WI :))

Another weigh-in at home this morning and I have lost another 3lbs which I'm very happy with-how much of that is due to being ill Im not sure but sinusitis and a sore face certainly alters yr eating habits LOL-Ive discovered the tastiness of mashed cauliflower used as a potato substitute-had to eat more slowly and carefully (which is a good lesson to learn), but sadly have not been able to do any exercise which I missed. Its pouring with rain again and cold so I'm wishing I could be in this garden overlooking the sea in the balmy sunshine-bring back Spring please someone.

Weighing in at home tomorrow morning and have been a bit concerned about my rapid loss in last weeek through this sinus illness-just hope that whatever the scales say tomorrow they wont start going back up again when I'm fully recovered. Be glad when the antibiotics work (Doxycycline)-this sinusitis is a HORRIBLE thing !! and its my BIRTHDAY on Thursday and I want to enjoy my day !!

A Journey

On a journey never think abt the total milage you have to travel but along the way admire the view-smell the flowers at the sides of the rds-just dont stop for any naughty picnics !!!! LOL

Been having a mixed week this week.

Struggles

• Intended to join the Abingdon WW class but realised I wouldnt be able to WI next week as have a prior important engagement so will wait until after my birthday and my next visit to the nurse ...when I hope to get my vouchers for 3 months free membership.
  


• Have been fighting to keep ahead on the indoor-rowing team metre board but the lady behind me slipped past and as Ive had major dental work with a cold/sinus trouble on top I have had to concede my place and as the season ends next week I realised that I dont think I can struggle back through this illness. It made me appreciate that I need to let go again of this competitiveness-which over the past year has been an interesting thing to experience in someone who has never been competitive before in her life-but I guess it just doesnt suit either my mental or physical self. I will keep rowing but within new limits.
  
• Being ill-yet again !!! is horrible !

Successes

• Due to mixture of dentist and illness I have been verygood with my food this week and scales have moved downwards nicely-but it concerns me that weight Ive lost may just due to dehydration etc so I am not officially recording my weight-change until this illness has settled-which I hope will be SOON !
  
• But I am not craving the foods I thought I would be missing-that night recently in hospital keeps coming back into my mind when I look at unhealthy foods now- I definitely do not want a return trip there again !
  
• We have booked two holidays-end of May to Center Parcs Elveden.. just the two of us to recharge our batteries-http://www.centerparcs.co.uk/villages/elveden/index.jsp


• and then to Plymouth to a gorgeous apartment right up on the Hoe with tall arched windows overlooking the sea-taking Mum and Joyce with us-a mixture of family history research, outings and family visits.Hopefully there will be less of me by then.

Bridge Over Troubled Waters

Bridge Over Troubled Waters

The waters have been a bit troubled over the last 6 months or so--but a recent health scare has brought me to my senses and led me in a new direction again-its a path I have trodden before but in the past I've given up and reverted to old habits and ways of thinking before reaching my goal. This time I have a better support system and reasons to reach that goal. I shall cross this bridge to the other side and reach that goal no matter how long it takes me.
