Drunken OOTD

This isn’t actually today. This was last week when I got way drunker than is humanly necessary and hung out with one of my good friends. Something we haven’t done in a long while. I’m baffled as to how pointy my face is. Cheekbones, hello!

I’m wearing – Boobtube: River Island (via eBay) | Shrug thing, skirt and necklace: Dorothy Perkins | Ankle boots: M&S.

Makeup – Some sort of mineral foundation | Collection 2000 Lasting lipstick | Collection 2000 eyeliner | Mac Pewter eyeshadow | No.7 Exquisite Curl mascara.

More photos (mainly of me and Swirly Face being drunk and glittery) from the evening:

Fitness Challenge 1 so far

As far as fitness goes, this has been a good week. I’m not going to count my chickens yet because it’s not the end of the challenge and I still have a big party to get through tomorrow. (I can replace food with alcohol, right?) But I have lost weight and inches. Actually, a lot of weight. I don’t trust the accuracy of my scales but I am currently very happy.

Things that have happened so far this week

  • I ran 5k in 37 minutes and 50 seconds
  • I put up with wrist discomfort while doing yoga and didn’t hurt afterwards
  • I went to a pub and didn’t drink alcohol
  • I didn’t beat Ben in any games of badminton
  • I injured my shoulder trying to beat Ben at badminton

Full update on Monday morning. The next challenge will consist of two weeks of the TLC Plan from Activia.

Are magazine diet tips doing us any good?

There’s a magazine I keep seeing at work (it shall remain nameless) that boasts the new diet plans that will help you shift that Christmas weight and how no one wants to wear Spanx.

It got me thinking, do women really need to be told about more ‘diets’ and quick fixes that are going to make them healthier/better/prettier?

Is it too much to say eat less and move more? Generally that will work for 80% of the population.

I intended to go into a 2,000 word tirade about how it’s not ‘easy’ if it were then we wouldn’t all be so god damn fat. However, I’ll leave it here. Comments, abuse and LOLs are welcomed below.

The beginning of Fitness Challenge One

I weighed and measured this morning, all in preparation for the fitness challenge Running Bunn and I are undertaking.

Somehow, I’ve managed to put on 2kg over the weekend. So hopefully that’ll be easy to lose! My starting stats are:

  • Weight: 84.5kg / 186lbs
  • Chest: 40″
  • Waist: 34″
  • Hips: 42″

My muscles have just about recovered from my PT session on Friday, an early morning 2.3k on Saturday and a 7 mile walk (plus roast dinner) yesterday. Tonight I’ll be attempting my 4.6k route with the boyf. Under 45 minutes would be nice but I’m not holding out much hope for that. It is very, very cold.

I’m not going to update here every day but follow me on Twitter or Tumblr for up to the minute complaints and victories.

I’ll also share the beautiful charts Ali and I made to track our progress this week. (I might even make mine into a PDF for you to download.)
