So the sun’s still shining

and hey it’s that time of the week again when I pull up by diet socks and once again vow to take this weight loss thing seriously after a naughty weekend. I’ve come a long way – 10lbs! – but there’s still this last hurdle to clear and as I want to keep the weight off, I’ve got to be serious about changing my lifestyle. I think I’ve done a pretty good job so far, but the last thing I want to do is undo all that hard work! So it’s salad for me today for lunch and a trip to the gym tonight. I’m hoping one day a visit to the gym will come as naturally as a trip to the pub!

I had invited friends round

for dinner last night, which I had been really looking forward to. I had planned a delicious feast with a bit of help from Delia, but I was in such a state that I didn’t think I could look at, never mind eat, food. So I bribed the Boy to take to the stove, with promises of cooking every day for the next week as well as doing the washing up. It worked and as I watched him chopping and stirring I began to feel a little less queasy and even managed a couple of peanuts. Felt almost fully restored by the time my friends turned up and bravely sipped a glass of wine. The delicious lasagne that the Boy cooked help stop my gurgling tummy – but I was very ready for bed. Hooray for Detox Monday!

yesterday couldn’t have been worse if I jumped in a lake of lard. I was poised at lunch to order a hearty salad, but then I had a glass of wine and all those good intentions were washed away as quickly as the bottle we were sharing. I ordered chips. And then the gooiest, chocolatiest, chocolate cake imaginable with an enormous dollop of double cream. It is this greed-ridden revelation that leads me to another: I love cream. There, I have said it. I. Love. Cream! I never buy it though, as I’d be drinking if straight from the carton like the gluttonous creature I am. After the cake, I attempted to drink away the memory of the all those calories, which of course only served to unravel the day even further. At least my body is giving me a good walloping today as punishment.
