Hi everyone.
Today marks only 3 weeks since I started my journey and already I am majorly reaping the benefits! I just wanted to share a few small things.
1. I had a gorgeous dress I wore to my hen night last October which I remember feeling pretty good in. At that point I still wasn't where I want to be but I was certainly slimmer and happier than recently. 3 weeks ago I tried on the dress and was several inches away from being able to zip it up. I went and bought a new dress yesterday in a bigger size for an engagement party next weekend however this morning when I tried on the other dress just for the hell of it... it now zips up!! It's still a little tight but hey, one step at a time.
2. My skin is positively glowing and no longer has dry patches. Also on my body all the little scratches and blemishes I had (from having 2 playful kittens) have healed up very quickly whereas before I would have the scratches for weeks and weeks.
3. I have a LOT more energy
4. My husband took a pic of me one my first day wearing my exercise bra and shorts and I was stunned to see a big fat roll I didnt know was there on my back just under my bra. This has now almost gone!
Finally... I am currently a UK size 14 and would love to get to a 10, so as motivation for myself I have ordered a few size 10 holiday outfits which I am determined I will fit into when we go on holiday in the summer. Fitting into the dress has spurred me on to think I can make this a reality if I just keep at it
