I've had a very nice day today and an excellent food & drink day but nevertheless I'm feeling very bloated & frankly FAT!! Not a great word as (like Ms) it's not a word you can say without 'spitting it out' and sounding miserable too.
Over the last few days I've been feeling 'slimmer', felt I've looked better & generally been quite pleased with myself but today I've spent a great deal of time in front of mirrors :-( and they weren't flattering.
Firstly I had my roots done this morning - this (as those of you who have grey hair & cover it!! will know) involves having your grey bits covered and then sitting in front of the mirror reading a magazine while it soaks in! I love this bit if for no other reason I get to read gossip mags that I haven't paid for & drink coffee that someone else has made :) But every now and then you catch yourself in the mirror and the double chin I'd convinced myself had gone still seemed to be there - now I admit that this process isn't designed to have you looking at your best but it is an absolutely honest assessment of your features!!
Then when I move on to the fabulous Darren to have my haircut I have to take my glasses off - this is the good bit as I can see nothing whatsoever but when he's finished & I look fab (see below)
Sorry about the light beaming down but you can still see the lovely cut & colour.
However to know it looks fab I put my glasses back on & caught sight of my knees in the full length mirror - certainly haven't lost any weight there!!
After this I went home - to collect Dom for our shopping trip.
I had a quick shower & changed.
Oh & had to empty out my garage freezer which has died after 21 years - unfortunately it had been fairly full of meat, fish, & other frozen stuff which I had to chuck out It was dying anyway but it appears that 'someone' left it open after taking an ice-cream out - GRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!! - & now it's just gone phut after freezing itself to death!
Next off to Watford to buy the (unexpectedly expensive) things Dom needed for his DofE Gold expedition - who knew a properly waterproofed & weatherproofed jacket and the correct size rucksack would cost so
much?
Then to M&S for suits - but didn't get that far as we looked into BaronJon - if your son needs suits for shul/school I'd highly recommend it. Excellent service and good choice - bought two suits, three shirts and two ties for under £350 - not cheap but they had long line jackets & trousers that fitted.
However whilst waiting I accidently took this photo
OMG - when standing up I look quite good (or so I thought) but sitting down my fat bum & thighs are hanging over the side of the chair - reality check has hit home really hard today BUT..............
I didn't succumb in the way I usually do & have a big fat binge - I remembered that I'm working hard, I'm going for the 'long game' and also Dom was with me so there was no way I could get away with it!!
He even made me walk up to the second floor of the car park instead of getting the lift (it's eight flights!!!).
Anyway these are my thoughts for today.
Hope your day has been good - have a great weekend.
