Not good to confess so much badness at the start of a new thread so I'll save that for next week Blush

very Hepburn

FjorgynAndHotWater · 04/05/2011 16:39

Those are all beautiful, I especially like the first Phase Eight one, and this one too but they are just too expensive Sad I bet I end up wearing my purple flower dress which I bought for hippy's wedding last year but didn't wear cos it was too cold, even though I ended up egg-rolling in it Grin

FjorgynAndHotWater · 04/05/2011 18:27

DH and DD both hate the maxi dress Sad but they like the tea dress and it looks OK with jeans so might keep it after all. Off to the local outlet village on Monday so fingers crossed there is something amazing there or will be bankrupting myself at phase eight...

how about ebay?? there might be one of those on ebay?

FjorgynAndHotWater · 05/05/2011 09:42

You guys are a bad influence on me! BHS dresses going back (phew, am not so old after all...) Have just ordered this dotty p one and going into debenhams at lunchtime to see if they have any of this red one in my size. Then I will just need red shoes and cardi and pink shoes and cardi and I'll be ready. It'd better not be bloody raining Grin

luckoftheirish · 05/05/2011 10:44

Fjorny,clicked on the dot p one and thought ooooh nice and then clicked on the red on and thought WOW!!!! You will look amazing in either of those Smile.. when is your wedding??

My school run got halted by dd1 wee wee issue Hmm.. so i have done shred level 1 with weights {dvd working again} and my cardio dvd..

My body is really achy from all this exercise, i am being v v good with my food but the scales are going up instead of down... going to drink even more water today in the hope that some will happen overnight Hmm

CrispyTheCrisp · 05/05/2011 10:57

I love both of those dresses fjorn. I have just tried to find my pink shoes and handbag and they are missing. I now just need to figure out who i leant them to Hmm

Have done school run combined with an 8k run. I was very pleased that i was never breathless at all, but my knee was giving me a bit of jip. I just hope it holds out ok for tomorrow.

LOL at your intermittent Shred DVD Loti Grin. Well done on the exercise - just remember that it takes about a week for food/exercise changes to kick in. I am expecting a gain this week as last week was SO poor on the exercise and food front. We will all be fine next week if we keep it up fingers crossed

Good luck with dress hunting today Fjorny

FjorgynAndHotWater · 05/05/2011 14:38

They didn't have the red dress in my size, but not too disappointed as it wasn't quite as nice a shade of red as it looked in the photo. I have bought £100 worth of stuff from Dotty P for £80 Grin(20% discount code dpvc20 valid today if anyone fancies some more shopping too!) and did manage to get a shrug cardi which exactly matches my purple dress so am v chuffed about that too Smile loti wedding is two weeks on saturday, eek!

loti glad you managed a shred but you should have gone straight to level 3 to see what all the fuss is about [evil]Grin Hope DD's wee thing was a one-off.

crispy 8 miles Shock remind me again what your triathlon entails you crazy fool Grin

Scales showed a slight improvement this morning and been good so far today but think it will be next week before any real inroad is made into the Easter excess. I seem to put all the weight on round my middle these days Hmm suppose I should do sit ups...

OP posts:
FjorgynAndHotWater · 05/05/2011 14:40

Also saw some of the phase eight dresses and they were surprisingly not as nice as in their photos. Credit card breathes a sigh of relief Grin

OP posts:
CrispyTheCrisp · 05/05/2011 15:21

Yay for Dotty P's Fjorn. Any good wedding things amongst your purchases?

BTW it was km not miles so not quite so impressive! Raining here so school pickup in the car

Triathlon is 2.5k run, 10k bike and 400m swim. I am hoping to do it in under 40 minutes........

FjorgynAndHotWater · 05/05/2011 15:51

Oh, 8 km... piece of piss then Grin

I reckon it would take me 16 mins to do the biking, 16 mins to do the swimming and 16 hours quite a while to do the running. Good luck for tomorrow, what time does it kick off so we can cheer you on?

I reckon that pink dress might do, (got a nice pink cardi too which probably won't match...) but if not am veering towards my purple dress. Have you remembered what you did with your pink shoes and handbag?

OP posts:
CrispyTheCrisp · 05/05/2011 15:58

Not a scooby Fjorn re dress/bag Confused

Kick off 10am

FjorgynAndHotWater · 05/05/2011 15:59

Not that that was a hint I want to borrow them by the way Grin

CrispyTheCrisp · 05/05/2011 21:48

Oh no Bibi, so sorry to hear that it has been majorly rough Sad. I really hope tomorrow and all the other tomorrows are easier for you. {{hugs}}

I have attempted to hit a ball played tennis tonight. Knee still giving me jip so fingers x'd for tomorrow. I will be applying ibuprofen gel tonight and be taking a hot water bottle to bed.

Good luck to all those weighing in tomorrow

FjorgynAndHotWater · 05/05/2011 22:08

FjorgynAndHotWater · 05/05/2011 22:15

Only managed 10 miles too (anyone see a pattern emerging...?) so 35/300 but at least have 3x proper exersazzes for the first time in a month, and have had two big walks round Leeds at lunchtime today and yesterday.

Good luck for tomorrow crispy!

OP posts:
CrispyTheCrisp · 05/05/2011 22:19

Thanks fjorn and well done on the 10 miles - better than nowt Grin

CrispyTheCrisp · 06/05/2011 07:48

FjorgynAndHotWater · 06/05/2011 08:26

I am still +4 on my 8-April low but period bloating may be responsible for a bit of that, fingers crossed anyway.

Have a good time this morning crisp you loon
