Pre-Holiday Failure

It is the week before I head off for a Moroccan adventure with the man, and alas, all good intentions of No-Spend-September and Slim-tober have completely and utterly failed. So I embark on a last minute campaign to flatten my tummy before I have to be wear a bikini.

I truly and honestly had every good intention of behaving myself the past few months, however temptation in the form of booze (both paid and free), food and staying indoors has just been far too strong for me.

Who can I blame for my misfortune? I could blame my boyfriend for having a birthday, or work for being not only stressful but also providing many occasions for free booze. I could also potentially blame mother nature for turning the thermostat down

But alas, as much as I would like to blame anything or anyone for my complete lack of will power, I feel that I can only blame myself.

So this week, in a panic-stricken attempt at holiday preparation, I shall be enjoying the varied diet of soup. Yesterday I had a delightful Thai Chicken that tasted remarkably like a bland curry. Today I consumed a pumpkin and red pepper the pales in comparison to my mother’s pumpkin soup. Let’s hope tomorrow’s Italian tomato and meatball is a little more satisfying!
