My Place

Yeah me!

Surprised at myself though because I am not the kinda person to be so organised for something, I'm the running about like a headless chicken the day before we fly kinda girl and that suits me in a strange sort of way though hubbie would disagree.

Have to go find my list of what I need for the hol just to make sure I am organised because everything has worked out a bit too easily for me.

Not a thing!

It's not like I've sat on my bum all day and done nothing but I really have nothing to show for a day's work, don't like days like this.

I know that it's not necessary to have a big pile of papers to show that I've actually gotten something done during the day in here, I don't need to prove what I do, but for personal satisfaction it's nice to see what I've done during the day as I'm packing up to leave at night.

Wonder if that makes me fussy because no-one else in the office seems to care about things like that.

I make it sound like I'm a really big girl but I'm not, well not really I'm roughly somewhere between a 16-18 depending on what clothes shop I'm in, I'm happy with my size and I know I'll never be skinny but that's ok.

The reason why I'm having to lose weight is for health reasons, especially for the health problems in my family that I may someday have if I remain the weight I am or get heavier. Since the nurse put me on a plan and is offering help and advice and monthly appointments I've lost over a stone, I don't look all that different to be honest apart from my shoes are a bit too big on me and my wedding ring is a bit loose on me but that's all I can see.

I've lost enough to please the nurse and to lessen my chances of inheriting my family's health problems so that's a good thing but I'm happy the way I am so if I don't lose anymore I won't be annoyed I'll just be me.

I've lost weight!! Not that much but she's pleased with my efforts and I've lost 2cm from my waist so that's better than the actual weight loss for me, but if it gets any smaller I'm not sure I'll be able to support my top half and it might just topple over someday!

Well that was the good news, the bad news is my blood pressure is still far too high. She'll be having a word with the doc this morning and she'll let me know what'll happen about it. They could either increase my blood pressure tablet dosage by quite a lot because I'm on a lowish dosage at the mo or else they could help me lose weight faster to see if that'll bring it down any.

I don't know which way I'd prefer as long as something is done about it because I can't go about having high blood pressure it's beginning to affect both my personal and work life and I'm beginning to feel a bit run down with it all.

It's times like these you need your Mummy to talk to but mine is in work so can't give her a call! Will just have to wait until her break I think if I can remember when that is.

Oh well at least I had some good news today so it's not been a bad day so far.
