| The hairdresser's was good, for a change... often I see the time at the salon as "wasted time", where I could be doing something more useful. At the moment, however, with ever lengthening "to do lists", I appreciated the enforced relaxation (even if I forgot my relatively new reading glasses so simply looked at photos and headlines in the magazines!!)
If you're restrained during the week, and have "some fun" (not pigging out!) at the weekend, you'll find your weight stays stable. That's how I did it "before"... I'm trying to equalise things a little over the week, as I think it's better for me to do this and even my psyche seems to agree as I didn't even bother to eat all I'd planned for my Sunday evening (a never heard of event!).
I'm using the: "yes you can have [whatever]; next week" method to keep any *chattering voices* in check... of course next week I won't want [whatever] or will have forgotten the urge, so that's a good tip to pass on!
I finished a baby jacket, AND found an almost knitted cardigan I'd set aside oh some five years ago, so am now finishing that! It took me about an hour to figure out where I was and what I was actually knitting (as there were round and v neck pattern and plain versions on the same pattern!)... busy hands help mouth remain empty!
