Sarah's Target & 10K Mission

Welcome home chick!! Sounds like you had a totally amazing time - I'm well jel ;) When are you back at work? And how's the jetlag?

I have to be honest - I've been rubbish food-wise so our 4 week challenge is gonna be tricky!! I don't start my new job 'til 13 May though, so hopefully once I get the heck out of here, I can get back on plan and down towards those elusive 9s.

Only 8 days to go now, so I can definitely see the light. Was taken for drinks by a supplier last night, out with another one tonight then have my leaving meal/drinks next Wednesday.

Hey hun, been poorly since Thursday. Think it's been an ear infection - been super dizzy. Only a few more days of work to get through though, then I get some chillout time.

Hope all's good with you and you've had a fantastic weekend.

Ah poor you :-( will you go in tmrw? Is it this week you finish? Xx
 
Yep, officially Friday although I've been awake half the night feeling sick at the thought of going in today, silly as it sounds. I can't believe the way it makes me feel - its so unlike me!! My director is back today - have decided he has one chance - if he says anything horrible, I will tell him that if he does it again, I walk. Immediately!

Anyway sweety, hope you're ok? I'm gonna go and catch up on your diary now xx

Well, by some miracle I weighed in at 10.4 this morning! Only 1lb but much more than I deserve and very much in the right direction!

Food today (EE)
B - Muller Greek (1/2) and a banana
L - Tomato Mug Shot with tomatoes, spinach and HEXA cheese (I have totally got stuck in a lunch rut! New job will see new lunch horizons!!)
D - Out with parents (who are just back from a mini break) to our local Beefeater so I will be going for grilled chicken (2 syns for oil) with a jacket spud and salad (no dressing)
Snacks - 2 x Alpen Light (HEXB) and a Cadbury's Mini Roll (5 syns)

Hoping against hope that work isn't too bad so I won't reach for the chocolate stash!!

Morning lovely!
Well done on the loss! However small and undeserved, it's in the right direction and should keep you motivated to keep going!

Ear infection sounds rubbish, I hope you're on the mend and the pain is subsiding!

Wow, just 5 small little poxy days left and you'll be freeeee! I bet Friday cannot come soon enough! Worrying half the night sounds no fun at all. I can't believe he makes you feel like that. What a kn*b!

My jet lag has finally subsided and work is getting a little crazy as my new boss starts piling on the work (before I officially start) and the current boss is needing some extra tlc as he thinks my heads out of the game in my current role and that I'm abandoning him...which is totally unfair!

I've been totally pants on our 4 week challenge too! Need some motivation after NYC and hopefully realising the wedding is only 6 weeks away and I need to be looking hot in my bridesmaid dress is enough to get me back on track!

Hope you're enjoying the sun and work goes ok!
Xxxx
 
Hiya chick,

Sounds like you're under the cosh at work too, you poor thing! Hope neither boss is making like too difficult - it's very unfair to think you won't give your current role 100% until you leave. Surely he knows you better than that? And new boss needs to understand you shouldn't be doing 2 jobs at once! Sounds like you're handling it really well though.

I can't believe how I feel about this place. I've always been extremely confident and outgoing at work, quite outspoken and always able to get my point across, but this job has literally worn me down and I feel like hiding in my office with the door shut and hoping everyone leaves me alone until Friday! Our design agency are in for a meeting this afternoon, which apparently I'm supposed to be going to, but have no idea why because I'm already being totally left out of email conversations about everything so it seems utterly pointless. Grrrr it makes me so mad! I hate them all for turning me into this grumbly little person! Can't wait to get myself back over my few weeks off and start my new job being back to my old self!

In a way I'm glad it's not just me who has been rubbish in our challenge! Lol! 6 weeks 'til the wedding sounds like fab motivation for you, and I've got 4 weeks today 'til I start my new job, so that works for me too :) It's going to be tough sticking to plan when I'm off because there will be lots of catching up with friends and therefore opportunities for naughty treats, but I so want to see that ultra-elusive 9 on the scales, I'm hoping I can do it!

Was looking at your NYC photos this morning - you look amazing! Definitely motivation for me to get into the 9s!

Have a great day lovely :) xx
 
Right, just taking a break from my handover notes to think about targets!

I've got 4 weeks 'til I start my new job and 8lbs to target. With all the social activities I've got planned for my time off, I think it's unrealistic to think I'll get to target in that time, but I'm going to aim for 1lb per week in the hope I can get into the 9s by my start date of 13 May. Weirdly, that's also pretty much my SW anniversary, so it would be great to get into the 9s by then...even if only by a whisker! I think I said I my first post, I only wanted to get to 10st, so if I get there, I'll be happy. Admittedly I could have got further if I hadn't faffed around so much, but if nothing else, at least I've shown myself that I can keep this 2st off for the long term!!

Once I'm at 'lovely new job' I can then hopefully have a couple more good weeks getting into a nice new routine and get those last few pesky pounds off! I might want to review target when I'm there but we will cross that bridge when we come to it!
 
Hey, just having a catch up - sorry to hear you were dreading work so much, was it as bad as you feared? Did horrible boss behave today?

I think 1lb a week is totally doable for you and how great will you feel starting your new job in the 9 bracket :)

What have you got planned for the 3 weeks before you start your new job? xx
 
Hello lovely

He didn't speak to me at all so it wasn't too bad. Am just hoping he leaves me alone til Friday!

I've got loads planned for my time off! Catching up with friends and family mostly - am so looking forward to it. It'll be a challenge to stay on plan though!

Hope you had a good day hun. Off to check out your diary... :) xx

Aww you're too kind re NYC photos! It really was a brill trip though...and probably one of the only holidays I can remember where I didn't want to delete all the photos of me as soon as possible!

Sounds Like a pretty sensible realistic approach to dropping the pounds over the next few weeks and ties in perfectly with your anniversary! :) much better to set realistic expectations for yourself than feel like you've failed for losing 1lb instead of 2 and jacking it in! I have faith you'll be in those 9s very soon! :)

Great news on the boss leaving you alone today...maybe he's realised in his own interest to ease off his week to ensure you stay the full course! Fingers crossed for more of the same tomorrow..and get a better nights sleep!! Xxx
 
Not wanting to delete photos of yourself is a fab feeling! Imagine how on top of the world we will feel at target!! :) xx

I'm singing it too, keeps making me think its nearly the weekend though, nooooooooo! ;)

Lets hope he leaves you alone for the rest of the time.

Time off sounds lovely, lots of time to refuel your batteries before new job :) xx
 
My diary is already looking manic for my time off, but in the nicest possible way.

Ok, green day today (hurrah for double HEXs!):

B - Muller Greek (1/2 syn) and a banana
L - Mug Shot with peas, tomatoes and spinach (I promise to mix my lunches up when I leave this job!!)
D - Omelette with leeks, beansprouts, peas, potatoes, dollop of LF creme fraiche (2 syns) and HEXA1 cheese with HEXB1 wholemeal roll
Snacks - 2 x Alpen Lights (HEXB2), warm milk (HEXA2), 1 square Galaxy (1.5 sysn), 1 shortcake biscuit (3 syns)

Haha! I think we need to swap - I definitely need to get back into salads. I enjoy them much more in the summer though, so now the weather is (hopefully!) on the up, I can get back into the habit.

I do enjoy my Mug Shots though - they're really satisfying! xx
 
Not had a mug shot in ages, had one in my drawer for a month or more!
