Before After

How many days away is Friday?

Too many days away!

It's Tuesday morning and i'm buggered already.

Found out yesterday that my boy is basically being forced to take 2 weeks leave in 2 weeks time. Long story short, part of his work is being transferred to another state (he's staying locally) but it means the whole place will have to shut down for 2 weeks while they move.

Catch is, he doesnt have 2 weeks annual leave - only about 3 days. Which means he has to take basically 2 weeks of UNPAID leave, and they onyl gave us 2 weeks notice. Bastards.

It's okay on a way - because it means we're going to go away for a week or so just to get away from everything. But still, you like to budget for those kind of things.

I'm so lucky my work is accomodating.

Didnt go to the gym last night because we had a meeting for the boys gridiron club.

Am going to a combat class tonight though. So thats 45 minutes of working out. Tomorrow i plan to do the c25k (day two, week one!)

At reasonably well yesterday, couple of splurges though. an AMAZING scone with jam and cream for morning tea (i couldnt resist, scones are like one of my favourite foods) and i had a piece of pita bread with hommus before i went to bed (stupid, didnt need it - but not too evil).

NB: Turns out i was way over in calories. If i hadnt have eaten the scone and pita i would've been fine.

I need to learn to stop medicating myself with food. I've improved massively, but when im grumpy/sad/mad i still automatically reach for the fridge. The difference is before i'd get my hands on chocolate, chips, white bread (a big weakness for me) or ice cream. Now the worst thing i can find is Hommus and pita bread!

Thoughts going out to Kellymarie - hope the sickness/work situation gets better real soon.

Aw! I got a mention!

Aw - you're a sweetie! Thanks :) Improving slowly...

And yes.. Friday is a loooooooooong way away! I know!!!

Don't stress about the scone and other stuff, at least you're acknowledging what you're putting in your mouth! Hope you savoured the taste!!

Forgot something!

Oops! Forgot to mention my anger at what's happening to your boy...they deserve a few 4-star words, if you ask me. If they're making him take leave, they should pay him regardless of what time up he has. It's not like he wants the holiday!

grrr

Not real nice on your boy's work's part. It would be awful even if he WAS using full annual leave pay -who wants to use that just because you're asked to? Sucks.

You weren't that far over - and remember to give yourself allowances for all that awesome exercise you're doing!
