Day 88 – I did vomits at work!!!

I had a very busy morning at work and before I knew it was time for lunch. I decided to go home for lunch as I was craving sitting on my balcony in the lovely fresh air with the sun on my face.

As I only live such a short distance from work (all of a 3 minute drive) I got home and made myself a cup of soup for lunch and then I had a brain wave.

What was my brainwave? Well I decided that I would drive to my parent’s house, ask mum or dad to drive me back to work and then I would walk home after work. I prepared my tracksuit and sneakers in my backpack but I also decided that I would stick one of my 2-kilo hand weights on the bottom of my backpack. What a plan!!!

So in the process of throwing everything in my backpack and then jumping into my car to drive to my parents home I forgot to have lunch. I wasn’t that hungry so it didn’t really matter.

Dad drove me to work as planned and as I walked back into work my boss was off to the local Greasos and I put my hand up to his offer of “Anybody want food?” I was craving a potato cake (I think in Sydney you guys call them potato scallops???) and Andrew bought one back for me. I was salivating by this stage so I ate it a bit fast and my third bite into it I let out a “uuhhh, ohhhh” and calmly walked to the staff loo and let it all out. Ewww it was gross but what was grosser was I think I got a bit of back flush as it felt like some when up the back of my throat nasal passage. It was feral. It was a bit embarrassing that it happened at work and that a few staff members heard me retch but thems the breaks I guess.

At 5.00pm, I said my goodbyes to my work colleagues and I threw on my tracksuit and sneakers, put my backpack on my back and walked to my parent’s home which took 35 minutes and included walking up the highest hill. It was so painful. My thighs were burning and I was panting but I didn’t stop I refused to stop, this hill was not going to conquer me I was going to conquer the hill. I was almost ready to do a happy dance once I reached the top but there was no way I was going to stop walking.

I then called my dad when I was about 10 minutes away from my parent’s home and agreed to meet my dad and Elvis out the front of his house so we could continue walking. It was a brilliant idea. In total I ended up walking for one hour. I endeavor to do the same thing tomorrow night. I love nothing more than chatting with my dad and having a laugh with him. We got a bit of father-daughter time together which was nice.

I was asked last night via email from a reader what my NSV (non scale victory’s) have been. In response to your question F. I have to say that each and every day brings me a new NSV, no I'm serious! Each and every day I experience something that I couldn’t do in my past. Today I walked home from work with a heavy backpack, now that’s a NSV isn’t it? That’s gotta rock man.
