Day 47 - What are you wearing????

Today is normally my day off but I had to host an MP's visit in Stevenage today. So as well as missing the gym I had to get dressed 'properly' this morning.

I had breakfast first (2 Weetabix with SS milk and strawberries) then upstairs to get dressed at which point I had a bit of a light bulb moment........

I looked at my clothes & realised I'd become 'stretchy woman' - leggings, stretchy skirts, t-shirts etc are predominating on my clothes rail (still no wardrobes - 5 years on!). Although I have some tailored things (generally a better look for me (slim or overweight) I'm not wearing them - they are either too small or too uncomfortable because I've got used to walking around in stretchy materials, baggy tops etc. Colours are still good but style has vanished - over the weekend I'm going to have a sort out & as I drop weight I'm going to rid myself of the stretchy things. I've even stopped wearing jeans because I can't breath in them and I love my jeans - my size 18 skinny jeans are still waiting for me and they are my target by end of August.
Why didn't someone say something I ask myself? And the answer is - they did I just wasn't listening properly!! No compliments have been coming my way & the other day someone asked me if I'd been to the gym - but I hadn't :0)
I've also stopped routinely wearing make-up & I look pale and uninteresting without it so it's 'make more of an effort time' for me from tomorrow - even if it still has to be 'stretchy me' for a while.

After my MP visit (which went very well by the way - I do enjoy promoting pharmacy) I had a coffee (Americano black of course) with some colleagues and then came home to meet Natasha and have my nails done & a pedicure - lovely treat for me!

Not sure why my toes look hairy but they aren't - promise!! Just love the glittery polish - now all I need is for the sun to shine :)

Hands look a bit baggy - Maybe the photo wasn't such a great idea!

We've just had dinner - roast chicken with the skin (can't resist it & a very good use of sins in my opinion!), jacket potato, runner beans (my favourite) and a portobello mushroom. This was followed by fruit salad (honeydew melon, strawberries, grapes & orange - actually all I had left in the fridge before my Tesco order comes tomorrow!) and washed down with some orange squash & water.

Now my family have spread around the house & I'm going to catch up on some TV. I'm also going to think about how I can improve my look without spending any money.

Tesco order is coming between 9am & 11am tomorrow so I'm hoping for a lie in - enjoy your evening xx
