Hi All!

Thought I would let you know what I’ve been up to . . . 

On the plus side I went to bravissimo and debenhams, tried on and successfully fitted into a size 14 dress!  I also went into a designer store and fitted into a size 16!  This is BIG for me – the girl who 6 months ago couldn’t buy clothes from anywhere, because nothing fitted the large frame.  I have no pics unfortunately as I have not bought the dresses (yet).

However due to being incredibly stiff after some new pilates exercises our instructor taught us (my sides HURT, but they feel like rocks so its totally worth it :) ) I took a day off the gym to recover, as I should.  The day started off well – big salad, veg juice, fresh pasta, veg and salmon for dinner.  However then I went out with friends had 4 cocktails, a glass of red and a sarnie when I came home – 2300 Kcal total for the day – EEEK!

Don’t know about anyone else’s experience but I normally feel guilty after that.  But then sanity clicks back in and I think – ‘actually, I’ve been working really hard at the gym, I’m really sore and very hungry, maybe my bodies just crying out for energy and rest’.  And actually I do feel no stiffness today – I’m rockin’ it again at the gym today.  And guess what, I haven’t turned back into a balloon overnight!

Take home message – don’t freak out if you go off the rails a few times.  Most of us are on a long road to our ideal weight and there’ll be bumps in the road and hills to traverse on the way. Cut yourself some slack once in a while, and don’t get obsessed with the ‘diet’.

Till next time :)
