It's so quiet

The office is such a quiet place to be: no stereos, no TV, no kids, no sisters talking flat out, no motorbikes being tested in the garage...

Still not happy about the shoes, though!

Weighed in with an 800 gram loss this morning - a modest return for a modest effort. I'm feeling more in focus this week - it's easier with the return to a daytime routine.

8 January summary
Breakfast: rolled oats, yoghurt and blueberries
Lunch: chicken salad
Dinner: more chicken, with coleslaw and some turkish bread
Snacks: punnet of strawberries, banana, 3 coffees, some green beans and a couple of crackers
Treats: 8 raw almonds, a candy cane
Exercise: 10 minutes exercise bike, 20 minutes upper body workout, 10 minutes treadmill (I'm hanging out to run on the treadmill instead of walking, but I'll be a good girl and wait till the end of January so I don't hurt my knee)

Hi Sue - Happy back to work day...my first week back was last week..it's funny how quickly we get used to things. I agree with the shoes - being a fashion victim myself I love the pointy shoes but they really wreak havoc on my little toes..hope the rest of the week goes well.lb.

Had to grin - I'm finding it really quiet here today as well. In fact I'm starting to think the phone is out of order. Going to enjoy it while it lasts.

It is easier to focus once back into a normal routine. Have a great day:)

WOW awesome effort Sue! 800g is a great loss and I agree with routine, it helps the focus.

I so know what you mean about shoes etc... I am dreading going back to work in Feb (after 16 weeks off work) and having to wear shoes/boots again! I just love slopping around in slip ons or barefeet or my slippers :)
Hope to catch up sometime soon... I am going to make that potato and corn salad for a friends BBQ on anniversary weekend so am really looking forward to that! :)

I'm so with you on the shoes - whoever said that pink jandals weren't acceptable office-wear???

Happy new year, great to see you still going hard and imparting wisdom and motivation to all and sundry :-)

I so agree with you on the shoes, thankfully my office is really casual, only have to dress up once a week when we go to see clients, so I can actually wear my fip flops to work if I want.

Well done on 800g, thats a great loss!!

Liking the new look around here too, purple is my fav colour, I find it loads heaps quicker on my PC too for some reason.

Have a great week :-)
