Tuesday!!

I'm feeling pretty good this morning although I really did not want to get out of bed. It was 6:45 rather than 6......so I had a McDonalds Bagel on the way to work, but no matter since over the weekend I averaged 18000 steps a day......plenty of exercise really. And we didn't go overboard on eating at all. Well we didn't until I was left alone last night and relaxed and then the tears started and somehow 8 mini choccy bars found their way into my mouth. Could be worse – a few months ago that would've been 8 full sized bars so things improving.

 

Only one real hiccup over the weekend and that's when Ma decided we weren't drinking wine at Sunday lunch and reset the table for me. That really made me angry since she'd never do that in anyone else's house but one incident over 4 days isn't too bad all in all. It was just the way she grabbed the glasses off the table without even discussing it. Seriously out of order, then I was weepy all afternoon cos of saying goodbye to Al but managed to pull myself together enough so she and Da didn't notice. It was Mass calmed me down in the end; I cried most of the way through it from exhaustion and misery and letting things get on top of me, but then one of the little Indian boys (I suppose Indian isn't the proper term, but that's how I think of him and he's a lovely friendly kid of about 4 who is always sooooo happy.....) made a big fuss and waved and grinned at me at Communion – his mother was mortified but it gave me a big gee up when I really needed it.

 

Then I stepped on the scales this morning and I'm down!!!! 0.8 kg thank you very much! Here's the weight report:

 

You have lost 800 g in the last 6 days.

Your goal in the last 6 days was to lose 643 g.

 

So maybe an extra 200g will disappear overnight since I won't be drinking or eating dessert tonight :) I'm feeling very happy about that

And – I may have a new job soon - got an email  asking if I can attend site again to have a look around and to talk to their engineering manager. :D Big grins all round. They've also asked for my expenses from the last trip to refund me and offered to pay for the next one as well. Feeling very positive about all that. I've had to tell Ma and Da as well cos they heard the shriek when I read the email and I am very excited about it all. At the very least, there would be better promotion prospects up there and the cost of living appears to be less.....So all prayers and good thoughts gratefully received!!!

 

Now all I have to do is get through this week in work and focus on achieving what I can in the time allowed.......all will be well in the end, must remember that!
