My 30th Birthday!!!

It's 106 days until my party so am trying to get motivated with the weight loss and keep thinking about it. I have another venue lined up which I'm going to see on Sunday after my volunteering shift. Providing I like the room, I'll confirm it and start doing everything. I'm not counting my chickens though, not yet. I've booked Matt and I a room in the hotel the night before the party and then on the night off the party, I have a house full of people staying. I'm getting excited so I'm hoping that spurs on the weight loss this week. I'm just leavin the stress of the last few weeks, it's not worth it. So the party.....plan is 80's themed all the way. Room decorations, invites and most importantly dress code. I'm not going to force anyone to dress up (except Matt) but it'll be good fun. It's also an easy and relatively cheap one to do. Neon colours, leg warmers and big hair for the girls and a Michael J Fox from Back to the Future look for the boys. I'm also going to ask people not to bring gifts. I'm going to set up a JustGiving page that I'm going to ask people to donate to instead. It's either going to be for Beating Bowel Cancer or St Columba's which the hospice that my dad died in. I really don't need anything and a lot of my friends are students and I know how much pressure we're under financially. I have my outfit for the party down to 2 options both of which are pinned to my fridge. Anything to remind myself about the goal. Body combat tonight and then walking lots tomorrow.... Here we go

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...
