Why Be Normal?
"gilty" as in gilding something (putting a thin layer of gold on a less expensive metal of wood making it appear to be all gold).
A guilty pleasure is something one considers pleasurable despite feeling guilt for enjoying it. Often, the "guilt" involved is simply fear of others discovering one's lowbrow or otherwise embarrassing tastes.

I just realised that I posted NOTHING for yesterday. LOL To tell the truth, I did not do very much and I did "cheat eat" -- so, that's what happend when I do not focus on "things other than food".
1) got up, got DD off to school
2) emptied, reloaded dishwasher
3) wash laundry
4) spent hours and hours doing a mani/pedi and watching tele that I had save on the Skyplus
5) was on computer
6) finished cleaning/sorting the dry goods cupboard and (finally) put the stuff back in it
7) tried on new Sketchers Shape ups and gave them a little go
8) showered/washed hair/dressed
9) took DD and friend to gymnastics
10) made dinner for DH
11) played a little DS Suduko
12) watched "The Diets that Time Forgot" -- still loving it

I barely made made my DSlite PersonalFitness Coach: Walking step quota yesterday -- very slack day. I was at less than 5,000 -- which is half of what a healthy person should do. And, since I started using it a few days ago... I have not gotten to 10,000 once!
Today, I...
1) got up, had coffee, got DD off to school
2) unloaded dishwasher, am running it now with a cleaner thing in it
3) on computer, talked to friend on the phone (can't do coffee as planned: she is waiting on repair men and I have two back-to-back oil change appointments)
4) checked and replied to emails
5)...

MM, yesterday was yesterday and today is a whole new day so put that cheat eat behind you and don't look back! Today I:
1) Got up
2) Spent about 20 minutes reassuring myself that the dream I had about my university presentation which went horribly bad is not a sign of how it's going to go next week!
3) Sent off for the application forms for a graduate job I like the look of
4) Caught up on emails and facebook
And now I'm going to go and have a shower, grab a cup of tea and do my official weigh in! And put the heating on, because I'm sure it's been turned off, again!

9) walked back to Jeep, drove it home, got Honda, drove it up for oil change
10) walked from car appt to base craft shop to check on order/not done
11) walked back to car -- car not done DH put wrong fliter in car
car guy drove me to shop on base to buy correct filter, finished car, paid
12) checked mail on base -- yeah! Coffee order here (I bought DH a posh one cup coffee maker from the States it's German -- a Kreuig. They do not sell them in the UK. I have order the coffee from the US!)
13) drove home, made a coffee! Drank it. Had first soup of the day -- it was 2:30!
14) finished sorting big pantry cupboard (threw out a couple of out of date items)15) filled coffee pod holder & put coffee away

21) cleaned out/organised baking supply cupboard
22) DD made her own dinner (--age 10, while I had 2nd soup

Thanks MM, feels like a productive day today! Sure the dream was just my mind too, it'll all be fine!
13) Told my sister that I'm doing CD again
14) Found a new CDC
15) Put my new ebay bargains away (If I see clothes in sizes along my CD journey that are about to end at a bargain price, I buy them, means I have a bit of a stash in most sizes, but just a few basics)
16) Had vegetable soup - not too sure on that one!
17) Played guitar for a bit
18) Nearly killed my housemates for cooking Pizza and making the entire house smell of it
19) Dug out my Aroma melts warmer to make my room smell lovely
20) Stripped and washed bedding
21) Tidied bedroom
22) Realised that a guy I thought I really liked I'm actually completely over that now
23) Made Strawberry mix-a-mousse
And now I'm about to settle down and watch a movie with my mix-a-mousse

I've got a month's supply though, so it's looooads! And I'm fairly OCD... all my DVDs are in categories and alphabetical order!!
I don't miss those days, not when it gets really confusing, and then the feeling isn't mutual! When I said crazy about a guy... that's a slight exaggeration really. But I did for a while really think I liked him and I went to see him and came back and it was this whole big confusion of whether he liked me or not, and mixed signals, blah blah blah. Eventually said something and he said he really likes me, but doesn't feel anything more than friends. At first I was a bit like... oh. But now I'm actually completely cool with it and I realised that I think part of it was the idea of him liking me, than liking him himself, if that makes sense. But I really do like him as a friend, he's a great person, so I can see why it confused me!
I have the most confusing life of all, I always like people I shouldn't. So trying to work on that. There's still one guy that after 2 years I still every so often get that twang of hmm I like you. But hopefully that'll go away soon!
