OK I cant believe that I have allowed myself to get to this point. I weighed in yesterday morning and 95kg flashed up on the screen of my uncooperative and nasty scales. My lack of time on the treadmill and my latest obsession with chocolate covered bullets is certainly not helping the cause at all. I am an emotional eater - no specific emotion triggers it as I am not biased. They all make me eat. So, with my 34th birthday on Tuesday I have made the decision to make myself a priority. Everyone else always comes first but not anymore. All I want is the 30 minutes a day to exercise and get down to a decent weight. I need to loose at least 20kgs.
I quit the job I was in as I was being asked to do things that I was not comfortable with. It involved a $20 millon dollar budget, a conflict of interest and serious reprecussions for anyone involved. I was not prepared to compromise my integrity and set the CEO up for an arse kicking for someone ele's benefit. I handed in my resignation and spent a good few hours with the CEO begging him not to sign off on the budget as there are too many inconsistensies that I cant explain and that the project manager is not forthcoming with. They were very upset to be loosing me and the CEO asked if there was an Executive Assistant available would I go back and I said yes. The best thing is that I am already ensconsed in another job wth the Bureau of Statistics and hope that this works out. There is no shortage of work in Canberra for a good EA so I had a heap of offers before making my decision.
The other great news is that we have bought a house. Yep we are loving canberra so much that we decided to start looking for a house to buy. That same week the one across the road went up for sale and we decided to go and have a looksee. Its 3 bedroom 2 bathroom upstairs with a 2 bedroom unit downstairs for any vistors. Its a home that we plan on staying in for quite a few years to come. It settles on March 31st and the only thing that needs to be done is new carpet. We have organised for this to be done the day after settlement. I will add some photos of the house in the coming weeks.
Hope your all well
