well its friday and im home.... been having lots of thinking time today and there are a few things that have been bothering me. One my weight I know i keep saying im going to lose it but I just haven't had the will power, but after having been speaking to someone who is my age and height and seeing how good she looked I really need to pull my finger out, my work skirt is tight and i feel horrid!!
So as of monday I'm going carb free!! I've done this before and it worked well, so here we go again, I just need to be organised, and I'm going to circuit training at lunch time which will be good for me too.
an other thing that is bothering me and I know it shouldnt is my career.... I don't have one as such at the moment, and as you know I've decided to have kids, then I'm going to leave and work part time then study for a degree and finally be a teacher, but right now i just feel a bit worthless doing a rubbish job that anyone can do with no skill level attached and a very poor wage.... but i cant leave for atleast a year due to my contract anyway.
The other thing is money..... I'm trying so hard to pay off my debts etc, and last year I was paying them off but in smaller amounts but not racking up any new ones and just bought what I wanted. But due to the wedding and my car I'm having to severly tighten my belt, and to be honest I am really missing having money, for instance I got a karen millen dress last year that i bought for my christmas do, and theres one i want this year but at £200 its a bit steep, but one of the girls in the office has just bought the same one... I so want it to wear on new years eve....
I wouldnt have to give these things up if I carried on working for a while longer, maybe instead of til december 2010 maybe until aug 2011, but I've already told OH I'm happy to have kids next year..... oh I'm so confused...
Basically I don't know what I want.... help please.

Ok hun, for what its worth and i speak from experience you have too many balls in the air. If i were you i would pick one to focus on the most and battle theese things in order. I always find i lose weight anyway when i stop thinking about it. :rolleyes: (she says sucking a lolly from trick or treat bucket!)
Teacher training sounds good my only advice is if you want it go with it time slips so quickly.
Re dress so you really want it? sit on this one for a whie and think do you want it or would the 200 pound make a difference spent else where.
En joy your night dont be stressed it really does not help.

for the dress I would search online for alternatives that look similar without the label and dress it up to make it stand out there are many sites online that copy designer styles and it doesnt mean the quality is going to be any different...
I started circuit training again 2 days ago after months of not going and being unfit, after a 1hour 30min circuit i was completely out of it could barely even drive my car and my body was as stiff as concrete and today i am just as bad i have to use my hands to pull my legs up to walk :rotfl:, i dont suggest doing it on your lunchbreak..if you're just starting out i reccommend pilates, swimming, a light run or maybe even boxersize to ween you into a hard workout such as circuits
hope i helped0 -
I know you're right its just so hard, I want to be so many things, and I'm so confused right now, just feeling really old and bit lonesome as oh is away and its near fireworks night etc. x0
