Jen's World

{Back to work already}

Wow, this Christmas holiday went quick for me, and I was back to work in a flash.  part from defrosting the windscreen for 10 minutes of my precious time, everything went well at work.

I then took the plunge and rejoined Slimming World!  My weight was a shock, but it had to happen at some point, I had to take stock of the situation and do something about it.  I feel better that it's done now, and I start tomorrow.  My "very healthy" lunch is already packed up in the fridge ready for tomorrow.  I wonder howlong I can continue to make it the night before?

I am not totally sad to see theend of this year tomorrow, it'snot been a totally bad year, but I wouldn't want to repeat it again.

I'm working New Year's Eve, and will have to drive to pick up my daughter from work at some ungodly hour, so no drinking or snacking if I'm following my new SW diet anyway, so it'll be a pretty boring evening watching the TV, or a board game of monopoly with the boys, their favourite Christmas present this year.

I shall record all my New Year Resolutions tomorrow, I am always up for a new start, and a change in my habits, so I do take the whole thing very seriously.

Oooops!

I guess no-one reads this anymore, but in case you do, I hope your Christmas Festivities went well. 

 I had a fab family Christmas with my sis and her family and my Pa over.  My niece and nephew are both so grown up now, in height and age! Monopoly and remote control tiny helicopters kept all the boys busy.  Sophie worked her poor tired feet off waitressing all over Christmas, and is only just recovering from a really terrible cold.  It really knocked her for six.  Both Justin and I are fighting it at the moment.  I am feeling quite unwell today!

I've had to take quite a break from my blog over the last few months.  Mainly time and a few other issues.  I've taken a real back seat with my Scrapbooking lately.  I resigned from Scrapagogo Design Team, I just couldn't keep up with doing so many designs to order and would much rather scrap for myself.  My camera was out of use for many months, and so both my blogging and scrapbooking was affected by that.

Another thing is I have felt very unhappy about myself generally over the last few months.  My health has deteriorated a bit, I have been walking with a walking stick now for some time, my weight has ballooned, and I just don't tackle the heaps of "stuff" that needs doing.  My latest was to send out no Christmas cards.  How sloppy!!

On a more optimistic level, I can do something about my weight and I am tackling that as a New Years Resolution, one thing I am pretty good at keeping.  I need to be more organised and get more stuff done, but this is hard as I am working much longer hours now.  I'm much happier at work than I have been for a long time, so that is a definite plus in my life.

I shall be back a lot more regularly, get some scrapping done, now I have  had a good rest, and at last get some photos taken.

I use Facebook regularly for anyone who reads this and really does want to talk to me more regularly.

Have a Happy New Year, but I will be back before then, I promise.
