Here I am again…

 Right, this week I’m still battling the flu, a bad cough and stiffly snuffly nose. And no….it’s not Covid. I’ve tested and I’m negative. So this past week I’ve either felt like not eating, or I’ve been over eating 😏😑

The scales….a stay the same.

I was hoping to catch up with another old school friend on Thursday. Anne flew over from Melbourne to catch up with family and friends. We tried, but by the time she passed through here I was only a few minutes off starting work. Told her to go through and spend the extra time with her niece who unfortunately is terminally ill.  

Next time Anne.

Friday the kids went to their Dads after school/daycare. Kylee usually goes up to Mandurah after her work Saturday and picks them up after their overnight visit and then spends the night and next day with Micheal and his daughters. This weekend she couldn’t as one of the daughters got put into isolation due to being a close contact during the week. She so far no symptoms but Micheal tested positive Saturday. So I went up to Mandurah with Kylee and picked up the kids. Miss Summer turned 4 today so whilst with Dad they had a early party. OMG 😳😳😳 what did they feed her, must have been a huge sugar overload 😮😳🎂All the way home that little girls sang, laughed, wriggled and giggled 🤭 Kylee took nearly 2 hours to get her to settle after dinner and bath before she would finally sleep😴 …. But then she was up at crack of dawn. And today….the excitement was still there, she was bouncing off the walls all day. 

Thankfully….she was soooooo tired tonight I had her in bed, tucked in, storybook read and asleep by 7pm. 

Now it’s my turn, it’s been a long day. 

Night night.

Saturday weigh

 And just like that it’s the weekend again. 

That means Saturday weigh in. A loss of 400g to record today. Yay, the scales are still moving down. Finally I think my reflux has gone. Today for the first time in what seems like forever I haven’t got that horrible taste in my mouth but I still have a bit of a cough still. 

Daughter is on her 5 nights straight, so have the kids. This morning took them to the bookstore where William cashed in his literacy book award he got at the end of last year, then we went shopping. Because the kids were well behaved they were rewarded with a treat of a milkshake while I had coffee and a bacon and egg sandwich for brunch. 

Looks like a busy weekend with kids. Doesn’t give me much of a weekend off. But…it is what it is…

Reflux

The reflux has still been giving me grief. The cough is still annoying, I’m not as lethargic thankfully. Dr said I just have to let it take it’s course so hopefully that will be soon, can’t come soon enough.

My appetite is returning so maybe the end can’t be too far away. My fingers are crossed, I’m tired of being tired.

I weighed in yesterday  instead of today as I’d made plans to drive down to a coastal town an hour away to catch up with a girlfriend of many years. Actually we met in year 1. We lost contact for many years but thanks to Facebook we caught up again and have since had a few catch ups over the years.  

So I weighed in yesterday and saw to my delight a 1.4K loss. I couldn’t leave for our lunch date till 12 due to 2 other appointments. 

I’m usually a jeans and t-shirt girl but this summer I’m loving dresses. For lunch with Linda I decided to “pretty” myself up and wear my favourite dress.  Losing weight does make me feel good….here’s hoping this week I can keep this feeling happening. 

Going Down…

 Finally the scales went down. 300g loss.

It’s been a hard week, I was and still am suffering from a bout of reflux. The cough, the lack of sleep because of the cough, the lethargy…… and thankfully no heartburn. But ohhh the cough, it’s killing me!! I hadn’t been taking my tablets for a awhile so now I suffer. Actually it’s been more than a week, I though I had a cold a few weeks ago but I think it’s been reflux all along. 

Long weekend here, but I have a work shift today. Wasn’t doing anything anyways, too tired to get of my own way at the moment.
