Second nature
So I'm not the only woman out there that can't change a tyre! LOL Helena commented girls are meant to look gorgeous and just drive. Well I realised I wasn't even looking remotely gorgeous in my oversize polar fleece and track pants. Got me thinking - I've got a reasonable body now, (well just a few bumps here and there) so why the hell am I hiding it!! Tonight I was helping at WW - so just for a change I got dressed up, even chucked on a bit of jewellery - took a quick look in the mirror before I left and yep I passed inspection. Weird how much I enjoyed the changed body to start with, and now I'm forgetting what I've achieved and what I used to look like!!! So getting dressed up I not only looked good, but felt good and a little reminder how far I've come.
I was more than a little surprised that not one person stopped yesterday. They didn't have to change the tyre, but maybe just to check I was ok - or I had a cell phone to get help - need a ride - anything....but not a soul wanted to know. Never mind - I got it sorted:-)
And here's to to Chris H!!! Chris is someone that has offered huge support to bloggers and an honest opinion with a sense of humour to go with it! What's wrong in speaking your mind - if people don't want to listen they don't have to. Simple really, rather than getting bitter, twisted and negative. Glad you will continue.
Weigh in tomorrow, I had a great result last week - so I would be more than happy to maintain, in fact I could even expect a little gain as last week shocked me. Food and exercise has been much the same - still opting for lower carbs. I love how this lifestyle is second nature for me now:-) As I was told yesterday - a work in progress, day by day.

Good on you for getting all prettied up! We should do that more.... and as for yesterday, I am very embarassed by all the attention really. There was two sides to the story... as there always is, and I feel that Kitty was given a hard time for something AKG said. I am still processing all that has happened and am not that happy about it. Maybe I am not cut out for blogging , I just don't know.
I agree 100% about 'dolling yourself up' wherever you are. I use to go into Westfields shopping with track pants and a HUGE sweatshirt or something and just wanted to hide because that's all that I owned - now I always put on at least lipstick and dress nicely and I feel 110% better. Its not for anyone's benefit but my own as it gives me confidence and makes me feel 'normal'.
I'm dumbfounded that NOBODY stopped to help, what is this world coming to.
Good luck with weigh in.
I love getting dressed up - always have - but now I enjoy how I look so much more. I don't leave the house in trackies and no make-up unless I'm exercising.
Make the most of being a woman!
Great luck with your weigh in tomorrow. Sorry to hear about your tire - I am a little concerned now, I don't know how to change one either. I don't think alot of people will stop these days - people are just scared I guess.
And yes - a shout out to Chris H. Great to see all of us sticking up for her.
