I didn't think it was wise to go to weigh in after the past week so I checked the scales at home and they're showing that I maintained. That is good enough for me, especially after a week of laying in bed and no exercise. I still feel pretty rotten but kind of feel relieved mentally after yesterday's event. I can now just be sick and not feel guilty about it.
My exercise routine is going to change again also. I can't wait to start walking in the mornings (again) and ride at night! I am really missing exercise, no kidding but of course I'll wait 'til I'm better. Yes mums LOL :-) Thank you for all your great advice and comments.
I am also going to enjoy being more down to earth now where I do not have to compromise my beliefs, ethics or personality. I will not work in a Photo Agency that deal with papparazzi photos only ever again (I didn't realise this before). The shame *shudder*. My prefered clientele are book publishers, newspapers (features section), design agencies and the like...dealing with classy photos and real photographers. Not the sort that invade in people's privacy and exploit them for their own means in trashy magazines. I want to find beautiful pictures for beautiful stories and be able to go home at the end of the day feeling like I've contributed to something positive.
There, so I hope I am more clear about what I expect out of a job. I hope you don't mind me thrashing these ideas out here!? This next week, I will need to really think about the direction I want to take now without compromising what is important to me.
In other news, I had to leave the house today to go Father's Day shopping. Done and I also bought two new books for myself to cheer up. Will let you know what they're like when I've read them.
1. The Seven Spiritual Laws of Yoga (I am really getting into it!)
2. Strength Training for Women
Okay, I'm off to my folks tomorrow for 2 days.
HAPPY FATHER'S DAY!

you're right to not compromise your beliefs for a job, those gossip glossy magazines are awful for rumours and butting in where they dont belong. you will go far by being honest well done lady. now heres to a speedy recovery, enjoy those books they sounds interesting, i'll have to check out the strength training for women :)
Well done on the maintaining!! Don't be too hard on yourself though. We cannot except to lose every single week especially when life throws us so many curve balls. Sorry to hear about losing the job - they didn't deserve you anyway. Good luck for Monday!!! XX
Hope your interview goes well and the new Agency is more up to your standards. Hope you are feeling much better.
Good luck with the interview - there is no use staying somewhere if you are not happy:)
Being sick obviously turned out to be a blessing in disguise, if it gave you a good out for your work!!
Dont be too concerned with weight and exercise if you are still unwell - gotta get better first!!
ANd Redeye was ok - I enjoyed it, but others I was with thought it was pretty average! (I pretty much like all movies!)
Well done on mainaining this week Mary :) I can understand you looking forward to getting back into your normal routine! Gosh I didn't realise your job involved papparazzi type pics, no wonder you consider it a blessing disguise! Hope the health is better & that you have a good week!
What's that saying? Things will all work out in the end, and if they haven't worked out it's not the end.
I don't really "believe" in anything, but have found from experience that things generally do work out for the best. But then again, how do you know it couldn't have been better? I guess you have to deal with the situation you partly choose/partly get lumped with and do what you can to ensure you come out of it all somewhere near the top!
Great to see you have taken this opportunity to reassess what is important to you, hope the time back hope is relaxing.
Hi Mary
Hope you are feeling better and enjoying being a free woman...good luck tonight with your interview.
