Day 127 - Thursday, 22nd January 2009

I am so freakin excited. I really can't control myself at all. I just have this stupid huge grin plastered on my face and I don't care what happens, it is not shifting. I have been spontaneous. And I like it! Ok, so what happened was that my lovely friend, Ra Ra told me she had a week off in March, and I was like, "I have 8 days to use before May, what can I possibly do!?" and three hours later, I have booked the same week off work and we've booked 4 days in Barcelona for £118.00!! Bargain.

I am trying not to think about the whole diet thing at the moment and just enjoy the positive things like being in my favourite city in the whole world again! Eeek! And it will be the first time I have been on an aeroplane since Florida last year and that was a tight squeeze. I am hopeful that I will have lost another 2 stone by then, so I can run around Barcelona without getting out of breath and I won't even think about the fact that I have "missed out" on food because I will be having too much fun trying to get all of the sights in over 4 days!!

It gives me something else to aim for too! I realised today that my interim target (to get to the same weight I was when I was in Sri Lanka) is a mear 16lb away now! I can do that. It's soooo close I can almost taste it! I'm pretty sure that I will get there by Valentine's Day. And maybe even another stone and a half by Barcelona. I feel so good about 2009. It really is looking like a good year. My diary is filling up and I am shrinking by the second. Must remember this thought for the next time I think "that biscuit won't hurt"!
