I had 2 kumara 2 med potatoe halves, half parsnip small pumpkin whitemeat of turkey stuffing and HUGE AMOUNT of VEGES (greens), followed BY home made trifle and whipped cream YUMMO!!! I also had 12 mini snax crackers with PATE, 2 small handful chips and some dip, a small handful NUTS, 5 scorched ALMONDS I managed to drink 2 litres of WATER through the day!!!! I had 1 RTD, and I Franks sparkling lime and bitters SO I FEEL I didn't do too badly!!!

After our mammoth BREKKIE which I didn't have as much as the others had , we waited until my friend got home from work then the presents began, MY SON got spoiled as he does 6 BOOKS 2 CD's 2 DVD's Gear Bag toiletries a Hexbug (really cool it moves and changes direction to CLAPS)(CAT SPOOKED already!) and THE BESTEST PRESSIE(thanks to Chris H and Stew for picking up AND POSTING!)

I got up at 6am this morning and waited until 6.30am before I COULD WALK!!! TOTALLY PISSED OFF I walked 5km IN 1 HOUR and 30 MINS!!!!!!!!!! TOTALLY NOT ON I can do at LEAST 8 - 9 m in that time FARKKK! and heres why.

A: my legs were sore and tight from last 2 days (GOOD), B: they were heavy and bloaty FROM YESTERDAYS EATING (NOT GOOD), C: I did one lap 1.8km and stopped for the third trip to the toilet!!! THEN I WAS determined to keep going and I DID I GOT 95% of the way around the 2nd LAP and HAD TO RING my friend at 7.15am as she was heading out to WORK, I MADE IT with nano seconds to spare!!! Now I am settling down on the PIT STOP problem, BUT this morning after being twice (TMI I KNOW) and having to call in home on the way around the first LAP I GO AGAIN, so I DO and I MARCHED straight back out and did A SHORT LAP got home 8am, 1 and a half hours 3 toilet stops BUT GLAD I perservered!!!! I KNOW output matches INPUT of food BUT GOD REALLY give me a break!!!!!!
