Hello girls!
Well, I’ve had a pretty good day today. I didn’t sleep to well, but was rested enough for work. Only my second week! It wasn’t too bad today; we got a few more things to do which was good and made it go a bit faster. Funny how tiring being bored is. My achilles are covered in blisters! I wore plasters, my sports socks and my running shoes to try and cushion my feet better but they’re so swollen it’s not nice. Never mind!
After work I saw two of my old work colleagues. One of them is meant to be a good friend of mine (not Mhairi). However I wasn’t feeling the friendliness vibes I hae to say. Last night we did get round to bleaching my hair, but because it’s shoulder-length we ran out of peroxide mix. That meant that the red level is reduced, but leaves me ginger. Not strawberry blonde or auburn, properly ginger. I wore my hair in a ponytail to work today and that doens’t look so bad, planning to bleach again tonight, except the chemist is out of peroxide. Looking for more tomorrow at Boots. Anyhow these two “friends” of mine kept staring at my hair, then at each other rather meaningfully while I was talking to them. While I was right there! Then my girlfriend who I haven’t seen nor heard from in 4 weeks said pretty little to me. I know it’s silly but the hair thing really bugged me. At work, the people who have only really met me twice were really nice and we had a bit of a laugh about it but they were reassuring rather than taking the mick. And one of my supposed closest friends was quite a bitch about it. Hmm…
Anyhow. I know I was moaning about my boy last night - sorry for that by the way - but it is rather funny. Whenever I form an opinion about him he proves me wrong, good or bad! Today he came to visit me in work, and made tea, and did all his jobs in the house, and has been generally rather lovely. What do you know? I moan I know and I am sorry for that, but I know I couldn’t live without him really. He’s much to nice for that.
So how am I feeling about Monday’s weigh-in? A bit apprehensive to be honest. This is the first week since I’ve started that I’ve done exercise three times a week and really been trying to eat carefully. Maybe this sounds silly, but sometimes I feel lighter or heavier, and this week I feel a bit bloated and heavy. Not so good…. At least I know I’ve been trying though. But dearie me three times a week doesn’t sound much does it? Well, tomorrow I’m going to visit my gran and seeing my mum while she’s visiting too and we’re taking my gran’s dog for a long walk so does that count? Still, from that it sounds like I should be doing more, but I did need those rest days this week because I was quite sore. Now that sounds like I’m making excuses! Lol oh dear.
Any thoughts? Please feel free to comment! Hope you’re all doing well 
Some times I find when my best beloved
has done something annoying i get a faster result by not nagging and just quietly waiting for him to realise what he’s done. softly softly catchy monkey! sometimes i’ll just bring it up weeks later ‘you remember when you….well that really upset me…’ and i find that often makes him feel really bad and he will be on his best behaviour for ages. Childish? yes. does it work. Oh,, yes.
Most recent triumph with this technique- I asked him to do the sponsored walk with me and he was soooo annoying and negative. Saying stuff like ‘what’s the point? It’s only 12 miles. What you wann do that for on a sunday?’ grrrrr So instead of getting annoyed and arguing which was my first reaction i sent him a nice little email the next day saying i wanted to do it to stay focused on my exercise, to feel like i’ve achieved something and raise some money for a charity. And i wanted him to want to support me because i love him and want to do things with him and if he really didn’t want to do it i would do it by myself and he could sponsor me. guilt trip? Oh yes? He signed up of his own accord pretty much straight away! I won, and no argument.
And it’s 13miles anyway, which is 20.8km! I don’t know about you but that seems like a long long way! lol
