Shopping & What today holds

Well I wasn't as well behaved as I should have been when I met my friend for lunch :-( But I made up for it by the power walk that I did to the nursing office yesterday when I thought our deadline was 12noon. It wasn't it was 2pm but the walk did me good.


Then I braved Asda last night to try and get some healthy food in the cupboards. I'm just going to say it, it's cheaper being fat!!! I can't believe how expensive it is to try and eat healthy! I'm trying to follow a low GI diet so that I feel fuller for longer so went to buy super lean beef mince last night. It was double the price of normal beef mince! I'm aware at this point that I sound like a crazy old lady but what I spent last night on a week's worth of shopping wasn't a kick in the backside off what I spend for 2/3 weeks worth normally.


Anyway, I just need to keep the end result in sight! I got my target dress last yesterday as well and its great inspiration hanging on my wardrobe door :-)


Today is my first day back at uni since we went out on placement and the Christmas break. It'll be good catching up with everyone! I'm also going to gym when we finish so I can add another activity post when I get home. I have no idea what I'm doing at the gym and normally just work my ass until I (a) can't breath and (b) look as red in the face as the Aberdeen FC home kit. If anyone has a workout programme or has any vague idea how you're meant to work out, I would appreciate any advice at all

Good news!!!!

I'm not sure how to start this post.  It's been so full on with placement at the moment and I've got one more essay due for Uni. I only have 9 weeks left until I'm fully qualified. I starte d to apply for jobs a few weeks ago and got called for an interview in the hospital that I currently work in but unfortunately I didn't get it. On Saturday just passed, I went down to Manchester for an interview. I wasn't sure how the interview had gone, it was so intense. I became really aware during the interview that I was speaking very quickly in my Scottish accent and I started to concentrate on slowing down my speech. I came out of it convinced that I had done ok but not well enough to actually get the job. But all the interviews are good practice. They said they would let me know by Friday so I just put it out of my mind. However, I got a call yesterday from them......................and I GOT THE JOB!!!!! It's full time and permanent. I can't believe it,...

Devastated!!

When I wrote my last blog, I knew that I had some huge news although I didn't think I would be telling our news this early or that this is how it would end. I'm writing about this because I promised this blog would be honest and the last few weeks have had a huge impact on me as an individual and Matt & I as a couple. I discovered at the end of June that I was pregnant. I was so excited and could not believe it. With my PCOS I had given up any hope of falling pregnant naturally. I was over the moon. Unfortunately at 5 weeks I started to bleed. A week later, I had a scan but they couldn't tell me whether the pregnancy was viable anymore so I've had to wait another week. Today it was confirmed that I have lost the baby. The last 2 weeks have been some of the worst I've ever had. I've only been able to fall asleep by imagining that we were told the baby was still growing. But when I wake up it's like a jolt back to reality when I realise that that's...

Willpower

I've never considered myself one of these lucky people who have a load of willpower. In fact I would say I'm exactly the opposite but I've set myself a wee challenge to test what little willpower I have. In my handbag are 3 chocolate sweets that I got off my granny ages ago. They've just sat in the bottom of my bag and I had totally forgotten about them. During a wee craving for sugar this week, I found them and really felt like I needed them. BUT I didn't have them. So they've become sort of like a reminder that I don't need any crappy food. I watched One Born Every Minute this week and there was a woman on it who suffered from the same thing I do, PCOS. She made a good point as well. PCOS is affected by weight and to have a baby she was told that she had to lose it. She would starting weighing up junk food with a baby. Now I know that Matt and I aren't at the baby making phase yet but ultimately if I want to have a family I need to get rid of my ex...
