Emily Rose: The Reboot
- Thread starter Emilyrose
- Start date
Oh, you poor thing with feeling so badly after a full-on night out! Hugs and all possible gentleness until you feel better.
But how pleasant to hear from the not-Londoner - smart, interesting, and a meeting in a cool coffee-bar sounds pretty good. (And cute! I missed that bit!) And happy birthday treats coming up, with SG - as well as other birthday presents, I expect - lovely!
Good for you for the tough birthday present of a smokesless future - that's major work, cutting them out after they've got a grip, so all power to you!

- I know right, LaMa?
- Haha, sometimes Cate.
- Haha, thanks Petal.
- Thanks Amy. I am starting with no smoking when I am not drinking and building it up from there. It means I get to ease into it with 2 days only. I know it will be challenging, but it really is what I need to do.
- Thanks Rob. Tomorrow!
So, the good news first. The scales are finally moving! It's all down to cutting out those 2 bottles of wine a week I was drinking at home. If you are on your laptop, you can see my signature, but if not, I just do a weigh-in every Wednesday and write down the results. Today marked the start of week 10 and I weighed in at 176.7 with body fat of 40.4%. Which is my lowest in both weight and body fat in the weekly weigh-in so far. I am truly delighted. I just feel like I'm finally making progress. Yes, it's snail's pace progress, but when I get another 7 pounds down, I'll really start to notice the difference. So that's great.
Bad news: That jerk I was meant to meet tonight ignored my text from earlier and has not got on to me at all. We are meant to be meeting in 45 minutes. I am fuming. I hate timewasters. No more chances for that waste of space.
I am still tentatively meeting SG tomorrow but he has a cold, so he could flake at the last minute. Whatever, I'll be 34 tomorrow, can't be dealing with these idiots anymore. Haha. They'll be sorry when I look like a movie star.

Congratulations on an excellent weigh-in!
They´ll be sorry as soon as they realize you´re done giving extra chances, right now while you look like your own wonderful self.

Good news indeed!! You should be delighted, I am for you!
Sounds like a wise decision. And if they had half a brain they'd already be sorry. I am sure you look close enough to movie star.
Keep up the good work, and enjoy your birthday, eat well and be happy!
Thanks for all the lovely birthday wishes everyone. What a lovely start to what turned out to be a very enjoyable day.
I won't talk too much about that, instead I will moan about how tired I am this evening. Lately, I am feeling cold all the time. I had so many layers on today and I was still really cold. It's so annoying. What does it mean?!
Coronavirus chat is the main topic of conversation everywhere at the moment. I'm not too concerned but I can understand why people are worried. It's just the fact that we don't know what way it will pan out that gets everyone all panicky and buying up stuff in the supermarkets in huge quantities, which is all so stupid. There's plenty to go around for everyone. We'll be fine.
Having a night in tonight, then going for some birthday drinks tomorrow. Had a few nice surprise texts from people saying they will drop in, so I hope it will be a fun night.
That's it from me for now, thanks again everyone.

I'm completely muddled now, about which day is/was which!
That is, whether that "tomorrow" was yesterday or today - but whichever it was, hope it's a great weekend for you, and that birthday cheer continues!- Thanks LaMa.
- Cheers Cate.
- Tomorrow is now today Amy. Hope that clears it up. (My bday was Thursday and I wrote that post Friday evening. It is now Saturday morning here. Hope that helps. x)
Back again so soon! I think I was actually coming down with something, as I went to bed at 7pm yesterday evening for what I thought would be a little nap. I didn't get up again and slept for an amazing 10 hours 31 minutes, which must be a new record. I kind of feel lucky that I have the luxury to just do that and avoid getting sick, whereas other people have so much on, there's no way they could just check out on a Friday evening like that. Anyway, we all make our own choices, don't we?
My resting heart rate is 65 this morning, one higher than yesterday even after sleeping so much, and that is highish for me, so I definitely feel like my body is warding off something. It could also just be a symptom of last week's excesses, which makes me a bit worried about alcohol consumption this evening, but hopefully I will be talking so much, I will drink less than usual.
Normally when I have these marathon sleeps, it's because I was drinking too much the night before, so I am happy to say that that didn't happen. I will keep saying it because I'm really proud of myself. And I was tested slightly, cos I called to SG's house and we normally drink together, but he had just one beer and I had orange juice. And it was okay! Turns out we didn't really need it!
It's very sad, one of the guys in the drama club texted me during the week to say he would come tonight, but I only heard recently that his mum passed away in January. He's only 25 or 26, so it's really sad for him. I don't know if she was ill or not, but I do remember that they couldn't make it to the play in November, so maybe she was. Anyway, it will be nice to see him later.
My plan for today is get up soonish, clean up my room, try to get a half hour walk in (maybe walk to get a coffee to sweeten the deal), then home home for a birthday lunch, back to town to get my hair done, home to eat a proper dinner before going out, and then out. Good day I think! Chat soon.
- Cheers Cate.

You have a right to be proud!
A big sleep every now and then - especially starting very early and getting up at a normal-ish time - can make such a difference, right?
Enjoy your night out
