Weight: 87.5kg
Waist: 87cm
A moderately successful week, all things considered, although I suppose the numbers don't lie and progress is clearly glacial.

The trip to Queenstown was a lot of fun and quite active really, two ski/board days and a third day two hour bike ride, so at least the diet of pizza and burgers was mitigated to a certain extent. Plus I had salads for lunch, so not too bad really. Not so sure I can say the same of the alcohol, but we really didn’t go too crazy in the end, we were so knackered after snowsports that bed was more appealing.
Must say though that skiing in NZ is a massive let down after European super-resorts. Gone are the days of picking a lunchtime destination two valleys away, merrily making your way there then skiing back and that taking all day. No, here the routine is up-down-up-down-up-down. At least the views are nice.
Sadly my salopettes did not fit me. When I bought them they were too small (but very cheap) and I successfully dieted into them, mainly, as I recall by eating porridge. Not to be this time so I had to wear waterproof trousers but they will be a good gauge for me going forward. Once I'm in, I've won!

The casino in Queenstown was great fun though I’m very glad Wellington doesn’t have one or I would probably get addicted. We put up a stake of $100 to gamble, only needed $80 and after 2.5 hours on the blackjack and roulette, we still had $65 left. $15 – not bad for 2.5 hours’ entertainment!
Anyway, back to reality. I am still on the wagon. Just. Steve had his wisdom teeth out on Tuesday which means he’s eating soup, so I joined him. This is probably quite a good diet meal but is very very boring. Otherwise I have had sushi for lunch one day, two work lunches (yes, true to form I am continuously confronted with buffets) and made myself a couple of cabbage based stirfries. I really like cabbage but two cabbage stirfries in a row is a bit much. Will need to get more creative.
Oh, and I went for a run!!! We are unfortunate/fortunate in living in a very hilly city and there’s only one flat(tish) running route – down to Oriental Bay beach and back, about 5km. I can only do it a few times before I might have to brave some of the fiendish hills. Anyway as we live at the top of a little hill my runs usually end with an uphill. Sometimes it defeats me but this week I didn’t have any problems. Netball tonight so I am being pretty active, as usual. Exercise (or lack of it) was never my problem.
