The good news is...

Sam has got a job. He starts tomorrow :-)

The bad news is that I haven't :-(

Unfortunately I did not get the job I interviewed for on Thursday. Apparently I interviewed well, but the other candidates were stronger. I felt the interview had gone well, and I'd shortlisted from 45 candidates which I'm pleased with, but sadly it was not to be.

However, I'm remaining positive! I have another interview lined up for 19th January and I'm still applying for other positions so I'm sure something will come up.

Food wise, I've come in over my calorie allowance 5 out of the last 7 days. I've not gone over by huge amounts, and I'm still showing a loss on the scales, but I've decided to slow down my rate of loss to 1lb per week. This is much more manageable and stops me feeling like a bit of a failure. The important part is that I'm losing. That's the trend that I want to continue.

On the exercise front, I went to an aerobics class on Thursday night, my first for a while, demonstrated by my complete lack of co-ordination!

Today I took a drive up to Haresfield Beacon and had a short walk through the woods. I needed the fresh air and some time on my own to think. I think I chose the perfect spot...

It was certainly needed! I'm not my normal happy self at the moment, I yearn for some routine back in my life! I think back to last year when I was working and how I used to wish the days away until I had holiday, I never thought I'd be the girl itching to work! Funny how things change...
