Sorry I've been a bit silent this weekend. Unfortunately, I have only one excuse: a hangover! I think I died a million times over. I've never been so ill. It's not big, or clever, but I had a lot of fun in the build up! I think I deserved to let my hair down and go a bit wild. And I was so impressed that I had fit into a pre-Christmas dress, that I just went wild! I'd bought myself this in November in a size 16, but it was a million miles away from fitting. Not only did it fit me, but it was loose in places and really comfortable. I also felt nice in it too, which helps. I'm given myself kudos, because I've worked hard to get into this dress. I have three others that I'm hoping to fit in as the weight comes off, so watch this space.
I went to Rojo with some work ladies. It was really nice. The food was good, but the atmosphere and service was excellent! Relaxed and comfortable, just what I think us Southfield ladies needed! We shared some Nachos to start (between three of us, so it wasn't bad at all). For my main I got chicken skewers with vegetables in a mango sauce. This came with rice and a couple of wedges. It was really tasty. We were good and didn't have a pudding! We did, however, sample some cocktails. I can highly recommend the strawberry mojito! The trouble came when leaving Rojo, when I thought it was a good idea to drink double vodka and tonics. The rest is history. I worked it out that it had been five months since I last went out, and even then I wasn't drunk, so this was certainly justified. Am I convincing you, or just trying to convince myself? My husband is too lovely, and he let me stay in bed until dinner time. The 6 hours awake with Noah was hard. An eager toddler and a killer hangover are two things that should not ever go together!
Can I confess to my sins now please? Let's just say the food from my lovely meal didn't stay down long enough to be properly digested, so I was starving come 6pm on Saturday. Still hung over, and suffering the dreaded munchies, I went to Asda. Big mistake! For my tea I had an entire pizza to myself, some crisps and some chocolate. It was my entire daily allowance of Weight Watchers ProPoints in one meal. It was a good job that it was my only meal of the day then. Oh, the shame! I'm telling you this to highlight what my drinking session caused me to do. I fell completely off the food wagon. I was firmly back on it by yesterday, and I even walked 2 miles. Today I have been even more vigilant, and walked 3.8 miles, so I think I've made up for the error in food judgement! I'm not so pious as to pretend I am an angel when it comes to this weight loss malarkey; I am, however, dedicated enough to think of two days out of fifty as simple respite, rather than failure. I'm going to do what I can to still lose 2lbs this week, as this will put me at my lightest since I was four months pregnant with Noah (yes, I regularly weighed myself when I was expecting).
My exercise plan for this week is as follows: tomorrow I am trying Piloxing for the first time (oh hell). Wednesday I am going to go for a walk again with my mam. Thursday I will go for a swim or to the gym after work, and I will do the same on Friday. I will go swimming or running on Saturday morning, and then on Sunday I will be sleeping all day, because...
It's this weekend that Andy and I are sleeping under the stars in the freezing cold to raise money for charity! It's for the Cumbria Foundation and is called The Big Sleep. For more information- and for details on how to donate- visit our fundraising page here. It's for an amazing cause. Go on, you know you want to donate!
Well, I am off to chill and then sleep. I'm a bit obsessed with Ryan Gosling so I think it's the turn of Gangster Squad tonight.
Take care, and have a great week.
