, so not a time I’d
run on a weekday very often. Although I’m
not tired this morning so it’s not too bad.
On that note, I’ll go take the
dog for a walk, my pedometer clocked up 7pp by the end of the day yesterday and
that was without the 6pp I earned from my run.
I finished the day on 26pp, so that’s 1 day down, 6 to go in pursuit of
the perfect week and a weight loss!
