Where does time go?!

I've not been on for such a long time because I've been so busy with work and the final stages of the wedding planning...as I write this now I'm on the train home from work.

Time is flying by and often the day is over before I've got round to everything I need to do! I went for my dress fitting a little over 2 weeks ago and I'm very happy to say that it needs taking in by around 4 inches which is fantastic!! And when it was all pinned into place and I could see the dress fitting properly I felt fantastic!! I really could see that all the hard work had paid off!! I have to go back on Friday for my final fitting.

I also went to my brothers 21st birthday party on Saturday night and EVERYONE commented on how well I looked which felt amazing!!

Since my fitting I knew I coudn't lose too much between then and the wedding so I've slowed it down and decided to do weight training so I could tone up instead. I've been losing a poud a week but haven't been doing any where near as much exercise as I should have!! I've gone from exercising everyday to about twice a week.

I have another 9 pounds to lose to reach my target and I really need to tone up! So after the wedding I need to get back on it and get the motivation back ready for Australia!!

9 days and counting :)

What size am I?!

I read an article the other day which said you are never the same size in your favourite places to shop. Sometimes there can be a four inch difference...I can completely relate to this.

Last week I tried a couple of winter coats on in Miss Selfridge and it was a size 10 I needed. Today I tried a couple of dresses on in Warehouse and I needed a size 14. I tried a dress on in Dorothy Perkins and a 14 was too big but a size 12 was too small!! What's going on?

I was so deflated and disappointed the size 12 wouldn't fit! It was the perfect dress for my hen party - I found the whole outfit, shoes accessories and all and I so wanted it to fit! Saying that though I could zip it up so I'm not far off it fitting. It just made my boobs look a bit flat and it was a little tight around my tummy.

So I am determined to get in it! If I can lose a couple of inches it will be perfect and I only have 1 week left to my dress fitting anyway so it's the final push.

So with that in mind I'm going on a detox...I'm sticking to soup, fruit, vegetables and water. I'm going to try it out for three days and I'm going to exercise my butt off.

In 10 days I'm going to buy that dress in a size 12 and it will zip right up and fit me perfectly! :)

I'll keep you posted!
