Day 22

[Charley65]

Hi All. Well yesterday day 21 was quite good had a Christmas meal which was nice, but day 22 is here now and I'm back on it ready to record a weight loss next week although I have another Christmas meal tomorrow but I will be very mindful of that I don't want to undo too much hard work. Have a good day everyone. x x -

I have my Christmas meal this Friday. The main is mushroom nut roast so I suppose that won't be too bad and I'm sure there will be lots of veggies. It's the creme brulee and alcohol that will undoubtedly ensue that I need to watch myself on! Trying to have a really healthy few days in the lead up so I have more room to indulge a little

Hi Hope you have a lovely meal on Friday the Mushroom nut roast sounds delish, My problem is purely food I don't drink alcohol. But as I have said before on here life happens so I have to just deal with it while enjoying life x x +

Hi Betty, Just checking in to see how you're doing and it looks as though your doing really well. Well done and keep it up. Very impressed. I am looking forward to joining you again in January. I've gone back to work after 5 weeks off with stress and it's not gone well so been doing a lot of comfort eating and am definitely preparing to go the whole hog in the new year but looks like I've got a lot of catching up to do!

Hope you have a lovely Christmas if we don't speak before

Hi Cat So pleased to hear from you and looking forward to you joining me when your ready. Hope your enjoying your Xmas parties that you were attending. So sorry that you have been suffering stress at work I know its easier said than done but can you not change your job I suffered stress at work mainly caused by one person who I couldn't report as it was my boss ( I didn't believe any of the seniors would take notice of me) I developed health problems at the time which eventually kept me off work, as I was approaching retirement they asked me if I was going to stay on which I would have done if I could have been rid of the stress when I returned but knowing what I was going back to I took the retirement unfortunately it caused me problems financially but it was worth it to permanently get out of the severe stress that I was under, I also believe it caused one of the serious health problems I developed. But take care lovely to hear from you x x-

thanks Betty, Yes you're right nothing is really worth putting your health at risk like that. I have left teaching before only to get drawn back into it. I am at least part time now so it's a compromise but like it was for you it's the boss who's the biggest problem. I'm going to give it till the summer then make a decision. I have definitely been thinking lots about shifting this weight as I think it's causing a lot of unnecessary issues. My mother in law bought me a fit bit for my birthday so is clearly trying to tell me something! Problem is that makes me put my foot down as I hate doing things just to please her!

I am going to try and get some exercise over the next week to keep me positive. We have 3 meals out this weekend for mine and my daughters birthday!

Take care Betty
