My wardrobe - what I wear to shops

I keep waiting until I look better (translation-slimmer) to buy nice clothes. Until that happens, this is what I get around in public in....





another 'sexy' look....






Scott took an impromptu photo of me at dinner. Again, like the 'sexy' clothes. I'm wearing a cheap top from Cotton On and Scott's baggy, grey tracksuit pants (and of course, ugg boots). I'd like to change my 'hanging out at home' clothes to be more the ones worn by the character Penny on the TV show 'Big Bang Theory'. She has the sexy, casual vibe going on.




Something more like this...

Scott and I went to Melbourne at the end of last week and so my exercise and dieting have sort of gone off the rails a bit.

This is only the second time that I have gone to Melbourne and this time I got a chance to walk around and soak up the sights while Scott attended a work conference.

This is an arcade in the city and a tea room which looked very inviting but I felt too shy to go inside on my own. Hope to go back another time and have some of those yummy looking treats. mmmmmm











As beautiful as the city is, the people are really rude and arrogant, in particular, the women. I did wonder if I would be treated the same way if I was dressed up and looked more 'polished'.



This is Scott and I getting ready to go out for dinner and drinks.



I'm really pleased with how clear my skin looks because it has been looking really red and patchy and pimply and wrinkly lately.

This is some recent photos of me without any makeup. The photos don't really show all the wrinkles and what not but it was the best I could get.



and this is the new eyeshadow set I bought from the 'Makeup Geek' site.




I really love this site!!
There are plenty of tutorials and advice and it has been instrumental in helping with the makeup part of this makeover. I'm still in the infant stage. Gathering all the makeup needed and the brushes etc, then I just need to start practicing some different looks.
The hardest part is getting used to wearing the makeup in this 'stronger' way cause I don't wear much makeup. When I was working in the public eye, I just wore some eyeliner and mascara, maybe some powder on my face and a light brown shadow.

Monday madness

What I have been eating and drinking...









What happens when you do this...

Monday 21st June

Thought it would be a good idea to indulge last night and have some beers, sort of a like a last hurrah for the next 8 weeks... Bad move.

I woke up this morning with a headache from dehydration and did no exercise. Then, as a pick-me-up, I had a can of diet coke which, caused my blood sugar to drop drastically when I was out getting groceries, I tried some coke to get some sugar into my system but I was still feeling shaky. So, I tried the good ole snickers bar, which normally puts me right. But when I got home I still felt weak and shaky and I devoured corn chips I had bought for Scott. So not exactly off to the flying start I had hoped for.

I am booked in to get a brazillian this afternoon. So at least something today will be done in the name of 'looking good' :)

I took some photos of myself just so I can start keeping a photographic diary as well.

This is what I wore when I went out to get groceries. Not very sexy....
