caws diary

Ok so I've neglected my diary as usual !! We have a lovely week away in the New Forest - don't think we've eaten out so much as we did this year. Must have been 6 or 7 times, either lunch time or in the evening !

Didn't weigh myself when we came home (must have put on a good couple of pounds though) Have spent the week with the health visitors, which I've really enjoyed and it was easy to have a meal routine because I basically did 9.30 - 3pm or so. On Friday when I weighed myself I'd put on 0.5lb so I'm taking that as a gain the first week and a loss the second week :D

Back at the hospital for four weeks now so need to plan and prepare (which I haven't got the motivation for yet !!)
 
All sounding positive Caws - enjoy x
 
Well all I seem to have done over the last week or two is eat chocolate and cake.

I'm really feeling it too, I'm getting very little exercise, eating too much crap, not drinking enough water and have generally gone to pot !!

I must get my head around it all again and get back into better habits. I'm being very lazy :(
 
Well, nothing has really changed since my last post. I'm not in a very good place eating wise or weight wise.

Uni has been very challenging (although I did get 75% for my last assignment :D ) and I need to make changes :(
 
75% is brilliant - you can't do everything at once x
 
I've been saying the same thing to myself girls, but really they're just excuses and I know that.

I'm huffing and puffing abit going up stairs ets. I need to sort out some exercise - maybe I'll try and go for a walk in the evening now that weather is nice. Cut out the chocolate, sweets and cakes that have crept back in and go from there.

I'm toying with joining weighwatchers for 3/6 months, maybe the official wegh in will give me more motivation but the problem is fitting in classes when I'm on placement because if I'm working I can't go and you still have to pay. Not sure how much it costs either (but it's easy enough to find out !!)
 
I think it's whatever works for you Caws - it wouldn't be a positive move for me cos I'd rebel against it but many people find official weigh in a great boost x
 
I'm just trying to think of things that will help me be straighter and narrower. I've looked at local meetings and there's not one that I can walk to, which is what I was hoping for. I'd probably only stick to it for short while anyway !!

We'll see how I get on over the next couple of weeks.
 
Mornin' Caws - Do what you need to do to get healthy - the weightloss will follow x
 
Hi Caws

How's it going? How's the weight loss? Not had time to read your whole diary to catch up on the last year or so!

How's uni? Are you in your second year now? Second year was the worst for me. Nothing was new and exciting any more, but seemed so long til I qualified. Soon goes though.
 
Hey Kaitlyn, there hasn't been much in my diary since last year - I'm terrible about writing in it !!

I've put on the weight that I lost (nearly 2 stone) and at the moment am the same as my heaviest 3 years ago.

Uni is going well, and I'm enjoying my second year- the curriculum has changed and we're the first ones doing it so there have been some hiccups, placements are 8 weeks now instead of 5 which have been a killer !! I can say 'next summer I'll be qualified', which is a scary thought. It does seem far away but at the same time not !!
 
YOu are forgiven for putting on the weight if you're studying - it's hard work and stressful x
 
Right I'm having another start !!

I go on placement tomorrow to a hospice, which I'm looking forward to although I'm expecting it to be sad.

The good thing is I'm doing short shifts for the first 2 weeks (long days are a killer, when you just need a sugar hit !!) and I have to take lunch in and there isn't a shop nearby I can nip to so the main thing I need to get a grip on is making sure I don't empty the cupboard when I get home. Also I need to make sure I drink plenty of water.

I'll know when I come home tomorrow how easy/hard it's going to be. As I'm there for 8 weeks, with good habits I'm hoping to lose maybe half a stone, 10lbs maybe.

It's having the right mindset, whcih I need to get back.
 
Good luck with your placement and your restart x
