    You're not buying new clothes, you're investing in a new improved appearance. Well done on all the progress. Take care

    Cal, I don't think I had a chance to say WELL DONE! So exciting to hear that you're off on a grand adventure!

    Life sounds super busy right now, I'm in awe of all your good work on the fitness front in amongst all the other stuff happening! :T

    Congrats with the wedding as well, hope you have a wonderful day xx

    Thanks Pearla :) It will be an adventure - eep! Super busy - yes! Not going to lie, fitness is hard to keep up when I'm not leaving uni until around 7pm after a long day and I just want to go home and sleep... but I've not missed a session yet.

    Wedding is on Wednesday... what?! Not 100% organised, need to get music onto a playlist for ceremony, get hair dye, practice make-up, tidy and clean whole house for sister/brother coming over _pale_

    _______________________________

    Tomorrow - uni to work on assignment due in on Monday, nearly there! Report to write up. Labs due for Monday, need to complete those.
    Monday - hand in last pieces of assigned work, make sure I'm checked off on everything. Try to catch lecturer for bug in code.
    Tuesday - clean. Clean EVERYTHING! While trying not to break nails.... Hair cut and lots of pampering :)
    Wednesday - get married! Just small ceremony in registry office with me, OH, brother and sister. Home to get changed, meal out after. May go over on calories that day :p -30 something pounds right now, due to weigh in on Monday.

    Off to do the money shuffle and do my monthly OP. Then bed :) I will probably be back on next around Wednesday/Thursday, when revision for exams then starts. Eep!

    Hope everyone is well :)

    Cal xx

    I hope you have a beautiful wedding day Cal. It sounds similar to mine - we got married in a boutique hotel in Rye and there were just us and our 2 witnesses. It was fabulous and I wouldn't have changed a thing.


    Best wishes

    Today's the day! Sitting having breakfast, just out the shower, need to hair/makeup/dress and then it'll be time! Excited but nervous. Can't imagine what I'd feel like if it was a wedding with loads of guests!

    Thanks for all the lovely posts

    Cal xx
