My new name for Back to Basics is now Operation Christmas Parties
Mr. ralph and I have 4 Christmas parties between our work gatherings and social engagements to go to this year. I of course want to wear the dress as previously mentioned to at least one or two of these events. It doesn't fit right now.
My mission is clear. I will look great for Christmas!
Okay so the battle of the bloat was successful. I drank heaps of water on Friday and ended up with a good result on the scale. Saturday being my official weigh-in day saw me at 68 kilos on the dot! That was a whopping 800 gram loss for the week. Not to shabby I might add.
This week I am aiming for nothing less than a one kilo or more loss. The plan is to be a bit more restrictive. I have already written out my meal plan for the week and am going to the grocery store when I get through with this entry to buy all the food for the week.
I've planned a bit under my point allowance because I will probably add a few snacks into the mix. To be honest I adapted a menu plan I found in a mag. It isn't very much food, but it is called the look great in shorts diet. It really should say starvation diet, but they write these things for a general audience.
So, yesterday I think I found my other dress. I looked pretty good in a size 10 too, but I didn't buy it. I don't know why, but for some reason I decided to wait. I hope it will still be there this week. It was chocolate brown with a low cut top. The strap was halter style but was gold chain that had a beautiful kelly green broach right in the middle of my chest. I wouldn't even need to wear a bra with it! It clung just a bit below the rib cage and simply flowed out A-line style to just below the knee. I wanted to show you a picture of it, but the company doesn't have it on their website. I think it may be very new stock.
They also had it in maroon, but the brown was the most gorgeous and I already have the shoes to match it.
I'm excited by getting myself ready for Christmas now. I want to look hot! hot! hot!
And Beckie, I believe I have my motivation back! It's great isn't it?

Michele sent me.
Well!
Im grinning from ear to ear.
You've found a payoff (~that~ gorgeous dress).
You've structured a way to get there AND written out a meal plan!
You've positive talked yourself. (so much to be said for affirmations).
AND to top it off, you've dropped almost a WHOLE KILO!
I just gotta comment, you looked good in a size 10 dress? Can you imagine saying those words a few years ago?
You'd have a ball together!!
