Another way of putting it is, I have now lost 8 lbs this year ... agggghhhh - maybe I ought to go back for another week.

Well, it has certainly kick-started me into doing something, as apart from the exercise, the food excellent (or was it that I was ready to eat anything?)  and extremely healthy. 

I am out for a meal tonight with some friends.  A belated celebration of my husband's birthday, but in a "good" moment I offered to drive.  I am feeling totally in control at the moment - I wonder how long it will last???

I have had such a bad day today.  Here goes ...

A month ago, I got a brand new car - and I absolutely love it.  Nothing fancy, just a black focus estate.  Have just about done 1000 miles in it, so it has not even had its first service yet.  I was waitiing to get through the security gate at work this morning (idiot person infront of me blocking the gate even though he had no pass to get throug) and a complete tosser of a bloke in a white van decided he wanted to reverse out of a place he was in, and, we all know that men cannot multi-task, so he was unable to look round and check there was nothing behind him ... so ... bang!! crash !!! straight into the side of my nice new car!!!  

That happened this morning, and it took me till lunchtime to think about eating.  Now I have thought about it, I want chocolate ... cakes ... chips ... very large brandy ... bottle or 2 of wine !!!

Weight loss might be a negative again next week. 

And, while I am at the ranting stage - why oh why does everyone say "well, at least you are okay, it could have been worse!"  Yes, it could have, but it could also have been a whole lot better if he hadn't of hit me!  Grrrrr

Sunday, however, it seemed only right to raid the chocolate biscuits and sweets ... then out for Chinese meal, and much too much wine!

Still, all back to normal on Monday - went to kicking place, then somehow the sweet tin opened and chocolates jumped into my mouth :-(.  Why, oh why do I do it?  I suppose I ought to throw away the biscuits and sweets, but somehow I cannot bring myself to do that.  Also, I feel that I need to learn how to behave with them around.  To be honest, most of the time I can, can't I????  Or is this why I am so fat ...

Can I blame pmt?  Do menapausal (sorry about spelling) women get pmt? 

Saturday morning woke up will slightly sorer throat, but promised to go to karate so off I went.  I have been in bed ever since!  (well, almost).  Managed to get up this morning and weigh, and lost 1 whole lb. 

Trundled off to work, felf awful, so came home and went back to bed ... this is serious man-flu stuff!!  Hope I am better tomorrow ... all this lying around eating grapes and stuff (illness has done nothing for depleting the appetite), and I want to get back to exercising.  Especially with a curry coming up on Sat evening and chinese on Sunday.  Aaagh!!!!!

So, this morning, I did what dieters are always warned not to do ... I got on the scales!!  I thought it would be okay as I am not "dieting", but to my horror I had put on a whole pound!!!!! 

This means that I just HAVE  to go to Karate this evening - even though my arms and shoulders are still hurting from the other night ... wish me luck

Got on the scales this morning and .... lost the 3lbs I wanted to!!!  (even better - my husband only lost 1)

That has got me well motivated now ... went to kicking place again tonight - but I think that was a mistake after last night!  I can hardly move my arms!!!  Still, it has to be good for me, doesn't it?

Off to get a glass of water ...

Still worried that I will not have lost 3 lbs this week ...
