Friday cheat night ..... huh?

Sorry my poor blog - I've been neglecting you...

I've been taking you for granted but honestly it's just because I am so embedded within the 4HB that I haven't been feeling the need to post. I haven't found much to say apart from ... "ate beans, ate protein, ate veg, tossed around some kettlebells".

BUT today something extraordinary happened. The 4HB is not very social-friendly if you are sticking to it properly - but I threw that all to the wind last night and went clubbing. And decided to have a cheat night (or perhaps a cheat 24 hour period spanning Fri-Sat, the kind of thing that the new people post on the forums asking if it's OK .... for the exclusion of any doubt - NO - this is not part of the 4HB lifestyle)

Anyhoo - I took my measurements yesterday morning, partly as I wasn't sure I'd be able to drag my sorry butt out of bed this morning. Took the extra measurements and photos etc.

So this morning I have a ripper headache - recollections of eating a margerita pizza before going out, preceded by some grapefruit/lime cocktails (damage control) and then a big night on the tiles with vodka redbulls and champagne.  Laughing and having a ball until some ungodly hour. Heard the morning song of invisible birds when the taxi tipped me out - and the sun was about to rise ... maybe 5am or so? Anyway - by some act of god I am up at 10.30am, partly to take doses of paracetamol that should knock a horse off it's trotters - partly to knock down another bottle of water ... and just for giggles I got on the scales.

59.4 (130.7) .... A new all time low! bizarre! .... I could put it down to dehydration, but the scales show an all time high on body water ... and I'd just downed 500mls of water in the half hour prior. Imagine what it could have said if I'd got on before the water.


If this is what clubbing does to my body - I'm getting tickets for every weekend.


PS - felt amazing out .... slid into a dress that clung to my body in all the right ways.  Work it baby.


PPS - I may still be a little drunk.
