Before After

End of June Assessment

Wahoo! For the first time this YEAR, my monthly average is below 135. It is-------drumroll---------134.7.

Oh well.

I did manage to squeeze out two more pushups this month, for a total of 22 in one go. Considering I set a New Years goal to be able to do 20 by December, I'd say I'm doing okay there. Too bad I also said I wanted to weigh below 130!

Measurements are all pretty much the same.

Today I bought a dress in a half-price sale to wear to our friend's wedding in August. I thought it was immodestly low in the neckline, but my friend Gail assured me I was being ridiculous. That's easy for her to say, she's got actual cleavage. For me, it's nothing but chest.  Anyway, I'll post a photo and you can see what you think. Have to wait for hubby to get home and take one, though.

I will attempt to describe it. (Please excuse my lack of fashion knowledge...) It's a 100% silk floral print. The material is a golden sandy beige background with a rather traditional looking floral print of cream flowers with pink and darker pink accents on the floral design. It has a fairly plunging V neckline and a dirndl waistline with a point at the top and the bottom of the dirndl part. There are 5 fabric-covered buttons going down the front of the dirndl part. The skirt is A-line with a bit of a flarey kick at the hem. The dress has a thin tie in the back. The sleeves are slightly puffy with a button cuff just above the elbow. It's exactly what you would imagine a 40s retro silk tea dress would look like. I think that's what it is! I got it for £22.50 and plan to wear it with strappy pink heels and a chunky amber necklace. What do you think?

The dress sounds very pretty...

and congratulations on the weight loss.  I keep looking to you for inspiration and tips and want you to know how much I appreciate you sharing it all with us.

Thanks and can't wait to see the dress :)
