What am I doing?

Lets review:
Running is going well, work is very busy but I'm learning stuff, diet was going fab yet since last week and the mega stress I just can't control my eating. I'm just eating without thought even when I know I am full I eat. Now I feel fat, full, frumpy and a tad sick. Why am I doing this? There is no reason! Last week I at least had a reason - I was stressed beyond belief (not that that is an excuse) yet this week is calmer (still busy though) and I am eating, I'm even buying food to eat whilst saying to myself ... WHY???
grrrrr

I am so relieved to know that someone else does do that too - it is really weird isn't it - you can stand outside yourself and watch yourself doing this stupid stuff.

I think I am better when I make a really conscious effort to keep well hydrated. I don't knOW whether it makes me feel full, or makes my brain work better or what. But definitely when I am sitting at my desk and drinking plenty I don't get the munchies. When I am in meetings and don't drink as much I come out and 'need' carbs and choc.

a cross post there AH - so maybe there is something in this water stuff!

Will have to be more methodical about it. I had not spotted a pattern til I started to reply to pix.

I put it down the time of year. Its dark and depressing outside, there is normally a lot of free food on the go as people bring in cakes and sweets. And of course the stress levels are reaching their annual peak.

As Aim High and Beanz have both said drink water, the thirst and hunger feelings are easily confused.

The Next Three Weeks

So I have a few busy weeks ahead that may, or may not, affect what happens here. So this weekend I am running the Chester metric marathon - should do about 3:30 and get a PB by around 30 mins if things go to plan. Next week I am on holiday and have the in-laws visiting which will be nice. Then after then I have 2 weeks of jury service in Derby. I really want to get a case as I am really interested in knowing what actually happens and what it's like in court. But knowing my luck I will have 2 weeks of waiting for nothing. I have Ami's zoom calls to review and take notes on, books to read, coloring/drawing to try my hand at and Loki to watch! After that the exciting news is my part time request has gone through so from 4th December I will be part time. Very exciting. Then hopefully I can start a potential path to being a swimming teacher. Fun days ahead

What Are You??

Apparently I am a geek after spending some time chatting to a first line support person and comparing degrees!! I am also apparently an executive as I earn more than a certain sum of money! This I must point out is executive in the eyes of a Midlands person and not a southern!! I think I am a runner and a mother because I run and have a son! I don't think I have a career and would struggle to define what I really do! Talking of which I may change the address for this site to blog.html or similar because if I do go job hunting I am not sure if my made ramblings should be front page news!! hehe!! I currently work in IT doing support with a hint of customer service at second line. I run and I'm trying to learn to draw! So what or who are you!?!

Planning Ahead

All good plans and all that! A few weeks ago I detailed my planned races as follows: Jan - Brass Monkey Half Feb - Trail Plus Training Camp Feb - Bramley 10m (poss) April - Reading Half April - FLM Support May - Moonwalk Marafun (if I get in!) Sept - Robinhood Half Oct - Great South Run (poss) This is now Jan - Brass Monkey Half Feb - Trail Plus Training Camp April - Reading Half April - FLM Support GSR is only a vague poss now as hubby is working nights so won't get home until the early hours of Saturday so I can't leave Gnome! Which means I would have to travel down Saturday afternoon which isn't the best preparation for a race and PB attempt! So it now looks like I will need to either make this another mainly training year (not a bad thing!) or look for some local races! At this rate it won't be worth joining club in March as I will have nothing to enter and save money off entry fees!! Hey Ho and all that!! Now tomorrow ... hope to do a quick shop 1st thing (new sca...
