Thursday 12th January 2012

POSITIVES 1. I went to the gym and worked really hard
2. I enjoyed my last chocolate for at least a month
3. I got an interview for the PGCE

Eventful day... busy day with work.. then to gym and worked hard on day 2 of c25k :D also did my food shopping and got muller lights for lunch, some apples and pineapple to smoothie... and got some jelly sweets/ mr kipling lemon or angel slices for after evening meal :D NO MORE CHOC from tomorrow am...

Scales will hopefully give me a sts tomorrow...

Now not having takeaway tomorrow as they are having chinese and I am not a fan.. boss was offering to cook (and may still do this) but I have bought the chicago town pizzas... 2 are 28pp which sounds a lot but will feel like a treat and only use a few weeklies compared to takeaway :D looking forward to poker...

Gonna draft my resignation letter this weekend... found out today that I have an interview for the PGCE... having a quick read of what i have to do is a bit scary.. just gonna prepare prepare prepare :D Will update properly over weekend as really must sleep!

Much love xx

 POSITIVES
1. I have lots of weeklies left :D
2. I managed a whole day without choc!
3. I am ready for a new week :D (and a new me!)

Well I survived day of no choc... got a bad head... think it might be withdrawal... I am trying not to replace choc with sweets/ cake.. but to be fair it doesn't seem to have the same addictive factor for me... I had a muller after lunch and then fruit pastiles after tea... so am aiming to just have one sweet thing a day and one yogurt....

And after tea (I hid the fact that I was eating because my boss offered to cook and I wanted to eat what I had bought...)I went to the poker night and the boys ordered chinese... I have never had Chinese before.. I had a tiny bit of chicken curry and rice, a few prawn crackers and tried a tiny tiny bit of rib.... was so proud of myself for trying new stuff.. I had such a small amount think is only 7pp.. out of curiousity.. how many pps would curry sauce be? Coz if I went to chinese I could probs just have curry sauce and boiled rice... was yummy!

No exercise as went straight from work at 7.45 to poker and got home at after midnight..

Oh and I STS - I will get a loss next week.. need to get my ass moving!

POSITIVES
1. I have weeklies left :D
2. I managed a day 2 without choc!
3. I am gonna do this :D

Well after day 2 of no choc the withdrawal symptoms are going away... I am finding cake/ sweeties easier to control.. I can't believe I have weeklies left :D WOOP!!!

No exercise today... I felt cack all day... and went to my friend's mum's 50th - was fun.. was gonna do just dance when I got home but then found out (at midnight)... that I needed to be at work at 8am (in Workington.... grrr).... so off to bed I went...

Sunday 15th January 2012
POSITIVES
1. I have weeklies left :D
2. I managed a day 3 without choc!
3. I did day 3 of C25k and 90 mins of my new just dance 3 game :D

Well I am well and truly in control :D so pleased with myself... hoping for a really good loss this week :D

Had to go through to Workington twice (two x 2hr round trip)... I am shattered... am off to bed soon... tried to write my resignation letter and ended up in tears... feeling really torn about it... know leaving is for the best but feel crap...Not had any time to do PGCE interview prep... will have to do it of an evening when I am free after gym lol

xx
 
I think it may help to write a lis of the positives for moving to the new job and then carry that around with you, so when you feel down and torn about it you can whip out the list and see why its the right decision for you.

hugs xx
 
hi,im new to weight watchers and minimins,here to follow your diary.:)
 
Hi Carly !!! I felt your pain about the chocolate.... I lurve, lurve lurve the stuff !!! Grrrrr !!! It is ALWAYS the biggest hurdle I face whenever I buckle down to healthy eating !!! Many years ago I was soo fed up about the control....or lack of control .... I had over it that I just gave it up ( killer cravings !!) I think I was chocolate free for like 18 months or so !!! Hehehe !!! I so wish I could be that strong again....
I can give up all alcohol, eating out, ALL other naughty treats, but chocolate CALLS to me daily.....

My new boss insisted on taking me out for dinner... and he wanted curry... so I just had half portions of rice and naan and didn't have all of my sauce.... and I wasn't going to have a starter but he ordered poppadoms... so I just had a little few...It was totally unplanned but I managed to have it within my APs that I had earned :D

It was a nice to have a few drinks too - felt relaxed... was a long day!! Came home, straight to the gym and then out for tea...xxx

Another busy day... gym and working late.. then night with my friend, wine and dvd :D was loads of fun! Feeling a bit better... SO MUCH WORK TO DO!!! ARGHHHHH

My PGCE interview is Wed so I have that to prepare for and I have a trial on Monday - so much work to do!! I just want to relax... lol Booked Tues off and the interview is all day Wed...

Oh and I handed in my resignation on Thursday... my boss didn't seem to bothered.. everyone else seemed more upset.. felt a bit gutted at the response and annoyed that people passed the news around when I planned to do it one at a time.. oh well.. At least the girls at the new job are looking forward to it...

If I am honest I was heartbroken today.. I found out that my boss was offering my good friend my job... it was only one day after I told him... I just felt like crap! everyone says "it's business" - I just thought it was soon and that his response was rubbish... Guess I made the right choice... but I am utterly terrified of starting the new job too... What if they don't support me as much, what if I am rubbish... what if they want me to do too much Crown Court stuff....

I think I am just confused... I am looking forward to saving money, earning more money and being local so I can meet people for lunch ... and I want to walk to work (so got a ww pedometer) and I will be nearer to gym... It is goin to be amazing :D

And I am going to try and buy some new suit dresses and stuff in 5 weeks just before I start the new job :D I hope to be a dress size smaller by then.. even though I have lost 2 stone 9lb I am still in the same clothes size.. which is naff! I will save measuring my inches for a few weeks.. :)

OH ... I lost 4lbs this WI - so pleased :DHoping to keep going with quite big losses :D xxx

Good for you Carly. Do u feel better in your mood when you've finished in the gym? I suffer from mental health issues and when I've been going to the gym it's the only time I can think logically and am relaxed. I come out literally buzzing:)
