Ruth - you are so funny!! I should have just gone for it on that night out with Y..if it was ever going to happen, it would have been then! I've not contacted him for 2 weeks (and not heard from him either
) but will probably be back in his office before long. I'm a sucker for that sort of story as well - Remains of the Day had me stomping around for days! I will do my best to have an eventful enough love life that you can live through!!! I do get other offers you know...I'm not some completely daft desperate bint! Just X and Y have a particular twinkle in their eye that catches my eye - maybe just because I can't get what I want...and I don't want other guys who are too easily on offer?!?! Catch 22 I think...I want what I am not sure I can have but there's still enough of a possibility that its fun wanting it!
Just found out that not only am I presenting at Mr X's departmental event, I'm going to be there for the whole residential thing for a couple of days. Wish I'd lost more weight. PAH. Got a month left to blitz it. I want to look extra good when I turn up on my motorbike!
The last week has had its ups and downs. Working on a maintenance calorie count of 2300 per day:
Mon - 1700 (-600)
Tues - 1600 (-700)
Weds - 2200 (-100) - had to take my uncle and aunt out for dinner and they chose chinese...sigh...I didn't eat much all day though
Thurs - 1500 (-800)
Fri - 1900 (-400) - indian takeaway but I went for a tandoori grilled dish, just fell down on the naan bread
Sat - 900 (-1400) - ate more but went for a huge long walk for most of the day and burnt 400 cals at least
Sun - 1500 (-800)
Mon - 1300 (-1000)
Total deficit for week = 5,800 calories so should be 1-2lbs lighter at the least.
Today - 1200 calories (-1100)
At the weekend (wrong time of the month) I was back to 202lbs, so assuming some of that water retention etc... disappears, and with the calories this week, I should be back to 199. I'd like to set a target of 190 by the time I go to this event.
Friday 14 - 199lbs
Friday 21 - 196lbs
Friday 28 - 193lbs
Friday 5 - 190lbs
I'd feel pretty good if I can achieve that!
The other thing which is a bit weird - I picked up these slimming patches in Wilkinsons (iodine things) and have been wearing them for the last 2 days. I'm not sure I believe it, but I've felt distinctly unhungry. Not sure why - maybe its just the thought that they might work is making the difference. They only cost £2 for 2 weeks supply so I'm keeping up with fooling myself!
