Ok so i might aswell admit it ...... over the last 24 hours i've committed CARBICIDE and i am REALLY pissed off at myself about it.
I hope you all know what carbicide is?! If not here's my definition .... EATING EVERY BAD CARB WITHIN REACH ......
My sundays used to be filled with sunday partying and 29 tequilas and 98 strawberry ciders, and now well i eat carbs ..... ok not every sunday, and not all carbs are bad for you, but i'm feeling really annoyed at myself for yesterdays boredom performance of Carbicide ......
I ate Couscous, 2 Croissants smothered in Jam and a quorn sausage sandwich ...... oh and a cookies and cream cupcake ..... FAT PERSON IS THAT YAAAAAOU?! haha it was yesterday!
Now anyone who knows me or reads these pointlessish blogs of mine knows that i've been on a bit of a crusade this year trying to learn about food and make myself healthy in mind and body - which is slowly starting to work - my mind is defo healthier and i actually am early for work these days, still not quite there on the body - but rome wasn't built in a day ......... sorry i digress here i need to get back to the point i'm trying to make .......
So due to the fact i was scoffing all the bad carbs in the world, infact made me the worlds most lethargic person in the world yesterday, and today if i'm completely honest also, but when i woke up this morning i decided i wanted to wear my high waisted trousers to work, which on Friday i might add when i tried them on felt LOOSE actually felt tight around my michelin esque stomach ..... the result / consequence of Sunday Carbicide .... SO i then stand there decide to suffer it and wear them to work, on the promise to myself i'm going straight to the Gym after work to give myself a powerful cardio work out ......... (I'm laughing really loudly right now about this as that is the biggest joke of the day)
Work well that was a little bit good today .... only gone and got myself a meeting at one of the 3 hotels we're going after, so the hardwork and effort i've been putting in might actually pay off slightly, so i spent most of the afternoon being a complete social networking whore on linkedin and doing some other research and turns out might have got another client on board too .... happy days ...... Although work was dead quiet, i feel like i've achieved a fair bit today, with ground work on potential clients, and managed to get a stupidly good deal agreed on Business Cards for people today, Dad has been more than up for doing some deals for twitter and linkedin etc ..... WORK TALK OVER ... BORED OF IT NOW .....
So then .... GYM TIME .... what an effing let down ..... couldn't run on the treadmill, had no capacity to do any press ups (or my attempt at press ups due to having no muscle in my upper body) i managed about 5 minutes on the x-trainer .... actually SHAMEFUL ..... i'm embarassed at myself right now .... i see my PT working one of his other clients and he's all smiles and waves at me thinking probably 'oh look clair's here working out' 'If only he knew the truth?! I literally was 20% in that gym tonight ..... So what do i put this down too ..... CARBICIDE ........ If i hadn't swayed off the protein, good carbs in small doses eating lifestyle that is now like my mantra i think my energy levels would of been normal ....... So not only am i seeeeeething at myself for the binge, i also have had no sastisfaction out of it ..... Factually all those hideous carbs are bad for you .... i eat it for one day and i feel like i've undone 6 months worth of good .....
Don't get me wrong, i am NOT perfect 100% of the time, i'd say 75% of the time i am bang on perfect - but i never eat like that and now i know why ..... i've spent so long learning about food, diet and nutrition from my PT that i made some serious choices about how i was going to eat and work out for the future and i can honestly say that all day today i've felt sluggish and lacked the energy that i normally have ...... So tomorrow i've got a PT sesh and i've texted him to tell him that he must destroy me tomorrow, and i'm having a serious word with myself about straying off the path again on a sunday .... Maybe i need to go back to sunday raving down brick lane where eating really is cheating?!
Have a loverrrrrly week
Big Kiss x

Take That in the Dirty 30's
Oh Hellllllooooooo Blog World you've not heard from me in a while, well infact not since i've been 30 years old to be honest & well i dunno why really i've been quite side tracked of late being really good and all that but i've had a lovely week so far so thought i'd share a few thoughts and tell you all a thing or 2 about whats been happening!
So in a nutshell - NOTHING .... Since turning 30 and being sensible and all that, i haven't half got old and boring! Infact in this week i've been to Fabric and Take That at Wembley and since my 30th birthday thats been the most exciting 2 things to have happened to me!
