After my inspirational posts of a couple of weeks ago...I have a confession to make!
I'm not perfect!
So much so that over the last fortnight I gained 1.2 kilos...although my weigher actually recorded it as 1.4 - I double checked and she just added up wrong ;-( I don't like mistakes!!
Anyway, you will be glad to know that I haven't beaten myself up about it. I know where I've gone wrong - booze (I've just discovered the joy of port and chocolate), not tracking, eating a little bit too much of the wrong things AND I've forgotten to do my Think Slim mantras
But I've had fun and I'm getting fitter!!
I'll say it again, for me getting the head part right is the biggest battle! And the fact that I am fairly chilled about this gain is a sign that I'm starting to win that battle!
Workwise things are on a bit of a roller-coaster, my boss resigned yesterday and isn't coming back. My other boss is leaving in December and I have a feeling the rest don't know what to do with me...its complicated to explain. I'm trying to not spend too much energy gossiping (though I do love it) and put it into my job hunt. I'm putting vibes out there for a redundancy, for me that's the ideal scenario - a payout and I get to leave, I'd just do some temp work until I score that dream job in PR/Communications! Fingers crossed!
Hope all my blog friends are happy and healthy! I'll catch up on your blogs as soon as I get this uni work under control.
Love,
Andrea

Friday On My Mind
Well actually it's here already and I'm snuggled up on my ownsome and thought it would be a good time to reflect on my week and let you in on some future planning!
Health wise - a good week, just middle of the road good. I exercise 4 times, walking - 2 x 50 minutes walk, 1 x 20 minute walk and 1 x30 minute walk. I feel in the swing of that now and am planning to do a Yoga or Pilates class over the weekend. As for eating - ok, couple of days over points, nothing too major and I lost .2 kgs. I've really boosted my vegie intake, I just love wine too much!
Mindset - I've noticed a definite change in the way I'm thinking about food, particularly cravings. Every morning this week, I've craved (I use the term lightly) a big huge fat savoury muffin and on the way to work I argue with myself - but the side that says "you can't eat anything you don't know the points value for" wins, it also comes up with such pearls like "it could be 20 points and that almost all your points for the day", "how much walking will I have to do to walk it off", "the food I have with me will be much more filling", "you didn't say no to cake yesterday to ruin it all today"!!
Uni - got results back from 2 assignments I submitted before Easter and got 89/100 for one and 94.5/100 for the other - needless to say - I AM STOKED!!
Work - Good week, been given the ok to take on some more responsibility and work a bit more autonomously - to fill you in - I have been working in a newly created role for the last 6 months, there is stacks to learn and we've been waiting to see what shape it would take.
Love - my man is a gem, has cooked healthy dinners for me all week and told me he wants to take me on an overseas trip this year! Yippee!!
Future - we are looking at buying our own business, I'll keep working and Alex will run it! Looking at cafe/bakery type thing! Tres exciting!
All in all life is good and I am thankful and grateful to everyone who has influenced it!

Back to Work Blues
Well it's Monday night of a long weekend and I have a bad case of the back to work blues. I am thinking that it might be tiem for a change. I've been with the company for nearly 4 years but only in my current role for 5 months but not really enjoying it, I feel really micro-managed, not really challenged.
I had a really nice day with my family at the Sunshine Coast today and its made me think about this stuff even more.
I've almost finished a Communications Degree and think it might be a good idea to start putting it to use, but I don't know! I hesitate because I'm used to a certain salary and am keen to improve that fairly quickly. I'm also leaning towards government jobs for the benefits (paid mat leave etc).
When I look at it honestly, I'm too comfortable! And I'm scared! Scared of putting myself up for people to judge, scared of being told no, maybe I'm scared of being successful too?
