Monday 29 September
I get one day off a week, (because on Mondays I do freelance stuff on TV), and I felt like I completely wasted it on Sunday.
I came home from work on Saturday, went to bed at 9pm and slept until 930am. That was well-needed.
But by the time I'd done a 13 mile run in preparation for my race on 12 October, then ate breakfast, cleaned the house and gone grocery shopping I realised it was time to go out again. I stupidly agreed to judge a karaoke competition at a posh hotel becasuse I liked the old owner of the hotel. Something didnt add up when I spoke to the organiser of the actual comp, but i still decided to do it. But when I got to the hotel, I was informed the old owner had left. I had to spend more than two hours listening to terrible singers. I had to have a couple of glasses of champagne to get through it, (which isnt good as Sundays are my detox days). And then I got peckish and had some canapes. But it was so low-budget, they werent proper canapes they were sarnies with the crusts cut of. Ham and mustard, cheese and tomato and salmon and onion. Talk about retro.
I have to admit, I was quite rude and left before the winners announcement. But that was 1130pm and I was sooo angry with myself for wasting my rare night off.
The only good thing was I had a few minutes to write my lines for my TV project, becoz i needed something to take my mind of the dreadful singers.
Today Ive just been working on the freelance TV work, from 630am. Nerves overcome me on set, so I went to kfc on the way home and got some chicken and ice cream and washed it down with champagne. (Thank goodness I go running)
Best mate F texted me that her wannabe bloke kept cancelling lunch on her. But she could do so much better. He's married. She needs someone who loves her for her.
Thats what I need too.
But the plan of the week is to say NO to comfort eating and NO to too much booze (mainly becoz I want to be in optimum shape for the race)
And I'm also gonna say NO to myself when I get in a bad mood, (I make myself happy / unhappy) and NO to things that seem like they are a waste of time. This is a 'be good to your body and trust your instincts week'.
BRING IT ON!
