Day One!!

Ok.  Day one of the diet.

I woke this morning and enthusiastically jumped out of bed excited that today was the start of the new me.

I decided that the first thing I needed to do was to weigh myself.  So into the bathroom I went and removed all my clothing (I see you’re all cringing already :) ).  Pulling the scales out from the place I hide them behind the laundry basket, I tapped them with my foot to get them up and running, took a deep breath, closed my eyes and made the dreaded step.

Finally plucking up the courage I opened one eye and looked down.  Once I leaned forward enough to see over the boobs I looked at the little digital read out and saw that they were broken.  No, I didn’t break them.  It turns out the battery was flat.

Job number one tomorrow – buy new batteries.

It was kind of down hill after this.  I did help a friend of mine clean a house and I did have a walk on the beach with my daughter.  That’s calorie burning isn’t it?  Well, I certainly hope so because after I cleaned the house, my friend and I grabbed a quick cuppa and I may have upgraded mine to a Gloria Jeans Mudslide Mocha.  Decaf of course.

So it seems tomorrow is actually the day I get serious.  I mean there’s no point dieting if I didn’t even know my starting weight is there?
