'Twas a beautiful day left over from summer today. I wonder if there will be more in the next month or so? (hoping....) I did wake up quite late today since I was cleaning till almost morning, so I couldn't really make the most of the amazing weather.
Since I don't ever like being stuck at home during such weather (we have winter for that!), I thought I should go to the movies. More about that in aother post! :)
Oh and since I did extensive cleaning, my wardrobe is in immaculate condition now - I can see everything I own LOL and choose quickly to get ready in a jiffy.
My sis bought me a nice white cardi last week, and I thought I should utilise today's sunshine to wear it for the first time. :) I didn't want to darken it, so I thought lemme try it with my white jeans. :) But I did have to break it up a little, so I added a touch of soft pink instead of something bright/dark which would just scream against the white.
I definitely recommend soft pink and/or nudes with white as they mesh together very well in harmony. Very elegant colours together...
I will give you the photos before part II of my post (weightloss progress):
White Cardi: Target (gifted from sis)
Soft Pink Tank: Sussan
White Jeans: Katies
LV Scarf: Replica from edb Collection
Nude Wedges: Novo
Handbag: Gifted from sis (she sells these and I can't believe this wasn't sold!) :)
Bow Belt: City Chic
I know there are a lot of you who are fairly new to my blog, but if you want to read a brief account on my battle with the bulge, click away... So it's been 14 months since I have had my lapband surgery. After so long, I have to honestly say that I do not think it is for everybody. It is really really tough... even though some may think it's a magical tool that helps us cheat. If you think that is so, trust me, you need to think again... I have been sick many times... Not because of the lapband, but because of other illnesses (think flu, cold, etc.) which caused my band to be tighter during the period of my illness... which then in turn cause other illnesses such as heartburn, reflux, etc...
However, for me, it is worth it! I am so happy and proud to have finally gotten rid of 45+ kilograms (mashaallah, alhamdulillah). I do have some more to lose obviously, and pyschologically I still need to wrap my head around the fact that I am smaller than I used to be. When I look at the photos, I think "oooh nice, a skinny shot!". I never ever remember looking at a photo and thinking that BECAUSE I actually look as I see myself in the photo. BUT NO! To me, still, that is a "skinny shot", not the real me.
So yeah, I just wanted to share that with you also, because I gave some info some 5-6 months ago. :) Let's see how far I can go.. I think another year and a half... and I should be where I want to be inshaallah... the last 15-20 kgs are going to be the hardest and slowest. Wish me the best, okay? Because the fear of gaining the weight back is the biggest! I need your support... :)
Thank you lovelies.
Mwah!
