Days 135 + 136

I've had a busy weekend which means the diet has been pretty easy as I've not had time to think about food. I've also had the great bouncy energetic feeling for the last couple of days so I took advantage of it on Saturday and got some much needed (and much dreaded) shopping done.

I've been having a few problems with my clothes lately, most of them are too big now and seeing as work is a little thin on the ground, I don't have the cash to buy smaller ones right now. I've picked up a few bargains on eBay and in the local charity shops but I've been struggling to find a good, cheap winter coat so I braved my old stomping ground and headed on down to Walworth Road and East Street market and managed to find a waterproof, windproof, bright green jacket in a size 18 for just £10! It's a hiking type jacket and it's extremely warm, well padded and roomy enough on me to wear a good sized jumper underneath too, in fact, it may even be slightly too large.... but it's a huge improvement on the massive size 22 parka coat I was wearing before which was so huge on me it seemed to suck up freezing air from the bottom everytime I moved, and freeze my whole body. Although my new coat is short compared to my old one, it's much warmer and it was cheap enough that I don't mind if it's useless by next winter.

Today was a little more leisurely. I had a little bit of work to do, setting up a new laptop and configuring and securing a wireless router and the boyfriend came home from his weekend away. I cooked him a big dinner and managed to eat a tiny sensible portion of the CD friendly elements. It wasn't totally CD-legal, but it was carb free and a nice small portion so I feel OK about it.
