2, 4, 6, 8, who do we appreciate!

You know what's rubbish? When I go out and get raucously drunk, as I do practically every other day apparently being the shitty student that I am, the only thing that stops me getting a hangover is eating late at night. So either way I'm going to feel crap the next day - either because I'm stupidly hungover (and thus end up eating loads that day), or depressed because I ate so late at night. Which to choose? Tricky call.

Was meant to go to the gym today, but I'm too hungover. Tragic. I better not let lack of exercise get to me over Christmas without dance. Speaking of, how fitting is the picture? Reminds me I'll look MUCH more elegant and gorgeous when I'm skinny. The photographer's professional photos of the dance show came through and whilst they're generally AMAZING, I look far too fat. WHY AM I CURSED TO BE A FAT DANCER. Or at least look it, next to my skinny gorgeous dancer friends...

I'm going home for the Christmas hols tomorrow. I really can't wait, but I am nervous about the food. I'm going to have to start eating, well, NORMALLY. And while this will be a blessing to my body (I bet my skin will get better, I'll stop feeling cold, my, ahem, digestive system will be much better), my weight will suffer. All I keep thinking is, MAN, this is going to be HARD, but I have to remind myself; I lost over a stone at home over Summer. I got to uni and I just put some of those stinking pounds back on. Maybe being home is a good thing?

I don't drink as much, certainly.

I'm debating starting the 2 4 6 8 diet. I've been reading into it and it seems to GUARANTEE decent results. Thing is, I really don't know if I can do 200 calories... I might turn it into the 3 4 6 8 diet. 300 calories was HARD when I was on the SGD for a little while, but I'll have to man up a bit. I won't count Christmas day, of course!

If you're not sure what it is, it goes a bit like this:

Day 1 - 200 cals
Day 2 - 400 cals
Day 3 - 600 cals
Day 4 - 800 cals
Day 5 - 600 cals
Day 6 - 400 cals

Etc. etc...

It's meant to trick your metabolism and send it into overdrive. To make it easier you can start it at 800 and work down then back up again. Gemme?

Might be something worth trying over the holidays. Could give me a bit of a focus. I'll start it tomorrow. The day I head home! Quite handy having a calorie counter app on my Blackberry too... at least I'll never be left uncertain!

Better go and pack now... can hardly wait.

Toodles,
