I've made a bit of a break through

My friend got married last week, aside from looking beautiful, she was sooo skiny, in a good way. The rest of the bridsmaids were slim as well. It was then, that I think I had an epiphany. I knew I could not continue gaining weight. The pictures the next day told a very sad tale. I look short and fat! Just horrible.

After I got knocked off my bike, I started jogging in the mornings. I try to get out jogging around 6-6.30 am so that I can get back, shower and change and still avoid traffic on the way to work.

I had some ups and downs with food; I went to an industry dinner one night and then the other night, I went to a friend's leaving do/baby shower. On each occasions, couldn't resist the food, but I made sure to go jogging the next day. I hardly saw any movement on the scale. Then, then morning, I'd lost 5lbs! Yeah me! From 12st 3lbs, down to 11st 10lbs.

Today, I'm heading to Birmingham for an exhibition at which my company is exhibiting. I'm taking my gym clothes so I can exercise at the hotel gym.

Surprisingly, my carb cravings are under control but I'm taking some chicken and veg with me to stop me craving junk on my long drive.
