Day 7 - Sunday 3rd November
I didn't eat much all day. I was trying to repair the damage of Friday and Saturday. I was bloated and (TMI) a bit bunged up if I'm honest. I knew my efforts were fruitless, and no matter how little I ate it wouldn't effect Monday's weigh in.
I wasn't particularly hungry. I don't eat when I'm completely miserable, and having to leave the OH and go back home makes me completely miserable. We both had tears; it's difficult, especially as I wasn't sure when I would be able to get back; Having to start work placement on the 11th and not knowing shifts yet, when we would see each other again was uncertain. I left early afternoon instead of evening, as I had to be up early for work placement induction.

Day 8 - Monday 4th November
Weighed in at 6am, for a 0.7lb loss. I'm not disappointed, I've been in a plateau for months, it's the biggest loss I've had in a while. I'm aiming for a 4lb loss next week to catch up. I have a full schedule, so I think that will help me eat properly.
I had induction at work placement today, and received my shifts for the next 4 weeks. I had to make sure I had the 29th November till 3rd December off as my parents are going away to Germany to see family. We lost my nans brother in law a couple of months a go and this is the soonest they could get over there. But, someone has to look after furbaby, and I don't trust anyone but myself, as she has to have three sets of medications a day at specific times for her epilepsy.
Thankfully, I managed to get those days off, whilst still fitting in my 13 shifts in 4 weeks. I was also really worried I wouldn't get a weekend to see the OH, but luckily I'm off the 23rd and 24th November, doing a shift on the Friday (22nd), meaning I'll be able to head up to see the OH after shift, getting there for around 9:30pm. Although, I'd have to head back early on the Sunday, ready for another shift on the Monday; Which isn't too bad, and definitely better than nothing!
It's going to be exhausting, and I just hope it's not too much all at once. From 11th November, I have 7 shifts till I see the OH and 10 shifts before I have those 5 days off. Actually, it's 6 because she gave me the 4th off too. I will need it, with the chronic fatigue and pain condition, and studying, which I will definitely need to do, because I'm already behind, and let's not forget, I have furbaby all to myself for 5 days! Lots of snuggles to look forward to!

Goals for this Week
- Eat Breakfast
- Less Syns, below 10 a day
- Try and go swimming at least once
- Drink more water, at least 1.5L
These are perfectly achievable goals, and would really help me feel better, healthier, and help my weight-loss. I really need to get my act together. I need to work hard on my weight-loss, study hard, and work hard on placement. I want a better life for my and my OH. I
can, and
will do this.
