Bostik's Finally Doing It :)

[Bostik]

Well it's gone from 175 to 173.2 this morning. Which is still a gain, but it seems to be going down. Musta been all them bloody jumping jacks

 

[Bostik]

Starting work wednesday! Bit worried about it messing my routine with all the different shifts but should be alright

 

[Caz]

That's still a decent jump down overnight, give it a little time. What job are you starting?

 

[Squeezyweezy]

How exciting about the job, don't worry about it messing things up, you'll soon get into a routine and settle down.
Scales are heading in the right direction hun.

 

[Legomom]

Oooooooh new job! Anything exciting or just to pay the bills? You'll settle in superfast I'm sure!!!

 

[Bostik]

It's a support worker in a residential home for people with mental health issues. I think it is mainly schizophrenics. Just doing this for now cos the experience will help when looking for a better job which I'm still doing and need some money! I'm excited

 

[Legomom]

I would be too!! Sounds like an interesting job. I did something similar in a childrens home before I had my daughter. It's very rewarding but seriously hard work.

Good luck with the new job. You'll soon get into a routine with the eating but make time for a few snacks it keeps the metabolism ticking over. I always find I lose better when I eat something mid morning & mid afternoon instead of sticking to just 3 meals a day.

 

[Bostik]

It's just there isn't any real routine with it. Just depends what shift I get!

Wednesday I have 3-10. So I can have lunch before I go. Might get a subway from opposite in my break for dinner. Or take a couple of snacks and just have dinner at home? Not decided yet!

Thursday and Friday I am on 8-3. Which I think will be easier. Don't usually get hungry early. So could probably just take a couple of snacks like a banana in and then get lunch when I get home.

Legomom - I've done it before basically but in day centres for people with mainly learning disabilities, though a couple had a few mental health issues. So not too worried about the workload. To be honest, none of these need personal care and that makes me happy lol. I've already been and met some of them and it seems like an alright place!

 

[Squeezyweezy]

Sounds like a great job, and as you said, the experience is essential. I'm with Tranqs on the snacks. The more I eat, the more I loose.

 

[Bostik]

Yup. Can't wait to start. Hated being unemployed and not even a student lol.

Gym tonight. Done the stepper for nearly ten mins and then 20 on the bike cos there was a fit guy on the treadmill in front so i just watched him the whole time!

 

[Caz]

Sounds like a great job that'll suit you, I hope it goes well. When do you start? Is it just shifts as and when you're needed or is it a set number of hours?

 

[Bostik]

It's casual so it is shifts. But I'm gonna be someones one to one support so I'll be pretty much full time I think which is good. Probably have no life though anymore. Can see myself just wanting to sleep after work lol.

 

[Squeezyweezy]

Well done at the gym. You gotta love a fitty training in front of you!!

 

[Bostik]

He was gorgeous. Normally I am not too bothered about muscley guys but this guy was cute and his body just made it better Hope he comes more often!

 

[Legomom]

I can run so much further when I'm perving on the hottie in front..... And I'm aware that if I was a man writing this it would be tres creepy!!! Sadly.... This won't stop me ogling!!!

 

[Bostik]

I think we deserve it for all the hard work we're putting in!

 

[Caz]

Yeah but we're women so it's allowed! There are two things that keep me going - competition and hot men.

 

[Bostik]

Was way too exhausted to do kettleworx tonight so will do it tomorrow after work. Well earned rest day today I think!

 

[Caz]

Definitely! You do so much, I think everyone understands you putting something off for a day when you need to.
