Take it all, but you won't take my cheese!

Missed a gorgeous day outside today by lying in bed feeling hungover. 
Had such a ball last night, dancing and having a good aul laugh with the gang. 20 of us turned up so it was a good mix of people all in good spirits!

First time since having the baby I stayed out til finishing time and was still full of energy when the clubs closed, but jumped into a taxi and came home to have drunken munchies. Had a bagel with salami and cheese and a cup of Earl Grey and burned me tongue and the rest of me mouth so badly that my taste buds went on immediate strike and are showing no signs of returning. 

The diet starts again tomorrow. No alcohol, no white bread or pasta and back on the exercise pony and plenty of water to keep hydrated. My other diet rules include portion control, always start with a salad, eating slower so the brain and body has time to register when I am full to avoid over-eating. And the mighty important, no snacking in between meals. And healthy swaps help a great deal. The plan is to get rid of the last bit of muffin top and lovehandle by june as I'm planning to wear a gorgeous dress for my cousin's wedding in a comfortable size 8.  I'm not looking to just fit in it, I can do that now, but fit in it perfect, with absolutely no chance of spillage or awkward bumps making appearances. I reckon a loss of 5-8lbs. will do it. So nothing major, no hunger strike or eating dissorder needed here, just a bit of moving and grooving and a bit less cheese-ing. 

I am actually pretty sure that if I just stayed off eating cheese for a few weeks the 8lbs would drop away without doing any exercise at all, as I do love my cheeses, but I really don't wanna lose weight in a way that I can't keep up afterwards because the weight is only gonna creep back on after and most likely with a few extra pounds. And it really wouldn't be possible for me to give up cheese anyway. It just isn't possible. And I eat good anyway, I'm allowed to have this one thing! Damn it.
