a life changing realisation

as i worked out down the gym today i realised that while my new healthy living plan has been rather successful (baggy jeans, loose belts etc etc) it's not something that i can really ever stop doing... yikes! 

no more enjoying cake with abandonment!

no more cocktail binges without a mental note about toxic damage to my insides!

sure i can enjoy 'a' cake and a couple of cocktails between now and eternity but after reading the book that has become my favourite reference in life i just can't seem to shake the whole 'you are what you eat' thing!

what i find strange is that this concept has been around longer than i have been! it ain't anything new, but why did i realise it seemed more true this time around? 

i've been worried i'm just a tired grumpy old lady recently but then that must be all the good behaviour haha, no i think i'm just in a funk being dragged down by all the negativity around us right now, credit crunch blah blah blah, hasn't anyone realised that could be turned into a great product? like a healthy oaty biscuit with choc chips? haha

anyways i'm now just over 68kg and seem to have acquired a personal trainer (he literally picked me up while i was doing squats in the gym - how rude! i was a squatting duck! haha) so i'll keep you posted but let me tell you this for nothing - I WILL NEVER GIVE UP CAKE! 

hehe

seaside diet

so after a wet weekend at the seaside where i indulged in much booze and chips on the pier... what? i was on holiday!

anyways i put on 2lbs which is frankly nothing to write home about so phew! haha

after my fall from grace i've got back on the wagon and resumed healthy eating but gosh after a lifetime of cake its really hard! the only fun things i allow in the house now are peanut butter and honey thanks to their natural flavourings!

and i don't feel so much like i'm denying myself, more like a junkie trying to kick a bad habit! i don't wanna take all the joy out of life but i gotta stop the sugar cravings - they're crazy! now when i see kiddies tucking into all that junk with their little smiling faces i'm forlorn for them! it's such a terrible thing that profits come over health in our western 'civilisation'...

at least i have one thing to smile about these days, with the credit crunch hitting wallets the world over i'm a pretty cheap date as a veggie and on a diet - even cheaper! haha
