The band came with the sensor already in...lights work but band is pinching my skin. Emailed fitbit and have to say really impressed with their customer service. It is indeed broken and they are sending me a replacement band in the colour of my choice for free
Today's food has been back on the straight and narrow and probably a mid calorie kind of day. Didn't really feel like eating as got a call to say I've to go into work tomorrow...assuming redundancy rumours are indeed true. So had to cram the rest of my allocated work into today...have only just finished. Means that once I have the good or bad news I've got the rest of Friday to myself. I'm also puppy sitting this weekend for my sister. A 10 week old cocker spaniel that is the last of the litter her dog had...new owners can't pick it up till next weekend. Have a feeling the way she talks about puppies it's going to be time consuming...and messy. :chores016:

So...been made redundant. On the outside I was like everyone else :cry:...appropriately upset and disappointed...on the inside I was....:bliss:arty0011::banana dancer:
. I know I shouldn't be but I'm actually relieved..and happy. The job was becoming really difficult nothing like what it was originally and I was being asked to do more and more work for the same hours and salary. And my immediate boss was a total prat. He was made redundant too..don't think he saw that coming. The whole department which was merged with another department at Christmas has been merged again. None of my original department are left so don't feel discriminated against. Good redundancy package and will finish at the end of July and paid for rest of notice period. And..it means I can move with a clear conscience And for the next month I will do exactly 30 hours of work a week without tying myself in knots and working too many hours and putting too much energy in. I've to work in the office from Monday helping with the handover so it means it will be far easier to stick to my hours. Obviously I've concerns about the future and getting another job but going to take each day as it comes and not anticipate trouble that might not happen. It is a golden opportunity for a fresh start and to be positive.
Managed to fast today as was stuck at work for ages till things were sorted out and had taken nothing to eat with me. Had chicken and salad with a baked potato for dinner. Will weigh in tomorrow morning though only did 2 fasts this week. And then the scales are going away.
I have company for the weekend. He is so cute I could squeeze him to death!

Thanks Lexie and upndown x I think I lost more this month because I'd eaten at TDEE for most of last month and it gave my body a break from dieting and it was happy to let some extra pounds drop when I started again. Might weigh on Tuesday morning as it's the first and then just weigh the first of each month regardless of what day of the week it is. Puppy had his last vaccinations on Thursday so can go out very short 10-15 minute walks but I've just had him out the back garden for a play...scared I'll lose him, he's so small. I'm seriously smitten with him, wish I could keep him :sigh: He did help me skype today Date (..don't know what to call him he's not an OH or a boyfriend!) is coming over next Friday night and staying till Sunday night...not staying with me I hasten to add!! Has been a really good day.

Woo-woo - a male staying over this weekend and another date next weekend - wow 5:2 really suits u eh? Seriously tho' u sound upbeat and good to hear (shd that be see?) The Belfast 'he' must be keen to come over again for a full weekend!
Keep up the good work and u'll be in those size 12s b4 u know it - I bought some trousers in that size for my hols but they have wide legs (suit my pear shape) and they fit!! Also I've some Sainsbury's jeans in size 12 - not been able to get in for a while but can now but with button fastened - but blood supply cuts off ... so a bit a go then...
Hope ur week goes well - at least u'll be working office hours and have a fun weekend to look forward to - has replacement fitbit arrived - if so how's it going?

God, how annoying for you. I hate it when stuff like that happens. Glad they're sorting it for you so promptly and fuss free. Pleased you're not not upset about your redundancy and hope you get another job sorted soon. Congrats on your loss.

Been really emotional all day...loads of tears. Have no idea why. Currently watching an old you tube video of Robbie Williams singing Angels live and sobbing into my jammies.. However I have had a puppy to cuddle and a lot of sugar to eat to soothe me. Need to be up early for work tomorrow so just a quick catch up.Hope I'm slighlty more chirpy tomorrow! x

Thank you x It really is the easiest way I've ever found to lose weight. Most of the time I can forget I'm dieting. Good luck if you decide to give it a go!

Today has been unexpected. I'm finished work a month early. Turns out today was my last day. As I've been off apparently I'm no longer in the loop and therefore useless with the handover...according to my now ex boss. I couldn't care less. I get paid in lieu of notice, have 11 days holiday pay due and my redundancy so I'm no worse off and I'd rather not travel to Glasgow every day anyway. He seemed to think I'd be offended...I grinned and said thanks! I've a six month cushion to get me a new job. Need to go get dinner as all I've had today is water and an apple. New diet/lifestyle plan starts tomorrow too...should really give it some thought!! Fitbit sent me not 1 but 4 free bands.. ...now I just need to get off my bottom and put it to good use. Going to try and stay away from youtube tonight
