I'm sick!

On Monday we were out in Norfolk delivering some chairs. Yesterday I was asleep in bed ALL day - even through the noisy chavy bloke's music downstairs. Today I'm back at work and I don't feel so bad, but I'm not exercising today and I'm going to save myself for double kickboxing tomorrow! :rolleyes:

Monday night's teaching was interesting. I let Lee take the class and he was MEAN! :devil: I'm going to be super-b*tch when I get the class to myself! :lol: :devil:

Feeling slightly confident about being healthy and things - since Sunday I've been eating junk and it's bad! I went to get some veggies from Tesco today, but they didn't have any - I will send the gopher out for some, he is off to M&S, so we'll see :D

I had a great time in Italy and somehow go figure managed to lose more than half a stone in 5 days think it was that I drank so much water it eliminated my bloat. I drank loads two nights and had icecream twice and croissants once so don't get that one at all.

:cp: :cool: Well done princess! It's amazing what a change of routine can do for you! Were you walking lots too?

I had a nice relaxing evening with a HUGE veggie and chicken stir-fry and lots of old magazines and books and snuggled in bed. I dozed off before DF came home but woke up enough to tell him where his dinner was :lol:

Had a good eating day yesterday, no exercise, but I am revved up for kickboxing tonight :hyper:

Well done Princess, that is great! Glad you had a great time as well, double the YAY!!

Off to a Greek restaurant tonight. Our Departmental Greek God has got us all in the mood by sending a sample of some Greek guy warbling "Knocking on Heaven's Door". He thinks it is great. I think it is scarey! Enough (almost) to put me off my Houmous!!!

walked loads but I walk at least 7 a day normally anyway so its not much of a change. I guess I should eat more sundried tomatos as thats what I lived on. Yummy yum

Enjoy the greek food

Oooh ooh, MRI as in Manchester Royal Infirmary???? We'll have to do coffee!!!

I'm feeling a bit more with tonight, it's 9.42 and I am NOT IN BED!!! First time I have been up past 9 all week! I've packed DH off to pub so I can have an early night, so it won't be long.

I'm aiming for gym every second day whilst I'm so jet lagged. I think that's reasonable!

And I'm taking my lunch to work, managed every day so far this week, despite being jet lagged! My food has been very organised, even I am impressed. I made a gorgeous wagamama style seared chili beef ramen dish with loads of veggies tonight. It was really yummy and only 400 calories, if that!

lou1978 07-13-2006 05:16 PM

ops... no... MRI as in magetic resonance imaging.. i will be a nurse sedationist.. so basically.. NO doctors woo hoo!...all nurse led... we assessthe kids, prescribe and give the sedation (oral or IV), make sure they are safe,... sit with them and observe during the scan.. and wake 'em up after !

we have a GA list to .. but for that we would just recover them n send them to the ward.. the other part the kids just need to come for a few hours...

think i will start in august !


we completed run 3 of week one today !!!... we turned down the speed a bit much more confortable!....

kykaree 07-14-2006 01:23 AM

Hmmmm knocking brats out with sedation - that sounds like a fun job :D I'm a bit child challenged!!!

I was getting all excited that we were about to reform another Southerner!

I'm up, I managed to get a normal nights sleep last night, rather than one of my epic 11 hour post jet lag comas.

I've taken my lunch to work every day this week, yay me!

2frustrated 07-14-2006 03:37 AM

I'm SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO mad :tantrum:

I'll update later - I have to go to the airport, but I am SO MAD :mad:

And I thought we were living in the 21st centuary.

Oooh lost another half pound, woo! :halffull:

kykaree 07-14-2006 03:49 AM

I'm curious now, what has made the superwoman so MAD??????

I'm at work and falling asleep at my desk and I've not even started yet!

Hola everyone! Just a quick update from sunny Espana.

I'm not doing too badly, eating could be a lot worse (although we did have takeaway pizza last night :devil: , mind you, on previous holidays I'd have been on my fourth or fifth pizza of the week by the time we got to Thursday evening, and for lunch today mum suggested going somewhere where I always have pizza and I said I'd prefer not to with having had it last night, so we're staying in and I'm making a salad).

I walked about three miles along the beach the other way only wearing a bikini!!! Usually I wear a sarong or a skirt over my bottom half, but I decided to brave baring the whole of my thighs. No-one appeared to run screaming from the sight (mind you, part of it was through the nudist area of the beach so there was a lot worse on view :o ) And then I got to the end, put my stupidly short skirt back on and got chatted up at a bus stop by a Cypriot bloke. While wearing a bikini! :carrot:

I hit the sales up in Las Palmas the other day, and got a gorgeous red and white spotty dress from Mango for about £10. It's a medium and 2 things surprised me - first that it's a medium (which is a small in US sizes apparently) and I worse it twice before I realised there was a zip down the side - I'd just been pulling it on without undoing it. And second that their sizing is odd, some things are S, M, L and others are 10, 12 etc (and the european/mexican equivalents). and some are mixed - including one dress I tried on which said it was a M in Spanish sizes and a UK... 10. (And it fit!). I'm probably heading to a local commercial centre this morning before I head down to the beach, just to see whether there's anything else there that they didn't have in Las Palmas.

I even went for a run the other night. Only about three miles, but that takes the total number of miles I've ever run in GC to... 3. Which is a step in the right direction. I might go for a longer run on Sunday morning because we only go out late on Sundays so there's a bit more time, but it's just a bit hot and sunny to think about running most of the time, so I'm taking the chance to let my legs rest a bit.

Anyway, I'd better get off and do something useful with myself I suppose!
