Awww you guys are awesome!!!!!

I wasn't in the best mood when I sat down. it's 8.30pm and I haven't stopped since getting out of bed at 6.30am and it's been another crazy day!! I know most peoples lives are like that, some days just seem harder than others but I've just read your lovely comments and they have really cheered me up :beating::beating: Thank you so much.

Anyway.........I lost 1.5lb. It could have been better but it was a dent in the Christmas gain.

Also, I forgot that, as helpers at Weight Watchers, we get a tiny percentage of what is earned (don't understand how they work it out) and they give it to us at Christmas. She forgot to give it to us so we had it today and my little packet of cash was £42!!!!! We don't pay to be weighed each week like normal members as a perk of helping out and last year when I got money I was really surprised as I didn't know anything about it and again i'd totally forgotten about it this year. I have decided that I am going to use mine to pay for a month at the gym :eek: and put the rest hopefully towards next months gym. Its £33 to just pay each month. If I do use it a lot and its worth it I will do a standing order which is down to £28. My foot has been so so painful today, I think i'll get Mark to strap it up for me. I was in surgery today so lots of walking. 11,300 steps of walking and I haven't done any 'exercise' today!!!!! Still people off sick so starting earlier and working all day in surgery again tomorrow, Thursday and Friday.......and i'm working Saturday morning too. 50 hours this week :( The reason I thought the gym would be a good idea is that 1. treadmill is easier to walk/run on than the pavement and 2. I can use other equipment that isn't going to make my foot sore. I'm going to go after work tomorrow, I know I've got another long day but I thing it will help me wind down.

Sorry to rant and run again but i'm gonna have a nice long soak in the bath and get into bed with a book for half an hour before I no doubt fall asleep.

Love to you all and thank you so so much for cheering me up being such an awesome group of people. xoxoxo

Whoop whoop movement on the ticker below :D

Whoop Whoop!!!
That was funny Kate as when you said you had been ranting & raving I thought "Really? Have you?" I hadn't noticed! Enough of the apologies already hon. We are all only human. This is your diary, xoxo
 
Also: people may pretend that working days like yours are normal, but they're not. Quite a few people, including me, couldn't do it. So you are allowed to think it's really hard sometimes.
Also also: take care of that foot and get it checked out soon if it doesn't get better.
 
1.5lbs down! Well done lovely. That's excellent about WW - I helped at my Slimming World group years ago and got sweet fuck all... I might jump ships!!
 
Hi Guys

Thanks again for all your amazing comments and support. It truly does blow me away.
I told Mark when he got home last night (he got home after me, he had been home but was out again) about my idea of the gym and he said that it would probably be better if I just used the money to pay as I went to the gym because I put too much pressure on myself to go and the fact that i'd paid for a month meant I would feel pressured into going lots to 'make it worth the money' and he is right. I was going to go after work but was just too tired and also I am having 'period issues' i'll go into that in a minute and give you guys that don't wanna know the chance to skip that bit :p I also had a read of some of the 'journal' I write (another thing I make myself do every day and fail at) and all it is is me setting myself targets or going on about things i'm not going to do and constantly failing at. So, I decided that each morning I will think of something simple for that day and give it a go. Today's was to not complain about anything or anyone and it was actually really funny trying not too........foot pain, period issues, computer issues, steriliser issues, people, the mess in my house and being knackered :eek::rolleyes: but I remained in a good mood all day.
I had a great food day today. Really pleased with myself, I didn't even think about food as a 'struggle' today. Did over 10,000 steps just doing my 'day' and drank most of my water. I've even stopped sugar in my coffee and gone back to sweetener!!! AND I even had a green tea:eek::eek:
Didn't get my 30 active minute but I don't care ;)

OK, period talk so feel free to skip this bit;).............I mentioned the other day that over the last few years my periods have been a bit all over the place and the last two have been about 30 days late, well, last night I started properly flooding!!!! I have had heavy periods before, usually my first day is heavy and then it eases up but this!:( I have had to use both a towel and tampon and change about every hour all day and it doesn't seem to be letting up. I was on the verge of calling and making a doctors appointment but I had a chat with a few of the others at work who have been thru 'the change' and they had some funny stories of it happening to them too so that made me feel much better :) I'm hoping it explains the 'weird shaky, hot spells' I've been having. I might still make an appointment at the doctor but not in a rush.

Period talk over. lol

I am not going to make promises with exercise tomorrow cos the weather is gonna be proper shite but i'll go to the gym if i'm up for it after work. Mark strapped my foot up last night (we watched a you tube clip on how to do it) and it was sooo much better today. Had to take pain killers all day but it didn't get me down :)
Just had a lovely hot bath and gonna get him to re-do it tonight too.

We are suppose to get 'Thundersnow' tomorrow!!!! What ever the hell that is lol

Onwards



 
Hi hon. Well done on getting through a tough day. Choosing one thing each day is a wise move. Paying as you go at the gym is a good idea too. I hate it when I put too much pressure on myself. I'm inclined to not do things I want to, just because I feel pressured. Re the period stuff. I went through something similar. It was horrendous. I had a very large fibroid & it had to go, along with my Uterus. Get yourself checked out sweets, please.
Thundersnow? Doesn't sound good :eek:
& upwards :D
 
That Mark fella of yours seems to know you pretty well ;) I'm the same way with the pressure. Isn't it weird how we think scolding ourselves, threatening ourselves and beating ourselves up for little things (or even things we have no control over) will help us in some way while the same behavior towards animals or kids would look (and be) abusive?
 
