New profile pic

I have been using the same profile pic on a lot of sites for too long (about 3 years) and I have been told that it is no longer representative of how I now look. I’m never quite sure how to take that sort of comment but either way I have had a go at taking a new picture of myself.

I finally have my plumbing sorted, so I can fully use all my facilities again. It’s a good thing it was starting to mess with my plumbing.

I’m trying my best this week but I’ve not been as good as I would like but there is plenty of time left this week to rectify that.

Back to normal

Well I think my life has recovered from the experience of my parents visiting. The excess alcohol has left my system and I finally got a fully working plumbing system on Wednesday. They are threatening to come back for a week and basically use my flat as a base, tour the area borrowing my car. Hopefully it’ll be a while before that happens!

It doesn’t appear to have done much damage to my weight as I’m the same as I was two weeks ago. I’m still 3lbs short of my mini goal and I’m hoping to get there this week.

I’ve decided to do my grocery shopping online again as I’m struggling to resist the temptations as I go round the supermarket. I put the list together one day then go back the next to order so I can add anything I’ve missed and remove any impulse buys.

I think the main theme for this weekend is relaxation.

Hope you guys all have a good weekend!

Parents = Stress

My parents spent the weekend at my place, they flew home at lunchtime and the best thing I can say is thank goodness that is over. I have been off plan, mainly through the booze but my eating could have been a lot worse, with a couple of exceptions. I’ve been stressing about this for a while and it was in most ways better than it could have been.

Unfortunately a couple of things happened yesterday which I could really have done without. I ended up on the sofa bed as my dad refused to sleep in it and instead of getting the sofa bed out I just slept on the sofa. At 6:00am Sunday morning I woke up with an agonising pain in my knee. It had locked and I couldn’t straighten it. It still hurt now.
We were due to go out for lunch and while my mum and I were getting ready, my dad had noticed that my sink was draining a little slowly so he decided to sort it out. To cut a long story short ALL the plumbing in my flat is now draining via my shower tray. After a misunderstanding with my letting agents I am now waiting for a plumber.

Tomorrow it’s back on plan with hopefully a renewed motivation but for now it is time to read some blogs and find some food that doesn’t involve any plates etc.

Aversion to blogging

I haven’t blogged in a couple of weeks, I keep coming to the site but I haven’t even commented on many blogs. I lost 1lb last week and gained it again this week. It is not a shock, I’ve been off plan and even at some points mini-binging.

My parents are coming to stay for a few days on Thursday so that isn’t going to help.

I just feel really detached from everything at the moment.
