Morning diary
Well ive been on track 7 days ive also tried the fast days and failed both.
Have been looking at the 5:2 book i got and they suggest 650cals with consequtive day fasts. So might consider that at some point. For this week though im going to stick to just pure SW as the totm fairy has decided to come my way and im not sure i could handle that and fasting.
Ive also fitted in 3 days of the 30ds this week and 3 c25ks.
I will update my stats when i get the laptop out but ive lost my first award!
7lb down start as i mean to go on.

Oh boo to that bloomin' totm time, it's such a pain! :sigh: I agree with your decision to stick to SW for the week, you know the plan well and know you can do it. Maybe at some other point fasting will work for you, I know I couldn't stick to that low amount of calories though. I get weird stomach pains (like I've been winded by being punched in the stomach, its really painful) if I don't eat when i get properly hungry (rather than when my mouth just wants something in it lol), so I know it wouldn't suit me.
Are you looking forward to going back to work now? Have things settled down a bit for you there?

Thanx cloudy. Ive had a few panic attacks about work, i know it should just slot into place but am nervous at being the person where the buck stops. Paperwork wise we are all uptodate and complete. Ofsted will probably re inspect us at some stage. As a preschool we dont get prior warning like childminders and schools. So i must keep it all spic and spam just incase. So am worried ill slip there. There are changes going to happen which will be gradual but impatient bubble wants them done yesterday...
Anyway just another goal to keep working for another "I CAN DO IT" jobby.
Back on Tuesday kids back Wednesday. New school for both my girls juniors and secondary so worried for them too. They are very nervous.

Lots of changes for your family then. Hopefully all good ones and won't cause too many upsets.
I trained as a nursery nurse many moons ago and my first job after I qualified was in a hospital nursery. I loved it and after a couple of extra courses were under my belt, was in charge of the 'baby room' as it was called then. I had one other full timer and two students, sometimes three, with up to twelve under 1s most of the time. After a couple of years, the then Matron (head of the whole nursery) went off on long term sick leave and I was made Acting Matron (how to make you feel old, at the time I was only 24, younger than several of the other members of staff). Talk about in at the deep end, with all the paperwork and staffing issues, I spent more time in the Office than with 'my' babies, so to begin with I didn't like that, or having to tell the other staff, most of whom had been there longer than me but were, on paper, less qualified, what to do.
In the end, I settled to it, changed quite a few routines to make things a lot easier, managed to get our budget increased quite substantially and when the previous Matron decided not to return to the job, the position was mine permanently. I only left when I became pregnant with my first daughter and the travelling and shift hours really weren't compatible. So, I get where you're coming from, even though I'm sure these days, with Ofsted etc and regulations a lot tighter, it is quite different.
From what you've said previously, and how you came to be given the role, I reckon you'll soon settle into it too and feel more confident. Its just that for all of us, changes make us wary and looking for problems before we even know quite what to expect. I really hope the current staff work alongside you to make those changes less daunting and you'll soon be running a very happy and well run ship
