Well, again off the the gym today, only 42 gym sessions  til i don my bikini and the harpoons come out for the geordie version of Moby-Dick!

The diet thing is a pain in the ass, but sooo needs doing, i have my goal to get to, and i WILL suffer life without a glass (ehem....tends to be more bottle than glass) of wine most nights to make it through.
Another 14 weeks and 6 days reamining until take off and 16lbs to loose - thats what... 1.something lbs a week.
i seem to have become slightly obsessive about recording my calories and excercise on my little fitness pal app on my phone - "Eating disorders in the making - there's an app for that!"

its a fantastic, and slightly evil little toy.
it basically - for those less obessed with guilt tripping themselves into excecise and Hitler style controlled eating - is a little food diary.
When you set it up, you record bits like your weight (and yes, you have to be honest!), height, level of excercise and it tells you how many calories a day you can consume withought turning into a rather large sized weeble.
each time you dare to pop in what you have, or are thinking about eating it knocks those calories off your total, showing you what you have left for the day.
If you do excercise (oh the joy!) you pop that in too and it shows you what you have burned, and lets you know if you may have that extra half a kitkat finger after your 22 hours of "light stationary biking".

to add to the self bullying on your little phone, you can add your friends, and they can see that "Cheryl has completed her food and excercise diary for tday, and was under her calory goal" - whoop whoop arent i a good dedicated girl!
or.... "Cheryl has not logged on for 3 days" boo hiss, terrible, tut tut - how on earth can a bloody phone grass you up to the world for not daring to record the 2 bottles of red you downed during your night out with the girls!?
and all of this i have done to myself,, cos i added the bloody thing.

saying all that, and feeling rather bitter as i have just been publically outed to my friends for not logging on, its actually quite brillaint, and it does help - we hope!

42 gym sessions and 16 lbs to go.
lets see where we are Friday after weigh in - GULP!!!
