New bike!!

Kenny got me this for our 9 year "anniversary" on 11 August! He is so adorable! I love that guy!!

For the last few weeks, I had been thinking about getting a bike - as I have been so inspired by Bitch cakes and her biking adventures on her gorgeous "Hello Kitty" bicycle in New York! She got to goal just recently and she is just awesome! So I had been looking online, and just thinking about what kind of bike to get. On Wednesday, Kenny was doing some overtime and texted me asking if I wanted to go to KFC (ha ha!) and he would pick me up from home on his way back from work. So, I thought this was an ideal time to go into the bike shop, which just so happens to be across from KFC!! So I was wandering around, and I was immediately drawn to the bike shown above! And then Kenny came over and said, "that is your bike, we're here to pick it up" I was just in shock!! He knows me so well! I almost started crying, but the bike guy was looking at me funny! lol

You can't really tell from the picture, but it is dark pink with butterflies on it - it's so cute - I totally love it!!! I went on it last night for a test ride and I ended up with about 5 kids running alongside me! And wanted to know what apartment I lived in so they could ask me to go out and cycle while they ran! Now anyone who knows me, knows I do not like children! lol They are too loud, cheeky and just messy - I much prefer dogs - they are cute, furry and do not talk back to you (well sometimes!! lol)

Kenny has also ordered himself a new bike, so we will be able to go bike rides together! I did suggest a tandem but he didn't like that idea!

On diet news, things are going BADLY! I have been stuffing my face with everything in sight for the last 3 weeks. I don't know why I do it. It makes me feel sick, guilty, horrible, fat! But I seem to wake up every morning and think "what can I eat first??"

My training at the gym has been good though! I had a half hour PT session on Monday and boy was that TOUGH. I then did the half hour spin class straight after my PT session and I loved it this time around! I really pushed myself and burned 700 calories all in during the hour! My legs and shoulders were so sore for four days afterwards. It's only now I feel I can walk properly again!

Only 3 more weeks until we leave for Florida!!! I am so excited!!! I need to get my diet under control and at least lose 10 pounds before I go.............. sounds easy, huh?!

Three time's the charm!

This is my third day blogging in a row! Yay! Go me! And not only that, but I went to the gym todaaaay! I had a personal training session and it was fabulous. I didn't mean to sound so down about my trainer in my recent post. I suppose I was looking for my "downfall" to be someone else's fault, when in fact it is I that has control over ME. I know ME better than anyone and I suppose I was trying to make it sound like it was the trainer's fault I came off my diet. She told me to eat HEALTHY, and not obsess about every little thing I put in my mouth. But I used that as an excuse to go absolutely nuts! I spoke with her about it today and she was very supportive. She is actually going back to college to study Psychology and said to come back and see her in 4 years when she will be able to tell me what's wrong with me! lol

Aaanyway! I had a great training session and I felt so much better - isn't that an amazing thing??? Exercise makes you feel gooood! And I think it helps when you look in the mirror - you somehow see a smaller you. Well I do anyway!

Tomorrow my diet will be CLEAN! I had a few slips today, but I caught myself in time and I have just thrown a pile of CRAP in the bin! No more of that stuff is going in this body! I have had a headache almost everyday since I came off my healthy eating regime. I know how to feel good and it's only a few healthy meals away!

I really need to start setting some mini goals again to help give me focus. I have 5 and a half weeks before my vacation!! Yikes! I know I won't get to my final goal weight by then, but I know that exercising and eating right will help me feel more confident and good about myself and I suppose that's the main thing at the moment!

So - here are my mini goals for tomorrow!

1. Drink at least 4 bottles of water (500ml size!) so that will be 2 litres!

2. Wear my Fit Flops around the house and when walking the dog.

3. Eat at least 3 servings of fruit and veg.

4. NO DIET SODA!!

5. Exercise for at least 30 minutes (probably running on the treadmill!)

6. Take some photographs :-)

7. Get up tomorrow at 7.30am (I am flexi time and lately I have been getting up waaay too late - about 9am!! - I am a lazy biotch!)

8. Go grocery shopping for healthy food!

9. Watch "Charmed" - this one will be easy!

10. Get to bed earlier!!

11. Track what I am eating.

Amelia, thanks for your comment! I know exactly how you feel. I don't if there is any liberation from the insanity! I suppose it's down to choice - we are choosing what we are eating - even though we know it's wrong! Maybe making more good choices than bad ones will eventually beat it?! - good for you for throwing the ice cream away - it's hard to do but you feel a million times better for having done it! I hope I find the answer to it one day - if I do I'll let you know!! :-)

Christina - the poppy seed dressing is amazing!! Sooo good!! You will not be disappointed!

Ok, I think I better get to bed if I have to be up for half 7!! Ha ha!!

Goodnight :-D
