day 37

So tired. 5hrs sleep. Dropped off son and went to police station. Went to work and worked full day. Left slightly early, cooked dinner and picked up son. Walk with daughter. 

day 36

Up late as I was up until 1am something, chatted with staff and was too hot and irritable from not walking (waited for daughter who came home and went to bed). 

Weighed self: 

Going to start drink cinnamon with water see if that helps? One main meal is good so far.

Did a whole heap of transcribing. Found my laptop didn't save 20mins worth of work - that's about 3 hours of work. 

Went to mall with son. Got a unexpected text message! 

Started walk and went into work to help deescalate situation. 

day 35

I painted and made a lego robot. I waited for my daughter to come home to go for a walk, as planned. She went to her room and cloaed her door. I stayed up really late talking to coworkers. 

day 34

Work was insane. 

Santa photos.

Walked with daughter.

So many yawns.

day 33

Up really early. Got up and weighed self:

Finally seeing some weight came off.

Dropped son off at his job, worked a hard full day. But had mcdonalds and fudge. 

Home and painted. Argued with daughter about leaving me in the lurch. I explained that I miss having someone, the funeral reminded me how lonely I've been feeling. She made me tuna bake and hugged me. We are all good. 

Booked our santa photo for tomorrow night (my daughter booked it for tonight by accident). Went for a 40min walk, and topped up my steps by walking around the house. 

Going to bed to do some transcribing. Hoping to have lost some more weight by tomorrow.... doubt it with my pasta dinner. Good news is my left knee didn't hurt at all tonight! I did roll my left ankle, but I've done this so much that I just kept walking. 

day 32

Up early, cat wanted my attention, so I took video and sent it to my daughter. 

had shower and surprised I lost weight. 

 took son to work, surprised I was allowed to do my own smear.

Went to a funeral, which i got times wrong and arrived at 1145am with no food in my belly. I actually started at 1pm, arrival was 12.30. 

 

Left early and immediately had a phone call which was my initial interview for a Tron job. 

Went to supermarket (quiche and salads) and stationary shop. Bought a square canvas and a writing set. Then an armless homeless man asked me for food. Got him food. Called daughter who was short with me. Came home wrote a letter and painted 

Need to extend the wing feathers on bottom wing. Notice that it is on top of the tape! The stick-it notes are a space saver for the other fantail. I really like him so far. Then went for an extra long walk with James acaster in my ears. 

Might put my steps up again 

day 31

It was a crazy day of work. I handed in my notice. I got my steps. I prepared my 4 panel painting. 

day 30

Work. I think i handed in my resignation 

My cat is sitting on me so I probably won't be able to write for long. 

After work I went to the mall and checked proces of perfume.

I felt bad about writing yesterday. I took pictures of what I did. 

I got through to tsa. I applied for two other jobs in Hamilton. 

Saw my ex's car wasn't at work and then I got a message to say he had logged into the airport internet... so he's off somewhere.

I better go and finish my resignation, and my paper, and my paintings. 

So i walked around the house until I reached my steps. 

day 29

Did nothing. 

Didn't get steps.

Felt bad for putting on more weight. 

Painted for a while. 

day 28

Up with daughter and son to have breakfast before son went to work. Then markets x3. 

Saw a friend in the mall, went to see a friend with her baby. Got my steps by 1pm. 

Home for a while then picked up son from work and went to barrington for more canvases, paint and lego. 

Out for dinner and a movie wifh daughter. 

Home to the full moon. 

day 27

It start sore but good. My knee is in pain, however I think it's one of those things that I get acutely aware of and can't take my mind away from. 

I did a 15minute Betterme workout and weighed myself halfway.... wishful thinking. I don't get how I've managed to put on weight? I walk more than ever before, and now I'm working out, also I watch when I eat. 

I painted last night and took the photo today. I decided to change it up a bit and draw in the outlines and then detail the fantails. I don't know how it will turn out, but it's pretty exciting. 

I'm on the bus to work. I feel so sluggish. I left my keys at home for my son to practice driving with my mum, thus the bus. 

Work was crazy. I got some Christmas presents.

and some new shoes for me.

of course from op shops. Ran into a old friends daughter! That was amazing. 

Got home and went for a walk with my son to get burgers and got my steps. I'm off to bed early i think. 

day 26

Woke up and took son to his work. 

Got to work and it was non stop. Didn't go to bootcamp. My knee winged 4 times.

Went to pick up son and bought donburi for dinner. Started watching James Acaster comedy skits while I waited. 

Did some painting and then went for a walk with my daughter. Knee winged like 8 times. 

In bed. 

day 25

Up early and did a better me workout. This is me upping my game. Next i will join a gym. Dropped off son to his work and went to mine. 

So busy. Just me, so I begged for help. I don't like begging. 

Got crafty at work. Went to sst and saw old friends/colleagues. Found out one of my friends passed away. Got many hugs. 

Left work late due to notes, but just in time to pick up son. 

Did some planning for my painting 

then went for a walk and chatted with two friends, one in Hamilton and one in Nelson. Tried to meet daughter as she finished work but missed out by 10minutes however I got my steps. 

I'm going to up it again but really slowly as my knee is not getting better. 

day 24

Work wasn't tough. I was working alone. 

I took the tape off the painting this morning before work. 

I left work a little early to go to meet my daughter. 

Alice's 

Tiramisu 

Work got me enough steps

Home and painted and played tekken with both kids 

day 23

With a car in ger less steps. I get over 2000 less. 

Work and now I'm oncall.

My right knee still is off, like an air pocket wants to escape. 

I got a quiche on the way home, cooked it and ate it in the dark and realised it had meat in it. 😠 😡 😤 

Played tekken and painted some more. Then realised my steps were shocking.... went for a walk. 

Home at the same time as daughter and finished my steps. 

Got better me last night. Thinking I will start it in the morning.
