Day 24: Today's gonna be a good day

I can feel it. It is going to be a good day. I went out to dinner last night and sat there looking and smelling at all the yummy food being placed on the table. And all I did was look at it and drank my water. I had already had my dinner so knew that I wasn't hungry. Too many comments though such as "surely it can't hurt to only eat a little bit" or "go on, have some". But I didn't, because I didn't want to. And when I looked at all the food I realised that 1) most of it was fried and 2) other than the odd bit of watercress or decorative piece of asparagus, there were no veggies. Mainly pure protein and the odd potatoe wedge or other carb for the spring rolls, noodles etc. So once I got over the smell (which was very good), I actually was quite put off.

I was drinking water in a wine glass so that I didn't have to drink just the thimble-full that I had been given as a water glass. By mistake one of the waiters poured Cloudy Bay Sauvignon Blanc into my water. Unaware of this I took a sip, and I am very shocked to have to write here that it was disgusting. How can Cloudy Bay SB be disgusting??!!!! One of my favourite wines, but that may have been in a past life.......

Day 23: Hard day

Today's workout was hard. The leg lifts nearly killed me--and that was at the end. Whilst I was skipping I was laughing at myself for thinking that 300 skips was a lot! Ha!! Push ups I managed all on my toes, but barely moved. Just a slight dip but thought that that was better than nothing, that I had to start somewhere and maybe (big maybe) I could get better at it. The tricep dips also excruciating. Didn't realise I had become so adept at the other version with bent legs!

I did do lots of other things today, but my thoughts seem to be focused on the exercise.

Had dinner already and am going out for a few hours for "dinner", which will involve me drinking water and maybe having some evening fruit. Oh the joys, but I am shocked to say am not missing the wine!
