Emily Rose: The Reboot

Thank you Cate.

Yeah LaMa, it was a great release of tension.

Today was better. There was a moment of potential disaster at work but I tried not to let it bother me and it should be sorted out tomorrow. Not. worth. it. I don't know what my boss was thinking happened, but my colleague seems to think my meeting with her went well from what she said. Haha. There is going to be a slight adjustment to my wages based on a bonus structure, so maybe it will be more lucrative than I thought. Who knows?

Anyhoo, didn't eat any sugar today, but had quite the vegetarian feast for dinner - a vegetable tartlet and spicy roasted sweet potato and mixed veg. I am very full after it. Tartlets are wonderful.

The first week back has flown by, I might go home tomorrow night, I'll see how I feel. I'm feeling pretty tired tonight, I haven't been able to switch off very fast the last few nights but I have a feeling tonight will be a different story.

I did a pilates class tonight, I will probably go to yoga tomorrow evening. This exercise train is keeping a-tootin'.

Not my circus, not my monkeys.
 
Precisely LaMa.

Lol Cate.

It's late so I'm not going to say too much but I had a great day in work today. A moral victory was won and I think it's going to be so much easier and better from here on out. Maybe it's something similar to what you went through in your workplace LaMa. Speaking up is difficult but so often worth it. Anyway, I feel at peace with it all now and I'm going to enjoy my time there for however long it lasts.

I had my bath tonight, no wine, just a read of a chapter of my book (David Copperfield, so good) and then off to the Land of Nod. Night night.
 
I'm glad you had a good day Em. Well done on the "no wine". You & I will both wake up tomorrow feeling that much better. Sweet dreams xo
 
Thank you Cate.

I did a killer workout this morning in the gym, going for the same thing tomorrow. My stomach has been a bit funny since, which is interesting, because I just haven't felt like eating at all. Maybe it's just a Saturday thing.

I bought a really cool Rob Ryan 2018 calendar today, I love it. I have no idea who he is, but I'm loving the aesthetics.

I actually don't have a lot to say, I'm going to leave it at that. Actually, the spin class instructor put together a 1998 playlist today for the class, which I thought was a really cool idea. One of my top songs from 1998 is...


The coolest.
 
Well done on the workout! I don´t think I even knew that song, by the way, thanks for sharing.
 
Thanks guys. Yeah, Lauryn Hill is so talented.

I had a very quiet day today, didn't really go anywhere, just more or less read my book for the day and made some soup. I also ate some cakes that made my stomach really queasy which is a great sign. My body doesn't want cake anymore! Yay. My food was more or less spot on other than that though. The most important thing for me is to not get into binge cycles again.

I'm also really glad I threw out the weighing scales. Such a distraction. If I keep doing what I'm doing, I will see changes, just maybe not anything dramatic for a while. I went for a run today and I had this feeling that my legs were two solid oak trees supporting me. It was nice to think good things about my body for a change!

Anyway, have my lunch prepped for tomorrow, going to read a bit more and get to bed for around 10.

This is such good news Em. I think of my legs as being 2 solid oak trees are. They are the part of my body that I like the least. I am now grateful that they are strong & support me well. I wouldn't like to have sticks for legs. Go us. I ran yesterday too. What book are you reading?
 
Exactly LaMa, I don't want to get into a really bad mode with food ever again.

Ooh, well done on the running Cate. I am reading David Copperfield. I think I've avoided reading it up to this point because it's so long, but now I'm delighted that it's long because I'm enjoying it so much. It has had me laughing and crying already.

Things in work today took a bananas turn. I think my relationship with my boss has taken a massive turn for the positive, it's really great. Very busy day overall.

I also got a flat tyre today but it couldn't be easier to get it fixed, so it's not such an ordeal as you might expect. And I have a lot more cash this month to fix it, so it's all fine.

Zen zen zen. :)

I went to Swiss ball Pilates tonight, I tried not to laugh during some of it. When you can't see what the instructor is doing because of the giant ball in your face... :D The jokes write themselves at this point.

In pretty good form, had a whole packet of Jaffa cakes and too much coffee today, but my main meals were very healthy. Getting there so slowly but surely. I need to remind myself that my day is fine without sugar, I just get tired in the evening and crave it.

I have a black tie event coming up in less than a month, have to keep that in mind when I consider buying any more rubbish in the shop.
 
Yeah, it was pretty good Cate.

No dress yet LaMa, will wait another few weeks for that inevitable ordeal.

Not a bad day today overall, had a laugh with the girls in work, went to a pilates class, all good really. My stomach is acting up tonight - I think when I eat a lot of salads or more protein, it just doesn't like it. I think it's something to do with having a mostly alkaline stomach? Anyway, whatever it is, I didn't feel like dinner, but at the same time, I don't like skipping meals. Anyway, I'm not hungry at all, just uncomfortable really. Generally, a good bowl of porridge in the morning sorts it out.

Not much else to report, I'm in bed super early, might just read for a while and get some beauty sleep. Back tomorrow.
 
Too many leafy green veggies don´t work for my stomach because of the oxalic acid. I´d be surprised if it were the ph; our bodies are usually pretty good at protecting homeostasis.
 
Yeah, I don't know what the issue is but I still have it today. And it's making me tired! I feel like going to bed now but I'm just not going to eat any more and go to my yoga class as planned. I have a family dinner tomorrow night so I hope it's settled by then.
 
Thanks guys.

So tired now. Felt like vomiting this morning after my workout, definitely think I've picked up a bit of a bug. Managed the dinner fine but feeling a bit too full going to bed. Going to have a very light eating day tomorrow and hopefully it will clear it. Good day overall though!
