Wow... 7128 unread posts... Put on a pot of coffee, I may be some time.........
I'm back from my little breakdown
I've reached a turning point. I never wanted the morning panic of wtf do I wear, because I know deep down nothing I have fits correctly anymore, and makes me look like a fat ass Beth Ditto impersonator with frizzy hair. But I get that panic sometimes, in fact recently more often than not. I don't like that panic. That panic this morning made me park up in the far corner of Asda's car park and be 45 minutes late for work. I promised myself that I would never get like that, anxiety-wise, again. There was a time when I was at my lardest when I would walk to the end of the street, panic, head home, and get changed, redo my makeup and hair two or three times, and still feel like a mess going to work. Yes that says "at my lardest". It was a typo, meant to say "largest" but it seems appropriate somehow!!
Let's throw some numbers in here. Without timescales, cos that just makes it twice as depressing - I started at 21st2, I was down to 16st8, and I am currently 19st6. Slippery slope doesn't cover it, and there are too many excuses.
So I had a moment of realisation, sat in that car park this morning. And today, some of you may have read on my facebook thing.... I have been 100%. Seriously. Tracked everything, done my 30 mins exercise for the day, stayed within points, drunk my 2l of water, not managed my 5-a-day, but I will in time... I HAVE BEEN 100% TODAY. I have amazed myself. ONE DAY. You're all probably thinking "so bloomin what, we've all been doing that for months..." Thing is, I haven't, I have struggled, I have had problems sticking to it, problems being honest with myself, problems in general with wanting to lose weight but I guess not wanting it bad enough.
Well now I do.
2010 aint over, yet.
PS - Bollcks to work. I have a meeting with my manager tomorrow to discuss things. I think we might run over the alloted 30 minutes that the meeting room is booked for.
PPS - <3 you all xx

it only takes one day, at a time, to have done a week, a month a year. One day is the start. I intend to do the same tomorrow.

Jen, can we both make a pact to take it day by day and be as close to being 100% as we possibly can but not throw in the towel if we stray over the line slightly...just reign it back in the following day??!!
It is so difficult but we know we CAN do it...we HAVE done it before...!
SO here's to a fabulous Tuesday........me thinks ur boss dsnt want to lose you! Here's hoping there may be a permanent position avail and payrise to boot!!!

Thank you all, once more, for your lovely thoughts, kind words and randomisms Much smiling up in Aberdeenshire from me!
Right on track, today!
Made a bacon & egg toastie for breakfast, and followed that with a banana and yogurt, before deciding that yes, I would actually turn up to work today...
When cakes went round for it being someone's birthday, HAHA! Jenny dives into her drawer and has two WW Ginger and Lemon cookies instead! They're ok too, not as bad as I had feared, and not nice enough for me to want more, which is good!
Lunch is the Salmon Wedges meal, 5.5 points, and I am totally stuffed.
I have a WW cookie bar for my afternoon cuppa - 1.5 points and so so good. I actually [may want to sit down for this] like these better than a bar of galaxy
Tea - Biker's taking me out for tea, cos I told him to. No other reason, I just made a very dramatic point that he hasn't taken me out since February, bar London, which was a holiday so does not count. I think we're going to a pub in town which doesn't have a menu online, so I will be sensible there.
My week's plan is a bit messy given the socialising, and the turbulence at work with people leaving, starting, month end reporting, it's a bit crazy.
Monday - Work, line dancing. 22 points fast start plan
Tuesday - Work, overtime, gym if possible but may not have time, out for tea with fella - 27 points full allowance
Wednesday - Work, overtime, gym. Leaving lunch for colleague, chinese buffet. :| Allowing 27 points for the day, light breakfast and a light tea
Thursday - Work, Overtime, Gym & WW class - 22 points fast start
Friday - Work, Overtime, Gym, girlie night out cancelled :'( so 22 point fast start.
Saturday + Sunday - No plans, 27 points allowed, NO ROOM FOR GOING OVER
Then next week to my Weigh In on Thursday - 22 points Fast Start.
I discussed this with the consultant, she said it was ok
Right, better get back to work - Just thought I'd pop in for a few minutes as I am being wined and dined tonight. Without the wine....

