Day off work and its not raining ! woohoo ! Calves, lunch, and take the dog to the beach methinks ! Hope youve had a lovely day

Hey Everyone

Thank you for all your best wishes for my Day Out....I had a really great time....Some of the Animals weren't out with it being so cold....but it IS a really nice Zoo....and it was WONDERFUL to see the Elephants....they are such amazing Animals....

I took nearly 100 Photo's....some of which came out really well and some didn't :rotfl: Just got to sort through them now....I got some lovely ones of the Sun Bears...who are REALLY cute by the way!!

Most of all it was just lovely to spend time with my Best Friend....we had a great time together and he even treated me to Lunch...which was really sweet of him....

So all in all it was a lovely day....if not a little cold....It didn't rain although it tried to a couple of times....but we didn't get wet at all!! Which was good....

I got home around 2.30pm....which was a little earlier than I'd planned but we saw everything quite quickly...and were happy with that....And then I got some sleep...only woke up about half an hour ago....

I'm working tonight....Its going to take me about 8 hours to get what I want to get tonight....and then I'm at College all day tomorrow....

So all in all I'm feeling good....

No Diamond...I haven't been to that one....But I hope you have loads of fun....

Hey Mara :beer: Good to have you in here....

Catch you all later on xXx

Hey Helen, Its the end of week one on my diet, good few days, bad couple of days, weigh in tomorrow morning ! Wish me luck, cos Im gonna need it !!
Hope youve hit your weekly work target, Your positivity early in the week really shone out ! :beer:
Had a bit of an awful week ,discovered someone was a compulsive liar, had to call them out on it as it had affected someone else .We've known for a while they were a bit of a fantasist, but this was just too much.:eek: I dont know why people have to lie about things to make themselves seem more interesting or important. My memory is not good enough even for fibs ! lol, Id trip myself up in a heartbeat !
Anyhoo, Its a new week, So Good luck wae the targets ! x

Morning Hun xxx

Hope Weigh-In goes okay....remember, as long as it's going down that's the main thing!! Don't worry about your bad days....we all have them....

:eek: To the lying....I don't see why people do that....it's really not worth it....sorry to hear that you had to call them out on it...that must have been difficult...but hopefully it will make them think twice before doing it again!!

I got what I wanted in my Target last Week....Plus a bit extra so that I can afford a small Treat on Thursday when I get paid...so I'm really really pleased with that!! Just got to start on THIS Week's Target now....

Decided that I wouldn't look at the whole Week...Just one day at a time....Makes it easier to think of it that way....That way I don't get overwhelmed....and as long as I meet my Target overall for the Week then it doesn't matter how I do it...

College at the Weekend was AMAZING...I love the Weekends as they really remind me what I'm aiming for....and how close I am to achieving it....Only the rest of this Year left and then next Year and then I'm done....although might have to do an extra 6 months or so to get my Hours sorted...but that's fine...

So, all in all feeling extremely positive today....Long may it continue!!

Helen why not hold off the treat until after this week? That way it is a bit of a buffer just in case!

Mara_uk7

Helen, would you mind. Deleting the quote off your reply to me please, I changed mine just in case someone might identify he guilty party. Me and my big mouth ! Lol ta. X

Thanks hun....I feel like something shifted at the Weekend....It was all about setting Goals and finding out what my "Blocks" are when it comes to achieving Goals...it really couldn't have come at a better time.....and I just feel that something has shifted and I feel a LOT better about Work and about some of my Goals for the Future....

All done hun....How did you get on at Weigh-In this morning? Come on, don't keep me in suspense...I'm dying to know how much weight you lost!!

I worked until 10am (which I felt quite proud of)...hit my mini-target for the morning....and then went to bed....and had nightmares about the rape...I haven't had nightmares like that for a while and it's really hit me quite hard....but I guess I just have to try and forget about the Nightmare and carry on Surviving...

I'm working tonight from 8pm until 8am tomorrow morning and then getting some sleep so I'm ready for College tomorrow Evening.....Feeling quite excited about hitting my work Target this week again and knowing that I CAN do it!!

Thanks for that Hun , weight loss was only 2 lbs , not surprising really cos I ate like a bear about to hibernate, all weekend ! This week will be better, in June, I am meeting up with an old friend who I haven't seen In yonks , am about 2 stone heavier now than I was last time I saw her. Eeeek :eek:
Sorry to hear you're having nightmares, no advice from here I'm afraid, it's scary how real they can be.
Long shift at work, are the calls constant,or do you get wee breaks in between ?
I am back at work tomorrow after a long weekend off, not really looking forward to it either, but hey oh, mortgage won't pay itself !
