43rd Day: In With the Old

Wee bit of celebration!!!
Good news, I wore the biggest pair of slacks that I owned in 2005 today!!! The pants were intended to be worn as baggy/loose (wide legged and all) but I'm not complaining. IT fits! I cant wait for the other clothes to start fitting me!!!!



Other than that, I'm on plan and deviation free with the scale stuck on my gains. I sometimes want to kick that scale. Right now, I think I'm more concerned about buying another 3 mos of support from the online clinic than the weight loss itself. I shouldn't be spending USD 159!!!

A friend was visiting the country and I met her for dinner. I ate my packed meal and enjoyed the chat. It was good to see her.



Day 43: Deviation free.

30th Day: Relaxing

No, this is not me nor my bathroom. How I wish! :)
So I'm following through my plan of taking this break by relaxing in the comfort of our home. All of my friends are all travelling on their own, which I cant help but be jealous of. But hey, I have to make the most of it in any way that I can.

Yesterday, my body woke up before 5am! How about that? But I didnt get up (yikes). I chose to roll around the bed, my alarm going off at 06:30 and 07:30. I managed to get in some more sleep and got up at around 08:40-ish. Feel bad for bf, he had to go to work at 06:30....

Made breakfast, had coffee, did nothing. Listened to books and watched a few episodes of Friends for a good laugh. I havent laughed out loud in a while, so it felt good. 

BF came home from his morning shift and we watched the Alienist. He went for his afternoon/evening shift, I made my lunch and ate on time and prepared my DIY stuff which I have available at home.

1. Hair mask - fresh aloe vera + egg yolk + olive oil -> washed my hair off with sulphate-free shampoo and conditioned it really well. Leave on conditioner post bath.

2. Face scrub /mask - egg white + oats + honey -> toner + face oil

3. Foot scrub - whilst the hair and face mixture(s) processed, I gave myself a foot scrupband used Footlogix stuff which I bought some time ago. Their scrubber (?) is the best. So if you've got some thick ass dead skin on the soles of your foot, this is the best thing you can own for that (Im not paid whatsover to say this). Followed it up with the moisturizing mousse.

Watched more of Friends, laughed some more.

BF came home and we finished the Alienist. Had my dinner.

A totally relaxing day, not worrying about a thing. I kinda feel guilty though. Today I have more stuff to do and will squeeze in a bubble bath and a luxurious oil/salt body scrub at no cost. A friend gave me a relaxing body scrub with essential oils plus a body cream for Christmas that I have used only once. And another one has gifted me for our move-in day a year ago with a bubble bath plus bath salts that I used about twice. So I guess its time to utilize those. I'm lucky I have awesome products at home! 

Lovely.

Day 30: All meals, crackers and vits taken on time. Deviation free.

Day 28-30: All in a roll weekend



I had a really good weekend with friends. We did nothing as planned but we still ended up having fun anyway. I am amazed on how good I was in the face of all the temptations that I could have succumbed to during our time together. Slept late on all nights. Hmmm... but TOM is almost done and Im hoping for the normal state of things.. please!
 
I need my peace of mind.
 
 
Day 28:
 
Nothing to report about work, same old grind. Didn't really feel hungry during the day but lower tummy was so bloated. Met my friends in the evening and  felt like we went around the world in just one night:
 
Irish pub - after work, we headed down to the pub beside our workplace (theirs and mine which falls in between our buildings :D). they had a few beers, chips and cheesy bread! nyum! chatted the night away and I had my dinner at 8:30. Ordered 2 DC's throughout.
 
Lush - then when we were done eating and drinking we went to Lush to try on some of their stuff and I ended up buying items for me which I think were really good. Let's see over the next weeks.
 
Waitrose - was so thirsty but so stingy that we wanted to buy water from the grocery and not from anywhere else :D so we went and I bought me some spinach and mushrooms.
 
Mexican restaurant - its almost 12 mn and they wanted to try the guacamole that was made in front of you. The restaurant prepares your guacamole fresh and they ordered nachos with it. I sat there looking and chatting with them! I would have loved to try it, but I figured the restaurant will still be there by the time I finish with Refeed and maybe I will try it then.
 
Reached home at almost 2am! They placed their beers in the freezer and we sat outside still chatting.. We wrapped up at 4am!! :D
 
Day 28: deviation free, yet slept so late. 1 fruit under allowance
Mood = good but body is heavy
Hunger = none
 
Day 29:
 
Due to the very late night, well we woke up at 10:30am! I had to rush to make my veggies so I can still maintain the last meal at 9am. We didn't know what to do so I told them about coffee scrubs. I keep my used coffee grounds for such scrubs and since I don't have the patience to do it regularly, I have more than enough to scrub all of us. I heard its good for your cellulite and all. Just mix used coffee grounds + VCO + honey. So that's what we did, we took turns, like a spa day at home :D And of course we tried our Lush products and testers too. I liked everything I got so far.
 
Spent some time lounging around watching Chopped or Hotel Impossible. Lunch at 4, then we went to the mall where you can find everything! Cheap shopping.. Dropped them around past 7 and I went for a spit braai.
 
The braai was for my bf and his colleagues and I was invited too. I didn't have anything but my food. I ate at 9 at home and went back to the braai and had shisha, chat and good laughs. Went home at 12:30am. Slept around 1am.
 
Day 29: deviation free, slept late again. 1 fruit under allowance
Mood = good, TOM had started to flow.
Hunger = nah. its all good.
 
Day 30:
 
Lazy day. I missed my appointment at the pilates place. :/ We started late and went to collect the last 2 kitchen chairs that I had re-upholstered and looked at cars (Dodge, GMC, Chevrolet) Bf had to check some cars for work. I miss my dodge... hmmm.. Ate lunch around 4:30 in the car. Home at 8 and I read a book outside, weather was nice. But at 10, boom! humidity! just like that.. don't know what's wrong, but I guess weather is changing soon.
 
Day 30: deviation free, 1 fruit under allowance.
Mood = good but tired
Hunger = none. Only when I watch Chopped :D
