Things are changing.......and I'm so excited!!

Today I went out for my very first solo run. It was a bit lonely without any of the Commando's with me but I'm so chuffed with myself for doing it. 


I did 6.819km in 65 mins. About 5.2km of that I actually ran and the rest was the walk to and from my house. I can't go to commando training on Saturday because I'm working nightshift this weekend so I thought a wee run would do the trick.


I can't pretend I wasn't nervous. I was convinced it would be like Mr Blobby running along the road. But I did it and there were other people on the track cycling and running. I'm not really going to get a chance to go out for a run again before the 5k that I'm doing next Friday but I've done my first solo run so its something to tick off the list.


When I started this weight loss thing last October I was wearing size 24 vests. I still see that, when I look in the mirror that's what I see. Last night though, I had to go and buy some more vests. I bought exactly the same vests as I did last year but this time in a size 18. I wore one this morning and it actually fits properly. Tonight Matt's going to pick up a full length mirror that I've bought. I don't buy mirrors but it's just another one of my things that are changing.


I'm going back to Weight Watchers tonight and I'm hoping for a big loss. Haven't been for a while but I'm just going to chalk off all the bad stuff as the past and just look forward. It's been a great week this week and I've exercised my butt off. I've done Commando training 4 times and I've been for a run. Go me!!


Next week's plan isn't as exercise heavy but should still be enough to get a decent loss


Monday - Commando Training (hopefully, I'm working nightshift on Sunday night so not sure if I'll manage to training)
Tuesday - Commando Training
Wednesday - Working
Thursday - Working
Friday - 5k in Kirkcaldy
Saturday - Commando Training
Sunday - Wee run


On a Commando training note, the trainers made it into the paper yesterday and I got a wee mention. Picture below......

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...
