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!

Gah!

Yeah, I know. It has been ages.
Since my last post I have had my email address stolen, fallen out with my mum for a full week then made friends with her again, meet the very handsome Terrance Zdunich and the lovely Darren Lynn Bousman and his fiancee Laura Bosserman. I have also lost more weight and I am now loaded with the cold.

Anyway, that is all I can be arsed writing for now.


10st 4lbs

BMI 25.5

I am going to be skinny before I know it!

Just want to be all smug and proud of myself, I have lost another pound!

10st 9lbs

BMI 26.4

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.


10st 10lbs

BMI 26.6

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

I have what today..?

So, got to work this morning. Quite happy doing my registrations when my mobile tells me i have a message. 'Who would be texting me at this time in the morning?' I ask myself. It is 9.10am, most folk are at work so would be emailing me if they wanted a chat... Fecking reminder to tell me my Dietician appointment is today, in 20 mins, not tomorrow as I had thought. I had managed to somehow convince myself that Friday was the 29th of January. Anyhoo, don't panic folks, I made it on time. Dietician took my height and weight and worked out my BMI, suffice to say I was not impressed, infact I would go as far as to say horrified. These things don't sound so bad when you say them yourself, when a medical professional says it, it actually hits home. Anyway, she gave me a diet sheet to fill out so next time she can get a proper idea of what I eat in a typical week. I gave her a basic run down of what I eat every day and all she could say is that I might not be getting enough carbs. I am to start eating more bread, tatters, rice and pasta. If she can't see a way to change my diet to help me lose weight, she wants to put me on xenical. Not ideal, I don't want to poop orange oil by accident everytime I move. Apparently if I don't eat anymore that 3g of fat a day, the oil thing won't happen. I will wait and see what happens. I might suddenly wake up one day 9st again, miracles can happen...



BMI : 28.5

Monday, Monday!

Today I got an email to tell me which area I would be working in when I transfer across the road. Customer Service. Not impressed, especially since I will be on the same floor as my Aunt. I can see it now. I will take a days annual leave and the next thing I know, She will be on the phone to my mum telling her how I wasn't in work that day and how if I took sick leave I would get sacked, etc, etc...
The work itself I am not overly concerned about, LEAN, not bothered, can't be any worse than taking Taxes calls constantly all day every day. Trying to look at the bright side of things. My home life will be a hell of a lot easier, what with the proper flexi and being able to start work at half seven things will be a lot better.

Looking forward to my leaving/ triumphant return do on Friday. Still have not decided if I am going to take a half day or just have an early finish. Will need to decide tomorrow so I can get all my stuff ready for getting moved. That and I also have my dietician appointment on the friday morning, will need to remind my current manager in case he thinks I have done a runner in the morning...

Ok. Done for now. More later.
