    Here’s Casey! 5 and a half weeks now!
    Getting big haha
    If you’re wondering why she has leggings wrapped round her neck, all her bibs are in the wash, that was the best I could come up with hahaha

    She is adorable, I think she has more hair than my 2 year old granddaughter :) Hey whatever works for a bib!

    Lol she’s got more hair than my dad :lol:

    She’s got my partners hair, like exactly!

    You can do it Karen!! Remember how quickly it takes to eat that apple crisp -- that yummy taste will be gone in a matter of seconds. And then you will regret it. Not worth it --- keep up your good work!!

    @Bex953172 Casey is gorgeous! My oldest had hair like that - and I had terrible heartburn in the pregnancy so for me that old housewives tale was true.

    A very busy day today. Totally unintentionally over 20000 steps so I am shattered! But hit most of my goals so happy.

    Goals for Wednesday:
    - early workout ✅
    - 3ltr+ water :| only if you count coffee
    - Stay within calorie goal ✅
    - 12noon appt in the city ✅
    - Come home straight away and eat prepped food at home :) had lunch with my partner near his work as was nearby for my appt. Spontaneous but I made a sensible choice and enjoyed it.
    - 3pm hosp appt ✅
    - 6 more reports ✅ actually 9 more!
    - Early night :/ nope, but knocking out 3 extra reports and baking a cake as a thank you for a friend made the late night worth it :)

    Goals for Thursday-
    - early exercise
    - Water!
    - Stay in calorie goal
    - Do 6-8 more reports
    - Maybe lunchtime hot yoga
    - Early night!

    Night all x

    Scale progress & goals

    November: 183.6
    December: 176.6
    January: 174.6
    February: 173.6
    March: 179.6

    April 4: 179.6 - Well, at least it's heading in the right direction. Didn't get today's grading DONE but I made a significant dent in it. Hopefully tomorrow I can get the green folder done, the manila folder started, then go for my run, then do some outlining before lunch. After lunch... gosh, I just don't know how long to budget for suit shopping. UGH. And I'm working tomorrow night. I'm off Friday, but I've got the doctor's appointment and I'm not sure how long that will take.

    We do have online renewals available - my problem is that I lose track of what day it is and when I finally remember to check they're overdue ;p

    Yesterday's commitments:
    - Log everything I eat :)
    - Stick to food plan :| I had a couple of extra G&TS (bad day). However I resisted extra food even though I was very, very tempted!
    - 30 minute lunch break (plan what to do with it) :/ Previous meeting overran so didn't have time
    - Leave work by 5.30 :smile: 5.40 - again, I turned my laptop off at 5.30, just faffed around for ten mins. I need to take this into account when planning when to leave!

    Today's commitments:
    - Log everything I eat
    - Stick to food plan
    - No alcohol
    - 1 hour lunch break
    - Plan to-do actions for today/ weekend/ next week

    @Snowflake1968 I work in the research team for a public sector organisation. I have been effectively doing two jobs for two years because they won't hire enough people. I now have a direct report, but only because there are even more projects than there have been. And my stakeholders are ridiculously disorganised so every project is commissioned at the last minute and therefore is always a mad panic with ridiculous deadlines. I will probably leave this year :smile:

    Tracked Breakfast & snacks so far.

    Stronglifts tomorrow. Every week will get better. Embrace the discomfort.
    Meditate. 2x 15 mins each.
    Continue with decluttering. Set timer for 20 minutes.

    @OConnell5483 Wanted to let you know, I tried your Tiny Habits trick for one thing that I usually forget first thing in morning, and think I'm beginning a habit! Thanks for the tip. :smiley:

    It sounds like an interesting position. I 100% feel your pain about being understaffed and doing two jobs. I was doing that for my previous company up until August last year when I was let go, one reason being I couldn't keep up. Go figure. I hope when you find your next job you find a company that respects your time and understands that people have lives outside of work. Hopefully you get paid for the extra hours you always seem to be putting in.
