Gutted

So I'm up one pound. I am a bit gutted, but I guess it's to be expected. I'd usually walk for half an hour a day, and now I can't and we've eaten out a few times. I guess I just need to kick my butt in to gear and get sorted. I hate myself for gaining

Sorry

I've been a bit quiet on the old writing and commenting. I think it's a case of boredom. I am bored, bored, bored. Day time TV sucks and there is only so much you can do on the Internet.

We are either going to weigh in tonight or tomorrow, but I don't think I've done so well on the weight loss this week. As I'm not steady on my feet, hubby has been in charge of cooking, so lets just say we've eaten out once or twice.

I'm not so keen on the going out while I'm on crutches. Everyone looks at me as if they've never seen anyone on crutches before. I don't like it.

I still have 3 plasters on my leg with stitches underneath them, and I'm not allowed to take the plasters off although they are DRIVING ME CRAZY!!!!!!!!!!! And I'm not allowed to get them wet which makes showering difficult, but we found a way round it using cling film!!

I have my first physio appointment this afternoon. I know it's going to hurt, so I'm not looking forward to it. I'm already in quite a lot of pain today, I don't need anymore . I discovered some bruises on the back of my leg which I didn't know were there, so I got all upset over that this morning. Hubby knew they were there but didn't tell me coz he thought I knew.

I haven't really said too much about my knee and the pain and that because that isn't what this blog is about and to be honest, I didn't think you'd want to know. I've been overwhelmed by text messages, phonecalls, flowers etc from my friends and family. I've had quite a few visitors too. I'm still bored though!!

I Have a Fat Knee

Well, OK, it's swollen, but it does look fat. I have 3 incisions and I am in a considerable amount of pain. I am on crutches, and am being waited on by hubby and being told off if I try to do anything. The novelty is starting to wear off a bit! I was quite poorly in hospital on Thursday, but that's a long boring story you don't want to hear about. I have been inundated with text messages and phonecalls which has been really nice. Although, Friday's text messages and phonecalls I don't really remember much about as my painkillers pretty much knocked me out!!

Anyway....

I got the job!!! I go on pre training on 19th Feb and will go on my actual training on 29th Feb and 1st March and will be starting my own group Easter week! Woohoo - GO ME!!!! I could have had my pre training tomorrow with my training being on 8th and 9th Feb, but it's a bit too soon after my op, so we decided to push it back - but it's OK, it's all good! I'm really excited!

Tonight

Well, I lost half a pound tonight, which considering what I have been up to this week, I am pleased with. 9.5lbs to go until I'm at target. I wonder how long it'll take me to get there?

In other news....

Interview went quite well. I'm yet to be officially told the job is mine, as they have to do credit checks and that, but unofficially, it's mine!! The woman who will be my regional manager was there tonight and she was also the one who interviewed me and she was talking to me about setting up groups and that. Plus the fact they wouldn't bother doing a credit check if they didn't want me.

Also, my friend has asked me to be bridesmaid, which I am really chuffed about. They haven't set a date yet, but I am so flattered to be asked!

And lastly, it's my op tomorrow. I have to be at the hospital for 7.30am. Not sure what time my surgery will be, but I will update you as soon as I feel ok to do so.

Don't miss me too much

Poorly Sick

I am ill.

I have a sore throat and I've been in bed a bit this afternoon. I was also tired coz we had a late night last night. I can't get ill. Not now. It's my op on Thursday and if I'm ill they won't do it!!

In other news. I have an interview on Monday night at 6.30pm GMT (synchronise your watches!!!) to become a SW consultant. Send positive thoughts my way!!!

If I'm feeling ok, hubby and I are going to go and play badmninton tomorrow, so that'll be good. Although my competitive side will come out!!

Hope you are all well! x

Woohoo!!

2.5lbs off this week!! I'm so pleased. Group was boring as hell tonight. We went to a different one and the woman who runs it isn't a patch on Jo, the one who usually runs ours!

10lbs to go until target. Not expecting a loss next week. A maintain will do. I am going out for dinner tomorrow. I am on a hen night on Saturday and then we are at friends for lunch on Sunday!!

I'm still alive!!

Hi! Sorry I haven't been around much the last few days. It's all been a bit mad.

Well, Saturday night at my works do was good. Dinner was relatively healthy, it was only the pudding that was naughty. And I only had 2 drinks. It was a pirate theme which was good fun. Txlass said I needed to take some more pics, so.....

Here's what I wore:

I felt like shit all day on Sunday though. I wasn't well at all. I had to go to the recruitment day feeling poorly! It was good though. I'm quite positive about the whole thing. I'm waiting for someone to ring me this week to set up an interview for next week and we go from there.

I'm on a course this week, and the people I'm on it with haven't seen me since October, so I've lost quite a bit of weight since then, and the reaction from them has been fantastic. One guy didn't even recognise me. The only pain in the arse has been my tutor. She keeps talking to me about it and bringing it up in conversation and it's doing my head in "Oh, you must have a whole new wardrobe now" "The difference is amazing" etc etc. Once or twice is OK, but it's all she wants to talk to me about. If she hasn't got anything else to say, then fine, I'm happy for her not to have a conversation with me at all, but for goodness sake, stop it. She also passes around fun size Cadbury chocolate bars, and she tells everyone not to pass any to me as she doesn't want to spoil my diet. But I'm nearly 27, surely I'm old enough and ugly enough to make my own mind up?

Anyway. Enough ranting. I'm weighing in a day early this week as I am out on Thursday night, so will update tomorrow!!

I'll leave you with another picture

So..

... I lost a measley half a pound tonight. But I guess I should be pleased with that after Tuesday.

It's a big posh works do on Saturday with a preset menu that I don't get a choice in, but I'm not planning on drinking much even though there is an open bar. Tuesday night was enough to put me off!

I'm also starting to get a bit nervous and teary about my op. I really wish I hadn't told hubby not to take the day off coz I think I'm gonna need him there. But he doesn't get as much leave as me and I don't want him to waste it on waiting around all day.

Worse for Wear

I feel so guilty. I drank far too much wine yesterday, and I had a chocolate bar.  I don’t think the scales will be my friend tomorrow night on weigh in.

Two weeks and one day until my op
