THE MORNING AFTER THE NIGHT BEFORE ....

After our weekend away we had promised to call in on my dad at The Mens Club as he had my birthday card and pressie for me to collect. 

The 'plan' was to get the early (5.30pm) have a couple of drinks and go home for dinner.

We got there at 5.30pm, and I had a bacardi & diet coke and opened my pressie. I then had a diet coke, then ......... well then it all went wrong 

There were about 10 people in there, and we were each buying a round.  So everyone wanted to make sure they had bought a round, to keep it fair, and as it was my birthday everyone wanted to make sure they got me a bacardi 

Once it got to 9pm I was happy to go home with no dinner, but DH had the munchies and dragged me kicking n screaming into a chinese restaurant 

So today I have woken up with tummy ache.  My new bod doesn't like being poisoned anymore, it wants to be treated with respect, and given nice, healthy food and drink, not rubbish, so I am now feeling a little worse for wear. 

If I exercised before work I reckon I would be very ill, so I am still taking it easy - where's my determinaton gone ??  I know, my determination has already got me this far, now I need to try to live my new life in my new body, and make sure that next time I go out I STAY IN CONTROL, and respect my  new body, it isn't my old one, the one I used to abuse with crap food and drink choices, thats what got me over weight in the first place, and that ain't me anymore !!!  

And of course, as it was my birthday it is now my turn to buy lots of cakes for my colleagues at work - how am I going to do that without having one or two myself ??  Blimey this birthday is going on forever 

Oh well, it only happens once a year 

Have a lovely Monday - if thats possible 

Time to get ready for work ....

Wow!

Wow on many counts!  First, You look amazing in the picture!  I cant even believe you bought size 12.  You look even smaller than that!  Second, sounds like you had a wonderful birthday weekend.  Time away with the DH, friends, good food, good drinks, presents, doesnt get much better than that

The dogs are getting along pretty well.  About 80% of the time they are perfectly well behaved but then they decide its time to wrestle or chase each other through the house at top speed.  Which is comical because my dog is 55 lbs and all legs while my sisters dog is all of maybe 15 lbs and mosty fur.  At least the little guy is the dominant one in the pair so my dog doesnt get too rough for him.

I know exactly how you feel about your new body not liking the poison quite the way it used too.  I am also in recovery today.....

Grin...

The suitcases are out, does that count .

I don't think I will be issuing any short term challenges ... or how about this one ... see if you can lose the same amount as I'm going to gain whilst on hols!!

That way I might minimise my damage ...... or you'll be stick thin, LOL!

Oh dear

I know what you mean about the new body not liking being poisoned by Chinese - much as I love it (actually, do I now?) I feel rubbish for it.

Thanks for the lovely comments - you're a sweetie!  I'm sure you're right about toning down the exercise and getting some study done.  I stuck to my points today and splashed out anyway with a creme egg that's been in my drawer at work since Easter, prawns and chilli sauce before sups, no walking and generally just chilling out a bit.  Skived off work early too - not much to do making it very, very boring!  Always a bad thing if you're a bit off kilter.

I also haven't done any exercise today!   I figured leaving my 'bug at home must be an omen or something - lol.  So ... lovely fish supper and a hot bath is sounding pretty good.  Early start with some more study tomorrow!

Thanks hun xx
