Just time for a quick post - things have been so hectic at work this past fortnight, and I've hardly had time to draw breath. I'll be AWOL for a few days from tonight because we have visitors until Friday evening so it'll be hard to get computer time, and then on Saturday morning I go to visit my folks for the weekend to drop off Christmas pressies. I thought I'd better make the effort to write a few lines to show I'm still in the land of the living.
I've been getting into work at 5.30am and not getting home until after 7pm, so exercise has been pretty much none existent. Eating has been difficult too - I've been eating dry cereal at my desk at around 10.30am, then more dry cereal and a banana at around 3pm, and then catching a quick dinner at around 8pm. Luckily K cooks me nutritious, fresh food so at least I'm getting some vitamins in the evening, but from when I get up at 4.30am I don't eat any protein at all until 8pm in the evening.
Not good.
I feel as if I'm doing my body a disservice by treating it so shabbily, but it's difficult to eat properly when one's nose is so firmly stuck to the grindstone! If anyone has any suggestions for nutritious food-on-the-run I'd love to hear 'em.
I've lost a couple of pounds this week, so I'm officially at 52lbs lost in 38 weeks, which is pretty pleasing. At the weekend I finally cracked and bought a whole new outfit , and K paid me a lovely compliment when he said the outfit was the most attractive he'd ever seen me wear. Not bad considering we've been together 15 years! Though maybe it just shows how crap I look ordinarily.
The best thing about the outfit was that it was a size 14 (US size 10)...this is my first size 14 outfit in AGES, so I've been feeling quite svelte and foxy ever since I got it home. Heh heh. I'll be wearing it when we go out to dinner tomorrow night, and it's a nice change to be actually looking forward to a dressy night out - normally such evenings make me break out in a cold sweat at the thought of trying to find something halfway decent to wear. Not tomorrow though, heh - I'm going to enjoy myself!