Thundersnow?! How exciting. Portsmouth is due to be cold and wet. Doubt very much we will get snow this close to the south coast! Sorry about periods..sounds grim :(
 
Hi Guys.

Period 'flooding' is worse, if that's even possible, today!!! No pain but I have also turned into a bloated, hormonal nightmare!!! Our son, Jack, who is nearly 18 has massively pissed me off today and lazy people at work had got me fuming. I'm too bloody nice and do too much helping others and then it gets to me sometimes when it's taken for granted. They all fucked off home early leaving me there on my own to finish off, i'm still doing my stuff cos I've done everything else while they sat around on reception chatting. I'm surprised I didn't let rip at them today. Actually, i'm not cos i'm too much of a coward to actually say anything and i'll keep being too nice and keep being taken advantage of. i'll stop helping and going above and beyond for a few days and then I will go back to being the same. :( I wanted to scream, I wanted to cry, I wanted to sit in a dark corner and ignore the world.
Mark was lovely when I got home, bless him. I do feel better now but massive row with Jack when he comes in is going to happen so that wont last.
BUT.............
Even with all this I didn't have a 'fuck it' day. I had taken a massive chunk of our Christmas cake to work for them so it wasn't here to tempt me at home and it's now there to tempt me at work cos they are taking ages to bloody eat it. When Jack pissed me off I so so wanted to eat the last big chunk of mainly icing!!!! You'll never guess what I did...........I threw it all in the bin :eek::eek::D
THEN, had to go to the supermarket after work, grumpy, on the verge of tears and hungry.............Did I buy anything bad? NOPE :D Came home and made my smoothie slop for tomorrow and had eggs and mushrooms on toast while Mark had a pizza I bought him.

Jack has just come home and the first thing he did was to apologise for being 'a cock' :eek: Still have to have a chat with him about a few things but at least he hasn't come home in arsehole mode and won't be on the defensive :)

So, really good food day, nearly reached 10,000 steps just from being at work. drank half my water and my foot is loads better, no pain killers :)

Thank you so much again, for your lovely comments.
Cate I have made an appointment to see the doctor and I've made a note in my diary of what's been going on to tell her. Thank you for being my mum :beating:

LaMaria Mark and I have been together for nearly 27 years. I've been with him since I was 16 and he is my soulmate. :D

Anyway, chat with Jack to have.

Onwards :cool:
 
What Cate said: well done! Also: even just a few days of not going above and beyond are sometimes helpful.
 
You super star. 18 year olds are horrible - I was a vile, vile teenager. We improve with age, I promise! Well done for not having a fuck-it day <3
 
Hi Guys

Sorry for the absence, No excuse really, I have been busy but, also lazy :oops:

Friday was a bloody hard day! I felt so shaky and weird and did eat more than I wanted to but mainly to keep going. I was still 'flooding'!!!! I had a really really hard day with it, completely drained and everything was a struggle. :( Then had Explorers (i'm a leader) and pretty much went straight to bed when I got in. One of our leaders is leaving and moving away and everyone was going out afterwards, I didn't go, there was no way I was going to deal with that. 'flooding' was freaking me out and I felt shite too.

Worked Saturday until about 2pm (50 hour week for me this week :eek:) then went straight to do the weekly food shop. Came home, unpacked it all, had a hot bath and went to bed. Still flooding, still bloated and now having period pains too :( But, I did go out Saturday night (no drinking, dry January and February for me :D) our good friends son has been accepted into a dance school in London and it was his farewell supper. I did eat badly there but I didn't finish my meal :) and didn't blow it all completely by having any wine :D

Didn't get my sorry arse out of bed until 11 yesterday morning. Still 'flooding', bloated and hurting. Got up cleaned my teeth, took my meds, went down stairs, made coffee and toast, then curled up on the sofa with a duvet which is where I stayed all day!!!! I didn't over eat yesterday but definitely didn't get my steps in either :rolleyes:
Today has been better. I was on reception so little activity really but last night was the first night since last Monday where I haven't had to get up and 'change' during the night! and today seems back to a normal period!!! Yay :D had some pain this morning but much better this afternoon.
Had a good food day but lazy with the exercise :( Running club starts on Thursday :)

hope everyone is good. Love and hugs and i'll try and catch up better tomorrow. Weigh day tomorrow :eek:

Onwards Xoxoxo
 
So glad you´re starting to feel better! Giving your body a rest when it´s on overtime feeling meh is not being lazy in my book. It´s taking care of yourself, which I highly recommend.
 
Oh, honey! You poor thing. The flooding is horrendous. I had put it out of my mind. I hope that gets sorted quick smart. Lots of love Kate xoxo
 
Heya

Weigh day and I lost another 1.5lb :) Could have been better but i'm ok with that, seeing as I've not had a great food week, been pretty lazy and had period issues!

I woke up this morning to find all had gone 'light' Yay! so was really chuffed that it was all over but then about an hour later I was proved very wrong:mad::( I was so so pissed off, I was so close to tears and was very grumpy. I had a bit of a 'fuck it' lunch but the whole day wasn't a right off and things did seem to calm down again as the day went on.

Totally back on it tomorrow and i'm going to start at a running club on Thursday o_O

Movement on the ticker :D



 
Nice to see some movement on that ticker Kate. I do so hope this settles down for you soon hon xoxo
