I’ve been pretty ill this last week – might even had had flu but have some antibiotics now so hopefully I’m well on the mend.
No. 8
I had a little play about with make up for Halloween and the outfit will probably include No. 33 too. I’m scared I look a bit silly but hopefully when I have my dress finished I will feel better about it – I am supposed to look a bit silly right?
No. 29
I have lost 4lbs (as of last Friday) so am on track though the sickness has probably helped. I am trying to be super good this week to get another pound or two off by this Friday.
No. 45
I tried Spicy Chicken Noodle Soup from Yoko and it was quite the success! I’m going to attempt my own version this evening hopefully. Yums.
No. 77
We’re planning to take our niece and nephew to the Zoo just before Christmas to meet Santa. We’ve never taken them anywhere before or been “in charge” of them so it’s quite exciting! I will hopefully get our places booked in the next couple of days. Ho ho ho…
No. 98
I had my second ever smear test on Friday and will hopefully get the results in the next couple of weeks.
No. 99
I sold a blouse, two dresses and pair of unworn shoes (No. 41 and see photo below) on Ebay which I was really pleased about (especially as 2 of the items sold for more than I paid for them!!). I also sold some tickets on Gumtree so I guess they don’t count – I should have putting “losing Gumtree virginity” on my list!)

I’ve had a bit of a hard week. I’m feeling a bit run down and my cold is back worse than ever but hopefully this week will be better. I’ve managed to get a few bits done for this though.
No. 8
My halo has arrived and I have new black boots that I will probably wear with the outfit too. I have a few little threads and stuff to trim and then hopefully I will be set to um… spread my wings!
No. 29
I weighed myself on Friday morning and had lost 2lbs which I am quite pleased about. Keeping it going is going to be the toughest part so fingers crossed there will be another 2 off by this Friday.
No. 33
I wore false eyelashes on Saturday with my fringe sort of swept to the side. They take some getting used to but as long as they don’t fall off, I’m happy.
No. 40
I really want these tights Lily is wearing http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-1219198/Lily-Allen-reveals-racy-suspenders-knees-boyfriend.html“>but don’t know where to get them. I can find the Henry Holland ones easily enough but I don’t like them as much… the search continues!
No. 41
I wore my silver round toe shoes out on Saturday night which I hadn’t worn out before. So one pair down, about 30 million to go!
No. 88
I tried my hand at making a coffee cake last week and we had a visitor called unannounced who tried some, I guess it doesn’t really count but here’s a photo anyway
No. 92
I sent the card to my friend last week and sent my first postcrossing card today
Day 3

There’s nothing like addressing a couple of potentially life changing tasks for day 3 is there?
No. 29
I have always had a weight “problem”. For as long as I can remember I’ve had issues with my weight, feeling chubby and fat – even at primary school and I find this really sad. If one day I have children I don’t want to pass my hang ups onto them so would really like to be comfortable with my image. I was 9 stone something when I met my husband. My weight has yo yoed over the years and I was creeping up to almost 13 stone at one stage. I think in all honesty I am actually quite happy with how I am just now, even half a stone lighter would be nice. Overall I would like to tone up more and be more of a 10/12 than 12/14/sometimes 16. Ideally I would like to get to 9 stone something, maybe just one last time.
This would get me about half a stone under my wedding weight and just over a stone under my current weight. I’ve hit a bit of a barrier loss wise following losing just over a stone in the earlier half of this year but as this was caused mainly by stress and anxiety I’m hoping this last stone or so can be lost by other means!
I’ve put on 3lbs or 4lbs on holiday so my mini target would be to lose a couple of pounds to get into 10 stone…something by say, Monday 21st September. In the run up to my holiday I shifted a couple of pounds using the Wii and the EA Sports Active 30 day challenge so think it’s probably time I dusted it off again [groan].
No. 54
There are open days related to this tomorrow and the next day (I think – must check the website!) and I am intending going along tomorrow afternoon to see if it is something I definitely want to apply for. I’m feeling a bit apprehensive already but I think it’s time I stopped thinking about it and actually did something towards making my decision about it either way. Wish me luck!!
