Another weekend, another hiccup

Weelends are my downfall. I feel like they’re an excuse to not care in general. So I don’t care about washing, about taking my meds, about eating properly, about anything. It leads to problems when it comes to health and diet and exercise. Well read on to find out about the weekend.

I went out with the boss on Friday afternoon to allow him to buy us a pint after a successful shutdown. I got in the mood for drinking then, so Al and I ended up coming home, got showered and headed out again. We wet into a pub in town that had live music playing, met up with some lads from work, had a great night. It was 2am before we got home!! I fell in mud on the way home – I think I would’ve done that regardless of the drink in my cos the place was a quagmire after the showers all day, but regardless, the downstairs bathroom needs to be de-mudded now!

Of course since I had to be and out of the house by 9 on Sat morning this led to sleep deprivation as well as severe dehydration, which in turn led to a fairly major pig out at McDonalds before my dress fitting. That was followed by gorgeous roast chicken dinner at Al’s friends on Sat night – 1am getting to bed. Yesterday I felt awful. So we ended up doing pretty much nothing all day. I slept for most of it to be honest. We did manage to get the clean laundry put away and the bedroom tidied up though. And the bed changed – fresh sheets last night!!!

On the plus side, the dress fits and actually needs taking in around the bust. Plus I ordered a veil and tiara on Sat as well, so that should all be ready to pick up next Saturday. Getting very excited about the wedding thing now.

Still, today is a new day. I went to see a LighterLife counsellor on Sat as well. I’m thinking of doing that for a few months to see how I get on. It will work out at between £250 and £300 a month, so it will be dependent on Al getting work, but it’s something I’m seriously thinking of now. I won’t start until after the honeymoon of course, but it might help more than some of the other things. They actually have meals and stuff now on LighterLife – not just shakes………It would mean hitting a BMI of 30 in 22 weeks. Starting in September. I could be 81kg by February 2013.

I know, another new idea and it’s unlikely training for the marathon can really start until after I start eating enough again, but the counsellor said my usual exercise – aerobics, C25k etc would be ok.

I just want to have a magic wand and make all the weight go away……….

Another new week today and this week the aim is to come in under calories for the week. I was 1686cals over last week (well 1686 over for 1kg weight loss, so still on for 0.75kg loss, but it really doesn’t feel like it today!) This week – keeping to cals. I can and will do this.

I can, I will, I am able.
