3 Weeks until Dubai!

Seriously, where did last week go?! I'm sure I say this each Wednesday when another week has passed and I'm even closer to my holiday. Good news is that I *think* I'm looking a bit better for all the exercise I've been doing lately. Might bring my monthly weigh in/measurement check forward a week to see if I've made any actual progress or if its all in my head!

1. Drink 2 litres of Water a Day check
2. Eat 5 Fruit/Veg a day check - Semi-check - Banana, Baby Spinach, Tomato, Red Onion, Avocado & Black Beans in the brownie (I'm sure the last two don't count!!)
3. Do Jane Fonda Abs workout every day FAIL - will make up for this today!
4. Do Squats, Ballet Squats, Single Leg Lunges, Butt Raises, Thigh Master (!), Calf Raises, Push Ups every day (at least 20 of each) check - same set up as before
5. Run 2 Evenings in the Week. pending
6. Exercise at least 5 times. check - 1/5 completed with a gym session earning me 346 calories
7. Plan Food for the day. check - but the homemade altered recipe vegan brownie I had for pud was unplanned, but at least it was nutritionally sound.

All in all not to bad, the brownies at the end of the day was a result of speaking to an idiot on the phone. I was trying to help them, but they kept talking over me and raising their voice. As I don't really do 'lovey lovey' customer relations I raised my voice further and put them back in their place, made them feel really small and finally got them to listen (oh the cut-throat world I work in). I was talking to the 'President' of a company, but that matters not. Doesn't matter who you are, if I'm trying to help you and your not listening to me, you'll see a side of me that is rarely witnessed! At 4.45pm it was really the last thing I wanted to be dealing with and as a result I left work late and in a bad mood. So I needed cake!

Today hasn't started that well either, clearing up the mess from my phonecall yesterday resulted in me spending 3 hours (yes 3 hours!) drafting a follow up email to my call to clarify everything I've said. As a result of that, I just suddenly realised that it was 11.30am, I've not had my pre-gym snack and its nearly gym time. So I've pushed the gym back an hour and will go about 12.30pm. Things can only get better eh?
