Don't think STS was from * week :/ no show yet, anyway. Think Cheeky is right- it was probably because after a diet pause (sort of) in Florida for 2 weeks my body suddenly dropped the 7lbs in two weeks when back on plan- but now has slowed down again. Probably have to get strict again and do more red and maybe a few Success Express, but was hoping that wouldn't be necessary for a while. Will keep going as normal for a bit and see if things change, often have an off week or two after a good couple of weeks anyway. Have been sort of craving to get drunk and eat junk recently :/ haven't acted on it but guess I sort of deprived myself last week because of that one naughty day with G's family. Had low syns most of the week and basically only had half the amount I could have!
Had a big-ass Chinese with Grandma yesterday though! Didn't overeat but guess around 20 syns to cover it all. Wasn't a buffet in the end (phew) but we ordered mixed starters so had one chicken satay (maybe 2 syns as had the sauce?), one prawn toast (3.5), one mini spring roll (.5) and some crispy seaweed (2?). For mains we shared plain rice, noodles with beansprouts (half = 3.5 syns), sweet and sour chicken (Half = 5ish) and crispy shredded beef (it was the proper deep fried stuff so only had about 1/4 of it, maybe another 5 syns for that)
Was really yummy though
Bought loads of cheap food at Costco! WOW it's awesome! I got 20 skinless chicken thighs for £8!! Just the day before bought 5 from sainsburys for £4.50! Marinated half and cooked them today, sooo yummy. Quarter left for tomorrow, the last half of them in the freezer.
Uno extreme is AWESOME!! Seriously- it adds such a twist to the game as instead of picking up a card you push a button and it fires a random amount of cards at you
adds a really random element to the game but so many giggles! I slaughter G at it also ;D hehe
The photography stuff for G definitely is minimal- one shoot a month if that! He really doesn't want to get a job though, he hated the last place and was stuck there 10 years. He invested all this money and time into photography so I think he will be stubborn about working :/ still relying on his 10 years of savings which are basically flooding down the drain. We don't have to pay rent because it's my dad's flat, so takes the financial pressure off... But puts the pressure on the relationship instead as we have no desperate need to whoop our asses into gear *sigh*
I have a really cool filming gig next week- an acrobatics team I've filmed for before (really cool) are having a circus event! A few performances plus workshops, so am filming that for them and that'll keep me busy editing for a month. Properly paid for once, woohoo! They asked me to do it for half of my asking price but I told them I really couldn't afford that, the asking price basically covers the 100 hours I'll be editing and would be much less than minimum wage if half the price- so they dug into their finances and found the money- brill! Looking forward to it
Cheese Thief- STILL Haven't seen Kick Ass 2! My bestie ranted on about some rape joke in it for ages and said that she really didn't enjoy the film even though she loved the first :/ put us off a bit, but do still want to see it! What is the Steve Carrell movie!? I LOVE STEVE CARRELL!!
Thanks for all of the advice- I really don't know where I'm at with this studying idea now though. It seems like ALL the courses are starting in the next week or two and I'm not ready to rush into that, so it'll have to wait until next year. Not sure where my friend got the idea that they start at multiple times a year *sigh*
I was looking at other things I could busy myself with and my mum suggested I could write a trashy novel for mills and boon LOL! I looked into it and the guidelines are so icky..! It would be so easy to bash out a cheesy romance novel but there are a bunch of catagories it has to fit within- for instance: sexy, rich, powerful man with innocent girl at his feet / headstrong, sexy woman uses men as a casual thing, finds a very oridnary man and starts to fall for him but won't let herself... Ewww lol. I might try and read a couple in the lesser-ick catagory ones and see what they're like. I'm really good at writing trashy romance stuff LOL even though it cringes me to admit that. Could be a decent project to keep me busy and could bring some money in too if they accepted it. My mum said an old friend of hers used to write anonymously for Mills and Boon and rake it in!
Researching the psychotherapy courses just baffled me... So many different areas, most of the courses want a foundation course completed first *sigh* I don't know... the official ones all seem to be a lot more expensive too.
Big extended family do tomorrow for cousin's 13th non-bamitza birthday party... Not sure if I'm going to go or not, kinda want to but would kinda wait to see everyone at xmas when I've lost more weight LOL. Feel like I don't have much to talk about (they always get nosy and ask about loads of things, not much going on right now in the work side of things... Feel like I haven't progressed enough since I saw them all last). My dad's dad had 8 siblings who've all had kids who've had more kids- so the family is HUGE. Haven't seen them since xmas before last as was in Dubai this boxing day for the annual do... ahh... I don't know if I'll bother...
