WI Wednesday

So I am pleased to report the scales moved - after 2 weeks away from my 'official' weigh in, I have lost 2 whole pounds. I think shaving my legs in the shower this morning contributed to the weight loss, every little helps.

Actually, I am really pleased with that - I am not sure it's deserved given I have exceeded points on a fairly regular basis and barely moved (apart from walking in Amsterdam). I need to be extra good this week - I think that's highly likely to be an impossibility.

Tomorrow, I may have mentioned, is my birthday and I am commiserating turning 34 in style. Matt is taking me out for a very fancy dinner - a tasting menu which is apparently 10 courses. I think I need to starve myself all day in preparation. However, one small stumbling block prior to that is I am meeting a friend for lunch. I am just popping to hers as she's a new Mum (2 week old Isobel), but I can't really expect dust and water, which is what I should be existing on in preparation for a 10 course meal. How does one consume that amount of food??

Friday night, 10 of us are off for dinner (there is a theme here) to a really nice Italian Restaurant who do mammoth portions of gorgeous food. Ho Hum. I probably won't drink loads however as I've an early start on Saturday. I'm off to Cardiff for a hen do - which involves Cocktail Making and Dinner and no doubt copious amounts of alcohol. Not to mention pink t-shirts and tutu's.

Sunday I may well come home and hibernate.

Work has been awful today, I've had the headache from hell and a load of hassle from not very appreciative people. I've not slept well for the past 3 nights, so I am hopeful tonight I will be knocked out - a couple of gins may assist perhaps? I need a lot of energy for the next few days. I am exhausted just thinking about it!
