So - the UK is almost at twice the amount the government speculated about initially - they said we'd be lucky to have less than 20,000 deaths - and we were all shocked. The coronavirus is almost like old news now. We're all just bored of it. Apart from people losing relatives or suffering from it! Schools are re-opening - only certain classes, and the lock down is being lifted - slightly. In England, you can now meet outside in groups of up to six people from different households - for example in parks or private gardens - as long as you follow the guidance and remain 2m apart. However, scientists are advising the government against it. Public confidence is being lost in the government (apparently).
The death of George Floyd has dominated the news lately - a black guy killed by police in america - there was a video of it - the officer was kneeling on his neck and he was begging him to get off. The officer - adn now 3 others have been charged with murder and there are protests going on n loads of places including the UK - and they are breaking all the social distancing rules.
So - I started dieting again on - errr...I think it was Saturday so the fact that I am still dieting is a good sign lol. I have got pretty much annoyed with myself and I think I am in the right frame of mind to do this now....might be repeating myself - can't remember if I have already said this! Anyway to help myself along I have started doing some exercise in the form of boxing via the oculus - it is so much fun - and burns calories too! At the moment I am in so much pain with my arms shoulders and shoulder blades - my inner thighs too! So it must be doing me some good!
So - Saturday I weighed 176lb - which, I believe is 12 stone 8lb!!!! That would be fine if i was 7 foot tall but unfortunately I an 5 foot 3lb! So I'll do a weigh-in each Saturday. (I think so far I have lost 2.5lb) so it will be cool if it is more than that by Saturday!
We have cooked decent food since Saturday too - curries and other home made food...cant even remember what I've had....errr.....last night was chicken dopiazi and cumin mini-roast potatoes, the night before campfire stew (both from the Pinch of Nom book), we have had chicken with a hint of Thai, and errr other stuff. So it has been good to eat healthily - but I have been hungry lol.
I hope I can stick to this because I'd really really love to lose weight and feel better about myself and fit in my clothes etc.
So - Wednesday - did a training course via Skype to get designated powers at work - it was good actually - much prefer being at home for these things! I now have all the same powers as police other than arrest and stop and search. So I can apply for warrants, and search people and premises, use reasonable force (hopefully I'll never have to). It was supposed to be a day off too - so I can claim back a day - so I am going to claim it back on Sunday!
Loving being on a app with Lissa and about 30 other people - I get to see regular pics of baby Ada is really is so gorgeous! I feel a bit conscious commenting though because her Dad and Karen are on the app too and other ppl that might take me too seriously! But I can chat to lissa separately and still admire the baby pics!
