DCT an Yowzer, just reading your posts about motivation.
A September wedding, how exciting! A wedding is always good motivation 🙂 it’s my 30th wedding anniversary in September, and yesterday I was going through some clothes I’d had in storage – one of them was my wedding outfit, it’s a cream lace outfit, pencil skirt and a fitted top. Anyway it’s size 12. I held it up and looked at the waist and couldn’t believe I was ever that small! Sadly at the time if you’d asked me how I felt about my body I would have said I thought my tummy, waist and hips were too big! I looked at the label and saw that it was to fit hips 100cm and waist 90cm, so if I could lose another 17cm off of my hips and 26cm off of my waist I could possibly squeeze into it again!! Maybe that could be my goal/motivation, fitting into my wedding outfit again. Not possible by September this year, but definitely doable by September 2022 (which would fit in with my daughters wedding).
And Yowzer – I think your motivation is great, we all should be living our best life, regardless of our age, and it’s easier to do that when you are fit and healthy.
I hope everyone else is doing ok. I’ve now now lost 5kg (11 lb), and 8 1/2cm from bust/waist/hips, the 5:2 (or 4:3) combined with 16:8 (most days) approach appears to be working thankfully.
Cathy, I hope you are ok, you haven’t left my thoughts, such a tragic situation x
