Me from a year ago, I had so much more time on my hands.
I lost 1.1kg this week.
I'm doing aqua-fitness twice a week and I haven't been drinking alcohol.
Last time I went drinking I had way to many beers and started drinking Smirnoffs and Bundy & Coke. I have an incredible ability to rationalise this high sugar intake. I think "oh but I never go out in Sydney any more, its just one night, its a treat". That would be ok if it was one treat. But I don't have one drink. I have twenty drinks. And I haven't really done anything to deserve twenty treats.
I know beer and alco-pops contain carbs, but they also encourage you to eat greasy take-away food in the wee small hours of the night, and more greasy takeaway the next day as hangover cure. It is more the behaviour that the loose-inhibitions produce.
Maccas is hangover cure, and Yeeros (Oxford St) is Sydney tradition, and Oasis Kebabs (Beaumont St) is a Newcastle tradition.
So there is the dilemma: do you try to break the habits associated with the activity, or avoid the activity altogether?
I went to pub trivia without drinking. I made myself designated driver and sat on the lime and soda all night.
I guess a benefit of drinking less is spending less.
*shrug*
Boring food, boring life.
Well Mardi Gras will be an opportunity to let loose. Something to get excited about. My wig came in the post today, I am extremely excited. I hope the day's not too hot.

I am back on Tony Ferguson.
I lost 1.4kg this week, my first week back.
I mostly miss eating bread, I love bread. There are plenty of sweet sugar substitutes but nothing can replace soft white bread.
I had chinese food, garlic chicken, without the rice (well, I snuck a couple of tablespoons of rice) one night, and a few bottles of passion pop another night, but I have largely stuck to keeping off the carbs.
I've been having tinned fruit with a scoop of the "no added sugar" icecream, or a Skinny Cow sundae, plus oodles of low joule jelly. I also snack on cashews and Sugarless chocolate. For drinks I have low joule cordial, Coke Zero, Waterfords pink grapefruit soda, or plain soda water.
I bought the "Restart" package that included the multi-vitamin, fibre, chromium (yes, I think of Erin Brockovich every time I see that word), cookbook, magazines, and new shaker etc.
I am going to water aerobics tomorrow night with one of my super-fit friends. It has been recommended to me for so long as a way of managing chronic back pain, so when I heard someone I knew was doing it I jumped at the opportunity.
Ive got a few things going on with study and work opportunities, which I will go into more detail about later, but I hope I dont use them as an excuse to fall off the Tony Ferguson wagon again.
