Cate - I got my ass out of bed this morning, drove home and watched it! It was such a good match. My heart went out to Grigor, it really did, but it just had to be Fed and Nadal in the final. I love them both, I think they are both fantastic sportsmen, come across as decent men, but it
has to be Roger to win for me. He's the underdog here, because Nadal can expose his weaknesses so well. I hope it's an epic 5-setter and we see some amazing play. One for the ages.
Sunflower, you changed your picture! Dream job news below. Weekend plans: exercise stuff tonight. Drinking. Tomorrow is a write-off. Sunday is a fab day of tennis watching and a road race. (Unless the tennis goes into 5 sets.)
M2, D28:
1. How did today go?
I had the best day. Really, 2 out 3 goals are beginning to come into fruition. I am thrilled. I'm also doing my usual Friday thing of getting drunk (alone) but I haven't figured out how to combat this yet. My friends are meeting up tomorrow night - I could have saved the getting drunk until then, but I didn't want to. It's sad when you would rather drink by yourself than with your pals.
I'm not going out tomorrow night for a few reasons. The first is that they are probably just going to drink in the house for the entire evening, which is lovely when you're married and you don't care about mixing with others, but where exactly is that going to get me? I'd rather drink alone. Same difference anyway. You talk the same old shite you always talk.
The second is that I am pissed off at a friend who has cancelled two weekends in a row of meeting up and had disappeared for quite a while before Christmas. I just hate when someone makes up excuses not to meet up. Just be honest. If you feel like shit and don't want to meet me, just say it.
2. How was your food and exercise?
Had a fast-pace boxfit class and then did the most wonderful yoga workshop this evening. The teacher is so great.
Weight was
11 stone 6 1/4 pounds. So pissed.
Cigs tomorrow.
Today's food was
tumeric.
Tumeric reduces inflammation, speeds up healing, relieves pain. Clearly a wonderspice.
Food today wasn't good. Don't know why I am craving so much shitty chocolate but I am.
- cornflakes, granola, 1 weetabix, milk; glass of orange juice
- 2 coffees and milk; 2 spice biscuits; 1 small dairy milk; handful of grapes
- chicken jalfrezi and brown rice
- yorkie rum and raisin bar
- mini jelly babies bag; kinder bueno bar
- 2 500ml Czech bar
- working my way through a bottle of white wine as we speak
3. Are you any closer to reaching your goals?
Hot body: I went to the yoga workshop and met a friend of my housemate that I haven't seen in a few months who told me I was looking really healthy and
tanned (?!). Anyway, it just proves the rest has worked, even though I really don't see it myself. But I feel strong and healthy and I think that is definitely being projected. I know from this diary, you probably only see all the cake I eat, the cigarettes I smoke, and my weekly excesses, but I promise you, it is better than it was.
Hot job: I am in the final 10 of the dream job! They will let me know next week if I made the final 5! I am officially in X Factor bootcamp!
