30 days left

Today I am starting a count down to my beach holiday. 30 days from now, I'll be on a plane to Italy!

I have a kilo to lose and my whole body to tone up. I'll lose that kilo without many problems, it's the jiggly horribleness of everything else that worries me lol I don't expect miracles, I just want to feel more comfortable when I "reveal" myself, so to speak.

I did quite a bit of strength training at the gym (for anyone that's worried that strength training will make you bulky: it won't. Women don't have as much muscle as men and you'd need to train flat out with perhaps a little help from Mr Testosterone Supplement to actually become "bulky".)

My problem areas remain my arms and stomach. This morning I was pleasantly surprised to see how flat it was, and my stomach felt very empty (not in an uncomfortable way. It made me smile).

Of course that changed as the day progressed! Is it normal to bloat as the day goes by? I sometimes need to move my belt buckle up a notch towards the end of the day, which is annoying. It's largely dependant on what I eat though, so probably nothing to worry about(?)

My face looks worse than ever, but I'm hoping that a few more days of healthy eating will sort that out.

Anyway, thanks for reading :)
