Monday 10th December

Ohhh I totally forgot that I was going to hop on the scales this morning. Suppose I had better do it in the morning.
R had 2 kids round from school which was nice for her. We meant to go to the gym but didn't - no excuse, just didn't.
Eaten fairly healthy today
BFast - Fruit and Yogurt
Lunch - Egg mayo sandwich and ok 2 mini milky ways and ok a pack of Quavers
Tea - Veg and fish stir fry with wild rice (it was all mushy!)oh yeah I forgot, I had a small piece of healthy eating Garlic Bread (Tescos)
Well, I am going to aim to go on the treadmill later for a minimum of half an hour. I think I shall try to do half an hour EVERY day. Neil is going to run me to the gym tomorrow night so I can do an hour or so on my own. I shall take R after school on Wednesday and no excuses from her this time.

Those pesky kids! Went shopping to Sainsburys, J wanted a Macdonalds and ok since they very rarely eat Macdonalds I said ok (takeout) and why on earth did I get me a chicken royale thingie and a plain burger? Danm burger was wafer thin and floppy and NOTHING like the pics. Ate it so fast (as felt guilty about eating it) and then ate only half the chicken thingie as had heartburn from eating burger so fast. Oh and to top it all off bought chocolate from Sainsburys and had a choccy binge at home
But
I did make myself do half an hour on the treadmill whilst watching the My Family Christmas Special (I think Robert Lindsay and Zoe Wannamaker are so so funny).
I also did a few minutes running on treadmill (ok might have only been about 1 minute) but kind of got put off cos my flabby bits (plus errrr.....boobs) were errr.....you know, bouncing. Neil thought it was very funny. Actually it was alarming.

Bought some holderinner tights from Sainsburys (tummy support tights). OMG I hope they at least work a little bit as need all the help I can get for the works do on Friday night.
I do have knickers that hold you all in but the bit above them (above the waist) hangs over them and I look like a sausage. Also the legs are long and slmost go down to my knees and look like cycle shorts.

Tuesday 11th December

How fast the days are going by.
I got a nice dress from Ebay (new) and will take pic of it later. I am probably going to wear it for the Friday evening do (though it is sleeveless and am not so sure about this as top of my arms are yikes flabby)

Here is the dress I have bought - will take pic later when hopefully in less fat mood.
Ok day in work.
Am going to go half an hour on the treadmill later as did not go to the gym this evening - too cold too tired. Really must get back into going ASAP.

Did 20 minutes on the treadmill, should've done that extra 10 minutes and made it half an hour but it was (is) 11pm at night. Why on earth do I leave it till so so late?
Mmmmmm....wonder if I can actually get up when the alarm goes off at 6am and do half an hour then?

The meal out last night was really nice. It was Xmas dinner with the Diabetic Group, 40 people there altogether. J came along with me too as he has often helped with some of the committees work in the past.I won a raffle prize in the meal, it was a manicure set (nail polish etc), very nice, but am not sure what help the implements are for!!!!
Got picked up at 9.15pm by Neil (and R in the car), Neil was going to drop me at the dance class for the last hour of the Mince Pies Dance Do.....but as we drove along a dark and long road the car made a funny noise and khaputted (gave up and stopped and would not drive). Phoned Neils dad to come and rescue us.
J and I pushed the car along a little way nearer to the houses (and street lights). A police car just happened to pass by and stopped to see if all was ok (we were by the street lights by then), they said we were ok to leave the car where it was (just as well as it was going nowhere).
Got home, all cold and Neil stressed with the car business).

We are not with the AA or RAC etc so I think Neil is going to do that today. Am being picked up for work this morning

Had nice day in work, we all went to the canteen for lunch (paid for), I had a salad. Was a nice change as we usually have lunch in the office (not enough time to go to canteen).
Car is in a garage (arghghg).
This evening I actually did an hour on the treadmill (whilst listening to Blink 182, My Chem, McFly etc.) Neil had not got round to putting Bowling For Soup on the MP3 player. I even did a bit of running (ok I will admit it, it was only for about 2 minutes and that knackered me! I did walk v briskly the rest of the time with a few swingey arm movements in time to the music. Ok and I admit it, I was singing (poor R was on the couch looking a bit pained at this)
Am in work tomorrow (have to get lift from Neil, he is borrowing his dads car). The Department Christmas do is tomorrow night - am not ready! Actually I am - got my nice dress. Missed the dress rehearsal today but I remember all my lines so it should be alright on the night (tomorrow night!)
