Heading into the weekend....

So it's Friday, and the weekend is coming! Very excited about it! Don't you love four day weeks? Easter is such a good time - so many days off work!

This is my last weekend house sitting in this particular house, then i'm back home for a week, and house sitting for another friend. It's strange that two lots of friends have decided to go overseas at similar times. I think i'll enjoy the second time a bit more - it's closer to the city, good restaurants close by, i can just jump on a tram and be anywhere - i'm excited!

So the boyfriend is coming to where i'm housesitting to stay with me... hooray! We live together, so when we spend a week apart, it feels like forever. I'm strangely excited - it's almost like me staying away puts a bit of spice into our relationship. I'm excited to see him  - feels like one of our first dates!

We're going to go ice skating tomorrow then just chill sunday morning, because we have to head back home because he's got football training.

Hopefully next week i can get back into the gym schedule. I might go for a walk sunday night when he's at training, then definitely do a couple of gym classes.

I'm getting a bit nervous about next weekend - we're having a big party for my partners birthday. I'm a bit nervous about what to wear. I'd love a new dress (although i have plenty of nice ones, and probably cant afford it anyway), but i'm too scared to shop. On the same page, i'm too scared to even try on some of my dresses for fear that they wont fit me. Grrrr. I guess i just need to bite the bullet and try something on.

Do you know what one of my biggest fears is? And this sounds crazy, but. I'm scared i'll wear something and feel hot, feel great about myself, think i look really good. Then i'll see photos later, and go 'oh my god, i looked terrible'. This happened at a wedding i went to recently - when leaving the house, i thought i looked great. And afterwards in the photos... man. not happy.

Hrmm... Not much i can do about it in a week though! Guess i'll just have to grin and bear it. I'll try on some dresses on Sunday and let you know how i go.

Hope you have a great weekend. Oh, and if you're reading this - please leave me a message. I love to read them!

I totally understand

I've had that same experience with pictures of myself.  Of course the camera adds 10 pounds and if you've got a really good digital camera it is going to show every flaw.  (If been setting the resolution down on mine.  I don't think I need to see in a picture what the human eye can't see, do you? LOL).  I'm not sure what the answer is girl.  All I know is we've got to keep on going cause we don't like where we're at, right?  Hang in there.  You're doing great!!!

hi there

I always think I look horrible in pictures regardless... well the head up I look fine, but damn I'm bigger than I think I am. LOL!    I definitely didn't know how big I was when I was 230 lbs I can tell you that.  The horror when I saw a picture.  That's when I started this weightloss thing and also because I avoided having my picture taken and there aren't maybe a handful of picture of me in the last 7 yrs.

Good luck finding something to wear.

:)

Am so glad you liked it! :) It's not an everyday thing, but I really think it's good for a frozen meal.
Have a GREAT weekend! Remember, only an email away! :P Go try those dresses on, bite the bullet. You can do it!

Photos are evil!

You aren't the only one!

I have had that happen too many times, you think you look hot - then you see a picture, and think "oh god, did I really look like that?".

Usually you do look hotter than what is captured in the photo. The photo will only show your outward appearance, and usually at unflattering angles. However, your real beauty comes through with how you hold yourself - your quirks and body language... and it is rare to catch that on film!

So, don't worry if you don't look good in a picture, few people do! I am sure you were gorgeous, even if the photo wasn't able to capture it!
