well, I am now doing penance for Taybarns - have the awful stomach cramps i get after eating kebabs, fish and chips and all things unhealthy but really really tasty!
Thought I was pretty good though - had two plates of food and I did have pudding, but while everyone else had two plates piled full, I had a salmon and vegetable kebab on my first one with a spoonful of carrots (the only point free veg on offer - not impressed!

) and a spoonful of tomato pasta with roasted vegetables, and on the second plate I had a chicken and vegetable kebab and another spoonful of the pasta because it was really nice

then for pudding i treated myself to a slice of warm apple pie and a sensible spoonful of custard.. i think thats okay if I saved 20 points during week and had another.. 13 i think to use today? If not, going to go on bike in a minute for 15 minutes and destress before bed, and will be swimming again tomorrow anyway
However, felt really pants by the end of the night.. several comments were made about me which were turned into the table joke and one of them in particular made me feel really rubbish

Laura - a girl a few years older than me but one of the younger people who I normally go to town with after works do's, brought up Michael - a guy who I work with and get along with really well. He's old enough to be my dad, is married and has a five year old daughter but has a young mentality and I chat with him about geeky things like video games, television series etc.. and we mess on and act pretty childishly at work but he makes the day go a lot quicker and I enjoy working the most if I'm working with him as we know what needs doing, who will do what etc.. so somehow tonight at Taybarns we got onto the subject of sleeping with people, and it was mentioned that someone Laura had gone out with looked like "Micky Asha" (Michael) and her comment to that was "who would ever want to sleep with him? oh, well apart from you Rachael... dont even try and deny it.. its pathetically obvious.. infact its just sad." Then Karen (her sidekick) turns round and says "oh yeah while we're on the subject.. Michael says you frustrate him.. but dont worry its nothing like that.. you probably just annoy the crap out of him running round him like a lost puppy.. it really is just sad to watch" and then everyone laughed like it was a joke.. but it really got to me

I was feeling really good about myself - I'm in a size smaller clothes, I had my hair done and I'd spent time on my makeup and was looking forward to going out which I dont get to do much, and when I get out they say stuff like that, and fair enough, they might just be joking but the joke is ALWAYS at my expense i feel..
anyway, heres a picture I took today - I was feeling really good in my new outfit, even though I am short and my trousers are too long.. haha

Even though I dont look amazing and I have more weight to lose, I already feel more confident in myself and I look better than I did.

well, one more day until weigh in, and hopefully I will be down another point each day

over and out!
