I'm feeling a bit wiped out actually since starting back at work It's really taken it out of me, both mentally and physically. The last two days have been bright and sunny here - perfect running and/or cycling weather (even though it IS very cold) and all I feel up to doing is curling up under a duvet with a video. I think the run I did on Wednesday has also left me a bit stiff. I'm not needing hugs or anything just yet, just offering up some explanation for why I'm taking it easy at the moment!
I went out last night with partner's work colleagues (his 'last day' bash - so they are now technically his ex-colleagues) and had to save loads of points during the week to have enough spare for drinkies. Anyway even though I had LOADS of veggies and whatnot yesterday, I didn't have my usual large dinner and am consequently STARVING this morning! (real hunger, not craving hunger! lol!). Anyway, have had to have 3.5 of my 17 daily points on brekky (not normally something I do) and my tum is STILL rumbling (I just heard a HUGE rumble there!). At this rate, I'll struggle to stay within my points today and deffo won't have spare for my daily cake treat! Shame!
Lastly, it's only taken me two months to get around to it (and longer than that if we count meaning to do one since I had my hair cut! lol!) but I've finally got partner to take some pictures of me in the garden at goal weight and I've posted them to my WW MSN group. I've also added my horrid "before" pictures (you know, the ones which made me cry: http://messageboards.ivillage.co.uk/n/mb/message.asp?webtag=iv-ukdfwwatcher&msg=13449.1&ctx=128 so any MSN members can hopefully see the difference now. I wanted to post them here, but haven't worked out how you post them for friends only, so if anyone knows how I can do that, please let me know.
In the most recent ones, I'm wearing my favourite suit which I got for our garden party last August, and which is already too loose really! I wore it to work for the meeting on Thursday and felt like I wasn't the 'dowdy, out-of-place' one for a change. It makes such a difference to my attitude at work if I think I look the part and I think people treated me differently too.
When I reviewed the photos we had taken, even though I deleted most of them, I wasn't cringing at ALL of them for a change. Makes a difference when we don't think we look so huge anymore, doesn't it? Just wish I hadn't taken so long to get around to doing them!
