Positivity

Today is weigh in day. Despite not eating enough 'speedy' foods, I have high hopes. My Mum lost 3lb this week (despite the scales at home telling her that she had lost 1lb). Well, the scales at home told me this morning that I have lost 1lb, so I have my fingers tightly crossed for tonight!


I am very concerned about my friend. She is going through a very difficult time at the moment and I am doing my best to support her but I'm pretty sure it's not making a difference, which is understandable. I am going to make a concerted effort to spend more quality time with her, and helping her out so that she can get the most out of her studies. I don't want this diet to be all-consuming and have me focussing on myself too much. I care deeply about my friends and all I want is for them to be happy. I have been through so much with this particular friend. She has been ever-so selfless all through my studies (which took forever!), now it's my turn to show her how much she means to me.


I am going to go and play netball on Friday evening for some good 'Body Magic', after a very long day at work. That should be fun! I am also going to go shopping in town on Saturday, and then for a walk on the moors for some more 'Body Magic'. I am then going to go to the Harvester. I have been looking at the menu and can see a few options, which is really good. It's all about that salad bar for my Speedy foods!


Annoyingly, I received a letter from work yesterday, notifying me that I had been mapped on the 'Career Framework' as a Junior Legal Assistant. Firstly, I do not consider that this title properly reflects the complexity of the work I undertake. Secondly, they have stated that CILEx Level 6 qualified people would be entitled to be either a Legal Assistant or a Senior Legal Assistant. Well, I have passed the Bar Professional Training Course. That entitles me to become Level 6 qualified without taking any modules at all, just paying £600. Who why on earth have I been mapped at this low level? Furious doesn't even cover it. HR will be hearing from me today.


I am full of the joys of Autumn today. The leaves are the colour of fire, the air bites like ice and I am feeling healthy. I'm looking forward to shopping for some wet weather gear, to ensure that I can enjoy my walk to and from work all the way through the winter months ahead.
