WEIGH IN, GOOD NEWS & BAD NEWS.

GOOD NEWS - Weighed in today for a loss of 1.2kg (2.64 lbs) - GO ME!

BAD NEWS - Went to my Immunologist yesterday and got the berating I knew I would get which had me in tears.Every word though he said was relevant and correct and gave me the shake up I needed. To be told "Your 46, still a young woman and look at you, your a mess"! was the comment that hit home the most.

My fractures are not healing as they should and they are worried the bones are necrosing due to lack of blood supply, so I have to have a few - no alot of tests, and a complete overhaul to reassess my condition in an attempt to get me off the damn steroids I have been taking for 12 years.

I'll be away for nearly two weeks, funny thing is I'm more concerned how I'll go eating wise while I'm flat on my back. First thing I want to do is speak to the Dietitian and see if they can give me some calorie controlled meals.

Anyway bye for now and please say a prayer for me. I'll leave you again with another funny.

WEIGH IN WEDNESDAY

Weighed in today for a 2kg (4.4lb) loss. Yay Me!

It has given me a much needed boost to my motivation.

Thinking about all the negatives obesity brings to my life every time I wanted to pick at this or scoff down a packet of chocolate biscuits has helped me enormously in the past week.

Things I need to improve on is to drink more water and secondly space my food out better. I was finding it difficult after dinner as I usually save something for supper to have with my cup of tea.

I'll leave you all with another funny - have a good week and stay strong!

AT HOME

Working from home Tuesday and Thursday this week. My daughter has gone back to school so I don't have her to drive me or help me around the office being "my legs".

I have arranged for a guy from work to pick me up in the other mornings, it will be an early start 6 AM (FARK!!) which means I will have to be out of bed at 5AM as it takes me twice as long to get ready with the crutches. My boss was not impressed I wanted to work from home, don't know why but he tried to talk me out of it, but I'm sick of having to give in all the time, I always in the past put everyone first before myself, but not this time.

My food has been relatively good, though I went to a party on Saturday night and had what I wanted. I will still record a loss tomorrow but will not be as good as I could have done.

Oh well, onwards and upwards, will record my loss tomorrow, so until then adios amigos!

ps Say a prayer I win the $50 million lotto tonight - I want to retire!!!

ENOUGH IS ENOUGH

Still hobbling around on the crutches. I am finding the limited movement frustrating to say the least.It has highlighted to me (again) how precious good health and fitness is.I know when I go to my annual review with my immunologist in 2 weeks time I am going to get a mouthful.

I have gained weight big time,my mother told me yesterday "she has never seen me as big as I am now". This comment stung me a bit but if your mother can't tell you a few home truths, no one can.

I jumped on the scales this morning and am so disgusted I'm not even going to write down those figures here, but I can tell you I have gained half if what I lost in the past two years.

I'm back on my old program of 1500 cals a day and will blog my losses and not my weight until I have reached what my lowest weight was. It's a mind thing I know, but I seem to do better when I play these games.

Anyway best go and pay some people, have a good week to you all and I will be dropping in on your blogs more in the next week.

CRUTCHES - NOW I HAVE THREE!!

The news I have been avoiding getting has finally been delivered.

My bone scan results were not good. I have 2 bones broken in my foot - the middle cuneiform and the navicular bone.

The irony of ironies is it's a common fracture for runners!!! You could imagine my reaction to that pearler, what a laugh. The Doctor seems to think it has been caused by my return to the gym and the treadmill. F*@K!

That old phrase comes to mind "Your damned if you do and damned if you don't".

So I'm on crutches for 4 weeks which is the pits, crutches are difficult to manoeuvre for the average person, let alone Tank Girl with the upper body strength of a flea!

My work place has been wonderful, they organised a office downstairs for me and told me if I needed to have time off just to let them know. My daughter who is on school holidays at the moment is driving me in (She's on her Learners) and helping me out in the office and they are paying her for the privilege, so she's getting some extra money which is good.

Today is my wedding anniversary - 21 years!! Time sure flies when your having fun!!

CORRRRR!

My foot is still giving me trouble I will have to make an appointment for a Bone Scan today - yuk!

I'm am diverting from the dismal state of my foot and my weight loss efforts to talk about something completely frivolous.

Last night I was flicking through the remote and I came across a movie that had one of my "boyfriends" in it.

My daughter gave that nickname to all the actors I go weak at the knees over and will watch anything they are in. Some I only like when they play a character, so maybe that doesn't count, some I like for everything they are in.

So here's my list


Colin Firth - I like him in everything,he first came to notice playing the smoldering Mr Darcy in the BBC production of Pride & Prejudice. Loved him in Bridget Jones and Love Actually. Can't wait to see him in the movie version of Momma Mia. A big CORRR!


Alan Rickman - Like him in everything,even in the Harry Potter movies, another big CORRR!



Liam Neeson - A strapping man that looks great in a kilt (Rob Roy)CORRRR!





Viggo Mortenson - Like him in everything PARTICULARLY as Aragorn in the Lord of the Rings Trilogy.CORRR!

Brad Pitt - Only when he has long hair - Ha! Loved him in Legends of the Fall and Troy - CORRRR!


So that's my list - what's yours?

BLAH!

Thought I had better check in as it's been two weeks without posting.

The last two weeks have been a bit blah!

I've had my daughter home form school for two weeks sick with a virus -
I stayed home with her for two days which really impressed my boss, but it had to be done. Also have come to the realisation I have a stress fracture or fractures in my foot again.

I have been in alot of pain for about 7 weeks now,my ankle swells up like a balloon after a day on my feet. I have had - oh,about 6 stress fractures in the last 10 years mainly in my right foot, so I say I'm pretty good at picking them. For any of you that have had a broken bone, it's that deep seated ache you get, particularly at night that is a sure sign you have a fracture.

Luckily I have my own boot - it is an alternative to a cast, I can take it off to shower,drive and go to bed, sort of like a ski boot, I call it my "Hermann Munster" shoe - lol! It's a pain in the arse to put on and take off particularly when I drive, but it helps with the healing process.If there is n improvement in a couple of weeks I'll have to have a bone scan - BLAH!

This of course has not done me any favours on the exercise front. my eating also has not been so good over the last few weeks.

Am feeling very vulnerable at the moment and BLAH!with my foot and a head cold. I saw Sex and the City on the weekend, it was entertaining, I must admit I did not watch the series very much but the movie was good.I really want to see Indiana Jones - has anyone seen that yet, I am a big fan, so may pencil it in for next weekend.

Anyway better go and do some work, I'll leave you with a funny
