Boobless, clueless and speechless/wordless
Well, the title says it all really. It's just been one of those weeks. Now I'm so tired I've forgotten how to sleep and can't remember which one of the above I lost first!
Eleven weeks in to my diet and new exercise regime and I have lost two stone and toned up massively. Hurrah! What's not quite so hurrah is that the weight is all shifting first from the places I least need/want to lose it; namely my bust and arms instead of my stomach and hips!
Truth is with Christmas looming large, I'm also rather doubtful about how long it's going to take to lose the remaining three stone. Still, at least the run up to Xmas is leaving me with little time to think about food.
Being very considerate people in my family, there are a large number of birthdays this time of year, leaving me twice as many presents to buy. And we won't even go into the cost, by the time I've finished sorting Santa's gifts. (NB Whoever invented Father Christmas should be shot!) At least the kids are easy to buy for though. I'm absolutely clueless when it comes to some of my husband's many relatives and am tired of dragging kids round the shops looking for stuff! (Before anyone says it, the internet is only useful once one has a vague idea what one's shopping for. And yes, there may be xxx shopping days left till Christmas, but we already seem to have most prebooked for birthday parties, nativity plays, meals and drinks!)
Anyway, on to more important things. I'm also clueless when it comes to what to put on/use my blog for next. In fact, I'm totally devoid of any writing inspiration of any sort; completely speechless or wordless ( as some may have noticed from the way my posts for the Messages project dwindled dramatically at the end of last week). So if anyone finds any of my words out there wandering about, please let me know. (Yes, you're right, I really have flipped this time.)
Comments, Pingbacks:
I'm so glad we're avoidung Christmas hype - just one secret santa present (and i've already bought mine) and that's it!
I hope you all have a happy time xx

03/12/07 @ 10:32 I'd warned one set of friends that I was on a strict no fat diet [medical]and not to be offended if I didn't eat very much while at their house. Nevertheless, the hostess had a table full of food dripping with fat, and got really huffy when I kept saying, no thank you.
We were in Tescos on Saturday, and all you could hear was children crying/ grizzling/screaming.
We'd gone there for specific CD that I couldn't find on Amazon and it was a good reminder not to go in there again. At least not until Christmas is over.

Dids,
Yes, I have had that problem too. It's not that my friends take offence if I say no, thank goodness. But some of them do seem to keep offering me things like chips. I'm not sure if they've always done so and I've only just noticed since I started dieting. It is frustrating though, and this time of year is particularly hard, as I also love mulled wine!
