Funny Farm's Diary

The cat just had a fright with the dog, so to cheer her up I gave her tuna.

I came so, so close to eating it! I'm very proud of myself for refraining. Especially after a tough day.

Yay me!
 
Sorry missed your post in my celebratory haste, Marge! I will keep you informed of my running style. I'm thinking 'chased by wasps' has a certain charm to it. I'll be the envy of the park...
 
I'm sure you will be the envy of the park :bolt:;)
As for resisting the tuna.... Well done for not eating catfood :sign0137:;);:p
 
It was normal tuna, not cat food!! I should've given her a tin of cat food, but then she'd refuse to eat her dried food because she's an annoying princess. :princess:
 
I notice you have done your exercise again for today, from your ticker :)
Fab :)
I'm ging to try and fit a walk in somewhere today, probably after work, at 7pm ish... just too much to do this morning :(
 
It was the thought of updating my ticker that helped me get out of bed 45 minutes earlier than I had to! I nearly cried when my alarm went off, just couldn't get to sleep at all last night.

Pub quiz tonight, I'm thinking of a power nap after work to see me through!
 
I must admit, I have been really struggling this week, sleep wise. I just cant seem to get enough of it !!
I vaguely remember sleeping alot when I started Exante proper last time....
Either that, or I'm a lazy so and so :p
Power naps are good though... they keep you away from temptation ;)
 
Wow, making up for it today. I'm exhausted! Have to find some energy to get dressed. It's eluding me so far.

C'mon Jo, sort yourself out. You've got a pub quiz to lose!
 
Hey funny farm how you getting on?

Always here for support whenever you need me :)

Hol x
 
How did the quiz go ? :)
Did you manage your walk yet ? :)
 
Quiz was great fun! We didn't win, obviously, but had a good time. I had a couple of coffees and a fun gossip. We went in at their dinner time and the whole place smelled of food, it was pretty tough!

I didn't get much sleep last night thanks to a group of annoying blokes having a conversation in the street right outside my bedroom window at midnight. They had to talk loud, because one was showing off his motorbike by revving it CONSTANTLY. They were there for half an hour with my upstairs neighbour's dog barking at them.

I didn't get to sleep until so late because I was wound up and angry by then. I managed to get up in time for my walk this morning, but I'm well and truly grumpy now!
 
Ah, but you still your walk in the face of adversity ;)
And that's blooming marvelous :D
 
Does that still count if I kill someone today though?

I made sure I put the Kleeneze catalogue out for the guy to collect today, because I'm in such a bad mood and he's so annoying, I really can't deal with him!

My biggest challenge today is making it through my shift without swearing at anyone. I'm pretty sure it can't be done.

I'm a bit emotional because it would've been my friend's birthday who took her own life last year. We hadn't seen each other for years, and I kept putting off meeting up whenever she asked, because I thought her life was perfect and I was embarrassed by the state of mine. It makes you realise you never can know what someone is feeling, and outward appearances are so deceiving. It's just so sad :(
 
I'm with you in that you cant go through a day without swearing, especially at work !!

That is sad news about your friend.
It just goes to show though, that life has to be embraced, and if we are not happy with how we are, then we have to try and change it eh ?
Sometimes the best thing to take your mind off your own worries, is to listen to someone elses :)

You had a good day otherwise ?:)
 
Yesterday was ok, I felt like I'd come out of ketosis though. I was constipated a few days ago so switched to 2 bars and a shake instead of the other way around. I think it must've knocked me out of ketosis, but it's not the end of the world.

I've also earned my week 2 reward, so that's nice.

I need to think about a good goal and reward for next week.

I also can't decide whether I should be looking at 8 or 12 weeks. Maybe I'll decide when I buy some scales next week. Hmmm.
 
I've got a car! Well, it's my boyfriend's, but he's away and I'm insured on it, so it counts. I've missed driving, used to go for long drives with music blaring before mine broke. Maybe that contributed to me starting comfort eating again?

It's frustrating, I could be doing something, but don't need to right now.

Keep thinking about whether I should do 8 weeks or 12, starting to wonder if I should do 10 as a compromise? I'm stressing myself out worrying about it all!
 
Why don't you decided when you are a wee bit further on :)
You will know how many more weeks you will want to do in 4 or 5 weeks time :)
 
That's sensible. I think I just want to have an end date. Patience has never been my strong point.

I'm going to a friend's tomorrow, might jump on their scales if I'm brave enough.
 
I wasn't really able to get on the scales, I'll just have to buy my own.

I need to find a way of tracking my progress though.

The scales are a good way week to week to monitor how you are doing.
The only other way I know, is the measuring tape... but that takes a tad longer to notice, if you know what I mean.
How about going to Boots once a week and using their scales, if you dont want to get your own ?
I think they do a weight card thing, that costs 20p or similiar per WI, that keeps track of your weight...
