    Uggh. Rubbish day so far. Woke up with the alarm and could have cried at the thought of going into work. I've been here less than an hour and my stress levels have jumped massively and some idiot has scheduled a lunchtime meeting. I hate meetings at the best of times and I especially hate meetings between 12-1! Especially as its going to mean even more work for me. And it will effect my gym time, because either I can't go, or I can go after 1 which means I won't get to eat ny lunch til after 2. And I have to be good today. There's less than 10 weeks to the wedding and I'm a whale!

    Why can't people just leave me alone on my first day back!!

    Hey Codemonkey!!

    Time for deep breathing I thing.

    Lunchtime meetings suck :( Not what you need on your 1st day back. But it will be fine:)

    BUt... I do not believe that you are in anyway a whale - not from all your posts... very inspirational actually. You have prompted me to get back to teh gym... when I renew my membership that is:o

    Awww thanks Hadley. I think I'm just preparing myself for battle. My meeting later is with a colleague who is very young, keen, and almost ocd about detail. I need to tell him that what he's aiming for is impossible and I havent managed to find a way to do this without upsetting him. I actually have made him cry in the past and then I end up feeling bad for upsetting him. I'm also annoyed about the meeting because it could be done earlier but he doesn't do early starts. I feel like my lunchtime routine is being messed up because someone wants to sleep til 10.

    Don't think the AF bloating is helping my body image. My jeans are too tight today and I just feel bleurgh and draggy. Hey, my day can only get better from here.


    Ah the horrible gym membership. Thankfully mine is done through work so comes out of my pay automatically. It's also very hard to ignore a gym that stares at you when you come in every morning.

    Thats not fair... why should you have to work around your colleague... well I know there has to be give and take, but hey. You should get your own back by scheduling a meeting he has to attend for 1st thing. Not that I'm evil or anything.:rotfl:

    Am so jealous ... a gym at work. I have to go early in the morning or in the evening as my gym is at home. over an hour from where I work... so no lunchtime work outs for me. :)

    Ooh good idea. 8am meeting being scheduled soon!

    Ooh Hadley, how do you make yourself go? A new gym opened up near my home, but I know that by the time I get home, i won't be able to make myself go.

    Oooft I ache all over. Shovelglove is quite effective on the legs, arms, shoulders, pecs and for some reason hands. I'm even being girl and only using a 4lb hammer.

    Ah you have spotted the issue.. I also struggle to go in the evenings. Occasionally manage in the morning, but only sometimes. Hence the need to renew the membership:o

    Still have been good so far today, but (and its a big but) that will change later at the lovely resturant!

    hello ladies. how is everyone? :-)

    i read all the stuff and i am also in the same boat. :-(

    codemonkey i hope you are ok and not too stressed. is your wedding in 10 weeks time? thats so cool. i cant wait for mine now as all the stuff is getting to me now.

    Jo good luck with the photographer. i still need to find one!! eek. they so bloody expensive esp when you mention weddings. wish i did that for a career! bah...

    being at the gym after work is way too hard for me as i just want to eat. its bad enough at lunch times. i know exactly what you mean codemonkey. When my classes get shifted to a later time or like tomorrow, i have to attend a team bonding session with my stupid team who i dont even like, i want to scream as it messes up my routine and also eating times. i did no gym today as had the morning off to have my fitting which was a nightmare as i didnt take my hoop and i had needed it. and the basque i got fit so weirdly that the lady said to return it. luckily i had a strapless fantasie bra and that came to my rescue.. i felt so down that i couldnt wear something sexy underneath rather than the usual.. :-( didnt eat breakfast this morning as was rushing out with my mum, so have a headache and feel crap today.

    oh a Colin is those little chocolate snacks that you get from Marks and are shaped in the form of a catterpillar and one piece is usually enough for me as its chocolatey and its head is made of white chocolate. yum. i fancy one now as feel stressed. :-(

    codemonkey you have made me want to get a sledgehammer now.. you saying that your sore is enough that it def works. :-) sorry to hear about your colleague though. def get him back hehe

    im tired and dont want to be here and i fancy junk!!! :-(

    Hello Rups. Sorry to hear about your basque. I think its pretty difficult to find something sexy to wear under the dress that is comfy enough to wear all day and doesn't show. I think I'm going to just wear my strapless wonderbra, new control pants (its a pantygirdle but isnt that the least sexy word ever?) and then get something to slip into at night.

    when's your wedding Rups?

    Hadley, I see your point. Getting there is the hardest part. I find that once I'm in the gym and changed its easy from there. I'm struggling with the making myself go part.

    I just want to sleep now. I let a packet of crisps find their way into my lunch. Not technically bad as it would fit on a plate with my ham roll but I still feel bad.
