Good result at SW last night: lost 2lbs, so I'm back on track, only 1/2 lb over my lowest weight for about 15 years!! I'm determined to do this, as I am cross with myself for wasting all this time since the beginning of the summer; up a bit, down a bit... it's not good enough for me, and I'm getting impatient.
Apart from that, yesterday I showed my new colleague, Ann, my photography flyer and she gasped and said how beautiful the photos were (she knows how to suck up to a new colleague, ha ha). Her son is a professional footballer (who shall remain nameless, but isn't alas in the Premiership due to recurrent injury) and she thought he could mention me to a few of his friends. His most famous friend would appear to be this delicious man, so send me some positive vibes please (although he's now in Barcelona which is not exactly next door is it?). Hopefully, some nice WAG will decide she wants me to take pictures of her family, and then all her WAG friends will be jealous and hire me too. You gotta dream big!!!
So, apart from that, work is absolutely hellishly busy at the moment. And because of the "turmoil in the markets" all the bosses are really on edge, with mine in particular being more demanding than ever. I suppose it comes with the territory, but personally I don't think being stressed gives anyone the right to be condescending to people who are working hard to do their job. That's not how I work, anyway. Because of this, I'm really tired due to the long days but on top of that I'm having a bit of a flare up of my arthritis, which is auto-immune, and I was REALLY under par Sunday and yesterday. I'm talking so tired I can hardly keep my eyes open even after 2 good nights' sleep and no work, or walking home from the station is like climbing Everest. The OH is always worried when that happens, I don't think he's quite understood just how it can affect me. I know it's bad when I wake up in the morning and my knuckles or elbows ache - you can't say that's due to my weight or walking too much or anything when random non-weight bearing joints hurt first thing! The specialist always says I must "pace myself", so all I can do at these times is get plenty of rest and early nights. With that, I'll just finish up here and take myself off to bed with a nice hot water bottle and some warm milk. OOh I love Autumn evenings!
Good for you on the SW result- and the renewed resolve!! Hope you feel better soon ...
