I got a book about horses, was quite touched that they got me anything. That was from the boss and his wife, though the boss couldnt even be bothered to say goodbye. No thanks very much, kiss my ass!
Stocked up on some lovely candles as well, at a good price. Managed to raid all the seconds and bargain bins!
Need to get my head back in the game. Got my TOTM yesterday and struggling to feel motivated to do anything, let alone get to the gym. It's Scotts birthday today, so we are out for a meal tonight and a few drinks. Then tomorrow I'll crack on, my friend is taking her step daughter out for a walk on the horses, so I'm going to tag alone with Caleb. He hasnt been out all winter, bout time he saw the sights again and a nice long stomp round the woods wont do me much harm either.
I walked the dogs down to the horses with Scott yesterday nad walking back up the stepp lane I usually end up having to stop part way or take my jumper off as I'm boiling. But walked all the way up the lane, with two jumpers on and chatting all the way. So something must be improving...lol!
New job on Monday, an't wait. I'm sorting out my clothes today and having a serious clear out. I have far to many drab, mishapened, faded, worn clothes. I keep everything! But I want to take more care in my appearance, as after all thats what thin people do!

1st black sack of clothes out for the rubbish, found one of my favourite smart skins torn in the bottom of the wardrobe, no idea what's happened to that?!
Net curtains in the machine. Spring must be here!

you and me both hun. i've been gutting my house. did the kitchen then felt an overwhelming need to paint it a new clean colour, then i decided that i might as well sort out the dodgy halogen bulbs so bought 6 new ones and fitted them, cleaned the cupboards and then cleaned the oven making me decide to replace to bulbs that went about a year ago too. all go. have taken so much stuff to the charity and 3 black bags to the tip today, loads in my bin on friday as it was bin day and my bin was practically empty as usual.
hope your first day went well and you're not feeling overwhelmed or nervous or too tired to post about it.

Evening! Not been posting, bad kez! Been reading and posting elsewhere though.
New job going well so far, complete walk in the park. Which will change, but after the crazy 6 months of **** I've had I am more than happy to be paid well to be an office pleb!

Going well, was meant to go to body pump last night but had to cancel as car was in the garage and couldnt get there in time.
The weight is not coming off, I'm not exercising enough or reducing the food intake enough to make a difference. I'm maintaining though, which is better than gaining.
I'm loving being able to spend time with the horses in the daylight after work, so thinking I might pick up some gym prior to work. This morning I was up sat around at 8am waiting for it to be time to go to work. Pottered at the horses and was still the first one into the office, so could easily fit in half an hour at the gym before work (the gym is about 2 miles from work). I cant cope with swimming before work as my hair is a right nightmare. I HAVE to straighten my fringe every morning cause it goes like Annie otherwise and cant see me taking my hairdryer and straighteners to work each day?! But the gym kind of appeals.

I am definately feeling more settled already. I feel calm and relaxed, it is soo good being able to get home, do the dogs and horses, the housework, tea and packed lunches, washing and STILL have time to sit down and chill out before bed. How I haven't had a melt down over the last 6 months I don't know!
Here's hoping the new job pans out well.

It's great to see you so positive It's fab that you're managing to maintain too. Now that you're all sorted at work you'll probably notice you've got more energy too, now it's not stressy. You'll find the right balance of food and exercise soon enough and the scales will start moving downwards once again

Laid in bed and put my arm over my head, my boob dissapeared! And it wasnt into my arm pit either. Just vanished!!! Am going to have spaniel ears, i know it!
Good day today! Good food choices, total kcal 1755 for the day. Am aiming for 1400 kcal.
Finished my totm yesterday and today was finally peeing for England. Scales have dropped a couple of lbs since this morning. Finally the 16's are over the horizon again. A couple more good days and I'll be back in them!

Reckon you could if you set your mind to it!! Especially as your body shape will be changing because of the gym. You can do it!!!
Have you heard of GL diet? It's a bit like the GI diet but easier to follow. I bought a couple of books, and it seems easy enough to follow, I was looking at it to maintain after CD. But my mum is giving it a go. It seems easier than cal counting.

I keep bidding on things on ebay size 20's. Lots of lovely monsoon skirts etc, but mustn't spend too must. Hopefully I wont be in them for too long. All my 20 trousers seem to be fitting now, albeit a bit tight.

you're doing well. your body will take a bit of getting used to doing exercise so it might take a while before you see a change.
