My mum bought some stickers the other day. One lot have puppies on and the other has kittens on. She told me that every time we lose a stone, we'll get a sticker. She was having puppies and I was to have kittens. I have one kitten on the back of my LL record book so far but I want another one!! I am 5lb off my next stone and a couple of weeks ago I did lose 5lb in a week. I have been Xst 13lb in the morning now for about 5 days. It's not looking good. I was contemplating doing some exercise in the hope of burning up a few more pounds. I don't want to wait two weeks for a kitten.
I even considered buying an exercise bike from Argos (it's payday today, wa-hey) but I always have bad feelings about it because I bought one when I very first got a job, used it for however long and then it sat there for years accommodating scarfs and necklaces.
We have a rowing machine at home that I could use. That really kills me. I suppose now that I've lost a bit of weight it might be easier. I've gotta ask myself, how much do I want 2st Kitten?
I dunno, it seems a bit silly buying something that will ultimately just collect dust (and junk) when I have something else I can use at home already?
I went Thursday Night Late Shop last night to buy some new work clothes because of bagginess. Nothing in New Look inspired me (who would wear a shirt with a corset over the top to work?) and so I decided to browse the shoe section. I am notoriously awful at being able to buy shoes. I have a perpetual problem that may just me or may affect a lot of fat people, I don't know. Basically, I have to buy a size 8 for my foot to actually fit in the shoe but I AM SO NOT A SIZE 8!! Back in the day I used to be a 6 1/2, then it went up to 7 and now it is 8. It's because my foot is so fat. I'm sure of it. I tried on some flip flops once and to get the widest part of my foot in to the flip flop I had to try an 8 but I had sole overhang on the front and back or about 3/4 of an inch. It looked stoooopid.
So for a while I slopped about in size 8 shoes (not the aforementioned flip flops though) and they were pretty uncomfortable.
When I tried shoes on last night I was still a size 8 but the shoes weren't as uncomfortable now and they feel a little bit bigger. I still bought a size 8 in the end but I can waggle my toes and I'm not crippled a soon as I stand up. I wondered if the shoes I have at home might fit better as well but when I went to try them on they were all too big. My favourite type of shoes are peep-toe slingbacks but when I tried a pair on the slingback was all saggy and wouldn't stay up. Oh well, hopefully I won't stay at an 8 and by next April I will be back to a 6 1/2!
