Motivation Bites Back!

Well it's the start of week 9 and I've lost 2 pounds which I'm really pleased about - only another 18 pounds to go. And I feel so happy and excited!

As I mentioned in my last post, I've booked my dress fitting and now, my second hen party is booked for the 15 October so there is plenty to be excited about! I had my first hen party in June because I wanted to go to the races and although I vowed to lose weight in the weeks running up to it, I only lost 4 pounds, so now I know I am lots slimmer and there is still time to lose at least another 10 pounds! I'm on the search for a pretty amazing dress to show off my new figure. And it won't be one that covers me, it will be one that I feel amazing in because I have a lot to be proud of!

But, the real reason I feel excited, and the real reason I have all the motivation in the world again is that my old jeans - well I say old, they've hardly been worn - haven't fitted me for a couple of years, and you know when you keep old clothes cus you think I will slim back into them but you never do....well I HAVE! I tried a couple of my favourite too small jeans yesterday, because the ones I've been wearing a way too big, and they just slid right on, the button fastened with no problem and I have no muffin top. I was ecstatic!

You don't necessarily notice the weight coming off yourself, but when you get back into old clothes, you know you're doing well. I tried a pair of Miss Sixty jeans from six years ago, I think I was being a little too adventurous but I did manage to pull them up my legs...so when I get into them, I know I've hit my target! Boy I can't wait to wear them again!

Now where are my running shoes?!
