What am I doing?!

208. Seriously.

I need to go to WORK. I never, ever want to see 210 again.

Boy break

Never thought I'd be saying this, but for the purposes of focusing on my weight loss and fitness regime (ha! as if I have a "regime") I need a break from boys.

Or specifically I need to stop a) texting 'C' instead of doing anything else b) being addicted to okcupid c) going on dates with other boys on top of a) and as a result of b). Note: me and C are openly un-serious hence c) not making me a cheat in light of a).

So the above probably explains some of the tiredness I was complaining about in my last post (no just dating and texting not lots of getting jiggy in the small hours, or not too much anyway). However, it also contributes to the destruction of my goals in other ways. Here is how having boys around tricks me into not achieving my goals:
  
"Some boys like me, I must be thin enough...I'm going to eat chocolate!" - I am not losing weight just to get boys (that's only a small part of it ;) ).

"If I run today I will be too tired to see this boy tonight/tomorrow/in 4 days" - 'Hos before bros girlfriend, and by 'hos I mean myself, le goat girl, and by bros and I mean whatever boy I am talking about. If I'm too tired for them, eff them.

"Getting jiggy burns calories anyway" - How often have you got jiggy lately compared to going to the gym hmmm? What's that? You've not really got jiggy at all but have still not gone to the gym? I suspected as much.

In conclusion it's time to focus on doing the dirty, as in working up a sweat, as in going to the gym...what did you think I meant, you perverts?! :P

p.s. Yes I did use the term "getting jiggy" several times above. Deal with it.

p.p.s. I went for a run today, it was awesome, I'm going for another one tomorrow. I will let you know all the hot and sweaty details tomorrow - far more itneresting than my "love life" I'm sure!

Social life vs Weight loss

Life remains good but consequentially bad in Goat world.

 Eh? Good but bad? Je ne comprends pas!

Good because my social life is buzzing right now.

Bad because a buzzing social life means a) no gym trips last week and b) a lack of sleep = sugar cravings.

I am recovering today by having a much needed pyjama day today...might do some sewing later (I will post the beautiful results if I do - I've got a tote bag I've been meaning to finish for ages).

So how to find a bit more balance? Well, I mentioned this to my wise housemate (who always manages to get her gym trips in) and she made the good point that as it's important to me I need to be scheduling gym trips/runs in as I would any other social engagement. As a naturally unorganised person who relies heavily on my diary this made some sense to me, thus this morning I have gone into DIARY ATTACK mode.

These are the results for next week's evenings:
Monday - 6pm food drop, 7pm run home from food drop, 2.5 miles (requires me being organised about running stuff today before work!)
Tuesday - 6pm work event, 8pm walk home 3.3miles
Wednesday -  6pm Street dance class til 7
Thursday - 5.40pm Spin class, 7.30pm music concert at Southbank
Friday - 6pm drinks with J, walk home
Saturday - nice weekend run
Sunday - home for mother's day


I've also decided I need to be a bit more selfish to allow myself to fit in more sleeping, which is a key issue in my ongoing weight loss, in that I don't get enough of it and this really shows on the scales. You can see this reflected in the lack of a cinema trip on Wednesday.

I'll keep you posted on how my regimented week goes (hopefully less cheese and red wine than this week!)
