Karma is a bitch.

I am officially on a weeks detox. 

Saturday involved eating out again although there was not a burger in sight. After finally finding my niece a butterfly costume (THANK YOU H&M YOU BABE) and buying Tesco out of fairy cakes, we went to Chiquito. I had roasted vegetable enchiladas followed by stacked chocolate brownies and vanilla ice cream. It was babe. One unfortunate incident did occur whilst we were there though. I was taking my niece to the toilets and accidentally walked into the men's.. In my defence, the sign was awfully confusing, not to mention that they were written in Spanish. My niece found the whole incident hilarious, I physically had to drag her out of the men's because she was laughing so much. At least there was nobody in them. I would hate to scar her for life more than I already have..


I then proceeded to go out that evening. I swear to God, I had 2 drinks and 1 shot in pre drinks and felt so sick I had chug down glasses of water for fear of an accidental chunder. I was also hammered. I then had another drink, had my face painted, (as you do) bought another drink and stole a lone beer off a nearby table. I don't even drink beer. I think karma might have got me soon after because I was dancing away and then suddenly fell flat on my back. Both drinks went flying and covered me head to toe. COOL. I am a mess who needs not to drink, especially when wearing heels and with a phone in my hand. Actually I really need not to be drinking when in "training". That was going to be my last weekend out on the razzle but seeing as I am missing the whole of Freshers week I am going to allow myself another weekend out. That's right kids. I am going to follow a week of detoxing with a night out getting sloshed..

Last week I got a bit over excited in a sweetshop and spent five pounds on Jelly Bean Factory jelly beans. I have had the best idea for a drinking game with my ever so exciting jelly beans. Guess the jelly bean flavour. If you get it wrong, you do a shot. So simple yet so genius, don't you agree? After this weekend, I am absolutely certain that no alcohol will enter my being until after the half marathon..

So back to today. My detox has gone fairly well. I made the yummiest vegetable soup today. It had marrow, carrot, celery, onion, leek and barley in it. I am going to go soup crazy and put my food processor to good use. I quite fancy a spicy parsnip and sweet potato soup soon. Have also put The Mother on a detox too. The woman is addicted to rich tea biscuits. Some people wake up and have a cigarette, The Mother wakes up and eats two rich tea biscuits. She has been texting me all day asking what she can and cannot eat. I give her two more days before she caves..

Day 1:

• 2 apples
• Home made vegetable soup
• Bran flakes and Blueberries
• A Highlights hot chocolate.

I also just went to the gym. I wish I was brave enough to run on the tracks but you know how I feel about running around people. I am going to gym after work tomorrow and then run in the evening. I simply must get my act together. I WILL BE HENCH.

Good night,

Your very tired friend.
