I LOVE THE GYM!!!

Well today was my first proper day back at the gym and I had forgotten how much I love the high you get after exercise! 

After the disaster of last Friday when I almost passed out, I ended up at the doctors on Monday morning. I'd managed to pick up a lovely wee infection which was affecting my stomach and lungs. The doctor thinks my panicking about not being able to breath was causing my BP to go through the roof. When he did it, it was slightly high but I couldn't breath properly but no where near as high as it was on Friday. However I'm on day 3 of 5 of some steroids and am feeling so much better. 

It was my programme that I got in the gym this morning and the trainer guy is determined to break me. I stupidly said that I wanted to do those pull up things and I think he's dead set on making me do it within the 4 weeks lol. 

I also did a metafit class and went for a swim. Metafit is an amazing class! I haven't worked that hard since I did CPT and even then I got more time to recover because I was in group 1. It's a short class (30 mins but you only actually work for 17 mins). It's repetitive sets of high intensity exercises with a short 20 sec break in between each. It's the shortest 20 secs ever!!! I'm booked again to go on Monday am and I can't wait. My gym instructor was the one who took the class. He's a lovely guy 1on1 but as soon as he gets in front of a class he starts the shouting malarky. I'm fairly sure he didn't expect me to answer him back...... I didn't say anything bad and I didn't swear. It was something along the lines of 'aye in your dreams doll' I do remember saying doll, I was knackered! 

My swim afterwards wasn't as good as I had intended but in my defence, I could hardly move my arms after the gym then that class. I managed 10 lengths. I need my mate Kalie who is a swimming teacher to show me how to do that turning thing at the end of a length. I always miss the wall and leave myself short lol. I tried it twice today, first time I missed the wall by miles and the second time I crashed into the wall. Thankfully the pool was relatively quiet :-)

So the plan for the rest of the week has changed a bit.

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...
