This week has been a complete write off - was doing ok on Monday (after the Chinese binge with the mother-in-law on Sunday) but then disaster struck - London was finally hit with the snow, Tuesday I managed to track ok and was within my points (woop!) but had trouble getting home on the train due to the ongoing snow falling, by Wednesday morning we had about 6cm in southeast London and this caused the trains to stop working! Therefore I had to bus the 10 miles into the City, which took me an hour and a half, I was frozen by the time I got off and went straight into Pret for a hot chocolate and a chocolate croissant, from that point on my tracking went out of the window.
Not my station but one of the many South Eastern train stations where trains services were 'disrupted' due to the adverse weather... |
For the rest of the week I had to find alternative routes to and from work, each as stressful as the next - its silly really as usually door to door my journey is 40 mins (including the 10-15 mins walk to each station) but it has been taking me on average 2 hours. stress & cold = comfort food needed - everyone at work has had the same issue so there has been biscuits and chocolate bought on mass to be shared.
We also had our work Christmas meal Friday night, we moved it from 8pm to 4pm due to the snow and people being able to get home and lets just say there was lots of food and booze consumed all round. Had a mega hangover on Saturday and also found my back to be incredibly sore from walking on the icy pavements (must have jarred it on the way home Friday night).
Too much vodka = hangover and lots of comfort food |
All of the above plus the snow preventing me getting to my meeting on Wednesday has made it a disastrous week. But I have decided to restart today and take the hit on Wednesday at my meeting to see what the damage is - don't have anything planned for this week so food wise I should hopefully be ok (fingers crossed!)
I'm really struggling with this weather too. Glasgow's been under a minimum of 2 foot of snow for most of the past 2 weeks!! the pavements are now just compacted ice. all this cold weather just makes me hungry!!
ReplyDeletekeep up the good work, think of the workout that the snow is giving you!
