I ain't got the time, and if my daddy thinks I'm fine...

The last time I made a post mentioning my weight it was the first time I'd bought a set of scales for years, and I weighed around 13 stone.  I had been going to the gym, but then not long after I bought the scales, the problems with bf started and I was going backwards & forwards between here in Edinburgh & my friends & mum & dad in Glasgow, that I didn't have time for the gym, and I actually haven't been for about 2 months I think :-/ BUT during my bf troubles, I was so sad and stressed that I was hardly eating, and now when I jump on the scales, I weigh 12 stone.  I know that the way I lost this weight wasn't the best way, but I can't say I'm not happy about it :) and since things have got better and I'm not feeling sick all the time any more, my stomach has shrunk so I'm not eating as much as before anyway!  Result all round I think.  I still haven't been back to the gym but I have taken up running.  People always seem to lose loads of weight running so I'm giving it a go.  I'm going running with a friend from work tomorrow.  Bit scared about that because I think she's a lot fitter than me but it'll be good to have some company :) eventually I'd like to go running every other day, and the days in between, do something at the gym.


It's payday on Friday and I cannot wait to go shopping to buy some new clothes for my new job :) I have made plans to meet my friend in Glasgow to go shopping, then we're going for a nice lunch, then we're heading to a friend's flat with a few others to get a holiday booked, woo-hoo :)


Speaking of my job...... I knew that I was getting a tiny pay-rise with it, but today I heard I might get a slightly bigger pay-rise, which would be amazing :) I am just waiting to hear if it will be agreed.  Fingers crossed! :)


It's another lovely day today and bf & I are off work :-D we are off to the cinema this afternoon after spending a lazy morning in bed.  We're going to see the new Ewan McGregor film, I can't remember what it's called!


This is another photo I took at Newhaven :)

Yeah you know that I'm not good...

I'm not even sure I want to write about what happened because I think it will hurt, and I am just meant to be trying to forget about it and move on, get over it.  I chose to stay with him so I have to make the effort to not bring it up all the time, right?


He didn't cheat on me, it wasn't that bad but it was cold, and horrible and I didn't think he was capable of it.  Anyway, really don't want to go on about it at the moment.


Can't believe Amy Winehouse is dead!  I know that she was a bit of a junkie and liked a drink, but I really loved her music and even though she kinda messed herself up I thought she was beautiful.  The only good thing is that the music channels are playing a lot of her videos which are great to see & hear.


Yesterday I started running. I found this Couch to 5K course to follow and I just did the first one yesterday.  It probably wasn't the best day to start as it was absolutely scorching but I just thought there was no time like the present and headed down to the park with my iPod & water bottle.  Afterwards I just lay on the grass in the sun for ages, listening to my iPod, it was bliss.  I aim to run every other day, and the days in between maybe go to the gym to do something else.  I didn't do that today but I will!


Absolutely cannot wait to start my new job.  I think it will help me in so many ways!  Still probably got about 3 weeks to go though.


Ah well, at least I know it's coming! 


Oh, and I took this lovely photo yesterday at Newhaven, after we had dinner at Prezzo :) xx

It's been a while!

Just skimmed over that last blog post.  I forgot I had even written about that.  Well after that things went downhill fast and we almost split up twice,  was bad times "dark times Harry" ha ha.  


We didn't split up in the end and I'm just trying to get back to normal now.  I'm finding it harder than him I think but I'll get there. *sigh* xxx
