Coffee Snitch-really, it's coffee "other word that rhymes with snitch, but I can't write that cos I dont' want to curse in case my sister reads this"
So,
have had a couple of interesting days at work, we were being accredited to provide fertility services. My days were interesting because I was in a position I have rarely been in. As I am just training, have only been in this position for 3 weeks or thereabouts, I could not do anything much to help, so most of the time I felt like I was doing nothing but getting in everyone's way and being a nuisance. At least it was fuel for my workouts cos I felt so crappy after work that the only thing I felt would be any good was go to the gym and sweat. You know how when you work out really hard there's nothing at all in the world that can break through that barrier of pain you've created...I really craved that pain so I couldn't think. Well anyhow, we were assessed today, and everyone did brilliantly (except me, cos I didn't know what the hell was going on, therefore couldn't answer any questions). I'm really glad that's over and done with so things can get back to normal.
Confession time. I bought a product today on a whim, a spur. I'm not really seeing results in my workout i.e I may be getting fitter or think I'm getting fitter, but instead of losing any weight, I'm seeing really, really big flactuations in my weight. I put on about 4kg in the space of about 4 days, that's a kilo a day, I don't even know if anyone can actually eat that many calories. But it happened to me, and now I have to fix it. So I went out on a limb, and bought one of those fad weightloss supplements. I'm still toying with whether or not to take it, cos I just read some product reviews and some of the side effects are just not that glamorous. I know, sucked into the quick fix regime instead of doing it the honest way probably get's you in more trouble than not. I just want something to kickstart the weight drop so that I feel like all the work I'm doing at the gym is not going to waste cos I feel really demoralised at the moment.
Speaking of demoralisation, since I've changed jobs I have been unable to come to terms with the horrible coffee at the one decent outlet we've got close to work. So I decided to get a travellers mug so I could get coffee from my favourite place so as not to suffer with horrible coffee. PLUS, I am a soy coffee drinker (ya, tell me about it) so if a coffee is bad with soy milk in it, then you're in for a real treat...mmmmh (NOT). So, as it turns out, the place I get my coffee at doesn't carry travellers mugs, but guess who does...STARBUCKS!! Needless to say, I bought one of these wonderful inventions and took it promptly to Guru where all coffee beans wish to end up one day. You can imagine my feelings when the barista chick told me that she didn't think I should be drinking her coffee out of a mug that say's "starbucks" on it, when first of all, they don't have travellers mugs of their own and secondly, I am paying for the bloody coffee anyways, so she wasn't doing me any favours anyway!!!!!
My question is this, when is it that shop assistants, waitressess and all those people in the service industry draw the line? I don't think I want to go back there for some more lip. Spoiled my day. However, with those new supplements I was speaking about earlier, I can't drink coffee or tea anymore, so maybe problem solved. But talk about having some nerves!
Ok, that was my whinge for the day.

Wow, sounds like the coffee girl had a little too much espresso herself!
And weight loss supplements, I don't want to overstep my boundaries and say something where my opinion doesn't belong but I did want to say be careful and take them as prescribed for only a short period of time. I did weight loss pills for years when I was too young to think seriously about the effects and I think that they're a part of the reason my metabolism is so slow now. Again, I hope I'm not stepping on your toes, I just wanted to let you know about my own experience with them.
Just be safe! (And don't hate me if you read this and you're thinking, "ok, I didn't need your two cents, miss busybody!")
Oh, and the job thing! Boy have I been there! I've started a job before and been so excited because I got it only to be super depressed for the first few weeks because I feel like I'm more of a bother than a help! But it always gets better, and I'm sure you'll start to find your place in no time!
You can totally do this without those weight-loss pills. They'll just mess with your body. And a 4-kg gain in that period of time isn't you--that's just hormonal shifts--so don't let that motivate you to take those pills!
When you are working out, your weight will fluctuate more than if you are sedentary. You're gaining muscle, girl, which is a great thing.
Hey there stranger! I just saw the comment you left in Lynne's blog... I didn't know you were still around. How are you? Hope you are fine and all is well in your world! Have a great week!
