Subject: Oh dear!

woke up this morning convinced it was a Friday, duh! I hate that

We've started getting communications from other uni's regarding the job situation, not offering jobs but suggesting maybe going for informal chats etc, trouble is they are all a long way from home, apparently the powers that be here are doing their best for us so I don't want to appear ungrateful and will probably go visit one or two of them and see what I think

Enjoyed all your answers to the poll by the way, it was a little long but that was my fault, the sensible questions I found online but all the silly personal ones were mine which just kept popping into my head once I got going :-)

Got to go now, fruity smoothie and scrambled eggs with crispy bacon bits on toast beckons, see ya folks!

Breakfast poll! I had müsli, yoghurt, fruit and nuts.

I liked the silly personal questions. :)

It sounds a bit promising though, no? I know it's hard to pick up and move on but weren't you considering moving away anyhow?

Happy Thursday everyone!

and very tasty it was too!

I suppose it does sound promising but none of us are getting our hopes up to be honest, I think our bosses are just trying to show us that they are trying their best but if positions don't come up then I won't be hanging on to "wait and see", I'll be looking elsewhere

i'm starvin' marvin...

worth a look around i think...it's not like you're locking yourself in...

still managing to lose weight or have you started to slow down?

I'll certainly be looking around some of the uni's just out of curiosity, expenses will be paid for us so it would be cutting my nose to spite my face if I didn't, should be interesting even if nothing comes of it

[> [> [> slowed down... -- gretch, 14:21:37 03/12/09 Thu [1] (129.137.194.74)

i've been exhausted and unmotivated.

i apparently also have a nodule or something on my thyroid. found out yesterday. *shrugs* so...i prolly have hypothyroidsomethingsomething...or ya know...cancer. fingers crossed it's the first one.

it would explain my exhaustion and trouble losin' weight the last few months. if it's just a matter of hormones being jacked up...i can take a pill and it'll fix itself in a coupla months. again...fingers crossed.

it certainly sounds as though your thyroid problem is slowing down your weight loss though, hopefully the treatment they come up with will sort it out and you'll start losing regularly again, how much have you lost so far?

[> [> [> [> [> 89 -- gretch, 14:48:33 03/12/09 Thu [1] (129.137.194.74)

not bad. lots to go though.

i have all the symptoms...i'm sure my thyroid just isn't producing enough hormones.

you must feel much better for losing all that weight, how much would you like to lose altogether or haven't you set yourself a goal yet?

[> [> [> [> [> [> [> welp. -- gretch, 15:09:38 03/12/09 Thu [1] (129.137.194.74)

i *think* i set a realistic goal.

i'd like to lose 93 more. it's amazing i'm that overweight and boggles the mind. even the docs are surprised when i'm on the scale. i guess it's great i can carry it well...but i'd rather not carry it at all!

then it won't seem so bad, I only say that because one of our Politics lecturers was very overweight and that was the only way he could handle it, he preferred not to think about how much he needed to lose altogether and just be happy and pleased with himself each time he lost the 10, it seemed to work for him doing it that way and he allowed himself a little treat each time which he looked forward to, that gave him the incentive to carry on.

I'll keep giving you a push!

That's nearly 6.5 stone. You must feel a hell of a lot better, thyroid problem or not. I wonder how long you've had the thyroid problem for, and whether that contributed to you putting the weight on in the first place?

yeah...that's what the doc is thinking. cuz in truth...i don't live a terribly bad lifestyle and i'm always busy busy. my metabolism has been horrific though and the scales been creeping up since my pregnancy with jude.

we'll see!
