Frump to Fab - Sizzling Summer Solstice to Awesome Autumn Equinox

WelshWoofer

Madrabbit - good to see you back and in such a positive frame of mind.

Faithless - get you and your 4lb loss! Well done!:T

LL - good to hear your party went well - hope you have a good afternoon with your OH.

Felt a bit moochy this morning - think I'm missing the dog and the routine he gives me. So had a bath, got my trainers on and walked to the shops at an almost jogging pace - got some strange looks for the "powerwalking" but it felt good and I got a good 40 mins of heart pumping exercise. Usually it takes 30 mins to walk there, this time it took about 19-20 mins so the pace must have been quite fast. I probably looked like a demented emu:rotfl:

Going to do a bit of schoolwork and then go for a run later, have to keep myself occupied or I eat rubbish! No falling back into bad habits following my mini-blow out yesterday:p

Alas I have not done any fabbing, and really missed not having my hair done, or the suntanning booth last week. Must make time this week. I also need a hair cut now. Its growing so fast.
My nails are all a total mess. I havent helped it by cleaning out the deepfat fryer. Scrubbing with a wirewool pad thingy. So my hands are going to need some attention tonight. Dont ask me why I didnt put any gloves on. It would be logical, but I always forget!

I have an easy tea, meatballs and pasta for DGD, and some carbonara for me. Then perhaps I will have a soak in the bath later if I have any energy. Its been a full on day here.
I have loads of potions and lotions around, but I dont tend to use them. How bad is that.
Maybe I will get it right one day.
Hope the fabbing is going better for the rest of you.
I doubt I will see any difference in my tummy, as I keep forgetting to do my exercises all the time.! I will just have to go to the beach with a spare tyre. (Least I only have one!).

Just a quick one to report all necessary fabbing done before the holiday tomorrow - defuzzed, scrubbed, nails filed, toe nails painted, all packed and ready to go.

I'll probably have a quick check in with you if I'm online at any point but, if not, have a great week and think of me being pampered in a spa in the sun:rotfl: (and probably getting fat again, although I plan to be semi-good).
No slacking whilst I'm away ladies!;) Bon voyage! See you on the weekend.

Welshwoofer I hope you have a great holiday. Its sounds like you have earned the bikini figure.

Lessonlearned i tried horse riding again for the first time in about 12 years this summer (20 years since I have ridden regularly). I stuck at walk and trot and absolutely loved it. I have a back problem and my back was sore the next few days. Sadly there is a real lack of riding stables where I live. I would love to have a weekly lesson - though maybe just half an hour at first.

I have been busy doing housework and packing today. Did a pedicure and manicure. I had a depressing time trying on clothes as I have out on a fair bit of weight over the last couple of years. I am engaged and haven't set a wedding date yet, but really want to be fab by then. Hoping you will all spur me on

Mooloo I had a big sort of potions and lotions yesterday. I seem to have loads, but now have them in a rotational order and have picked out ones to use just now.

I am very short of make up. I bought 2 nail varnishes today and will need to build up gradually. I am badly in need of inspiration.

Madrabbitgirl I have had a low year too due to job and health issues. Joining this thread is part of my aim to enjoy things a bit more, do 'fun' things, look after myself and have a bit of me time. I need to work hard on weightloss though.

So I am giving fasting a go. Except I am not doing the full two days layout, I am fasting for 16 hours, going from 8pm at night to midday. Every day. I just think for me that is more doable........I gguess time will tell. So am sitting here drinking a black tea as I am not sure I can drink black coffee :rotfl: about to go and walk the hound in a moment. Not loads of fabbing going on. Exercise is minimal with the kids being at home. They've really thrown my routine out of whack and it's made me feel all over the shop
Felt exhausted last night, too many late nights over the weekend so went to bed at 10pm and didn't sleep too bad. Gonna do the same for rest of week and save late nights for weekends maybe.

Fabbing that needs doing is nails need a file and a buff. Paint my toe nails and skin feels really oily lately so OCM tonight too.

Hugs all round, have a great day everyone x

Bitsy Beans what is OCM?
