A Whisker Away

Well hello strangers.  Nice to see you.

I'm back from my "valas vacaciones en el sol" and had thought that meant no more silly diets, no more beans, no more flaming Ferris.

But what happened?  I went on holiday, I ate, I drank, I was merry.  And I felt fat, and bloaty and, if you'll forgive me, a bit farty.  Now that's not terribly ladylike I know, but I hadn't realised that actually my body doesnt really like bread and pasta as much as I do.  Jeepers - even my body is split personality.

So I have decided to jump back on Tim's wagon.  Firstly, just to get back to my pre-holiday weight (oh it did feel nice being "9 stone something" rather than "10 stone *cough, splutter".  Even if that 9 stone something was only a whisker away from the big one-oh.

Surprisingly, given my outrageous behaviour whilst away (oh me, oh my, did we clear some cocktails - and I understand there is photographic evidence to prove it) I have only gained 5lbs.  And that is still 6lbs less than I was when I started.  But the holiday pics I've seen certainly show plenty of room for improvement so I would now like to get back to the 9st +++  and then perhaps stick with Tim for 2 of my 3 meals a day (I just hate the breakfast too much for that be part of my life long term).

So its out with skipping breakfasts, boozy lunches, laying around in the sun and carby dinners and its back to "your body is a temple".   and that's not easy in my job.  For example, I am sitting at work now, its late (very late) and I'm looking round for something to eat.  What is there that Tim would approve of?  Nothing.  So I decide to ask my diet nazi (but still rather gorgeous) MB for his advice.  And it came as follows:

"Tim would do lunges before eating 3 sheets (no more) of A4.  Many are called but few are chosen..."

Thanks for your help MB.  Ever thought of running a motivational course?

Oh, and not only am I all about the beans and lentils again,  my kettlebells have arrived - I am only a crunch and a swing away from a perfectly pert posterior.  Although so far they have only been used as door stops.
