I need some sleep.




















I'm sitting here at my desk nearly falling asleep. What a great weekend though, we all had the best time ever. My eating was pretty good but I probably shouldn't mention the world record we set for consumption of alcohol! (oops!!) LOL.

$600 worth of alcohol - and we ran out and had to go and get more. Hmmmm - some counselling might be required here I feel!!!!! Oops didn't I say I wasn't going to mention it!

This little guy above was one of many little friends who came calling at the house we stayed in. There were heaps of wallabies (unfortunately not the huge handsome football playing kind! haha), horses, parrots and cockatoos and also a sodding bush turkey who was very annoying (you have to kind of feel sorry for them, they're so damned ugly!!) who was very much like a feathered garbage disposal!

I did go for a walk on Saturday morning and my calves are still hurting. There were so many big hills and i'm used to walking on the flat! so I feel good about that, and I really did keep my eating under control, certainly compared to the old me! There were healthy choices and I made them 90% of the time.

I got thrown in the spa - fully clothed - don't worry I deserved it - it was after i'd tipped my dessert on my bosses heads (well at least I didn't EAT the calories! haha). I should have seen it coming, but I was good and didn't fight it - I took it like a man - so to speak!!

They didn't even wreck my $10 watch - damn I needed a new one!! hehe




Anyhoo, a great weekend was had by all and sundry. I look forward to next year's Christmas party where I will be at goal weight and 'strutting' will be the order of the day!!

You wil certainly be able to "strut" So you have invented a new way to save calories..not show how that would go over with many bosses though. Perhaps we should start a survey....

Good on you! I wonder if I can find someone to throw desserts at - that sound like a much more exciting way of resisting temptation. I'm pleased for you that you made lots of healthy choices - bet the scales will reflect that this week. I had to laugh at the pics of you in the pool. Very funny. And yes, I'm sure you did deserve it, you naughty little minx.

Sounds like you had a great time away - great spa story!! Next year you will not only be at goal, but you'll be running up those hills!

With my Christmas Lunch coming up next Thursday I shall remember the calorie saving trick with the desert LOL.

You are brilliant.

Hope you have sufficiently recovered and get plenty of sleep tonight. :D

I'm sure you'll make a more attractive strutter than that turkey!
