The black pencil skirt I couldn't take a step in is not so tight anymore.
My black satin trousers hang loose on my hips and thighs.
And my "measuring skirt" that I've had since I was 13... Well, let's just say it's done its job. It's roomy now, surprisingly big, it wraps around me easily and there's still some space left between it and my waist. I used to say to myself that if I fit into this skirt, I'll be thin enough.
I'm not.
Back to my master plan now: anything between 600 and 800 kcals a day, plus lots of exercise. Went to the gym this morning, then cycled to work. Recently I've been locking myself up in one of the shower cubicles during my lunch break and doing lunges and squats while reading a book. Any way is good to squeeze in some more exercise.
And the Dunwich Dynamo is approaching. I've just read some advice on how to prepare for the ride. One of them was to "eat a large pasta meal the night before". I find it difficult to even think about eating a large meal of any sort, let alone pasta, in the evening, but if that's what it takes, I might give it a try.
120 miles. At night. With no medical or logistical support whatsoever. Sounds crazy? Well, I'm crazy enough to do it.
I just hope I'm strong enough to get to the end.
