Tired and it rained.

It was pouring with rain this morning so I had to be careful on the pavement. With all the leaves on the ground it can become slippery. Got in to work. I think on time or before not sure. Did work. Colleague suggested I went on holiday for two weeks soon. I am tired that granted. I do feel drained at times but there is so much going on. I need to plan better. Well not plan, prepare first then plan. She reckons a full break away from everything. So I can slow down. That is what I need. I'm constantly on the go.

Work, work and more work. I need some sun and a change of scenery otherwise it's just duggery.
Not sure when but need to think about it. Even if just a weekend break as a trophy break. I need to think about it or look. I don't mind going to the Costa Dara. This is are some pictures from when I went to Benidorm about four years ago.

This the hotels and resorts on the beach.

From a lookout point on the beach.

The view from my hotel room. It was okayish.

So maybe something like this. I'm taking off Christmas but something sooner. Just to slow down. The thing is after work I'm writing as well so there is no real down time.

Lunch was boring so I had a bagel with ham and tomatoes. However it was another colleague's birthday and she bought a chocolate cake to share. That threw the obesity drive out of the window and I had a few pieces to eat.

Came home. Tube was packed. The DLR was on strike. Got home okay, had a chat with family for a while. Had a brillant critique and edit from my critique pal. She is amazing and so supportive. She is the business.

I have a few work related stuff I need to do. Oh well. Nothing more to say. I've said it all I guess. Now to look for weekend breaks or mini breaks or holidays. I'm yawning now so off to bed.

Up Date on Happenings: Newly Single & 17% pay raise.

Hey Everyone, So update since my last entry. Well I had a brief fling with Mr Sexy Guy and decided he wasn't the one for me. He was cool but I learned the difference between lust, chemistry and personality. It just didn't tango for me. I'm still grossly overweight, well, fat. I don't think there is anything wrong with being called fat. I am fat. I need to lose weight but that means getting organised and stop eating delicious food. Then again my knees are hurting me and joints feel the ache. I also haven't been to the gym in three months despite paying for it. But when I do, I normally go for the sauna, hot tub and steam room session. I've thought of cancelling the exorbitant membership but in the climate apart from bills it's the one thing that is just for me...that when I use it. Work is fine, managed to get a 17% pay raise. A big thanks to my boss who also pushed for it. It's good to work for people who support you in that matter. I think tha...

Goals - one thing at a time - weekly or less frequent blog. Yoga was HARD! Still on track with eating plan,

Despites all my good words, I am slipping back into old bad habits and overloading myself with things to do. Distractions. Everything is important. So I've decided to get tough with myself and focus on my major goal. The one that will be most beneficial to me and a causality of that will be writing this blog daily or near daily. So I'm going to be focusing on my major goal and push myself to focus and I think all the other activities, and I mean a lot are diluting from the process. This means getting rid of non-value adding activities. Oh dear, I sound rather corporate. My week so far. If Pilate nearly killed me, then in Yoga was the firing line. OMG! What is it with these gym classes being so dynamic! When I mean dynamic I mean break-into-a-sweat dynamic. I'd never hadn't had such a difficult class - obviously I was the largest. Okay - let's go fat-shaming- don't you just love that word? I was the fattest by a long stretch. And the unfittest. My body was ou...

HAPPY NEW YEAR - LET THE GOALS ROLL

Hello all. Happy New Year! So last year was awesome for me because I managed to achieve one goal. The biggest goal which was to get a new job. And that came with financial reward as well. Yay! It was hard, challenging, horrible. I hate change but I had to get out of the rut I was in. Dudes, I was desperate to move. So I dug deep, did my interview practice, attended a number of interviews and hit one. Yay. Now longer gaming. I didn't need the escapism with my new positive work environment. I also abandoned the iPhone family and went Android. To cut a long story short, I got bought an iPhone 8 but it was faulty - however Apple weren't transparent about their return policy - ALWAYS ASK ABOUT RETURN POLICY. Nor did they believe the phone was faulty. It was. Anyway I was so disgusted the arrogance of the 'apple people', I decided instead of getting a replacement to spend my money elsewhere. I'm still part of the Apple family. But the Apple Store sales assist...
