Hey All,
Well my first weigh in showed ive lost 500grams. Which im quite happy with considering most people who dont weigh in for 2 weeks and go home normally put weight on! Im happy, its a loss not a gain so that's GOOD!
I sort of started a new job on Wednesday. By sort of i mean its not set in stone! Its with a child care centre up here. I had the interview on Tuesday and they asked if i could start a trial on Wed, which i did. They want me to do another couple of days to see if i like it. Which I DONT! but Ill stay there until i find somthing else. Its casual so its not every day! I dont think i could do it full time. Im the qualified Assistant and unfortunatly for me the Assistant gets all the crap jobs. Most centre's share responsiblity with cleaning and setting up activites and meals. BUT NO not here, Im in charge of all it. It may not sound like much but it means this, i rock up to work the kids are playing, i then have to pick up toys, clean tables. We go outside for 30 mins, come inside, i have to set the toys up. 40 mins later or so, i have to AGAIN clean up the toys and wash the tables, i then have to set the tables for lunch. 30 mins later i have to put the beds down, clean up after lunch (with 2 y/o's it is a MESS) then sweep, mop, clean the toilets. Go to lunch, come back, get the kids up, put beds away, set up for afternoon tea, clean up afternoon tea, kids go outside, come back in, AGAIN toys out, toys back. Then the kids go to another room, and i have to pick up all the tables and stack them up, stack up the chairs, roll up the rugs, move boxes of toys, sweep. ENOUGH..... its so hard on your back. Even if you were smaller than me it cant be goood for you back!
Plus i really dont want to work with that age group again. My headaches wont be able to take it! People dont understand, I worked with this age group, and it was fine UNTIL i worked with primary school kids, you cant go back to the childcare age once you've worked with primary aged... The director said she's had alot of people leave because of this reason. You get used to being able to talk to the kids with them understanding, not doing nappies anymore... So im going to keep looking and since its casual ill be able to still go to interviews. So keep your fingers crossed for me!
Astro is better. He has to be fed every 4 hours. He isnt being sick anymore. SO that is good!
Well i have Tonsillitis now too. SO my throat is very sore.
anyways til next week. Love peace and chicken grease

One response to “first weigh in, for 2 weeks.”
Hi Karen,
sorry to hear you're not feeling well. When I was your age I used to get tonsillitis a fair bit, especially after a stressful time. You have just had 2 very difficult weeks, so your body is probably reacting to this. Hopefully you will feel better soon.
You made me laugh with your job description. It's amazing how some people manage to get out of helping. Keep smiling, like you said it's only casual, so you can keep looking for another job, while you are working.
Glad to hear that Astro is a little better, but you will get tired having to feed him every 4 days. Just like having a newborn baby. Hopefully you won't have to do this for too long.
Keep up your positive attitude to your weight loss. You are going well.
Talk to you soon, Mary
