There is always one day that is the first day of the rest of your life and today is mine, Tuesday 11th January 2011.....
Today I (re)joined Slimming World on the basis of new year new me!! I can safely say without fear of contradiction I have been here before, I have had so many weight loss first days that I have lost count but I need to make this one count. The thing is, I know Slimming World works, I proved that last year when I lost half a stone before my amazing holiday with Green to New York but then I came home and was told I was being made redundant so I resorted to eating to keep calm about it, then by the time that had sorted itself out it was almost Christmas and what is the point of starting this before Christmas that is just throwing money away. Therefore I know I can do this and more importantly I want to do this. As my group leader said tonight I have already made the first step I walked in the door now I just have to work hard to achieve my goal.
My main target is to have lost two stone by my birthday so I have just under 5 months to really nail this. Then it means that by the time I go to the Isle of Wight Festival in June I should be a skinny Minny and not be worrying about what I am going to wear if it is too hot. I have to remember that lying about what I am eating isn't cheating anyone other than me, so I will make sure to write about how my days / weeks are going here to remind myself that this is important and I can do it!! Here is to weight loss glory!! hurrah!!
In other news Green advised me today that our tickets to see Glee live in London have arrived, I am very excited by this news as this is one of my many social calendar entries for 2011. Only down side is we have to wait until June, but it will be a fab day out in London!
Work is getting busier by the day, Sam (my manager) clearly thinks I'm good at the job because he is giving me loads of responsibility and to top it off I am getting so much praise from other people I am worried my ego wont fit through the door soon. Not bad for only being there a month if I do say so myself! Long may it continue.
I would just like to add, Michael McIntyre says that traffic on a Friday.....Its a nightmare, I can confirm he is wrong, traffic on a Monday now that is a fricking nightmare. I have never had as much issue getting to work as I did yesterday it took me over an hour for a journey that at worst should only take 40 mins. Then to top it off I put the traffic report on the radio and the best report they could come up with was "the motorway is very busy" OBVIOUSLY!!! They don't believe in telling you why, giving you a valid reason for the fact you haven't moved from one spot for 10 mins they just seem to like pointing out the fact you cant move!! Its just rude, give me a god damn reason would you!!! Anyway traffic related rant over now.
Some progress on the housing front, yesterday me and Alan put together a list of 6 properties to view at the weekend. Mum kindly booked most of them in for us today however the two we wanted to see the most have gone (typical) but we still have 4 to see and going by the photos all seem really nice. I am not going to get my hopes up this time but the law of averages surely has to be on our side??
So until next time......."Never let the fear of striking out keep you from playing the game"
