General update!

I've had two extremely lazy days :P I didn't have work yesterday or today, so I just turned into a slob, haha. Probably a good thing, because tomorrow I have to be up at 6.30am for a waitressing training induction that lasts 5 and a half hours or something, then I have to go straight from the office to pick up the kid I'm babysitting from school, bring him home, give him tea, and stay there until midnight when his mum comes home. I am going to be dead on my feet by the end of the day. 

I have also started thinking really seriously about eating a bit more, and raising my goal weight to 136 lbs. That was my study leave weight, and in hindsight I looked/felt okay there. As I'm 146 lbs this morning, that's only 10 lbs to lose, and I have ages to do it, so I'm just going to take my time :) It's gonna be 1200 calories per day, with exercise, until I get there. Then it will just be maintenance, which shouldn't be too hard. 

I also feel happier about the fact that I'm going back to being a vegetarian. Vegan is just too strict for me. I'm really glad I tried it, and maybe I'll return to it at some point when I'm in a better mind-frame, but it's not for me at this moment in time. Vegetarian is a lot easier. It means I don't have to fuss if a sandwich has a bit of mayo in it, or I get a salad with feta cheese. It just opens more doors for me, I guess, and isn't as restrictive. 

Kinda dreading tomorrow, but at least I get paid. And lots of running around and being on my feet will equal more calories burned...

  1. Sounds like a busy day is planned for tomorrow. If your work requires such wacky hours its probably better that you raise your intake too. Running after kids always takes energy. Best of luck tomorrow and for the rest of the week.
