Devastated & Ecstatic

Last night at slimming world, I put on 2.5lb. Other than having difficulty going to the toilet (apologies for the over share), I have no idea why this happened. It has made me so determined to get a good loss this week.

I went back to Holly's and ate everything I fancied. I had soft cheese with salt and pepper crackers, lamb and mint burgers in pitta bread with tzatziki and even ben and jerry's cookie dough icecream. I bought Soreen too, but I didn't eat it. Turns out that my eyes were bigger than my belly. I felt very fat and I felt no guilt what so ever. It felt great to have that blow out with my friend as we both put on and felt like we needed it. Hopefully now we can sort ourselves out. Today is a new day and I intend to have a darn good loss this week.

In other news, I had a court hearing today. A big one. I won. You know those days where you realise that all of the effort you have put into your career, everything you have given up for it and every time you have worried about it so much that you have failed to get a wink of sleep, was entirely worth it? Those days where everything just clicks and you think- yes- this is the career for me. Today was that day. I absolutely relish the advocacy and I cannot wait to do more of it. The win is like a drug and I feel high.


I also had to wear a smart suit for this. I haven't worn this particular suit since uni, when it was very tight. I put it on this morning and could tell straight away that it fits so much better. That in itself spurs me on.

I intend to post frequently this week to keep me on track.