I now live in Wanstead which is bloody amazing, settled into the new house, skinted myself out - as you do - not really living the dream but I will keep telling myself that at some point i won't be a skint member and i will get to enjoy some of the fun things that every self respecting 30 year old woman should be.
Now then ...... Lets give you my thoughts on the highlight of my week / my 30th year so far ..... Take That at Wembley on Tuesday, as a 5 piece ...... Cliff notes : I prefer Take That as a 4 and Robbie on his own .... BUT it was the stuff dreams are made of - the 11 year old inside of me was giddy all day in anticipation!
Rocking up to Wembley by 8am, to queue for 12 hours might have seemed a little bit drastic but when your a veteran at these standing ticket affairs and have always been down the front, you know you need to be there early with the hardcore 'take thatters' haha - did i really just say that?! 'take thatters' .... yeaaah i did! So there we gets and theres about 70 people in front of us - which i think is pretty good, admiteddly there is 5 entrances to Wembley but each que was approximately the same ..... Everyone was in great spirits and like all these things you get chatting to those other hardcore 'i love robbie the most' fans haha ..... The security team were brilliant - walking round chatting to everyone explaining how they were going to get us in the turnstiles and condensing the que's and i have to say it was extremely organised - nobody went to ott with the pushing and que jumping and when we were finally taken up to the turnstiles it was so quick, i was so impressed!
So the sun was shining the weather was sweeeeet for the majority of the day, i've got some uber amazingly embarassing tan lines on my back from the top I was wearing, fuck knows how i'm ever gonna even them up ..... And then what happened, in typical English fashion down came the rain and it rained non stop for the duration of the time i was in the stadium .... only in England folks can you get sunburn and a cold all in the same day! To say i was drenched was an understatement.
Still ...... I really can't fault Take That, or Robbie for that matter, as thats the thing that I still find a little strange ...... good strange but strange nevertheless and for all those who've been or don't mind me talking about it i found it ever so slightly strange that the first appearance of TT was as a 4 piece and then 30 mins or so later along came Robbie, alone ...... so from the off for me it didn't feel like the original TT ..... however i can't deny the 11 year old inside of me was absolutely in awe and smiling for about 3 hours because when the 5 of them were on stage it had felt like all my christmases had come at once! It was brilliant when they performed as a 5 and did the old and new stuff .... literally sang my heart out all night long!!!!
Jason Orange - SORT ...... He has defo got better with age, like any great fine wine :-)))) i've always had the biggest soft spot for Howard and wow ...... i still have, i am very much a Williams fan but seriously TT as men nearing their 40's are smouldering HOT ..... No wonder all the 40 something women were fighting like cat and dog to be hanging over the railings .....
I did however find it a little excessive that 2 women were wearing t-shirts which said 'Robbie smash my back doors in' (with an arrow point to their backside) and one that said the same with Gary's name instead ........ Sorry but people really should be growing old gracefully ..... or not as the case may be?! I hate to say this but overall it was proper chavvy - just from looking around at the 80k + women there ......
I think my favourite moment was Relight My Fire - it was pure uptempo dancing, i've not smiled like that in a long long time and they are amazing and i'm glad i've been able to be a part of the reunion because i very much doubt TT will be doing that again as a 5 piece so it felt like that was a final piece to the puzzle ..... I think it was amazing they all sang No Regrets together too, i think it proves that they have really made up and they all are a family again
Wembley is phenomenal ..... including the prices for everything there! I was impressed with it all and i think i'd like very much to go back again and watch some kinda football match there, so if anyone ever wants to take me feel free, cos i'd be right up for going!
It was a great night, i was shattered by the end of it, the dedication for queueing for 12 + hours took its toll on me, and i've still not really recovered, or could that be a multitude of raving all night at fabric til gone 9am, and then a really long tuesday ..... Either way, this has been the most exciting few days i've had in my 'Dirty 30's' - which people are more pipe and slippers than dirty 30's .... but as the saying goes 'Things Can Only Get Better' so lets hope the 30's get slightly more interesting and give the 20's a run for their money!
Thats me done for tonight! Much Love Kisses and all that vajazzle
