Day 50 - Thursday, 6th November 2008

Oh. My. God. I have been without chocolate, cakes and coca cola for 50 fricking days! And in those 50 days I have lost 36lb! I think I am actually starting to put it into some kind of perspective now. I was a little disappointed with "only 3lb" last night. But when I actually thought about it. If I was on a different diet, I would be over the fricking moon with 3lb. I am still on track to lose 4 stone by the end of foundation on 17th December 2008. So why the hell am I beating myself up?
I am a bit more focused because of it though. Perhaps I needed that little kick in the butt by losing less than what I wanted to lose, that I need to do things properly. Yes, I did lots of excercise, but in missing foodpacks out, I am starving my body of minerals and vitamins and I can't really be surprised then that I retain that!
So right now, I have a bottle of water on my desk, I have had my peanut bar for lunch and I am feeling positive about the week ahead. I am planning on decluttering the house by Sunday so hopefully that will help because it is in effect, excercise.
Because my parents are on a Cruise for a fortnight, my brother will be out of the house granny sitting which means that I am able to get it into a manageable state without him totally trashing the place every five minutes.
But I am not happy about the fact that out of everything we have to do for the granny's in the absence of the parental units, I am the one who has to take them out for a meal. I really don't manage well with the whole going for a meal thing. I have however thought about it. It's something I have to do. Therefore I need to form a plan. So I am taking them to the garden centre. Get them sorted with their food then I can wander around the aquarium or something for 15 minutes while they eat. Fa da. Everyone is happy! Might even buy myself a plant!
Yes, I think that Day 50 might be the turning point! Positive thinking winning through at last!
