    The wino returns (or woni, as I first typed :o) Today I have the Mother of all hangovers. We went out with some other friends last night and drank all sorts - champagne (not ordered by me I might add) wine, baileys, vodka, sambuka! Urghhhh, I really am not a drinker and although it was a great night, I have suffered today. Most notably at Tap Dancing :eek:

    On a brighter note, my Dad and I went to collect my discounted cabinet and it looks lovely. DH asked what I was going to put in it and I said I didn't know.
    "Oh." he said deadpan "That was worth it then" :cool:

    In money news, the lovely EGG wrote to me to say that after careful consideration, they are reducing my credit limit! :rotfl::rotfl: :rotfl: Take it - the card has been cut up and shortly it will be sent back to them when I close the account!!! Can't wait for that day.

    Well Gill, I didn't exercise yesterday and doubt I will today, but tomorrow I'll be back on it with a long run, followed by some belly fat blasting! Tomorrow is my weigh-in day, so I'll see if last night harmed my efforts.....
    I tried to pre-plan what I was going to eat last night and was panicked when I saw it was mainly pasta and pizza, but ended up eating haddock without the mash :A
    I've yet to add up how many calories I drank though :o:o:o

    Can't have been that bad a night if you can remember how many drinks you had in order to add the calories up

    Don't count the calories for the alcohol......it was a much deserved night out so doesn't warrant worrying about! Just love the fact that you had a good night - even if you are paying for it 24 hours later!!

    And at least for your bottle collection you can blame it on there being 2 of you - I will get a reputation as a lonely lush if anyone sees my bin......I have to take it to the bottle bank under cover of darkness :o

    Good Morning

    Well, hypno the calories of alcohol this week added up to over 1100! :eek: That is an exception rather than the norm, but I still feel rough this morning :o

    I've weighed myself and have lost.......nothing! I'm gutted but it *is* my Star week as they say in SW and I have lost an inch from my waist :j I do *feel* slimmer and lighter, so hopefully next week it will show on the scales too.

    No exercise for 3 days, so today I will be going for a run - not yet though as it's lashing down here - and then I'll do some of my DVD.
    I had thought we might go out for the day, but I've got a ton of ironing to do and the kids homework etc, so I think we'll just stay home and snuggle up.
    This house is such a happy place to be, that I really don't want to be anywhere else on a weekend now. It's definitely lowered stress levels considerably :)

    Hope you all have a good day x

    Don't be gutted - it was probably because it was only on Friday that you had your drinks! Bet you have a good loss next week!

    There is no point in negative thought, it takes up time and energy which could be used in a positive, happy way!

    Thanks RED and DT :A I've stayed within my calories because I've been exercising and I do feel in control and determined to carry on with it.

    The girls had a friend over to sleep last night. This morning I woke to them carefully explaining to her how they had worms :o:o:o
    Little DD, said "......yeah, and my Mum had to look in my bum..." MORTIFIED!!!!! :eek: :rotfl:

    I love this - and it sums up how I feel too. You and I made some incredibly good decisions in 2010 :D
