This week, let's see...DH had his surgery on Tues, came home Wed, failed follow up test yesterday so has to stick with medical support he has been using since the end of Jan until next Fri, when hopefully he will have recovered enough to get rid of it. He can't drive for 3 weeks, so I am playing chauffeur and will be going to office more; I've got stuff to do I've been shirking so it's one way of making me do it. Ate my face off last night after 7+ hours at the hospital yesterday - way too many pistachio and raw monkey nuts and 72% cocoa chocolate, plus some black cherry cider (cider here is alcoholic). I'm fed up with myself for eating when I wasn't hungry and more annoyed with myself for not drinking enough during the day (I forgot myself while encouraging DH) - I had horrible cramping last night and not much sleep, so feel like poop once more because I'm very tired. I'm actually eating grey sea salt straight from the bag today; my sodium is low along with my hydration level. It's raining again and we don't have anything to do that can't wait, so it's curl up and Let The World Go By Day today for both of us - doorbell be dashed if it goes. It's weird how one week seems to have taken a month to go by looking back. May you and yours stay safe and well and have a great week, especially if you have kids who have started their Easter holidays from school. I'll be thinking of you.

losing 1.0 lb a week
31 March 2014
So yesterday was Mother's Day over here and was I reclining in luxury, pampered and waited on hand and foot by my loving family, surrounded by flowers and chocolates? Was I heck. My day was mostly spent doing VAT for the quarterly return at work and catching up with washing. Fabulous. DS did turn up in the afternoon with a card (he's staying at his girlfriend's new place a lot since we helped her move in last week) and DD was struggling to keep her head above water with her all male family, including the new puppy and a sinus infection bless her - no luxury for her either. So much for our Hallmark moment!
Good job no-one was home earlier today when I decided to try out those workouts I recorded! Salsa with Kimberley lasted for about 14 minutes; I'm about as Pineapple Studios as Big Bird and I soon got hacked off trying to keep up. Morning Wake Up with Winston bit the dust when he tried to get me to get up off the floor five times in a row as the introductory exercise - he'd finished before I'd done two. Doonya Bollywood got put to another day, but I have no hope that my two left feet will do any better than with the salsa - I can't follow Zumba on my Wii either. I gave up and went with good old C25K on the cross trainer once I'd dug it out from under the detritus it was decorated with. I need to get moving to stand a chance with the new challenge on here. Took me all day to talk myself into it though. Not a natural athlete here - built for comfort, not for speed as the saying goes! I'll try another one tomorrow. Maybe.

Haven't been on here for a while - feel like I disappeared down a black hole and have just re-emerged and now the sun is shining again!! Nothing bad happened fortunately, I just got caught in day to day crap and let it drown me for a bit. Back to tracking carbs and calories really closely as I let my carb count particularly slide around since November, although not wildly and I used my weekly points for the last few weeks which I don't ordinarily, but I've stuck to my w.o.e. I plateaued for a couple of weeks, but things have moved again now I've got a grip on myself. Still need to motivate myself to exercise; I've recorded a load of different workouts from the Fitness channel to mix with my Bosu and Jane Fonda DVDs. Now all I have to do is actually get my lazy butt off the chair and do them. Sigh. Have a lovely weekend everyone. :0)

I'm gobsmacked!! I dreamed of this day and here it is. 50lbs gone! Stunning. I'm saying gone and not lost as I have no intentions of ever finding it again (not an original quote - thank you Facebook). Sadly I don't have the energy to happy dance as this has been one of the worst weeks for sleeping I can remember in a very long time and I feel like poop. Still, the sun is out and it's warming up a bit, although it will be an age before everything dries out over here. Have a wonderful weekend everyone and for those who are not feeling well I wish you a speedy road back to good health.

losing 2.8 lb a week

Apologies if anyone thinks I've been ignoring them or any comments they have been kind enough to take the trouble of making on my journal or anything else I've written on this site, but I have been experiencing all sorts of problems both on and off here for the past few days. I am constantly being locked out of my account on here, both via iPad and PC, which is very frustrating. I get access for a short time and then it all goes @&£# up and I'm thrown off and locked out again, so I'll make hay while the sun shines now.
I seem to be spending a lot of time at the local hospital over the last few weeks. The last time a few days ago was on behalf of DS's ex, who was taken in to the ER with a problem brought on by her recent chest infection, poor girl. Her family are unable to physically assist her and she is like one of our kids after being together with my son for over five years, so we step in as surrogate parents for her when she needs us. We really like DS's new girlfriend, don't get me wrong, but his ex has a special place in my heart in particular and always will. They just weren't compatible as a couple long term and I am happy that she still wants to meet up with me and do stuff - it leaves a hole when you get to love the partners of your children then never see them again when they split. I have room in my heart and life for both her and the lovely girl who followed in her footsteps and count myself very lucky that I have them both.
Having said all that, I am still trying to get over the very silly o'clock return home to bed from the ER experience, but am happy that her problem is almost gone, although she still has to shake off the lingering virus completely. I have kept to my w.o.e., although I must say I hit the 74% dark choc very heavily over the past couple of days, so goodness only knows what my calorie count was like as I didn't track. I have now resolved to only buy 85% or above from now on as I get a real blast from one or two squares of that, which is more than enough; I can chomp through a 100g bar of anything lower with no effort at all if I am stressed. The meditation challenge is helping, as does journaling on here when I can, but it's not quite the same as a nice bar of chocolate!! :0)
