Not long home from shopping. Going to have a break just now and then start some cooking. Planning to make meatloaf for the freezer, choc crispies and choc brownies. Again these will go in the freezer to use as snacks when I go back to work.

This is something i need to start doing at the weekend. Once i've emptied the freezer. It's something i say im going to do every week but never actually get round to.

This morning i thought its time to start getting out of some bad habits i have developed. The first one being sitting about in my jammies till lunchtime. So got up and jumped in the shower first thing am going to try and do this every morning this month to break that habit.

Second habit is eating junk instead of cooking, and third one is sitting around getting no exercise. I will work these into my steps this month as well!

Sounds like me at the weekend if i don't have to go anywhere i stay in my jammies.

I was busy this weekend so didn't get much done. Went out sat night for the first time in about 4 months so i was suffering yesterday.

Morning everyone

Well I had a lovely holiday, but was back at work yesterday and although nothing dreadful happened, I spent an hour last night just sobbing over it - couldn't stop. I'm taking this as a sign that I'm finding it too stressful and need to do something about it ASAP! So today's steps are:

1. Approach HR and tell them, as my manager doesn't listen (I report to the MD and I don't think he even bothers reading my emails). I'm going to do this by email so there's a record of it and explain that I'm getting more and more work but no extra time to do it in, as I'm full time anyway, and no training to help. Which leads me on to......
2. Look for a new job. I had an interview a few weeks ago and didn't get it, but I could be more proactive in looking for new things, or seeing what training I could do.
3. Look for ways to help me in the short term - a friend has suggested reflexology - might help me feel less like I'm about to cry again at any second.
4. Work out an exercise plan which I can actually stick to, as I need to lose at least half a stone.
5. Work out meal plans for the next couple of weeks - I am really bad at this and usually end up going shopping again after a few days, so if anyone has any suggestions that would be very useful.

Good luck everyone and have a great day xx
