four fridays til palma

o bugger - there are just 3 more fridays between me and my palma friday!
that means just over 3 weeks til i have to be ready to get into a bikini for the first time in a long time...

having just had a birthday there seems to be a lot of chocolatey giftage between me and my 10stone destination! omg! this is seriously stressful and we all know stress generally leads to higher chocolate consumption! argh!

mind over matter. mind over matter. i don't mind and he doesn't matter*

the thing is once i get to the actual beach i won't care as much (probably!) because i'll be too busy enjoying the sunshine, surf and sangria innit?! but the run up is terrifying i tells ya!

i'd also forgotten how transparent my skin is on my legs - they dazzle! and not in a good way... what a disaster it is to be english and love the beach such as i... maybe i need a year volunteering in Greece - picking up litter on dolphin coasts to work a decent tan that will only ever need topping up! my mum is off to italy for some serious sun time in a few weeks and she'll come back bronzed goddess! jealous? moi? of course! haha

of course one way to rid myself of all these nice birthday chocolatey things is to share them at the office - save myself extra calories and make friends at the same time! it's a brilliant and in no way cunning plan!

so if you find yourself near my desk this week its definitely worth dropping by! haha

*morecambe & wise classic line there for everyone while i panic!

dastardly scales

i was at my mum's the other day and her weightwatcher scales told me that i was just 65kg! that's 10stone 3lbs... not bad at all for my target of 10 stone by my bijou beach holiday in 5 weeks!

but the gym scales where i weigh myself regular tell me i'm 67kg! hello? that's a massive difference! now it was first thing in the morning so you can forgive a difference of a couple of lbs maybe but that's it - so what am i to think?! at this painful stage of the final few lbs it's too painful to keep weighing myself.. and pointless...

but that beach weekend is fast approaching! haha

anyway, i guess i'll assume i'm the lighter! haha

after a break of just a week at the gym (holiday in Scotland actually) i went yesterday and really hurt my thighs doing my new inline lunge - crikey that better be doing some good! my pt says if it hurts it needs doing the most! and my thighs are a trouble spot for me...

trying to be really good on the sugar front this month too, fallen off the sugar free wagon for a while now, but not crazy crazy just slowly slowly which i think is worse long term for badhabit forming... but how can i have birthday cupcakes and keep those lbs off?!

argh!
