Saturday/Sunday/Monday/Tues

Saturday

Hi - so diet weigh in day - week 2.  Gain of 2lb! sucks ass!  We did order Chinese last night lol....however,  I didn't eat loads I have been good all week and exercising too...obviously not good enough.

I did a bit of research and I really need to do some weight training - which I hate, so I did a youTube weight training video today and then felt really sick!  I had something to eat and then went and got in the bath - had a little nap while in there!  

Sunday

I got up today and went into our gym and had a tidy up - we have power tools int here and mess!  So now it is all in a good order, and I have no excuse not to use it!  I did 35 minutes on BOXVR...

As I have such a serious lack of progress on my diet I have decided to cut out all alcohol other than red wine every now and again.  Red wine - because apparently that doesn't have the same effect as other alcohol which can.....actually - this is what I have read.....

almost all alcoholic beverages lead to weight gain. Red wine seems to have a somewhat protective role against weight gain

So - that's enough for me!  

I haven't got anything else to talk about atm - or more accurate - I can't be bothered....

Monday

Today I spent a lot of time working out a fitness plan with a lot of help from Lissa!  She did a little video clip for weight workouts for arms, and one for legs, and one for abs and back....it was cool because it was nice to see her lovely smiley face - and she sent a little clip of Antony with Ada - so it really was very helpful and totally lovely!!

So - I went into the gym and did the arms workout - which I really enjoyed! Followed by 30 minutes on the Peleton which nearly killed me!! God it was hard - I ended up rated about 8,500 out of 10,000 people that had done the same workout! ha! that is something to aim for!

I then had to go and have a look at the bath in the annex - our guests sent me a video of water running out on the floor! So I went in - and could not see anything obvious so i took the side of the bath off - and broke the tiles!! Plus the wood at the bottom has been soaking up water - it was a disaster really especially when I realised that the leak was actually coming from gaps that have formed in the sealant along the top of the bath - so I didn't even need to take the side of the bath off!!  So - I have had to leave the side of the bath off, and I had to dig out all of the sealant so that I could replace it.  Then I had to let our guests know that they couldn't use it for a while as it all needs to dry out - so I had to go and make sure our bathroom was nice and clean and invite them into our side to use the shower!  I don't mind them using it at all - I am more worried about the inconvenience to them!  I could not replace the silicone straight away either as I had to let it all dry out - so they will have to use our shower for a few days!

Anyway I felt like the day had been a bit more productive than usual!  and although it is stressful having problems in the annex - it was nice to be doing some DIY.  

Tuesday

Today I had to go into work - and have to do so for the rest of the week as I am doing a 4 day training thingy with the DIT team - used to be PIU at Surrey Police - but basically it is dealing with arrested people in custody, so involves interviewing and then dealing with the prisoner afterwards.  I expected on my frst day I wouldn't be thrown in at the deep end - but noooo.....ended up interviewing somebody for the first time in over 4 years!  I was a bit nervous - and the person I interviewed did a 'no response' interview - so didn't even say 'no comment' it is very off putting and makes it a lot more difficult because you ask a question - get silence back, ask another question - get silence - and you just end up firing loads of questions - talking to yourself basically!  So glad i got my first interview out of the way - and looking forward to doing it again and not making as many mistakes - like forgetting to state the time and the date, forgetting to write notes during the interview or write start time and end time down....luckily the guy training me is there to pick up and correct mistakes....

It felt great being back in custody again - brought back so many good memories! lol.  I did stand there and think - I can't believe I'm back doing this again!  I did think at one point I'd never be doing this again, and I did enjoy it!

Anyway - I got home - and got changed and went and did the silicone in the annex bathroom - going to have to sort out the whole bath panel at the weekend....that is going to involve buying new tiles, making a new panel, cutting tiles etc.......a lot of work!!  Sort of not thinking about it too much because I'm am rather worried about doing it in case it all goes wrong.....

I should be doing some exercise right now...although I don't have to do it everyday.....

hmmmmmm
