We normally have a seminar on Tuesdays at 12, in term time... and I've been thinking about going to a swimming class at 12.30 on Tuesdays which only runs in term time, so obviously they clash. We had a planning meeting for the seminar today and I walked in about 12.10 to find people saying "shall we run it in summer term, at all, then?" to which I replied "Well I'd be very happy not to since I want to go to a swimming class". Result: no seminar. Hoorah!
Went along to the pool - class starts next week. Never mind, I'll swim today anyway now I'm here. One snag: no-one else has signed up yet for the class, and if enough people don't sign up, it doesn't run. Clearly waiting to see if it runs next term is no good for me as then there will be seminars! Aargh!
My healthy eating regime aka Weighwatchers is going well - I'm finding it relatively easy to stick to the foods that they recommend especially as I have been full of energy and done lots of extra exercise which means I've no qualms about adding on anything small I fancy as well. Something I'm agonising about is how to eat healthily when with friends - previously I was quite successful at losing weight by keeping track of everything, but I tended not to tell people I was trying to lose weight until they actually noticed. But I've been finding myself making some fairly drastic changes - I'm not hungry at all but not everyone drinks skimmed milk, or eats low fat yoghurt with fruit for breakfast. What if people think I'm weird? Or what if they do that reallly annoying thing of saying "it won't matter just this once will it"?
One suggestion was not to say "I'm trying to lose weight" but "I'm losing weight". Which sounds a lot more positive!
