Quick lesson for anyone who thinks drinking and taking medication is ok!

So lunch on saturday with my old school friend turned into a drunken mess from my side! I'd not intended to drink but couldn't resist a little toast - Never drink on Zyban! Never! 3 glasses of watered down wine later I was a jibbering idiot who couldn't find her legs! I fell down an escalator and have seriously hurt myself - I'm covered in bruises from head to foot... at that point Poor Lesley had to phone my mother and ask her to catch a train into London and fetch me! Then of course in my drunken wisdom I decided to catch a train home by myself - I am 30 for goodness sake, I can find my own way home (yeah but not wasted like I was)! Well for 2 hours my poor mom who'd come all the way to fetch me and my poor worried friend searched London Liverpool Street Station for me and I had just "poofed" into thin air! Well at the end of the day, I did make it home safely and my very worried husband was pacing the platform and when he saw me was so relieved he slammed me into a wall and kissed me so hard I remember thinking "ouch that really hurt!" but it was nothing compared to the banging headache I had the next morning!

Needless to say I'm so very ashamed of drinking on Zyban when I knew that it said DO NOT CONSUME ALCOHOL on the box - I've been banned from taking them (and he's flushed them down the loo) because Tony says too many strange things have been happening since I started them last week! Normally I can drink 2 bottles of wine by myself and still be ok... it had to have been the zyban!

I don't know what effect my little saturday's escapade has done to my weight chart this week but I'm determined not to let it get the better of me... I'm going to be extra vigilent of what I'm eating and upping my workout an extra 15 minutes!

Update!: I realise that this journal has become a place where I can talk about not only weightloss but other things that are going through my life at the time! I just wanted to say thank you to everyone who reads it!

I'm so grateful that the Born to be Wild Challenge starts tomorrow because it'll be a good kickstart to the 6 week commitment to finish the race and I'm determined that I'm going to reach my goal in that time! 10kg's (22lbs) in 6 weeks - that's just over 1.5kg's (3.3lbs) to loose each week and that isn't hard to do at all! I've never done a challenge on FS before because I thought they'd be too competitive but now I realise that they are just fun motivational challenges for everyone involved!

The smoking challenge I've set myself seems to be going really well. I've dropped drastically the amount of cigarettes I have a day and can go hours without the need to have one out of boredom or frustration and it's not as if I'm craving for one - it's just my body just doesn't feel the need to have one! The Zyban are working wonders I think and the side-effects are decreasing each day! From Sunday (start of week 2) I start taking 2 tablets a day for the rest of the course - I am still able to smoke during that week! From the following Sunday (start of week 3) I continue with the tablets only and shouldn't be smoking at all by then!

Home life has settled down nicely since the move and I cannot wait to get paid today! It's been tough going since the last time I got paid (17 December) and also supporting my father since his arrival has taken it's toll on my bank account! I'm please to say though, he now has a job and starts on Monday and has said he will be contributing toward the food and utility bills when he gets his weekly pay packet!

So that's what's been going through my brain since my last journal entry and although it may be boring for you to read, just getting it out on this journal also allows me to reflect on what I wrote to take steps to put it right!

So after a day of coming to terms with how crap we've been eating at home I decided to re-think dinner which was going to be tuna pasta. I instead made 2 thin pork loin steaks each, wild rice, sugar snap peas, cauliflower and carrots for dinner! My Dad, who doesn't know what a veg is even if it bit him on the bum loved it and my partner who was suffering from a terrible headache managed to get down what he could before retiring to the sitting room to wait for the carrots to kick in and take away his headache (I tell my 6 year old step son that carrots heal things when ever he has an ouchy!).

I'm meeting an old friend from school for the first time in 10 years for lunch on Saturday and I've told her all about my healthier lifestyle, so she's picked us a really lovely resturant to go to. I'm so excited to see her again after soooo long!

Ok so I went to the clinic last night and was horrified when I got on those scales! Since my last weigh in here on Fat Secret, I've gained back 8kg's (17.6 lbs) of the 11kg's (24.2lbs) that I'd lost! (But, I've lost 3kg's since the last time I went to the clinic and started a new contraceptive pill - which in it's self is a good thing - even if it was only a mere 3kg's (6.6 lbs) and not the 11kg's that I'd actually lost in that time!) Grrrrr!

I'm not disgusted in myself to see the weight gain was more than I expected (Where has it all gone back onto though?), just upset for allowing it to sneak back on... yes, I've had a rather hectic time of it since my last weigh in and I've allowed " daily life" to step back in control but that is really no excuse!

My resolve to get this weight off and down to my goal of 70kg's (154 lbs)has not been jilted nor has it made me want to give up and throw in the towel, infact this little (or rather "massive" I should say) upward blip in my chart just makes me want to do it all the more!! And if I'm to become the healthier person I want to be, this has also made me even more determined to stop smoking!

So lets get ready for the ride of our lives ladies and gents and lets make this challenge the best one yet!

Day 2 of giving up smoking is going really well so far! The tablets do have rather sever side effects such as the thirst that won't go away, the I can't keep still syndrome, a mood swing that had me crying and as I discovered last night the I cannot as hard as I try go to sleep craze! I finally nodded off at 12:50am and struggled to pull myself out of bed at 8:30am this morning - I was late for work, forgot to wish my father a happy birthday and even forgot to feed the kitty breakfast! Hmmmmmm not good! I'm going to kick this habit in the butt even if it kills me!

So I'm off to the clinic tonight to get my contraceptive pill prescription renewed - we don't want any little mistakes happening now do we?? - and while I'm there, I'll weigh myself on their more accurate scale than the one I have at home that's out of the dark ages! I'm hoping that I've not put back the entire weight I lost but I fear that I have judging by the feeling of my clothing lately!! Wish me luck for tonight!
