I am starting another challenge. The last one I started - well, I didn't really start it. Most challenges are just "let's lose weight" challenges, so I really liked the different-ness of this one. (No, I cannot come up with a better word then 'different-ness' right now.)
It is the Christmas Dress Challenge. Simply put - fit yourself into your favorite Christmas dress. By Christmas. If you want the rules, click the link or the button - it's all very well explained.
So, I don't really do dresses. The last one I wore was my wedding dress, 2 years ago. I'm just too short and stout right now - like the little teapot. But I do skirts. I have a cute little number to try and squeeze myself into by Christmas.
The top looks like this:
 |
| Lacy and Racy. Oh La La! |
And the skirt like this:
 |
| Pencil skirt with pleats. Woo woo! |
Please ignore the gap in the chair cushion.
My goal is basically to get back in these clothes. It's part of the wardrobe I bought for my honeymoon. I have to go from a size 26-28 to 22-24. Which means I'm going to have to kick my own butt. Although I'm not to sure about the sizes, because they vary so much when you get this big. So my specific goal is to lose 40 pounds, by stepping up the exercise from nothin' to 3 times a week. This also includes the lesser goal of learning to eat right on a budget.
I have to do this in three months. Starting tomorrow. Yikes.

What a nice looking outfit !!! Good luck on the challenge, we can root each other on !
Wishing you the best with the challenge. Like you, I'm short and stout and very much like a teapot, so now I have a new image to keep me motivated. I'd rather look like a sleek, slender, lovely rose vase. Your post made me laugh. Good luck with your 40 pound weight loss goal! Jackie
