Thinspo

I think it's safe to say that summer's finally here! :) And what better way to get some motivation than some awesome thinspo! :) :)










*Totally adore what this girl's wearing*











Don't have too many on my comp right now, so will upload more later.
As far as progress goes, right now I think I am a size 16 already b/c I wear size 16 jeans (River Island) but it changes from store to store. So I'll be sticking to only one store to keep track of my weight-loss. I don't fit into size 16s from H&M - so that's my target at the moment :) I own a shirt that's size 16 and can't button it up (anymore) :P So have to fit into that within two weeks *fingers crossed*

Time's time to head to the gym now. Love x

(Ps - The sizes mentioned at UK sizes)

Back In Action

Ok my absence was intentional. My holiday plans got cancelled so I made new ones and those got cancelled too (thank you volcano)...so I decided to just take a 'mental' holiday...didn't work for a week...just played Gears of War & Tekken 6...read some amazing books - and started playing squash! I'm in love with the game :)
Although weight-loss has been at the back of my mind, I knew it was time to get some perspective and new motivation. So right now I'm just gonna focus on working out (yes, I renewed my gym subscription and have been going religiously) and just making my lifestyle more 'active'. Oh yeah, although I'm not gonna strictly count calories, I've started to write down what I eat and shall be putting it up here. :)
And yeah, I'm not giving up thinspo - I loveeeee those pictures - so I'll definitely be putting up more pics from now on.
My next weigh in - a week from now.

Exercise and an Engagement

The past 10 days, a friend and I have been going on these super long walks every evening (with my pup of course). We walk and walk till we are exhausted and then walk some more :)
So in the morning, I do some mat exercises (especially for my knee) and in the evening its these walks. I will be renewing my gym membership the end of this month (after I get my salary). So I'm really hoping to see some great results by the end of March!
For now though, I'm not concentrating on weight loss - because, to be really honest, it sometimes gets really depressing. :)
My current target is to fit into an old pair of jeans (they are about 2 years old). I want to fit into them before my trip to China. I'm positive I'm gonna be the fattest person everywhere I go! Haha! Sometimes I feel like cancelling the whole thing.

Anyway, that's that. *fingers crossed* :)

Last week a friend of mine got engaged :) And I'm super excited!! She is supposed to get married in December. Totally looking forward to the wedding! And she's south Asian - so that means an entire week of celebration!!!! Yay! Although I'm part South Asian, I've only been to a couple of weddings *sigh*

I'm also looking forward to getting some 'ethnic' outfits stitched. It's all gonna be colourful and like those Bollywood musicals (I hope) :D

Some photos from Flickr, thought I'd share :)










The one below is a Bengali Wedding - The male members from the Bride's side life her up hiiiiigh so that the groom cannot put the garland around her neck ;) I've seen this in one of my cousin's wedding! It's sooo much fun!

Happy!

I can finally cross out my first target!!!!! Yay!!!
As of yesterday, I weigh 178.5lb - SO happy! :)
To be honest, I thought I'd be here earlier, but I'm not going to dwell on all that now...the past week, I have been moderately working out (at home) and will start going to the gym once I get back from my trip.
I'm kind of getting addicted to the scales now, hehe, I checked my weight twice today.. and I haven't been eating much either...I think I'm going back to my old habits. Which isn't good, look where it's got me (after I lose the weight, I put it back on SO easily)...So I'm just going to eat like a 'normal' human being. Nothing more, nothing less. I can feel the difference already...I'm somehow happier, my clothes don't feel as snug...I hope I can stick to this permanently.
I just get so complacent, once I start losing the weight, I'm like, "ohhh this is so easssyyyy! I can indulge a little"...and I start eating all the wrong things...sigh

Anywayyyyyyyyy, like I said, no dwelling on bad stuff :)
Hope I can begin blogging regularly like before... :)

Love x

Day 2 (sort of)

Went for a nice long walk last evening..the weather was nice (for a change) and Pup was in a good mood and didn't pull on the leash too much (and before you start, I spent days and hours getting him to walk properly and have given up now - he's not that bad) :)
Today, I'm planning to work out for at least an hour + go on a walk.
I don't know where my motivation's gone.. :(

Anyway, will post later today!

If I Could Save Time In A Bottle...

Wow, okay. I have really missed this whole blogging thing. And I guess it will take sometime to get back on track, but I'm in a good mood, so I won't complain.
First, weightloss - I managed to cross my first target and had dropped down to 178.5lb (woot!). Unfortunately that was that...a couple of my friends came down from the US and all we did was drink, eat, party, drink some more - and I'd end up skipping meals and eating the 'wrong' stuff (McD's - eeex!!) - - I'm scared to weight myself right now. I don't even know how much I've gained back!!!
So I'm giving myself until the end of this month (again). Ha ha.

Also, my trip! Yay! I'll be leaving in April - for two weeks. Can't wait to meet my friends there! So excited!! The only thing I'm bummed about is, I can't shop there :(
You really have to be 'skinny' to fit into the clothes out there..maybe in Hong Kong I might find something...but I'm not pinning any hopes on that. I need to drop like 50lb in 5 weeks. *sigh*
I'm beginning to hate myself again.

Alright, for now, this is it.

Love to all!! x

China :)

I know it's been ages since I posted, but work's been super hectic! Also a few friends had come down to visit and I didn't have much 'me' time :)
Anyway, I'm super excited about my trip - I'm going to Chinaaaaaaaaa! :)
I have to drop down to 170lb by then!!! :)
More later!!!!!!!!!
