Only happy when I'm hurting!

Or not!! Finally got myself feeling pretty much normal again by Friday and then had my work xmas do. Obviously, I just had to wear heels so now my feet are killing me; even though I danced barefoot all night! I then decided that that clearly wasn't enough to be getting along with so rode with my SI belt on, and whilst it felt a lot better when I was riding, damn, my hips are sore now! But that just wasn't enough either, whilst I was cleaning the house I turned and smacked my knee cap straight into the edge of the door.  I have the knobbliest knees ever and that smarts more than a little, normally it wears off but this time it hasn't... Brilliant.  On the plus side, my size 8 shorts are too big!! They must be sized on the big size but I have lost another inch on my hips since I bought them.

We went to watch the theatre production of War Horse yesterday at the Lowry theatre, Salford Quays. The production was done by The National Theatre company and I don't think there are words that could explain just how unbelievably amazing it was. They use 'puppets' for the animals and the detail was mind blowing, whoever directed it made sure that every knew EXACTLY how horses behave at all times, you totally forgot that they weren't real and as a horse owner, this was a magnificent thing to behold, as they captured what makes these animals so incredibly beautiful and noble and I was truly blown away. It was also a cry fest from start to finish for me, very, very emotionally drained after and I don't think I saw a single person who wasn't crying on the way out.  I can't recommend going to see it enough, you have to see it to believe it.

I don't even want to weigh myself in the morning, so don't think I will! Save myself the pain, it has not been a particularly healthy weekend, finished off by a beautiful roast lamb tea followed by a fantastic pineapple pie; all made by my dad so I would imagine it was all heavy on everything my diet avoids... But soooooo tasty! I need to make the most of it over the next couple of weeks though, as I plan to really step it up a gear in the new year!! I sat up in bed the other day and I have unbelievable abs now, I just need to shed the last bit of fat from there so I can see them!! I may have to speak to a specialist to get my diet bang on, as it is not going to be easy but I REALLY want to see these bad boys!! Bring it on, pretty excited about it tbh, I love pushing myself like this.
