FML...

Like forreal.

The world/my body/God/alcohol hates me.

I gained 6lbs.

SIX POUNDS. WTF I DON'T EVEN?!?!?!!?!?!

My inches haven't changed much though, which is good. I've gained 0.5 inch on my waist, haven't checked my boobs, and my hips are the same.

I was definitely hoping to be smaller though. Why can't I be one of those people who drops loads of weight from stress before they get married? I just hang onto it!

It's also that wonderful time of the month, so I feel all bloated (that could be where that 1/2 inch is from). I hope the weight gain is just water retention or something. I don't even know if you can actually have 6lbs of water retention, but we'll just go with that for now.

I'm still 2 inches too big to fit in my wedding dress around my waist.. if I suck the old belly in then I'll fit. But I'm sure that won't work too well for the whole day.

I did buy a pair of those 'suck your flab in' granny panties, so if all else fails hopefully those will do the trick??

My dress fitting is in two hours. HELP MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE OH GOD.

Stress stress stress.

It needs to look perfect.

I'll need a wider back panel for sure, methinks.

In other news, I had a lot of fun at my hen party last weekend. I didn't take any photos, but others did, so whenever they get put up I'll put some on here.

Two weeks till the wedding. AHHHH I'M GETTING MARRIED IN TWO WEEKS!

Anyway, I will update after the dress fitting. Fingers crossed that I actually fit into it and it looks good this time.

Blarghghhhghhhhhh...

Apologies for the lack of updates. I haven't been well this week and I'm tired. I also haven't been anywhere close to 100% on my diet (FAIL!)

It's my hen party on Saturday so there will be drinks and food at some point. Sunday will be hangover day so I'll probably eat then too. I have my dress fitting on the 20th. My hips are 2 inches smaller than the dress, so that's fine. My waist is 2 inches bigger and my boobies are 1 inch bigger. 1 week to lose that? Can I do it? I have nooooo idea.

So, plan of attack from Monday is gym once (or twice) a day until Saturday. Nothing too crazy so I pass out, just light cardio and weights. Stick to the shakes (I should really count up and see if I need to order more). Gahh only 5 days to lose 3 important inches!

Oh well, I can only try.

Weigh-in #3...

Weigh-in #3 result: -2lbs
Total time on diet: 21 days

Total loss: 9lbs (4.08kg)
Average daily loss: 0.43lbs (0.195kg)

Total loss from HW: 48lbs (3 stone 6lbs, 21.77kg)

Kinda disappointed with the result this week. Although Friday to Monday I didn't stick to any kind of diet. Friday I drank a lot too (yay for empty calories!) I actually weighed myself when I got home on Sunday and I'd gained about 10lbs (yeah, I dunno how I can gain 10lbs in 2 days but whateverrr!). So taking that into consideration I guess it's ok.

I had a doctors appointment yesterday and he took my height and weight - he seemed pretty impressed with my overall weight loss and said 'keep doing what you're doing, it's obviously working!' 

That made me pretty happy.

I'm tired and grumpy and sore and I pretty much just want to eat toast. Weekends are the hardest part.

At least I get to take my inches again next week - hoping there will be a loss there. I'll try to get to the gym too, but I make no promises on that count!

Weigh-in #2...

Weigh-in #2 result: -0lbs

Total loss: 7lbs
Average daily loss: 0.5lbs (0.227kg)

Total loss from HW: 46lbs (3 stone 4lbs, 20.9kg)

Okay, I am fairly disappointed with that result. I didn't think I'd stay exactly the same. WHAT THE HELL?!
I need to keep positive though, and after this weekend off get back into the swing of it.
On the upside, even though the scale hasn't moved, the inches have, which means I have lost something somewhere.

No, I haven't died...

I've just been super super busy.

I had an unplanned break from the diet (ahhh failure!!)...so my weight has stayed the same for my last two weigh-ins at home which I didn't post on here. I have lost inches though, so there will be an update on that with 'official' weigh-in #2 on Friday.

I got ill with a stupid cold which didn't go away for about two weeks and Richard arrived so I just didn't really stick to it very well.

I've been back on it this week (although that's only been since monday). My last full day will be Thursday because I have a PLANNED break. We're going away this weekend for my grandma's birthday, so I can't very well bring shakes to a hotel. I'm just not that hardcore.

The diet will resume after though, never fear. The only other break I have is the weekend of my hen party (because no food+alcohol is probably not the greatest idea).

I also went to the gym Monday evening and Tuesday evening. I think I've left it too late to go to spinning class today. It's 6.55am and I'm still sitting in a towel. Spinning starts at 7.30am. Whoooooooooops. Oh well, at least there's Thursday evening.

At least I worked out twice, right?? 

I won't be able to go tonight because I'm making my grandma a cake for her birthday. It's going to be epic. It'll be a rainbow coloured cake (6 freaking layers) with a princess castle made of brownies on top. Please note I've never actually made a cake like this before, or even baked anything in about 3 years. It should get interesting. Even if it's horribly ugly I'm sure I will still take a picture to show to internet land.

Not really much else to report, aside from the fact that I AM HUNGRIES.

Hopefully I'll lose a decent number this week or I'll be angry, considering I started exercising again too. Oh well, only another 2 days till the weigh-in. COME ON WII FIT, BE GOOD TO ME!
