I got woken up by my daughter's phone at 5.30am - couldn't seem to get back to sleep so what better thing to do than try on clothes? Was great fun! I also had to consider what I would actually wear today as it was going to be a team lunch event and I felt like celebrating whatever currently just began fitting me in case the team lunch left me a bit fatter than before :)
So I realised that the outfit I wore to my job interview there in Dec 2014 fits me now even better than it did then - It is a bit formal-formal and I haven't worn it to work since, as they have a casual-formal code but I thought it would be perfect for today.
To top off the great day (as if that isn't enough) we went to ASK and I had already mentally prepared myself to not be having my usual lunch fare, and to just pick whatever I liked and enjoy the detour, so I chose the (whatever they call it) chicken and mushroom risotto... then the last person to order at our table (the person of honour of the team lunch - our newest team member) suddenly asks if anyone will go half with her on a pizza - Filled with team-spirit and thinking rapidly that half a pizza is probably less calories than a whole risotto, I do the honourable thing. And she only wants the margarita - not my favourite pizza, but less calories than any of the others -Woo Hoo!
So I end up wearing my latest 'happy it fits me nicely' outfit, not eating nearly as many calories as I thought I would have to do, AND - at the end of the meal our boss says nobody needs to pay as he takes the bill himself. We were all happy to have paid and expecting to pay - but we were just as happy (probably much happier, come to think of it) to not have to :)
