Where'd the weekend go?

It doesn't seem to matter whether I have a no plans weekend or a hectic one - they all go by too fast.

Had quite a busy weekend as it happens. Got home from work on Friday feeling knackered and shivery and was out for the count by 9pm. Hello TOTM - you snuck up on me this month. Got a STS at weigh in which I'm fine with - the odds on a loss this week were already poor thanks to Hovis thick white slice and Cadburys...............and of course my over-indulging in both of these products!!!

Anyhow, I went on a fairly heavy going 13 mile bike ride on Saturday with hubby and friends. Its amazing how everyone is chatty at the start of a ride and how quickly the chat falls off as concentrating on ignoring how tired you are takes over. It was really hot on Saturday and I found myself wishing for a bit of an arctic blast at one point!

Sunday was all about the "Keep Johnny Walker in Kilmarnock" March & Rally. The day was to kick off at noon at one of the local parks and it had been hoped that many thousands of people would turn out in support. Got to the park just before noon - it was bucketing down with rain and OMG there's only about 100 people there. Looked like it was going to be a total non-event. Anyhow, the plan was to leave the park at 1.00pm and march around the town to finish at another park where the rally was being held. Well I have to say I am very proud of my home town - around 20 thousand did turn out, the weather brightened and if it makes no difference to the final outcome, at the very least no-one will ever be able to say that Kilmarnock didn't care and went out with a whimper. (Got a bit of a lump going just typing this)

Plans for this week are straightforward - best points behaviour! I have been invited to a wedding reception on 22nd August and I have a gorgeous dress that is about 1/2 a stone off of fitting me perfectly. It fits already, but I reckon another few pounds (or a bit of a tone up) will give me a better comfort factor. So that, my friends, is my next mini goal.
