Hello new weight loss blog :D

Hi Bon, I want to eat the giant map!!!! Sounds like a fun few weeks ahead. I shall keep fingers crossed that another job cones along soon xx
 
Afternoon :)

Well I have the Monday blues :S but am listening to some upbeat music and just getting on with the day, hopefully it'll soon feel like home time :D

I applied for 2 jobs on Friday and finished the app form for Beamish so i'll get Jamie to read through it and then email it off. So fingers crossed!

Well we had a lovely weekend. We went to the coast on Saturday for a street music festival which was fun and it was even sunny :D yays. We didn't end up going to the cake map of britain thing in the end as Jamie's hurt his back so he couldn't really move much yesterday :(

Well I hope you're all well :) I shall read some diaries now since it's been a while.
 
Sounds like a good time - gotta love music x
 
Well I am doing terrible with the eating :S Just had a peanut sandwich too. We're so skint at the moment though that we're down to the last bits in the cupboard :S So on payday on Wed I really need to get a big shop in.

Well last night was fun, we'd booked to see this Eat A Long Movie. It was The Waitress, which is a film about this woman who works in a pie shop and creates pies around the events in her life, so names them after things like Affair Pie, Baby Pie, Falling In Love Pie... It was a lovely story with some nice twists and a good ending :) So yeah, they paused the film at certain points when she was inventing pies and then served us them up. It is such an awesome idea. Really enjoyed it. Although we had about 7 little pies in the end! My favourite was a banana and custard one i think. There were acouple of chocolate ones too, and only 1 savoury that was brie and onion :) So yeah a fun night it was.

Tonight I am going on a stress management course at the city library. It's free so thought I might as well go. It's been for 4 weeks now, tonight's is the last. But it's helped me a lot so far. They gave us a relaxation CD last week and i've listened to it twice now before bed and it's helped loads and i've had a lovely night's sleep after it. It's all about tensing and then relaxing all your muscles in turn. Brilliant it is.

Then i'm gonna finish this job form, and do soem washing. Then i'll relax with my book i think. Am reading the latest Terry Pratchett book :)

Well, it's home time in a minute. Have a good evening everyone :) bye
 
Hi Bon, sounds like you've been having fun.

At the local theatre they are putting on a Faulty Towers show where you are part of the show and get served while its happening around you.

I'm reading Terry Pratchett too!!! I've read the Discworld novels in order and am currently reading Monstrous Regiment.

Have a great weekend, I'm sure you've got loads planned xx
 
Morning guys :)

Ah yeah, they had that Fawlty Towers thing on here, it sounded really really good, but it was £50 each and then I think i'd feel quite intimidated :S ha. Would be awesome fun though you'd have to be up for food being spilt on you and stuff, ha.

Terry Pratchett is an amazing author :) I haven't read that one, i think we have it on our bookshelf though.

Well I am feeling alright today. My eating is terrible, esp with the Eat Festival :S and we keep having wine, sigh. Last night when i was walking home there was this chav girl sat on the pavement outside Subway with her legs out in front of her and drinking from a large 3 letre bottle of cider. She was swearing at a bus going by when i walked past so i looked at her as she surprised me as she was loud. Then she started calling me fat and saying Look at that fat arse, it couldn't wobble anymore... etc. Sigh. At the time i felt really sad and upset but then as i carried on walking and just ignored her I was thinking. And i thought about how, yes I am fat I know i am, but we've been doing all these Eat Festival events and having nice wine and cheese and things lately and I am enjoying it all. We eat a lot of great food and i enjoy it and look forward to it. I work each day in a job i hate to enjoy these kind of things. So yeah, i looked at that way and at least I wasn't sat on the pavement drinking cheap cider being angry at the world.

I thought it was weird as I was on my way home from a stress management class, and i'd called in the library and had a book on how to beat depression in my bag. Ha. So then i thought about how at least i was trying to do something about it. And i am focusing on getting me happy, then i'll focus on my weight. It's small steps and one thing at a time.

So yeah, i have mixed feelings about it. I just hate how society judges people sooooo much on how they look. It's stupid. It should be about the person you are, not what you look like. But then we all do it, it's human nature. I was judging her but then she might be going through anything and have had a tramatic life or anything... so yeah. I just find it weird.

