Day 18: 21st June, Friday

21st June, Friday

Weather: Overall sunny, with some cloud and rain at times
Feeling: Overwhelmed

Hi guys, I know its been a few days since my last post but I've been feeling really unwell.  It was back to work for me today though, felt like I couldn't let my boss down as I've been away for over a week now because of my toes and I thought I should go back.  After managing to drop loads of things on my feet, I think they have now become numb to everything I drop on them.  Fingers crossed I don't make them worse.  I had the lunchtime shift at the shop and I also have to close up too, so going in for a couple of hours at 8:30 to close.  I don't think it's going to be hugely busy (I think I more hope than think its not going to be busy).  We'll see.  Anyway, I thought I'd do the blog today earlier than usual because I have work and will get back about 11:30 and a) I won't want to write a blog then, b) I'm still not feeling 100% so will just want to come home and go straight to bed, and c) I'll have to get up early tomorrow to go shopping with my mum (she likes to beat the queues so tries to get to the shop for about 8/8:30 am).

Anyway, today has been quite lazy.  I woke up at 8:30 and drove to Eastleigh (which is about 12 miles away from where I live) for my sister to pick up an application form and drop off a photocopy of her passport to a place I think she's going to be working.  I then came home, had breakfast and went into work at 11am.  Work was really quiet at lunch today, managed to get everything done (it was double delivery day today) and we even closed 10 minutes early.  I then came home, had some lunch (I'm pleased to say I didn't have chips for lunch, although I brought them home from the shop, I offered them to my sister who gladly accepted and I didn't eat one single chip!  Instead I had egg noodles with spring onion, mushrooms, tomatoes and a small salad.) and got on with clearing the house a bit, while watching secret eaters that my mum recorded for me.  I'm just about to go and have dinner and then it'll be off to work for me.

Losing Weight:

Breakfast: 1 slice of granary toast, with 1/4 tin of baked beans.

Lunch: Egg noodles, with spring onion, mushrooms, tomatoes and a side salad

Dinner: Jacket potato with 2 tbsp of pork mince chilli.

Overall I think I've done (will do) very well today.  My portion sizes have been smaller and I haven't wanted to snack as I've tried to occupy myself throughout the day.  I've also made myself drink lots of water (which wasn't difficult as it was very hot in the shop at lunch).

In keeping with number 13 on my summer list here is the picture of the day:

Anyway, I'd love to hear your thoughts on my blog, if there's anything you want me to write about, or if you just want to tell me what you think then leave me a comment or email me at the usual (sandra.spencelayh.92@gmail.com).  Thanks for all your support guys, it means so much to me.  Have fun!
