Lately

So, I am a bit slack at writing on here, although the last few weeks have been pretty busy.

Work is still amazing, unfortunately (perhaps not) one of my team resigned, leaving just me and my boss to work the obscene amount of jobs we have on. I therefore got an instant promotion... I am now a consultant! woohoo! Yesterday I got my first jobs to work on my own, and got seven at once from a client. I have sent through the CV's and any placements that I make will be mine, bring on the fees! And my boss has only had good things to say to me, so all good so far.

On the exercise front, I joined the gym. Its bloody expensive, and will require a lot of work, but I think I can do it. I can go in the morning before work, or at lunch time, and still have plenty of time to be social and enjoy life.

I have been to two classes this week (only joined on Wednesday) so am feeling quite happy. I can't walk today after a body pump class, but hey - them's the breaks!

As for how I am feeling, I'm quite positive at the moment.

PS - Will and Grace is the most pathetic program on tv - EVER!

I'm off to watch the rugby this afternoon, and with the extra work that I have been doing (extra job at the cricket) I should have some more cash to spend too. So a full day counting cash at the cricket tomorrow, this weekend will be a quiet one, time to focus on all the other things in life.

This is a bit of a mixed up post... will write when I am feeling a bit more 'literate'

This is harder than I thought.

True to form, I have come up with every possible excuse in the book to not reach my goals this week. Maybe I was a little exuberant with my choices, but at least I have done more this week than previously, and I need to remind myself that this might take time!

Instead of the six hours of walking, I worked late, socialised and played poker instead of doing all the things I should have.

On the plus side, the guilt made me get up on wednesday morning and go for a 45 minute walk before work, and although I felt tired the rest of the day I felt better for it. Last night, although I went out and saw friends, I kept it tidy, was home by 1am, and had the energy to get up this morning and walk for an hour and a half.

Work is proving to be the most inspirational thing for me at the moment. I can't help but grinning like a cheshire cat when people ask how my job is going, because I feel like I have landed in the proverbial butter. Last night at work drinks, I spoke to a lot of people, all of whom wanted to know how my first couple of weeks had been going and how I was enjoying it. I commented plenty of times how well it was going and how nice everyone is, and was assured that this is something that everyone has been through, and to enjoy it because this feeling of 'being in the right place, with the right people' will never leave me.

I have been on two training sessions already, had a review, and feel like my manager is very happy with me. I am trying very hard to give it my all, and learn as much as possible so that I can advance my career as quickly as possible.

All in all, a pretty good week though, and I am just going to have to 'toughen up buttercup' and get back on the horse of wellbeing and exercise, keeping in mind all the goals I want to achieve.

Right, so am off to the rugby now, one or two drinks in the sunshine, and new friends who will hopefully become a much needed social circle.

Have a great weekend!
