Return of Motivation

Well yet another New Year-2009-where does the time go ?

have been suffering since my November illness from extreme lethargy -firstly from the barrage of antibiotics and fighting the infection, then from stresses and strains of a hectic family Christmas

Now I resemble the shape of the Christmas pudding and I havent rowed for months so I need to regain some motivation
so its a good job Mr Motivator is back on GmTv and a friend is going to support me too -we have a big family wedding in August so that is also motivation
wish me luck I shall need it !!

FOO FIGHTERS ''''''' A NIGHT TO REMEMBER

YES the FOO FIGHTERS at Wembley Stadium was great !!!!!
BUT I was at up in Level 2 on a padded seat wishing I was down there with the crowd as everyone in my section STAYED SITTING DOWN !!!!!!!!!!!! and as I was in row 2 I couldnt get up unless they did-I was GUTTED!
finally they rose at Mr Page's entrance !
Stupendous all of it ..........except getting out back to the tube station'''''1.5 hrs to go a few yards !!! we just got caught up with mounted police control etc etc and a lot of standing about waiting to be let through whilst being smothered by all the big blokes and drunks round me ha ha ha ! what fun ! took the shine off it bit but was Ok again when I heard it last night on Radio One . No doubt we will be on a DVD sometime soon too and the cinema are showing it next week so I will be reliving it all and will be able to see Messrs Grohl and Hawkins a little closer up which will be good Mmm Mmm Mmm.

WI report

Sad to report a small gain of half a pound at Weight Watchers this week
as it was my 1st week after joining class I was very disappointed as you can imagine-having stuck to Core-not cheated -and done plenty of exercise
BUT I have lost a stone in the 4 wks before that so I guess my body is just sorting itself out-and my fluid balance may be out with this hot weather
leader was sympathetic as she knows Im diabetic and sometimes that gets in the way of normal losses what with ups and downs of all the meds I take
unfortunately I will not be at the next 2 classes as next wk in London for 2 days and wk after on my hols at Center Parc
I will stick with Core for a while longer as its easier for me and its worked over past month lets hope in a few wks I will do better next time at scales !!!

Good News at scales

Had an irresistible urge to hop on scales and was thrilled to see the 15 stones return-only by half a pound but its still what Ive been dying to see !!! Tomorrow have appointment with nurse to see if I have managed to lose the 4lbs required to get free WW class vouchers and I think she will be rather amazed by my progress over past month !!! After I have seen her I intend to go and join the lunchtime WW class in Oxford and continue the next stage of this journey.Wish me luck !!

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 !!