Well I am tired today, didn't get much sleep again. But then this stress management class last night focused on that, and techniques to help, so i did some of those, like keep a sleep diary and get up when i didn't sleep after 25 minutes. So i am trying. It'll just take a while to get in to a routine.

It's my weekend after today, woo. Got lots of shopping to do tomorrow as it's payday. We also have a wedding on Sunday so i need something to wear, and i want my hair cutting.

It's a chilli and beer festival on Saturday which i am looking forward to. There is a competition to see how can eat the hottest chilli, so that'll be entertaining, ha. Then the wedding in Thirsk on Sunday and we're staying in a posh hotel sunday night and we're off work monday :) so yay.

Sorry for the long message! hope everyone's ok. I'll check diaries in a bit. Need to get on with some work now first though.
 
Morning Bon, what a fantastic attitude to the girl in the gutter!!! Hope you've enjoyed your weekend and stay in the posh hotel. Have a good day xx
 
How awful to have to put up with abuse in the street - so out of order. My guess is that she was giving you stick to make herself feel better - very sad x
 
Morning guys.

Thanks. I do keep thinking about the woman in the street who commented on my huge bum :S but i know i am fat. I can see that. At least I am a nice person though and don't dilibratly make others feel bad so i can feel better. Sigh. That is so right Gem, i think that is what she was doing.

Well I had a lovely time away at the wedding. Even though we were only away for 2 days it feels like i've been on holiday and i feel much cheerier. We stayed in a log cabin that had it's own hot tub outside it! was sooooo nice. I want one! really relaxing it was and we were in there til half 2 in the morning as i refused to get out, ha. The wedding was lovely too, really enjoyed it. Alick's family were loads of fun.

Work is being rather boring today. Wish it was home time. But the details of next month's history weekend was announced this morning so i've been planning what i wanna go to. I like the history weekends, Newcastle has a very interesting history.

Well hope everyone is ok?

I have been thinking about exercise a lot lately. I want to start doing some regularly as i know it helps with stress and depression as well as making you more healthy obviously. But i am not sure what i'd wanna do. Am rubbish at sports, and I can't swim... so am thinking walks, hiking in the countryside would be nice. We did some of that on Monday after the wedding. But that takes more planning. Perhaps just jogging in the local park, would have to buy some trainers though and build up from walking first. So humm, i'll keep giving it some thought.
 
Well Bon, I'm SO glad you have been thinking about exercise as as I've heard the brain uses more calories that the rest of the body - I don't know whether it's proportional but there you have it - think away ;) x
 
Hehe, i like that Gem, I am good at thinking :D

Ah yeah, there is a newcastle exercise site that the stress management people told me about, i'd forgotten about that so thanks for reminding me. I'll have a look on there.

Well I am glad it's thursday, woo. It's been a long week even though i've only been at work 3 days :S The air con is broken today so it's boiling in here :S Am sure that's not good for us, but then i think i am sweating off some calories!

There is a Festival on the Quayside this weekend, so we're gonna go along to that, and other than that i want a chilling out weekend :D can't wait.

Hope you guys are well. Take care :D
 
Hi Bon - I hope you are still thinking yourself slim ;) x
 
Morning guys :)

Well we have sunshine, woo. It's actually feeling a bit like summer. It's meant to be nice over the weekend too :)

I have an interview on Saturday at this Open Air museum called Beamish that's up here. It's an awesome place and me and Abi have been a few times. I would be dressing up as a Victorian person and talking to the public. Would be awesome and i'd enjoy that loads, but i can't see me getting it as i haven't experience of this kind of thing :S but we'll see.

Yeah, i am still thinking myself slim! ha. I am doign rather rubbish. Some days i am happy with how i am but then others i look in the mirror and wonder how i let myself get this way. Sigh. But i am concentrating on one thing at a time. We have given up wine in the week so only have it on the weekends so that's helping lots. I just had a banana for breakfast too, go me!

Anyway, hope you're ok. Take care guys
 
Yeah - I think that too Bon. I managed to lose 30lb and then life took a nose dive for a while and that was that - all back on again somehow. It will happen but the right frame of mind is required & then the momentum can kick in x
 
Hi Bon, good luck for your interview tomorrow, sounds great. I'm not sure they would require experience as long as you are good at talking to people, which I'm guessing you are! Have a great weekend xx
 
Good luck with your interview - sounds like a lovely job x
