well apparently passover starts tonight.
i'm working all evening and tomorrow evening too.
great. cheers NHS and your 24/7 culture.
i have just finished two full shifts, back-to-back 8-6pms. and what have we learned from such an exercise?
my body can vent weight whenever it wants too cos i reckon i'm about 6-7 pounds lighter than i was when i weighed myself on sunday evening.
this is not good folks.
and i know some readers of this journal have difficulty with their weight and this may sound like a mix between my incessant whinging and the fix of all your ills but this is really not good for me.
after monday I came home feeling shattered and i really had to work hard to do anything. i drilled, i ate, i went to bed at 9pm.
getting up at 6am was virtually impossible and i was virtually despondent in work for the first 3 hours. then i got shifted to heavy orthopaedics and had to run (me? RUN???) ragged to help with a hip replacement.
then i returned to my original theatre in the PM and helped yank a gall bladder out of somebody.
of course all this was punctuated with pressure, pain and soreness+++ over the course of the day which had me scrabbling for the pain-pills at lunchtime.
not that they did any good.
i have the easter weekend off which is good, combined with the 2 UK bank holidays this should give me some time to rest. although how i can regain the weight i've lost over passover is gonna be tricky. which is why i often ask for the week off from work purely because i can't ingest the amount of calories i need and still keep the 'No Yeast' rule upheld.
i guess i'm just gonna have to learn to love matzo.
yay. :-(
