So five days down in my new mission and Mother Nature has screwed with me in every which way possible: three out of five things I wanted to undertake to make my days different involved being outside. Still all is not lost as I had to get slightly more creative with my 'unusual' tasks.
The first thing I did with my new commitment to change things up a bit was go from blonde to brunette: only one person (outside of hubby who helped me rinse) noticed. Well, I could say two but the second knew something was different but couldn't quite put her finger on it.
I just kept telling myself that this mission was all about making my life different and it didn't really matter that I'm apparently invisible to the world around me (cue the world's smallest violin).
The past five days have also seen me: ignore my morning alarm (felt so rushed all day), visited a dietitian (I found it informative, hubby now thinks he's in hell), went to cricket without scoring (not doing that again anytime soon), I'm about to go bidding in an on-line auction, and....
Broke a mission.
Yep, I'm ashamed to say it but I failed in my attempt to go 28 days without chocolate. It wasn't a conscious thing, I'd had a couple glasses of bubbly at a Trivia Night for cricket and after my fellow WAGs fought so valiantly to keep the gold coins away from our respective players - they wanted to waste them to wine a bottle of cheap-ass wine - for a mid-game chocolate run, I got so caught up in our success that I'd eaten three pieces before I realised what was going on - oops!
Still, in my defense once I realised what I was doing I stopped immediately. But then there was that last piece of Mint Bubbly.....
