so...

if there's one thing I know in my heart, it's not to give up without a fight.

If my friend still ends up leaving the state then there's not much I can do, short of trying to hold them to my running gag of "that's ok, i'll pick you up on my way to Brisneyland"

I've started writing down everything I eat again, which I highly recommend you do if you feel you need to lose weight.... not count calories so much, but do if for a couple weeks, then either take the list to a GP or nutritionist and make them circle all the stuff you probably shouldn't be eating... school-room style!

I mean, alternatively do if yourself... you will know which things are bad. This is about the only thing that has worked for me in the past, the last time I felt this random.

I'm very guilty of drinking lots of softdrink, so it'll always freak me out when I add up the quantity I've drunk over a fortnight. I haven't started Yoga again yet but that will be next week I hope. At least I got to ride my bike last weekend! Two days in a row! WOOHOO!

Have started reading "STUPID WHITE MEN" by Michael Moore. One thing I did want to do this year was read about politics... I think this is a good way to start.

It's damned freezing!

I saw Nick Barker + Southpaw play at the Grace Emily last night. I also caught up with my dashing musical genius friend Luke who is just fabulous! We have made a pact to go to the Grace every fortnight or something, because neither of us had been there in a while and I'd forgotten how utterly great it was. I drank way too much again, I just hope I didn't make too much of a mess of their bathrooms. *yuk, bad visual I know*

My level of alcohol consumption kind of concerns me now, but I hope I can start to behave a little bit more when the mission gets more into full swing. I've been pretty happy with my progress, up until today when I had to go buy hot chips + gravy! That's so bad! I hate that I can't control that sometimes! I always get half way through and think 'yuk' and don't eat the rest. So it's on to apricots and apples tonight for me, whilst I watch my favourite night of TV all week. I don't know what is going to happen to me when they stop with Sex + The City... bah! I wish that show went for ever, it's totally my favourite. I hope they replace it with something just as good on a Monday. Come on Channel 10, don't let me down now!
