Vile :(
I've not been writing my blog for a little while because I just feel vile. I've not stopped eating junk and my body has decided to get it's own back. I just look horrible. I'm all bloated and yet I still want junk.
As you all know I got a promotion at work and just don't think I was prepared for how much work it was going to be. I've been grabbing half an hour dinner so by the time I get home I want to eat everything in sight - and I do! The shift is Mon-Thurs and is pretty much 10-9. Any ideas on how I can structure my eating into this? Bearing in mind I don't have a great deal of time but can munch at my desk? Exercise has also taken a back seat because to be honest, it's not been on the list of priorities, never mind at the top! So basically I need a plan to get myself back on track. Oh and I don't dare to weigh myself.
On a brighter note, I finished the Great Manchester Run last Sunday in 1 hour 51 mins which is nearly 10 mins faster than last year so I am proud of myself there. As ever though, I failed on my goal last year to run it in shorts, or look any thinner 
. The one in green is me last year and the one next to it is this year. See? I look the same
I was stupidly happy here though! Actually on reflection, I did really well. I need to stop beating myself up don't I?

I think you do look like you've lost weight in the more recent photo!
Do you have a gym called Gymophobics or Curves near you? They do 30 minute work outs which I find fit into my day better. When I decide to go that is!!
Don't put yourself down so much. You just really need to focus on your goal.

Personally I think you should be feeling very proud of yourself, you made the decision to do the 10k and you done it, completed it and survived it from to finish you saw it through, wich proves you can stick to something and make it a sucess if you chose to.
Your shift at work is a LONG one s it just one 30min break you get? my day is much shorted but only get 20min break so i get the no time thing but I also can munch at my desk have a good breakfast while at home then a snack at work at your desk, a meal (you can eat cold at your desk tuna pasta/salad/crackers blah blah) LUNCH then a snack then evening take your break and have a meal meal on your day off cook a batch of meals and freeze them and take them so couple mins in micro and you have a meal for dinner then your not eating silly amounts before bed, then a snack when you get home, lots of litttle meals... but really if your entitled to more breaks you should take them for your head if nothing else... hopefully you can delegate some of your workload also, a good manager always delegates... call it staff developement 
Sounds like your job has you running about enough Id not bother with trying to squeeze exercise in work days till your more settled feeling better and got teh energy an just try and do something anything on your days off even a walk in the park just something, then when your in your groove add to it. hope some of this helps... don't feel vile, feel proud and the expression on your face in the two pics tells a thousand stories... id say your 10mins faster time and face says you found it much easier this year
