Day 21 - It's a snotty kind of day!

Don't know about the rest of you but Ive had bad hayfever today. I take tablets and a nose spray and I'm normally ok but today I'm itchy, sniffy and throat tingly...ok enough, I'm boring myself.

This morning I got up at 8am after 6 hours sleep, during which my cat woke me up 3 times. He really is a little shit. I think he may be hungry. I feed him the required amount but he always seems to want more. I often find him licking his bowl between feeds. It's weird. There are no crumbs in the bowl. Maybe he has mental issues. I guess he's lived with me too long ;)

Normally I would sleep in (because it was my exercise free day) but I was meeting my best mate for a bit of retail therapy. Country Road had a sale on which was ending today, so I bought a pair of thongs, a overnight tote bag and a handbag.

I did try on some clothes and to my extreme surprise.................sorry I really need to drag out the suspense on this one......I was a frickin size 8! WTF!!! I haven't been a Country Road size 8 since I was about 15. I tried on a pair of khaki fitted pants and I tried on the 10 and thought, oh they're a bit baggy, so tried on the 8 and they looked good! Not even tight around my belly at all. Still had a bit of room to move in them...this makes this crazy challenge all worthwhile! I didn't buy any clothes in case I lose more weight but in reality, I didn't really like the pants that much. I loved them in the catalogue but they were a bit too pyjamary in real life.

So that was a big ego boost for me. And even one of the CR tops I tried on was too big. I tried on the medium and it was way too big, I needed the small...this is weird. It's like I'm in an alien body. A really slim alien body. I'm lovin myself sick mate! Sorry for the trumpet blowing but this feels too good!

Must not put weight back on. Must not put weight back on. Slim is good. Slim is good. Nothing tastes as good as skinny feels...um I beg to differ with that last mantra. I know alot of food that is totally orgasmic and when I'm eating it, I ain't looking in a mirror! It's just me and my tastebuds, in love with the third party goodness in my mouth.

Um ok I seem to be getting off track a little here. I guess its all related to the challenge though, right?

After shopping, I went to the opening of my brother's art exhibition in Eltham. He has painted some awesome painting of streets and buildings around Abbotsford. Check out the website here

And now I'm at home sniffing and wishing my cat would cook me dinner. But he doesn't seem to notice my pain. He would rather sit on the keyboard and use my full bladder as a springboard when he hears something more interesting happening outside.
