Going down

Well after last weeks loss of 4lbs i have now lost another 2.75 lbs bringing my total loss during February so far to 6.75lbs.

I have really lost my appetite at the moment, sometimes I am really hungry but at other times of day I am not and feel nauseous (spelling?), last night I had a small smoothie whilst waiting for my dinner to cook and that was it I was full!

I visited my doctor again yesterday about the good ol sore throat, and my feeling exhausted all the time lately (also joint pain, stomach pain, headaches, dizziness, being a grumpy cow). I have pharyngitis again and have probably had/have a virus as well and a combination of the two is making me feel pants. Not fun although it does work well for the weight loss. I am off work for the moment and am really hoping this week of rest and smoothies and vit C and zinc will really help me to feel better. We are still, not sure what is going on with my throat, it is still being investigated. When I know I will let you guys know!

I am going to get lots of sleep and eat what I can that is nourishing and hope to have more energy soon.

I hope you guys are all well and not bored of listening to stories about my sore throat!

10 weeks and 5 days until the marathon!

What a Difference a Day Makes

Phew I am feeling so much better today. Much less stressed.

I did some voluntary work last night to do with nutrition and I really enjoyed it. I will definitely be helping out again each week that my work shifts permit it.

I have 3 more days of work before my next day off, I am looking forward to the day off but am also quite happy to go to work and get all my admin type things done too. It's really satisfying to tick things off my to do list.

I did manage to get my early night last night, think I was about 5 past 11 so slightly missed my target but much better than usual. I am going to aim to be in bed by 11 or quarter past tonight too. I do find tiredness really affects my mood causing me to be grumpy and irritable. I have been really hungry all day which I now realise could be related to the fact that I am still pretty tired. I think I should have taken a more substantial lunch with me to keep me going.

I am having a quiet night in tonight, then gym or outside run in the morning before working the late shift. It's an extra shift so more money yippee! (I am trying to save as much as I can here and there for the future when I buy a house, admittedly by the time I've paid tax it won't be very much money at all but it all adds up)
