Morning.
I woke up really early this morning - and Andy must have too because he left for work at 5.15am and I know he set his alarm for 6am.
Adam and Erika have left now - and I'm sat here feeling rather depressed after weighing myself. At one point last week I had lost 11.5lb - and after a weekend with Helen and Paul and a few days with Adam and Erika - all involving eating and drinking - I am have now only lost 7.5lb. How I can put that much on in less than a week is beyond me - especially as that takes weeks to lose!
Another reason that I am not feeling very happy is because of this: We booked a holiday to Jamaica for next year. So when we booked it we had over a year to wait. It was expensive and involved an upgraded amazing room with a butler and premium flights. However, I had to wait to April this year to attempt to use my air-miles to upgrade to first class. I called them yesterday and could only upgrade the flight there as the return flight had sold out. Okay - not bad - first class there would still be awesome!! As we were coming to the end of the process of upgrading (after 43 minutes on the phone) the woman said - oh....you need to have paid the holiday off in full and have had your tickets issued, otherwise you cant use your points to upgrade. Now the problem here is that we were going to cash in shares to pay for it - and when I spoke to Andy - we don't quite have enough. The whole thing made us realise that this is a lot of money that we don't really have. So instead of having a first class flight to an amazing holiday in Jamaica - it looks like we might just cancel the holiday.
Cancelling is probably the most sensible thing to do - especially if we want to finish the work on the house. We could use that share money towards the work.
Anyway....was planning on a 10km run - try out my new trainers and burn off some of my fatty fatty blob blob self. But it has started to throw it down outside - and I can't do 10km on the running machine it is too boring and it's too easy to quit.
Oh well.....decisions decisions. I'm going to look on line for a part time job.....
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Well the search for a part time job was over quickly....so as Lissa and Andy both said to me - just go for the run in the rain - I did! I ran 10.1km in 1hr 10m...in the rain for the first half - and wishing it was raining in the second half! Kept my old trainers on because I didn't want to risk them rubbing on a longer run - and I didn't want to get them muddy lol.
I felt much better after having been for a run - and I tidied up and did some washing etc. and went and had a bath. Kitten May kept me company - making me nervous that she was going to fall in!!
May sticking her leg into the bubbles...
May for some reason seemed to want to bite the bath tub!
So - now I am waiting for Andy to come home - I'm cooking chicken with chorizo baked potatoes. Looking forward to eating quite well tonight and chilling out, and not drinking alcohol (even though some red wine would go down nicely!)
