heehee at "pump yr arms as yr running for the door"
Well I havent been to the gym in 2 days and feel like crap because of it. Worked yesterday (does running up n down flights of stairs between 2 wards count?) and today i have been trying to get house organised for an inspection. Tomorrow morning i will be at the gym when the doors open. So lacking in energy.
How shameful. Just got a phone call from my daughter laughing her guts out. There is a photo in the newspaper of me at the gym HALF THE SIZE OF THE DAMN BACK PAGE. Nooooo not inconspicuous in the middle of the paper or in small size. Its HUGE. They r promoting the gym I recently joined. The other day they wandered around taking pics of everyone and the body blast class that was on at the same time. They did ask if they could take a pic and i said yeah and they didnt know what they would use it for at that time. lmao
WTG Gen. I was heading out to the gym at 9am this morning but got a call from work to start early to do an escort into the city and bring another patient back then do my shift on the ward. i asked if i could then knock off before 10.15 and was told no lol. so 5 hours for escort then another 8 on the ward. boy am i stuffed now i am off to bed. will drag my sorry arse to the gym tomorrow morning. night girls
Thank you for posting Lindor, it's good to know you're doing okay. Have you thought any more about maybe seeing a grief counsellor? PLEASE look after yourself xx
Bloody **** Gen, nearly didn't recogise you. You're looking good - but more than that you have "that" look in your eyes, and it's great to see you being so determined and starting to see some results.
Sorry I haven't been around - I'm trying to get my head into the right space for losing weight again, and I think I am almost there.
Vonni I cracked up laughing at your newspaper story. Was that bad of me?
Julia I have been following the news about the earthquake and its aftershocks. Glad you're OK but your nerves must be just about frayed by now.
Lindor there is a point, and it's important that you fight your way through this and find it. A "purpose" to your life isn't going to knock on your door - you actually need to create it, even if it means making stuff up until something jumps out at you. I don't mean to sound harsh matey - but you can't sit at home feeling self-pity. Why not volunteer to help weed some old lady's garden, or something else like that? I often find that when I am at my lowest, it really helps me if I go and do something for someone else.
I don't know - I'm worried about you, and I think it's important for you to do something to take care of yourself. If you won't talk to someone about your grief, you need to find a way to start to move forward. Otherwise the danger is that you will turn your grief and sadness inwards and punish yourself. And that's never a good thing.
Anyway I must get ready for work. Sometimes I would love it if I had a job where I didn't work every weekend…
Ani I'm exactly the same as you - trying to get myself into the right head space to start losing weight again and gosh it's a battle. So much of the weight loss process is mental though and you've got to have your mind in the right place to succeed.
The earthquakes over the past week have been a great excuse for me to avoid getting back into it. We're finally having less aftershocks and life is starting to feel a bit more normal again so I'm going to plan to start fresh tomorrow.
Party a success so its back to the gym for me tomorrow. Had almost the whole week off grrrr and feeling quite lethargic. Then I'll have a week off again cause going away to my sisters for a week on the 17th so I must remember to pack the wii and at least do a bit of yoga / pilates while I am away.
