So before you think, oh it's the weekend, Mermaid blew it again, let me tell you what I did:

As P is going to be away all week (again), we decided to have some "quality time". Bush walking/sight seeing in 90 degree heat We spent the day doing just that and stayed in a motel at night. Food was OK, I was careful, no cheating, mostly meat/salad/lite dressing, no alcohol or sugar, though obviously couldn't weigh or measure. Not enough water though.

Got back Sunday am, went to the gym (lweights and cardio) then I went away with my job overnight and as I was rushed, didn't pack food. However, again, I was pretty strict.

So now it's Monday night, back from the trip. Just been to the gym, 30 mins HIIT and going to eat some cottage cheese and almond butter before bed.

Back to the detailed log tomorrow

Wednesday 9 November

Happy Birthday to me. I'm 36 today.

My boss (amazingly) wished me well and then said "so what star sign?". When I said Scorpio he said "OMG, I should have known" in very serious tones. Us Scorps get such a bad rap.

Anyway, I make resolutions on my birthday not Jan 1, after all, it's MY new year. This year is just the same as last year and the year before and the year before that. How sad does that sound? In fact I've had the same resolutions since 2001 when I was 135 pounds and had money in the bank (amazing how a divorce affects you):

1. Get fit and fabulous at 37!! (around 135 pounds and 18% bodyfat)
2. Invest 10% of take home pay
3. Learn to swim (I know, that's a pretty sad thing to admit - but I am petrified of water)

So, I start again, the same resolutions, another year older. Something tells me that I am going to have a better chance of it this year.

5.45am
Went to the beach and walked in soft sand for half an hour.

P called me so was late to work. Forgot to take supps.

8.30am
2/3 cup cottage cheese
5 prunes
10 almonds
