Another weekend over

It’s been a long hard weekend.

I’m exhausted.

I want to be back in bed and frankly, my productivity at work is minimal today.

I lost 1.5lbs last week in Rosemary Conley. That started a binge that has only really finished this morning. And the only reason it finished this morning was that I didn’t have time to stop and get any food at all on the way to work. I’m still not graphically hungry, which says a lot!!! But I will get something to eat at lunch time. Soup and a sandwich or something like that.

OK the weekend. Well it started on Sat morning when we left for Salisbury at 8am. Got there just before midday and picked up my dress and Al’s wedding ring. I still need to lose some inches off my waist and hips to fit the dress properly, but the chest needs to be taken in so that’s a good thing. I’m planning a trip to Cambridge on Wednesday night to invest in some shape altering underwear for the occasion.

Since the priest was busy all afternoon we headed up to Cheltenham as planned to see the new arrival, who is the cutest thing ever!! I spent most of the afternoon cuddling with the baby and feeding him etc, etc, etc. Anna and I had a good chat about the upcoming wedding and how best to deal with the in-laws. I reckon she’s far too polite and her husband needs to stand up for her a bit more, but we’ll see how it goes. I know I wouldn’t put up with the way the in-laws treat her. It’s not nice and it’s not fair.

Saturday evening was a dash back to Salisbury to get the paperwork sorted with the priest – it all went smoothly and it’s all in order, so there’s no problems foreseen there. With a bit of luck the wheels of the Catholic Church will move at least no slower than usual and the papers will reach the parish priest at home in a suitable time!

Sunday we got up and had brekkie at the hotel, then went over to Mark & Anna’s. There was a bit of a kerfuffle about lunch – Al and I were leaving ~2 anyway, but the in-laws wanted to have dinner out rather than lunch out. It was all sorted in the end and we went to the harvester for lunch. The future MIL was a bit put out by the fact that Anna and I were drinking and her precious sons weren’t, but that’s life. I’m not losing sleep over that!

I slept pretty much the whole way back up in the car after that and then had another nap when we got in. It really takes it out of me travelling and dealing with the in-laws. I’m not sure how to manage it so I’m less exhausted after seeing them, but I need to come up with something. At least Al and I are safe for a while anyway, but there’s already being motions made about Christmas and things.

Still, leave those troubles for another day.

I didn’t weigh myself this morning – I was running late for work anyway, so adding that trauma into the mix isn’t going to help matters. I’ll weigh in the morning to see how bad the damage is. I’m sure I can rectify some of it before Wednesday evening.

I also need to drink water. A lot of water. I’m severely dehydrated and need to get that sorted. 0.5 Litre already this morning and another one on the go now. I will get my urine back to a normal colour soon!!!
