Two Wild Strawberries: July 2012

12WBT - Week Eight

Okay.. I will be the first to admit it - I'm not really following this program anymore. It's not that it wasn't working, I think it's more the fact that I hate and despise the idea of "dieting". However, we are still following some of the suggested meal plans, and still excercising (Stuart alot more than me, whoops!)

I'm still moving in the right direction weight and size wise, I weigh 82.3kgs at the moment which pleases me to no end. Also, I may not have lost too much in my measurements, but holy cow check out my waist difference!!!

Area Pre-WBT Week 4 Week 8

Chest 102cm 93cm 93cm

Waist 81cm 80cm 76cm

Hips 107cm 103cm 102cm

Right Thigh 70cm 69cm 69.5cm

Left Thigh 71cm 68cm 69cm

Right Arm 33cm 32cm 31.5cm

Left Arm 33cm 32cm 31.5cm

I'm definitely feeling healthier and happier about myself. Now, there's just four more weeks left of the program to use it to its full ability I guess.

Here are some snap shots that Stu took of me before we headed out to see Cirque Du Soleil's Ovo - which, by the way, was fan-bloody-tastic!!

What I Wore:
Vintage Lew Magram 70's orange dress - etsy My Attic Treasures

Lots of Love,

The Stampede!

Hello All!!

Stuart and I have decided to sign up for The Stampede, a gruelling 5km obstacle course of mud, cargo nets, giant slip and slides, and live wires charged with 10,000 volts on September 8th. A mere 8 weeks away!!

I have always wanted to participate in some kind of charity run or marathon, but an obstacle course seems WAAAAY more up my alley!! This year they are helping out CanTeen, and as such we have also set up our own money raising page under the name (of course, what else would it be..) Wild Strawberries!

Do you want to know what else would be awesomely fantastic!? Why don't you, yes YOU!, come join us?? We are "competing" (I use that very loosely, as it is more about having fun!) at 12.40pm.. OR you can come watch us and cheer or jeer us on, but of course.. this means you have to take lots of photos of our messy selves!! If you would like to come along and join in on the days fun, please leave a comment below on how I can contact you.

Now, all we have to do is get down to that horrible training so that we can complete the course. OMFG, I am so excited!!!! Wooooo

Lots of love,
Chantal

Tasty Tuesday: Addams Family (belated)

Hello all!

This is a very belated tasty tuesday.. sorry, thinks have been quite hectic at work, so all I've wanted to do is come home and sleep, sleep sleep!! I'm looking into getting an Addams Family tattoo, specifically of Morticia and Gomez Addams. To me, they opitimise everything to do with love and devotion - I can't think of any other famous couple (TV or otherwise) that are so loyal and so in love with another as these two. So here are some of my fav pictures:
