Shame and Happiness

Over the past month or so our TV in the living room has been on the blink. It flashes and goes bright green. Nice. Really annoying - especially when I want to use the Wii Fit Plus at night. So today my Mum and Dad finally went out to get a new one. On the way back they said did my brother and I want something to eat out today and I shamefully said yes. I gave in and had a McDonalds Extra Value Meal. Not good for the diet at all - but I have been good lately so I suppose once won't hurt, right?! It's my weigh-in day tomorrow; I don't expect to have lost much as I've not been doing my exercises either this week as much as I'd like. The shame...

But several great things awaited me on my computer when I'd finished my McDonalds (which was lovely btw...). First off was an email from my crochet pal Jillz saying she'd received her Pink Monstie she won in my giveaway last month, and that they'd had a photo shoot! I love seeing the stuff I've made in their new homes! You can check the shoot out at her fab blog here!

Secondly I'd received my 100th sale in my Etsy Shop! Yay! I opened my shop a year ago this month, so am really happy to have got 100 sales within a year! A Big Thank You to everyone that has either bought something from me, tested my patterns, followed my blog, fanned me on Facebook or anything over the past year - your support is really appreciated! *Hugs!* Here's to another year!

Diet

I usually don't make New Years resolutions, but this year I did - to loose weight.

I lost a bit of weight early least year - mainly because I've been told I have high cholesterol so I cut out a loud of fat from my diet. But I've put the weight back on over the last few months and it was getting a bit depressing over Christmas, so I decided to go on a 'diet' from 1st January.

It's been tough this week - there's still chocolates left over from Christmas and stuff, and I'm addicted to Coka-Cola, which has also been dropped. And tonight my family are having take away! What do I do?! It's soooo tempting, but I have to think about the diet. T'is cruel!

As part of my weight lose thing I've been after a Wii Fit Plus. Can I find one? No. All the shops in Basildon are sold out. They keep saying they'll have more in 'within a few days' but they never do. I looked on Ebay but they're so expensive. So at the moment I'm doing alot of walking. Even when it's snowing I can have a walk as we have a walking machine at home. Handy.

So that's what I've been up to mainly. I'll let you know how it goes (and whether or not I have that take away...)
