Weigh In

I put on 1lb this week :-( But it's ok. I've had an amazing week and the banter/carry on has been brilliant!

So vital statistics out the way first
Week 1 - 17st 1lb
Week 2 - 16st 6lbs
Week 3 - 16st 1lb
Week 4 - 16st 2lbs

GAIN: 1 lb

So this week started off with 5 days off work. Lucky for me (and maybe not for her) one of the girls on my ward and halls was also off. We should have seen the chaos coming after we consumed 2 bottles of wine on our first night off. So fast forward to the Saturday night and we're out in Manchester, just the 2 of us, and having a cracking time! Lots of drinking, dancing and generally having a good laugh. Sunday was not a pretty picture and we ate nothing but rubbish all day. Hence the reason I'm quite happy with just a pound on.

This week didn't start much better, we had a wine/munchies night last night when I got in from work. My family are coming down tomorrow and we're eating out so that'll be another stuffed day. I move house on Monday so will hopefully get back to normality after that.

I also had a bad day in the midst of all that and my stress levels went through the roof.

I've come to a bit of a realisation this week as well. As much as I miss my family, making this move has done wonders for my confidence. I'm missing my support network but I'm also realising who my support network actually are. My nursing course and now this job have been like big clear outs of Facebook. I'm sad about some people, disappointed about others and telling the rest of them not to let the door hit them on their way out of my life. It's an easier life!

So if you can still see this post on facebook or twitter, likelihood is that you're not on any of those lists.

Plan for this week, family, move, work and enjoy it!!

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...
