Nearly conference time! Got a call from the folk at Brighton flats. We are all go with the paying in cash when we get there, thats another weight off my mind. I called PCS finance to find out what had happened to my Group Conference expenses. They were sent on Monday, so should be with me tomorrow. Since there is absolutely no chance of the cheque clearing before I get to Conference, Steve has kindly offered to give me the money now, so I can just give him it back when the cheque finally does clear. Yet another thing sorted!
All I need to do now is get through the mandate meeting tomorrow, dye my hair (I have so much grey I am starting to look like a badger...) and pack my case. My travel documents are all together and safe and the money situation fixed. What would also be nice is a lottery win and for me to lose a stone in weight over night, without amputation.
More updates later.
No change in weight, BTW.

Oops!
Ok. Time to update.
Just got my hand slapped for not doing it often enough ;P
Not a lot been happening. Run off my feet last week with trying single handedly to organise our annual mandate meeting. It ended up being cancelled because it was too much for me to do alone, that and a few other things. Rescheduled for next Thursday, all prep has been finished now so fingers crossed it will all run smoothly on the day.
I head off to Brighton for conference on Saturday. I think I have everything I need for that, except my expenses...
Long story short, I have not received my Group expenses yet (hopefully will appear in tomorrows post) and my National expenses, though they did arrive, were made out to Steve. He has put the cheque in his bank and will give me the money when it cashes. I will phone PCS when the cheque cashes and tell them about their error. No point doing it now in case they cancel the cheque, then I would be royally screwed...
Not been very strick with myself in respect to my diet, so still hovering between 10st 5lbs and 10st 7lbs. Will get back on it tomorrow and hopefully lose a few lbs before I go on Saturday.
Anyway, thats me for now. Will do a quick update on Friday night as I won't have access to a computer next week and will update when I get back from conference.

Nowt.
As you can tell from my title, not alot has been going on since my last post. Well, nothing until 2 weeks ago.
Was at my sister in laws wedding on the 9th of April. It was down at the Seamill Hydro, near Largs.
It was ok. Food was ok. Band was quite good, though not many people we up for dancing it seemed. I fit into my dress and didn't need to wear my Bridget Jones 'special' pants to get into it, so I was well happy!
Sadder news, Steves' uncle Fred passed away last week. He had been not well for a while with a liver complaint but was taken into hospital with a peforated bowel the week before Julies' (Steves' sister) wedding. They couldn't operate because he was so full of infection (peritonitis) after a week long cock up with his blood test results. Anyhoo, Fred underwent an emergency operation and had been in ICU under heavy sedation after the operation. Steve and I had gone up to see him on Monday 13th. Probably not the best time for Steve to have seen him as they were bringing Fred out of the heavy sedation, not good for family members to see what with the confusion and disorientation. Fred was not aware we were there because he was still proper drugged up. Fred had been brought out of the sedation successfully and had been sitting up talking to Steves' dad and the next day he passed. I get the feeling he just needed to see folk before he went, he went knowing everyone had been to see him so I am glad. I think Steve is glad he went to see him too, though it was not an enjoyable experiance. I was proud of the way Steve handled it though. He talked to Fred and when we were leaving, held his hand to let him know we were there.
Steves' sister doesn't know yet. She comes back from her honeymoon on Wednesday night. Her dad is picking her up so he can tell her personally.
Freds funeral is on Thursday afternoon, another trip to The Lynn. I hate that place.
Aside from all that, nothing much is happening. Going to start the Atkins Diet again tomorrow (once last nights pizza is finished!) so I can lose the remaining stone/ stone and a half to reach my target weight (between 9st and 9st 7lbs) hopefully before conference. I will try and remember to update regularly on my weight loss.
Oh, Just to say, I got down to 10st 4lbs (see last post) and have not gained any back (give or take a few pounds of water every few days. It falls straight back off again though!) even though I have been eating a normal diet. Carbs and all! Yay!

Fat and protein, the best of all the diets!
I know that it has only been 3 days, but that is me dropped another 2lbs! So very happy right now. My mood has lifted and I physically feel a lot better. Will probably start exercising more now that I don't have the fear of knackering my knees with the extra weight, that will probably help more with losing weight.

Sometimes it's hard to be a woman...
Yeah, it has been ages since my last post. I have been quite busy, getting settled back into work at Centre One and the such. Kids still mental, Steve still Steve, house still a mess. Well, it has been tidy on occation, just more stuff keeps arriving in the house and ends up sitting around when folk don't come to pick it up when they are meant to. Hey ho, I am getting to the stage where I am giving up on keeping it tidy at all.
Anyhoo, good news, I am under 11stone now! On a high fat, high protein diet I have managed to shed 9lbs in 2 weeks! In all honesty, I have not been sticking to the diet ridgedly, I have been eating more than my daily allowance of carbs on numerous days... I am going to try and stick to it properly for the next two weeks to try and lose as much of the excess weight as possible, then start reintroducing carbs in higher levels to my diet again. I long for a huge bowl of mashed potato...
Not long now!
I hasten to add that the diet I am on has absolutely nothing to do with the Dieticians advice. She told me to eat more carbs than I was and I gained 4lbs in 3 days, and that was me eating only 1500 calories a day as she advised...
It was actually my Psychiatrist who suggested the High fat, high protein diet, and for this, I thank him!
BMI : 26.9
