Work, Mr Mum, Pantene, and the unexpected aphrodisiac!!

Well survived my first day back at work post banding. After 10 mins, I felt like I had never been away...the bitching, moaning, and whinging had started......I often wonder ....am I really working with a bunch of 25-60 yr old women, or a bunch of year 8 school girls????? Believe me...they act like the later!!
Anyway, lucky the ward was busy, and they didn't get time for any further moaning/whinging for the morning!!

As I predicted, my eating was much more controlled today whilst I was at work. Optifast shake for morning tea, (didn't have time for breaky this am), salmon and tomato toasted sandwich for lunch,
and half a banana about 3pm.
Couldn't eat all of my roast chicken dinner that my hubby cooked tonight...so thats a good thing hey??
Did I mention that he has taken time off work to be Mr Mum during the school hols...so our kids don't have to be orphans for the hols!! ....He was actually supposed to be going to Sydney for a rugby boys trip, but used his savings to pay for my lap band op....yep...he's pretty bloody awesome....but don't worry he's not one of those sickly too good to be true guys...he definitely has bad qualities...I'm sure you will hear about these as my blog progresses.....but today, I'm lovin him silly cause I came home from work, and he had dinner organised...and the floors vacuumed (think that had something to with me telling him that us women find men with a vacuum an amazing aphrodisiac) ;)

Anyway...all up..it was a pretty good day...

Oh, by the way, lots of people at work looked me up and down (to check out my weight loss...I'm guessing) but only 1 person told me that I look great, and that she could really notice my weight loss....I then started wondering...did she just say that cause she knows I've had the band, and she felt obligated???? Anway, I'm feeling great...cause I can notice my uniforms feeling looser!! It may not happen over-night, but it will happen!

Good night my gorgeous fellow bloggers,
Thanks to all 3 of my followers....even though there may not be many of you...i love your comments, feedback, and support!
Sorry this post is a little all over the place...you might need to get used to it...its how my mind moves...x

  6. Thank you so much for your lovely comment and for watching my blog. Its nice to know out there your not alone with your thoughts and you have people to confine in who understand.
    I always thought no one understood but im now realising a lot of people do.
    Heres hoping new exciting things happen for me to allow myself to love myself as well as you!
    Its the hardest goal in life is to love yourself... i certainly find it an incredible challenge to overcome and im not one to not try.

    We can do it!
