I've now lost a stone in weight. I think I want to lose at least another 5-7 pounds. |

I've not had the willpower before scallywag - being told you are pre-diabetic is amazing motivation. |

chantel is it today ? or tomorrow I fogotten AGAIN  for the office meeting xx We had it last Thursday scallywag - I have decided to just carry on with my own hours Monday, Wednesday and Thursday it’s better for my mental health although there is an issue with Wednesday only 2 receptionists in on a Wednesday am and if one of them is off it’s left to me to cover because the others don’t work on a Wednesday ☹️I said that I thought it was very unfair that it always falls on me . the temp manager has taken away the rota to see what she can do . She said she may have to change one of the receptionists day off to Thursday and they may have to work the Wednesday. she said that she may have to tweak the hours a bit depending what day this new receptionist will be working. if I’m not given any extra admin time to do the new admin jobs I will be taking on I won’t be taking it on because I won’t be able to fit it in during the hours I work and I don’t want any more hours. i did express my feelings to the manager about not wanting to do any more early shifts other than the Monday I already work 8-4 my anxiety can be bad in a morning and it helps me come around if I can take the pooches a walk. i will let you know what happens 😊 |

Keep up the good work 😄x I still have some around my tummy and I think that's going to be the hardest to get rid of. I'm going to do sit ups and other tummy exercises to see if that can help shift it - I think it's just a problem for women. |

I've always had a Buda belly. It doesn't matter how much weight I loose, or exercises I do, I'll still have it.  Oh well, that's life.  |

I didn't weigh myself until I could see I was losing weight. You have to give yourself a little treat - one glass of wine each evening? Lovely pics of the Northern Lights - I am so jealous, I'm not in the right area to get any. |

During lockdown I lost almost 2 stone. I have an old wii so I had that on each day, it tracked not only my weight, but also my BMI. It was the BMI coming down by maybe one point each day that kept me going. If it wasn't for that I'd have never had done it, and would probably be about 12 stone now.  |

Fantastic photos scallywag, I've never seen them, and I live farther up the country. They were saying a few week back on the TV that a camara can pick them up better than the naked eye. |

Yes amazing photos scallywag You have done really well lotsofcats 😄 I started the gym back in February , I try and go twice a week on my days off but sometimes it’s really hard to get motivated. Like cazypops states no matter how many sit ups I do it doesn’t help with my stomach ☹️but I don’t think I’m in the right frame of mind at the moment. Well that’s my excuse 😁 |

The temp manager had a wo d with me yesterday regarding the new rota.
She said she wanted to let me know that she had changed a couple of the receptionists days off from the Wednesday to the Thursday but she had not touched my shifts.
So my days are the same 8-4 Monday 11:45 Wednesday and Thursday and I might be able to get a bit of admin done Thursday afternoons because we don’t have any phones ringing after 12pm it’s half day although we do still have patients coming in for appointments.

for the office meeting xx
I have days when I think I need to loose a stone , just to get back to how I was before losing Mum and Beau , but then I read that Cetralopran side affects was weight gain , and this all ties in.
or do I want to be happy and accept my weight gain.
