You may remember in January I wrote something like this:
Every few months I have this call with a colleague from abroad... its a 'mentoring' call. all-in-all they are pretty useful, but before each one I get all bent out of shape because I don't want to do the call and I'm afraid I'll have nothing to talk about! I mean - a whole hour of having nothing to talk about. Scary. Anyway, one is about to start in 3 minutes, so I'm writing here quickly to record this sentiment... I'm feeling a bit nervous ('cos this guy is a senior guy in this company) and I am planning to play the call by ear... no (or very little) prep... just, hopefully, 1 or 2 topics of conversation to raise when the call goes quiet... scary. Well - I'm no doubt reading this after the event and laughing! Until next time, that is ;-)
Well.... guess what! The "next time" is here! Yes, I've got another call in about 5 minutes with this guy and I need to think about things to say. I've got a little shortlist of stuff I could talk about (if the call were to go quiet) written on a post-it note in front of me, but I do get butterflies with these calls... I'm not sure why though.
In other news, I'm now down to exactly 13 stone AND my BMI is within the "ideal weight" range! This is fantastic news for me, and the first time I've been at an ideal weight for about 15 years!
I just ordered some whey protein to build up some muscle - I've been pushing weight for about a month now but I've not been consuming much protein (G is a vegetarian so protein can be hard to come by!). I figure I should take 3 or 4 protein shakes every day to get things moving a bit. Wanna see some big arms!
Memories: C saying "I nearly crydid then!" when going down the log flume!
