Hey MGF 
Hope it's better in your world.
Friday 17 March
Big cheat day today. No regular meals, no training, a few vodkas thrown in at dinner tonight. We went out to a fun restaurant - the final night for my guests - and we had a blast. I will miss them so much, they are truly awesome people (and we WILL see you again one day).
Weigh in Friday:
156 pounds (lost 1 pound, woo hoo)
28.3% bodyfat
A good week for weights and diet not so bad (though had one too many cheats). Realise that I can not away with minimal cardio so will step it up next week.
Have a great weekend everyone

The Weekend
Made Miss24k's pancakes for IP and Nelms, which they loved. We then walked the beach for about 90 mins and had lunch at the local surf club. We took them back to the airport late afternoon
I forgot to put sunscreen on my stomach before we walked and once the sun went down the pain set in. We had to cancel a birthday dinner with my brother in law and I basically slept for 15 hours. Sunday was a write off too - I didn't wear a hat so my scalp was burned and I really just slept on and off all day. Lost my appetite too. But when I was awake I drank a lot of water and applied aloe vera.
I am such an idiot!
Monday now, back at work, still a bit nauseous, but more determined than ever to achieve my goal. Following in Roony's and Bunny's footsteps to try and help my mental strength, I will attempt alcohol free/junk free periods. I have a work function on March 30 so from now until then I will be clean. The weekend will be the hardest point as always. I know it's only 10 days but I have to start somewhere.

LOL @ the cheerleaders, thanks getnfit06!
I've also decided just to post up my log once per week, with all the details. It will make it easier for me to see a pattern in my thinking day by day and also the record of cals and weights. I'm going to see how motivating the numbers are for me, in terms of pounds, bodyfat and increase in weights during training. PLUS, I'll post pics once every 4 weeks. I have to make these promises to myself and kick my head into gear.
So, next log will be Sunday 26 March, pics too (once the sunburn has subsided, LOL).
Still reading though - need my daily EF fix

I am so sorry to hear about your sunburn Mermaid!! If it makes you feel ANY better both nelms and I came away with quite a burn as well We went and got a Thai massage yesterday and wow did the burn sting!! LOL oops - guess the sunscreen didn't work so well... 
Great job on the decision to have 10 consecutive clean days! You are so right, you have to start somewhere and that is certainly an attainable goal! YOU CAN DO IT!!
We are currently at the Singapore airport, about to start our long journey back home! WHOAA We will, hopefully, be back in the office and back on the board in about 3-4 days.
I miss you guys already

Mermaid, IP & I miss you and P, already. We were sad EFers at the airport. You guys are awesome, and we can't wait to return the favor.
Everyone, this was one of the coolest things that IP and I have done. We couldn't have asked for more amazing people to meet and actually stay with. Mermaid and P are the kindest and generous people you can imagine. We won't forget it and are already trying to figure out how to get back together down the road.
Mermaid, remember the talk at the art studio and keep pushing forward. You are an awesome person, and you can always count on this: you have 2 crazy Americans that will always believe in you, your ability, and your capabilities. Use it.
We'll look forward to your next log on Sunday. 
Say hello to P!
