Isn't it ironic

Isn't it ironic that ....

Whenever you start a diet ... blocks of chocolate are on sale at the supermarket.

and ....

whenever you have a grand plan to start exercising "on Monday" ... you end up being the biggest social butterfly. I sometimes feel I must send telepathic messages to all my mates about my impending exercise kick. I'm sure it's something along the lines of: "Hey! I'm planning on going on a kick arse exercise stint next week ... please save me from myself and invite me out somewhere that I can't possibly say no to!".

Yup! This week is a little social fest for me. I'm meeting a friend for coffee Tuesday evening (which won't give away my game) but is likely to turn into dinner (hmmm! how do you get around the fact that normally when you meet this particular friend you end up going to a gourmet burger kitchen?!). Wednesday evening I'm meeting another friend for dinner. He knows I've had surgery (but not what) and is happy to go somewhere where I can get a bowl of soup (lucky, lucky me!). On Friday morning, I am heading to Edinburgh (for three days) for the Ed!nburgh Milit*ry Tatt*o. I'm soooo excited! But I'm a bit concerned about travelling and the mushie diet thing. I think I'm going to have to have a little bit of a game plan. I guess it won't hurt to take my protein powder (as I normally only have a protein shake for breakfast at the moment anyway), some pack cup-a-soups and pureed fruit. I'm just going to have to find a wee cafe or restaurant to eat soup twice a day! Gawd! I hope they serve more than one variety! LOL!

I'm still not very hungry. I get times where I know for sure I'm hungry and have something to eat but I'm not stuck on it. I'm not really fussed by food to be honest. There has been an enormous amount of goodies at work this week and I haven't even felt tempted. I mean, I watched a work colleague eat a Cornetto (ice cream) today and didn't even feel slightly moved (normally I would think "Geez, that looks good ... I gotta get me one of 'em!"). Even the warm, wafting smells of fast food stores don't excite me. It's a bloody nice experience let me tell you!
