Both Paul and myself are trying to stay positive this week because after the initial surge we don’t seem to be losing anything even though we are still being really good about what we eat. I weighed myself on Friday and had lost a pound but Paul had lost nothing. I’ve stayed the same since [...]
I’ve been on the nicotine patches now for 20 days and the good news is that they are really working. Day 20 and I’ve not been tempted once. Not a singe cigarette. Tomorrow will mark three whole weeks, and from that point on I know it’s going to get much much easier. There is one downside to [...]
This has been one very busy week. I’ve had a job interview for a job I didn’t get, so less said about that the better and I’ve also been preparing my UCCAS application for my Masters which I hope to start September. I got that completed last night past midnight. Things are never as straight [...]
