Petals diary

I haven’t really seemed to have time to write much .
still can’t think of much right now except to say walking is going well . Food not too bad . Finding working from home now very slow and frustrating. Looking forward to a few days off now for Easter . Even if only staying at home .
 
I wish I could help you with your work... It must be frustrating to be so busy while so many others are bored out of their minds!
 
That’s kind of you LaMa . No I’m more frustrated just trying to get things to work and get my work uploaded and sort meetings etc . Not frustration from being busy .
 
Fingers crossed that all gets fixed quickly. One advantage of this whole thing may be that home office infrastructure will be more available for people who´d prefer not to commute as much.
 
I feel that almost everything will change. I hope that those who prefer to work from home & commute less will have that choice & those who prefer the structure & going to the office will still have that choice.
Hope you get it all sorted, Petal xo
 
I'm looking forward to the Easter break too Petal. I definitely prefer the structure of the office, but I'm learning this week to wind down a little bit. I don't have the same volume of work, so I'm taking that into consideration when I plan out my day.

The team meetings are really a highlight.
 
Hello everyone sorry I have missed a day ..

Work stuff improved a bit in so far as my technology got a bit easier and I have team meetings now set up.
yesterday I was unwell too from around lunchtime but feel better today .
walking going great and eating not too bad .
still same weight so at least not a further gain
 
I'm glad work improved, Petal & that you bounced back so quickly from feeling unwell xoxo

Hey Petal, for someone in your position no gain is good. With the walking are you trading some fat for muscle? Or water in the muscle anyway as LaMa would point out. I bet you are.
 
Good morning all. LaMa yes work is a bit better , got a big monitor and also can print now. I am working harder though it's intense and am still a bit peeved I maybe working harder than ever for less but everyone seems to be having issues with that.
Em I am living the weather but I have no clothes that fit really but then again no one sees me so no worries. Dunnes have literally nothing in clothes that are decent.
Thsnks Cate I had horrible tummy and back cramps , in hindsight like hormonal ones . Rob I'm not sure , I do feel i am getting more toned for sure. I wore the jeans yesterday I bought in Feb and they were pretty loose on me.

Had a good day yesterday. Had a bit of run in with my daughter over all this hassle with exams and study . decided to just let it be for now as it's causing too much angst and stress . I fuel the stress because I nag I know so I'm zipping it for now. There is enough stress coming from the media , the dept of education, no real school support so a bit of relaxation and not talking about it is needed all around. Ended up sitting in the garden for a while before dinner which was lovely and while cooking I had a glass of wine , pumped up the music and had a dance party . Had a really good relaxing evening.
 
I think most of us are more on edge than normal & taking some time out to :chillpill: is not such a bad idea. There will be so many relationships that will fail through this & your relationship with your daughter is to be nurtured :beating: Take care, xoxo
 
My BIL is a teacher and is working 10-12 hours a day trying to support "his" kids from afar. It´s hard. I´m glad you had a relaxing evening and YAY for looser pants!
 
I love to read about a good dance party. Great stuff Petal.

To be honest, I know you probably feel hard done by, but I would prefer to be busier when working from home. The day just drags for me. Really looking forward to not logging on till Tuesday. I think I will work on a blog post today, get the brain ticking a bit.

I ordered a few bits online at the weekend - ASOS have introduced a good returns policy. I do laugh that Dunnes is the only clothes shop available at the moment. :)
 
Ah yeah em I know structure in my day is great and the morning flies by . It’s more political in work I suppose but I’m grand mostly .
nearly fell off my chair here as daughter texted me to ask me check internet as she trying to upload maths !!!
i must have a look on asos . I have very little clothes .
lama your brother in law sounds awesome .
Thanks Cate lucky we have a good relationship and will continue to nurture .
 
Good morning everyone . Yes rob all last year clothes are too big and I didn’t really have much summer stuff last year as I was in throes of my weight loss .
did a 6.4 km walk this morn but a bit leisurely as was with my daughter . It was so lovely though .
I am starting to really want to see a bit of a dip on the scales again though . And it’s not happening .
so I think I will start to log my food again just like I did when I started SW . I do mainly stick to my plan but I know there are a few extras Going in at the moment. And I do want to get my 4lb loss for April so I can do this !!!! Project petal In earnest .
