SO MUCH CAN HAPPEN IN 6 SHORT MONTHS

It's just over 6 months since I reinvented myself and went back to work after 4 years as a full time carer at home. When I finally got my job I needed to prove not only to myself but to all those around me that it was worth the risk of hiring an 'old gal' like me.

Well so far it has been one of the most worth while things I have done. I love working, love the busy environment of a medical and dental practice and feel wholeheartedly that I make a solid and positive difference to our patients overall health care. The people I work with are great, supportive and friendly, I really could not have wished for a better place to re boot my working life.

On the down side my weight back in April when I started was about 85 klg now back to 89. OMG how did that happen.....well, I do spend a lot of my day sitting at the front desk on the phone, on the computer and yes that does tend to make one HUNGRY I'm sure you'll agree.

I also had a 3 week sojourn to the UK and Europe back in September and living the good life eating at restaurants and pubs every day did me no good either. Worst thing was I had a heavy fall on my first day in London hurting my right knee and my back and although I did carry on regardless did not push too hard in the exercise department.


Anyway I made the most of the trip and enjoyed it all to the max. Loved seeing London again after 28 years and especially loved having all my family there to enjoy it too.

Paris was fun, again only a moderate amount of exercise and LOTS of delicious food, wine and treats.






Once home again I had more problems with my back after the horrendously long flight and also copped a nasty bronchitis. So that led to almost no exercise except walking to the car, to the office and back home again.

89 Kilos blahh I am not happy and wonder if I'll ever feel good again. Being unwell and out of action has made me realize how important good health is.
I am now on a mission to get rid of some kilos and generally feel better...SO, I am toying with Dukan and low carb ways to achieve my objectives.
I'm in the first few days and have been going OK although it's (the weight) is not falling off me but something has to happen soon as I have not touched the love of my life BREAD for what seems such a long time.
