Nope, not much visible change this week. However, I have some fabulous news! I started weighing myself last week and between now and then, I kid you not, I've gone down 5lbs! I don't know where they've gone as the measuring tape looks more or less the same but the numbers still lower, so who cares, haha!
I still want to lost another 30lbs though so AGESSSSS to go yet, but its getting better :)
Also - I've been to the gym or swimming 6 times this week, so I'm giving myself a well earned rest day. My legs are aching so much today, I feel crippled, haha!
So anyway, that's that. A good week really, even though the measuring tape is being unfair still.
In other news - I've got this app on my phone now called 'calorie count' which does the same thing as my diary, except its much easier because I obviously always have my phone on me! It has a huge database of food on it so I can record my calories much more accurately, and it gives me a nutritional analysis of my day, tells me off for eating too much or too little or not drinking enough and its just generally a genius idea. Love it!
If you're interested definitely give it a go. Or if you just want to find out how many calories you're actually consuming in a day - you might be surprised at how much - just try logging your food for one day. http://caloriecount.about.com
Its pretty fab!
Moving on, I finished my skirt last night because I was too excited to wait until next week, haha! I did get a few more essentials I needed too. You could call it a 'mini haul'.
I got some chalk - makes it much easier to mark patterns, a longer, stronger tape measure, a wash-away pen for marking fabric, and some hook and eyes. All from http://www.abakhan.co.uk/.
Very useful, all kinds of things on there!
Anyway, I did the waistband, got totally confused by the pattern and just guessed. If it falls apart, its all my fault, haha! Anyway, this is it:
Cutting out the interfacing for the waistband...
About to iron the interfacing on to the waistband fabric...
And the results when I finished. It doesn't look too bad but it is quite messy on the inside. If I do it again, I'll need to do more research on technique.
This is what it looked like as a whole, front and back:
Sorry the back picture is upside down, forgot to turn it!
And this is what it looked like on:
Yaaay! I'm a dress-making genius! Haha!
That's it for today I think, I might have made something else by next week, we'll see :)
Bye byeeeee xx
