Two days til the shoot and I am still feeling horribly viral. I don't seem to be able to rest, my body hurts too much. I went Qi Kwan Do training last night in the hope of sweating it out. Although I felt better for about half an hour, as soon as I stopped moving I felt horrible again.
However, on the positive side, I DID feel better for an hour or so AND I have had the hair colour done for the shoot. Happy days!
Donato has been hard at work on our little prop, making it from scratch, by hand no less! Well that's dedication for you. He says this is what photography is all about for him - preparing all the details over weeks, building (or sewing in the case of my dress) things up from scratch and watching it all come together in one perfect moment in time. Works for me!
With my training on hold and succumbing to one of Autumn's sneakier viruses I did not expect astounding results from my Hot Pants at week 1.
HOWEVER after locating my tape-measure once more I had to eat my cynicism! My results were as follows:
Upper Thigh:
Left - 21.25 inches (loss of 1/4 inch)
Right - 21.5 inches (loss of 1/2 inch)
Bum/Hips: 36.75 inches (loss of 1/4 inch)
Lower waist/muffin-top area: 33 inches (no change)
Natural waist: 26.5 inches (loss of 1/2 inch)
Appearance of cellulite: Still present but definitely less apparent
It is the natural waist that has surprised me most, considering that the shorts barely reach that part of my anatomy, however the overall effect that they seem to be having is surprising!
My shoot is this Friday coming so I shall no doubt be sleeping in Hot Shorts until then! And a re-measure at 2 weeks on Monday.
Stay tuned! x
