Distracted thoughts at lunchtime

I'm so distractible today. I keep getting distracted. One moment I'm studying a book jacket or sample, the next moment I'm thinking about how nice it would be if I can just stay home and blog, or even do yoga. Or write. Or... sleep.

Last night gathering with the girls was quite a disappointment. A couple of girls were ill, others had family commitments and Nur was working herself to death - or so it sounded to me, poor thing. I think Maddy, who organised it, almost called it off, but I begged her not to by saying as long as there's someone going, I would. So it turned out to be just Maddy, Z and me. We went for a buffet dinner at a hotel in town and stuffed our faces silly while updating each other on our work, families, and discussed potential holiday plans together. Some time next year... but I can't confirm anything. Wish I had more money for sure. It was nice getting together, but as usual, I wished everyone's lives were not in the way.

So... yesterday, despite walking down Orchard Road, and back and forth from the buffet table LOL, I only clocked slightly over 3000 steps. Which is pretty low. But I'm just measuring my average number of steps for this week - next week onwards I'll start working on increasing the total number of steps I take daily and to finally reach 10,000 steps a day. Like I said, this is my umpteenth attempt at weight loss and a healthier me. As usual, wish me luck.

I'm trying to console myself with the thought that maybe on the day that I stop trying, I should die curl up and die. Or something.

Or consider bariatric surgery, at least. The thought gives me the shudders. I keep reading about how it has changed the lives of other people, and I'm sure it will change mine. It's just that it still sounds scary to me and I'd rather not have to resort to it.
