Will I ever fit into a size 10 bikini? Will my boyfriend ever do anything romantic? Will I pass my masters and progress my career at the same time? Will I ever learn how to stop shopping and start saving - permanently? Join me on my adventures in London, Lottie Style.

Cardio day - ouch

Cardio day today at bootcamp, I am now feeling very stiff and tired. I pushed myself hard and every time I felt pain or tiredness I pictured the bikinis and it worked. Spurred me on to keep going and push through the pain barrier. The session consisted of sprint drills, threshold running and cardio moves. It was tough but I’m glad I pushed myself hard – feel that burn.

Yesterday, I was walking along Oxford Street in my lunch break soaking up some Vitamin D and having a meander and what do I stumble on but the Marks and Spencer sale. I only went in to have a little look and lo and behold, what do I find but the dress I had my eye on for the past month or two reduced from £69 to £30. Well that is rather lucky, I thought to myself so tried it on and sure enough it looked fab so promptly snapped it up. Bargain. It’s for a wedding in July and potentially another wedding in August (different friendship groups, so I can wear it twice if needs be) I have a total of 5 more weddings this year. Last year I invested in 3 fabulous fascinators and three dresses and swapped them around for the 5 weddings I had last year. I have already attended 2 weddings this year and have still managed to not buy anything new. However the wedding I have in July is for a couple within a group of friends who will have seen at least all three outfits once, if not twice for one. So I'm feeling quite smug that my new planned outfit has been purchased as such a bargain. I now need to order a black fascinator and need to locate a summery black jacket to go with the dress and then I'm done. The dress is a fab coral colour - I love brights and is a shift style with a belt. I wear this style a lot as I have a tiny waist and long legs and I like to wear wide fascinators and they work best with this shape of dress too. It’s an Audrey Hepburn/Chanel inspiration look.


I think an Epsom salts bath may be needed this evening to ease my poor legs. Oh and I also have to construct my outfit purchase matrix to decided what I can and cannot buy for my dream Italian holiday wardrobe. Anything to stop me raiding the secret cookie jar and secret chocolate in secret chocolate hiding place.

So glad there is no more running now until Saturday

Enjoy the sunshine
