Week two!

Well, what a lovely, busy week it has been! We drove up to Leicester on Thursday, I had a day of pampering getting my nails and hair done on Friday which was a real treat. My friend Nataliya has opened her own beauty salon in Leicester City Centre so the hubster treated me to new acrylics in the morning and our favourite hairdresser dyed and cut my hair in the afternoon. I felt very spoilt for a few hours and it was lovely hehe.

New hair thanks to the lovely Donna

My lovely nails from one of my besties new beauty salon!

We went to the the wedding on Saturday, near Nottingham. Wow, it was absolutely amazing, although I didn't expect anything less of Lisa! It was in a gorgeous venue and she looked so stunningly beautiful! The evening reception was absolutely hilarious, drunken carnage with dance offs and lots of falling over, not by me I might add thankfully haha.

I ended up wearing my trusty old maxi dress, I tried on my whole outfit last minute on Friday night, felt awful and went down to show the fam and my Mum just said "you're not going to feel comfortable in that are you" which I translated to "you can't wear that, it looks terrible" haha, luckily I had packed the maxi dress last minute and Mum had a clutch bag and facinator that matched the green in the dress so I felt ok (ish) in the end. It has however made me even more determind to create a new body, especially with the new hair and nails too hehe. I did eat and drink far too much on Saturday though but it was worth it, had a fab weekend!

All ready pre-wedding in our gorgeous room courtesy of the lovely bride and groom. Excuse the face, hate taking photos of anything other than my face haha!

It was of course lovely seeing my family again and the kids loved spending time with Nanny and Grandad, Auntie Bec Bec, Jacob, Livi and Daisy-Mae. They were good as gold for Nanny on Saturday and had fun at the local annual village fete where I first met their Daddy, 12 or so years ago. They went to bed like a dream too which meant I could enjoy the evening reception without having to worry, bonus!

So, after Burger King on the way to Leicester, Bangers and Mash at the pub with Hubby's Dad on Friday, the 3 course wedding breakfast and lots of alcohol on Saturday, a full English breakie and Mums yummy Sunday dinner followed by apple strudle and custard on Sunday, I have managed to claw it back Monday and Tuesday and have managed to lose 2lbs this week! Must have been all the dancing on Saturday!!

This week I have spent more time looking after me and have even treated myself to a few new tops and I feel so much better for it! Lots of people have commented on my hair too and it feels good! I can't wait til people start noticing my weight loss again.

Oh yeah, with how lovely the wedding was, we have decided that we want to renew our vows on our 6th wedding anniversary next year 5th September 2015, this will be the only time it is on a saturday until 2019, so hopefully we'll look at booking that asap and I really will have something to aim for and I will finally be able to wear a wedding dress and feel like we've done it properly and have the kids and all our family and friends there to celebrate with us this time! Exciting....watch this space!......
