WHMP: 6 November 2017

Today was my first day back working full time for the first time since before I started maternity leave in 2011.

Driving into work this morning I had a moment of extreme vanity in which I nearly crashed my car! I quite blatantly was checking myself out in the rear view mirror, it really freaks me out that I don’t recognise that reflection as myself!! It’s so surreal and abnormal that I don’t know who that person is???

Note: this photo was not taken while driving 😀

Day one was a cost saving measure for the health department. Why was it cost saving you might ask? Because I used my legs to get to all my meeting between hospitals and my office instead of using cab charge vouchers!

Not only did I get in some great incidental exercise….

I also got to enjoy some gorgeous Adelaide views along the journey as I walked the foot bridge between the Royal Adelaide and the Women’s & Children’s Hospitals.

I knew that I was going to be out of the office most of the day so I didn’t bother packing my lunchbox instead I took some high protein snacks I could have in transit and picked up some dumplings for lunch on my way back to the office. I’m such a cheap feed these days when eating out lol

So I survived day one of full time back to the office again tomorrow for my first Melbourne cup and first Tuesday in 6 years! But my lunchbox is packed and ready to roll.
