It's Friday!!!!
Thank god! i love friday. No more work til Monday. A chance to slob about in my PJ's and play with the dog and catch up on Hollyoaks on a sunday morning whilst the OH makes me breakfast in bed. Apart from being in work at 5am (yes, that ungodly hour does exist), its gonna be a good day. I finish work at 1pm, then i'm going shopping with OH's brother. He's gay and great to shop with whereas the OH just gets grumpy unless we do nothing but walk into GAME buy something for his XBOX 360 and return home.
AS for yesterday? I was good mostly, i did have a kentucky for my dinner though as we were both soooo tired we couldnt be assed making anything and KFC is next door to where i work. But i pointed it (yup, i visited the WW site for the first time in ages) and have promised the mutt a nice long walk through the forest on saturday to counteract.
More on my mutt. The suicidal one from yesterday. Lucy (hateful name for a dog i know but its the one she came with) is a labrador-rottweiler cross mongrel type thing. Or a rottrador as i like to call her (there was a whole thing on the news yesterday about designer dogs and their silly names. labradoodle anyone?) She weighs 6 stone, is brown with a black shaggy stripe down her back, the heart and temperament of a lab and the brains, or lack therof, and bone structure of a rotty. And i love her to pieces. Even if she is suicidal. Perhaps she is fed up living with me and my constant efforts to make our household healthy. Yup, she gets lettuce like the rest of us. She's not too fond of pickled onions but she'll eat them!!!! We got her from the pound almost 2 years ago when she was 2 days away from being put down *sob* cause no-one wanted her or could handle her. They weren't even gonna let me see her cause they had scheduled her injection already. But i threw a strop, full kiddy tantrum, until they relented. They brought her out and she jumped on me, licked me and knocked me onto my ass. A bit like the OH when we first met haha! SO i fell in love instantly (with her not the OH) and she came home with me and has lay on our sofa, watching our telly eating my chocolate, ever since.
But she is suicidal. or just incredibly stupid. Either way, my life revolves around saving her. I took her for a walk last week to a nearby forest where she:-
Jumped into a 12ft deep firepit flooded with water (she doesnt swim)
Tried to chase a cow MUCH bigger than she is
Got stuck in black mud and couldnt get out, and
ran headfirst into a tree (it was huge, how she didnt see it i dont know)
AS i said, she aint the smartest in the block. But at least i get plenty of exercise chasing after/rescuing her.
So onto today. I'm gonna
- Drink 3 litres of water
- Eat a huge breakfast (apparently new research hints that we should consume half our daily calories in breakfast )
- Make wise food choices
- Not argue with the boss
- Eat 3 pieces of fruit ( my fruit intake lately has been rubbish and my skin and hair is suffering
- cook a healthy dinner
If i can keep this up all weekend, then i should be back in the right frame of mind to kickstart my weightloss on Monday as planned
Have a good day
Angell