Hey hun
I'm sorry to hear that the interview didn't go well and that your manager is being a knbber. Definitely sounds like the situation I was in, they needed me more than I needed them but they would never admit it.
Did you go to sunset boulevard bowling by any chance, I used to work there many years ago my friend was at a team building night there the other day, I wonder if you work for the same company.
How lovely of BB to take you out for dinner too, I hope you enjoy.
You can do this chicken, you know you can, anyone that can resist the birthday cakes and have ww's cookies deserves a medal, well done you
Have a lovely day hun

Thank God you're back!
We <3 you more x x x
I never do anything without the wine.
So glad to hear you sounding so positive Jen. You're a little star! Well done for being 100% that's great news.
Hurray for you and good luck on the first few days at 100% which, IMO, are always the hardest.
Big hugs x

Yes!! Down at Codonas, it was good fun!! I'm not mad keen on bowling in general, but we go there for the mini-golf too, I dunno if that was there when you were here, since I have only been here a couple of years... They have a congo type jungly themed indoor crazygolf and a pirate themed outdoor crazygolf
There was another group of people there, they were all in checky shirts and jeans, maybe a cowboy themed night, I'm not sure. They looked like they were having more fun than us
hahaAint they just..... I did it though! 100% and with my meals out and about, I got a STS this week, which I am actually delighted with!!!!
Loss next week, gonna happen, yus yus!!!!
Hey hey people! No Kals, not missing in action!! Just had a couple of manic days with work and stuff, and haven't had a second to myself. Monday was a 10 hr day, Tuesday 13 hrs, Wednesday 13 hrs, today I managed 9 hrs.... Baring in mind there are at least 2 hours driving added on to this, it's pretty long days! I'm starting to get tired though, so will be headed for an early night!
The latest on work is that I have had my contract terminated, and that I am being taken on by the corporate agency, which is a part of the company I work for that works as an employment agency. So I am still a contractor, still working in the same role at the same place and getting the same pittance. As it stands, I am working my notice, but don't have my new contract. Hence the working as much overtime as I can just in case............
Sorry, but after recent events, I trust this company. NOT!
Word seems to have got out that I am back on the market - 6 calls today about work, and I've gone forward for a couple of roles. My agency are pee'd off that my company is terminating their agreement, and want to keep me on their books..
Work is kinda taking over my life at the moment. It's crap! I need a good weekend, and instead I have Captain Grumpypants to deal with :|
Roll on Glasgow!!!!! xx

Sweet wrapper fetishist.
Agree with Nik - can't believe they have terminated your contract purely because you applied for another role! Cheeky b*stards! Anyway - hopefully the 6 phone calls you've had have reminded you how great you are and how much work there is out there for you. Good on you for having another go and looking at some new roles.
Sorry to hear work is stressful Jen - but also leased to hear the agency are supportive of you!
Hope Cap'n Grumpypants can at least give you a big hug today to cheer you up.
Big hugs from me anyway x x x
P.S. SO cross about your boss I forgot to say - 100%?!!! Flucking well done, you're a hero!

It's not that bad! I'm still employed and that, I still get the same wages, I'm just moving on to the company's agency, instead of my preferred agency.
It means that instead of paying an external agency my wages + £16 an hour, they pay an internal company my wages + £5 an hour, thus saving about £11 an hour. It's more the principal of the thing than the actual thing itself.
They aren't actually sacking me.
Its just that the internal agency is notoriously useless at paying people on time or the right amount....
I'd better get back to my course, we were given a 5 minute break, so I ran here
And grumpypants - has pee'd me off. I want to smack him in the head. More on that later
All smiles and sunshine today, haha. Over n Out xxx
