Believe it or not I have actually lost 2lb this week, since I decided to stop dieting! Of course lol. Though this is not the strange thing I was meaning. I've taken myself away for a little mini break. Me, myself, I and the dog! I really wanted to go to that fantastic spa establishment which is my second home aka Ragdale Hall. But I couldn't face the 7-8 hour drive at this time of year. I did think about Scotland's only residential spa but it's not even half the place that Ragdale is, and was the same cost! So I googled hotel spas that were dog friendly. And here I am, Carnoustie!
It was a bargain. I booked a couple of treatments. There's a pool and sauna and steam room (jacuzzi is bloody broken). We are right next to the beach, which doggy has loved. She doesn't want to leave! The room has a sea view. Last night I had dinner in the restaurant - my first Xmas turkey dinner. Tonight I found a Chinese takeaway - Chicken Chow Mein here I come! Before I arrived I did think it was a little strange to come away on my own, but now I'm here it's like, of course I have! I'll do it again!
Count down to Christmas! I've opened the tin of chocolates but I've also left them upstairs in the present room (my spare room). Every evening I run up the stairs with much glee, grab just 4 chocolates and that's me for the night! I've not once popped up for a second handful! It's worked for me! I feel very smug.
I have a date for my new job. 6 Jan! Really enjoying having December off but super excited to start work. My waters telling me it's going to be good. And my waters never lie - rarely lie!
You may have to fight the battle more than once to win it!
