Day 4 of operation "Don't be a fat mess".

I prefer this new title *grin*

Meh, I've been failing. Story of my life. I haven't given up yet, but it is so goddam hard when everywhere I go people are offering all sorts of delicious stuff. I don't have that sort of willpower.

Probably heading out for a few sociables this evening with people from work. Should be a laugh but I'm working tomorrow at 8am. NOT fun! But. Fuck it, it's Christmas! Am I right people???

In other news, I have done soooo little work today it's disgraceful. But isn't the point of Xmas to not work very much and get away with it, a few days a year? Jesus would agree, I'm sure.

I have decided to write the fuck out of my novel i.e. Start WRITING again. Has to be done. No one else will do it for me, sadly. So, guys, I'll be tracking my progress here. I need you to nag me if I stop writing lol

If anyone is interested, it's a fantasy novel. It will hopefully become something cool and well written by the end of it. We'll see. Wishful thinking probably...

Thats all from me, so take care folks!

Day 1 of my "Back to health" plan.

I don't know if I'll post my food intake often (it's boring reading tbh) but it might help me stay on track.

Breakfast: small bacon sandwich, black coffee --> filling, but not particularly healthy.
Lunch: Veg soup, blueberry smoothie --> yay!
Dinner: 3 pizza slices and 3 chicken gujions --> bad bad bad!

That's it. At least I didn't snack. And NO CHOCOLATE!

Small steps, small steps :-)

I also walked to and from work, and I'll get some house work done today too. Get this flabby bum moving again!

Meal last night

Well I kinda ate a lot. More than I had originally anticipated, and it's primarily down to getting pretty drunk beforehand.

And they had a chocolate cheesecake for dessert, of course I couldn't resist! But I danced the night away, drank a lot, had a laugh and thoroughly enjoyed myself. So I can honestly not complain.

I have been nursing a hangover all day but ah well. These things happen :D

@ peri, thanks for your comment! I absolutely LOVE my new job, so all the extra work is so worth it.

I've only been doing it a few months but I'm settling in nicely. I am due my review in the next few weeks (if my manager decides to have it on time this quarter!) so I'll find out soon enough what my superiors think. Hopefully they are thinking good things. I'd like that.

Yeah I read bits of your NaNo novel (only the first few chapters - time management issues on my part!) and is seems good! Are you making your second draft public when you start the edit?

I love the editing process, hate writing the first draft. Shame I must write the damn thing first before I can edit it lol

Anyhow, I am in high spirits today as you can tell. Better go and do real world stuff this evening ;) Take care xxxx

Food!

Sigh. Haven't been to the gym in god knows how long. My gym bag is staring at me, all ready to go, and I haven't touched it in ages.

Work has been crazy but enough excuses. I know I look a lot softer than I did two months ago, more wobbly, my skin is awful, and I have little energy.

That's what eating shit and not moving does to you.

So, plan of action.

I had weetabix for breakfast. For lunch I'll have a banana and maybe some almonds. I am going out to a five course meal with work this evening, but I know what's on the menu so I'll skip most of it. I do want to have some sort of proper food in my stomach though as lots and lots of drink will be had. Lots. It's going to be such a fun night, can't wait.

Back to food. I'll probably have the veg soup (no bread) and some of the main course. The dessert will be a real test for me. As long as there's no chocolate I'll not be tempted, but we'll see.

Exercise-wise, things have been shit. I've been so busy with work, the weather has been awful and I've just wanted to vegetate in front of the tv in my spare time.

That's what happens when I don't blog. Well that's enough!!

Thanks peri for your comments. I read some of your NaNo posts (I started NaNo but failed. Too much on. God I hope work gets less busy soon).

Love! S.

PS posted from iPod. Any spelling mistakes are the iPod's fault. Honest.

Thank you

Thank you very much for all your comments, you have no idea how nice they were.

I've been very busy with work - I got a promotion so I don't have much time to myself any more. I am still about and reading blogs, but I don't have time to comment anywhere near as much any more :(

This week was my birthday. I had lots of cake with my boyfriend and my work friends got me cake as well (yum), but none of my best friends remembered to even send me a text to wish me a happy birthday. Also, my boyfriend is broke and his present was really cheap. I don't really care, but what annoyed  me was the fact that he spent all his money on his brother's birthday earlier in the month, and didn't budget any for mine. Plus, I fancied a takeaway on the night of my birthday and he was too lazy to go get it. I WAS PAYING FOR IT TOO!

I am feeling very down about all this, like I'm always the one giving and everyone takes me like a mug.

It's upsetting but I haven't spoken to anyone about it. I am still waiting on a text from my friends, who are clearly too busy to bother about me.

Sorry for the self-indulgent rant.

The point of the post was to say that I'm still about, and I'll try hard to keep posting updates of my progress.

Love,

S

I'm back!

Sorry for the extended hiatus! I was away on holidays with no Internet access, and since I've been back I haven't had the chance to update my blog (though I have been reading your blogs from when I've been back!)

Italy was amazing. The fruit and veg tastes so much better than here (so did the ice creams, tiramisu, pizzas...)

I did indulge BUT I was also quite active - I went to the gym and I swam in the sea a lot. Plus all the walking. So I don't think I gained, but I haven't weighed myself so I'm not sure. Incidentally, I am trying not to weigh myself. I found it counterproductive as it affected my mood too much.

Whilst away, I received a lot of compliments about how well I looked compared to last year, which was nice.

I've been back a few days and I went to the gym on Sunday and Tuesday. I will try to go today again (Thursday) as otherwise I'll not get a chance until Sunday.

Foodwise, it's been mostly good, every day I eat healthy nutritious foods but I always end up eating junk of some sort (be it a muffin, or a scone, or whatever). And it's pure gluttony, I know it is.

Nonetheless, overall things are going well (apart from being back home! The weather had been dreadful lol)
