Hi Jenn. I'm here although I shouldn't be cos I should be having an early night because of school in the morning - my first day back for months. I need to wind down though cos I'm not really looking forward to being back as it could be difficult. I guess I'll treat it as I treat everything else - big deep breath and get on with it. x
Hey all.
I am still well chuffed for you Jenster!! Your having a baabby! I still wanna have one, maybe i will make my sister have one so i can kidnap it but give it back when i get bored of it haha
My face hit the worst this morning, all one side was double its normal size, it was giving me blurry vision and a sore neck from the extra weight, but after a full day of sitting on the sofa, and sleeping (I keep sleeping.. no idea why but i just either watch tv or sleep... must be the painkillers) My sister actually winced when she came down and saw me before work at 12, but she just got back and said the swelling had gone down so much, and it actually feels like it, the anitbiotics must be kicking in now, as its not anywhere near as painful or heavy, still swollen but less elephant man now, and more bee sting reaction. I can finally eat stuff aswell, sure it takes me an hour to eat some chicken nuggets, but it beats slurrping down weatabix lol!
Oh and 13 more days left now until i am back at uni! Wohoo!! Hope my face goes back to normal, i can get an appoitment to have the bad tooth removed and be happy and go lucky by the time i get back to the best city in the world (yea, right! lol)
I have decided to leave myself 2 extra weeks after i get back to get all the fresher fortnight and welcome back piss ups out the way, they are to much fun to skip because i can't drink. So will not risk starting and then failing in the first week. lol.
Hows everyone else? Everyone glad or upset now summer is commin to an end?
Hope your all grand!
Hi Jenn, thanks for missing me. I'm still about but have been v. busy the last couple of days with work. It's like they expect me to produce stuff and send emails. I know - totally unrealistic.
Plus I have been trying to get myself back on track. The TOTM gave me huge sugar/ carbs cravings which I didn't think I had really given into - only a little - but something meant that I didn't lose anything last week. And therefore have been struggling to keep my mind straight. :sigh:
I think I'm getting there and I had quite a good day at work (got some compliments [on my work rather than my radiant beauty]) so tomorrow is a bright new day filled with apples and non-chocolate snacks.

:character00238: Good morning everyone :character00238:
I'm sat here drinking a cup of coffee and thinking about making my porridge.
Today is my first day back to work since April! I have been off with work related stress and have had meetings with HR, health and safety and Uncle Tom Cobley and all but am still not sure the boss will play ball. She will not be a happy bunny with me as I have highlighted the cracks in the concrete and she will have to deal with it at last. I am going back to a mostly new staff line up as most people have already left so it will be a bit like starting a new job but not (?) strange situation.
I have to say I have not been looking forward to today at all but I do want to get back to doing my job. This week is two inset days and next week I have two days (no-one has bothered to tell me which ones) when the kids will be back in. Weeks 3 and 4 I will do 3 days and week 5 will be 4 days. After that I will be full time again. I am hoping things have changed significantly and that the issues outlined at the meetings have been taken on board. I have made a healthy sandwich and will take yougurt, fruit and a healthy snack bar in case I start flagging when the boredom sets in. I'll let you know how I get on.
Have a good day everyone :character00238:
morning all
well i feel sooo full. i had a small amount of chicken and mushroom and boiled rice last night since it was my last weigh in before my hols and thought that wouldn't be too bad. well i have never felt so full in my life. talk about stomach shrinkage!! and it's taught me an important lesson. that not only are my eyes bigger than my belly, but to listen to the belly, not the eyes!!
so i have some cd porridge to have for my brekkie. but i don't feel like i can fit it in at the mo!! i lost about 1.5lbs. i'm 3/4lb away from a 2 stone weight loss. my body just doesn't ever want to get there!! i'm not sure it's possible. it's sure not going to happen now i'm going away. in any case. over the next couple of days i want to start eating still fairly low calories but normal type food so that i don't just go absolutely mental when i get on holiday. so i am thinking of having a cd porridge for brekkie. maybe a sandwich for lunch and then a 1000 plan dinner. slightly higher in calories but getting me used to eating normal things again. and then tomorrow a similar thing except i have an evening of drinking red wine planned so some kind of takeaway will probably be involved then on friday it's the staff festival at the uni, where i used to work and i've been invited so i'm off to that, then denmark on saturday today is my last day at work and then 19 days off
