Derailed….

 First up….weigh in day tomorrow….it is NOT going to happen.

I’ve totally derailed myself. I’ve eaten like it’s going out of fashion….all junk mostly…..and chocolate 🍫  

Although in saying that Tuesday was my birthday and I was taken out for the most beautiful meal in a very upscale restaurant for lunch by my daughter.  

From there it went downhill. 

Stress didn’t help. 

On Friday son was sent home from work, his hand was all swollen. Got him into Drs, it’s an infection, antibiotics prescribed, blood tests and X-ray were done. Saturday and Sunday the hand and the fingers are very swollen, twice the size as Friday. Back to Drs and he shakes his head and sends him to emergency at the hospital. It’s an abscess they say, start him fasting as he may have surgery. Pump with intravenous antibiotics. He waits and waits and Surgeon there says I’m not a hand surgeon I’m not touching it and proceeded to book him into a Perth hospital . Sent home, have a feed, start fasting at 11pm and be at hospital by 8am where day surgery will be done.

Luckily hubby and I were heading to Perth next day as friends of ours from LA were sailing into Fremantle port as a stopover on their world cruise. 

Anyways we got son to hospital, a little late as traffic was horrendous…and we left an hour early too. Made sure he was in the right place and continued onto the port to see Joe and Marian. Had a wonderful visit, one we’d been looking forward to for over 6 months. Last time we saw them was May 2018 when we stayed at their lovely home as a stopover on our way to Alaska. 

Anyways Shawn rang us after our visit and said no surgery today. Poor man all that fasting for nothing, and he’d be staying in overnight. Fingers crossed he’d be first up next day so we came home to prepare for another trip the next day.  

Phone call from son next day, having surgery late afternoon, pick me up tomorrow.

He rings at 7.30, they discharging me, just have to get my discharge papers, Drs certificate and pick up my drugs…should be out by10.30. Yeahhhhhh right….we drove up there arriving by 10.30 and he never got out till nearly 1pm. None of us were very happy. 

Anyways all done now. 

So…..stress, takeaways and chocolate….ugggghhhhh

Tomorrow is Monday…..let’s see if I can climb onboard the WW train again…..

Hot 🥵

 Ohhhh boy, this weather….🥵🥵🥵

It’s been in the high 30’s and low 40’s and as humid as all heck….we have been melting. Thank god for air conditioning. Another hot and muggy one coming up. 

Right…I have been asked, has my daughter got a new man?  After the shocking way she was dumped by Micheal (the last boyfriend of 4 years) she got her 4 wheel drive camping ready and concentrated on that and her kids. But anyways to cut a long story short she started chatting to a few men online. Jason and her clicked, they the same age, they went to the same school, live only a few k’s apart and had heaps in common. They met and are together. The kids love him, we like him so we will see what the future brings. 

A few challenges ahead for them but let’s see what happens. 

Weigh in day. 200g down. It’s a loss but I expected more after a great week. But it’s a new week now and a few challenges ahead. It’s birthday week. We’ve also got friends  from Los Angeles who are on a world cruise arriving in Perth this week and we are meeting them and having a catch up. We haven’t seen them since 2018 when we stayed with them on our visit to Los Angeles. 

Anyways time to off….a few chores to get done before it gets too hot to get anything done. 

Catch you next week. 

Busy Day…

 A busy day today.

This morning general housework, a few loads of washing. Did some meal prep, dinner for tonight and some for the freezer. All done before 10.30 as my jabberbuddy was taking me out for an early birthday lunch. Deb flies to Bangkok for a holiday on Saturday 😊

Some op shopping was done then lunch. We both had chicken and salad with a small order of chips on the side to share between us, and it was lovely and quite filling. 

Deb was the very first friend I made 30 years ago when we moved into the Estate we’re both living in. We’ve been walking together for over 20 years in between us raising kids, working and now looking after grandkids. Love her to bits.

Talking about kids, I had mine on Saturday as Kylee’s boyfriend had a birthday party…adults only. It was just a stinking hot day we spent a few hours up the pool.

Both of them love the water, Summer especially 😘

Right weigh in today, finalllllllyyyy after 3 weeks I had a loss. 500g that I’m determined not to gain again….heck it’s just too darn hard to lose. 

I’ve not lost a real lot of weight between the 3 pics below, just over 3 kilos…but I can see a few changes between them all. 

Anyways, time to do the dishes and organise a few things for morning. I have an early morning work shift. 

A day late……

 …..but I’m here….

Thankfully the weather has cooled down a bit these last few days, it’s been very pleasant after the shocking high temps we’ve been having. BUT I saw on the weather forecast by the weekend we will be having extreme  heat again 🥵  Now that I’m not looking forward too…thank god we have air con and can sit in comfort. I have been catching up on my “to be read” collection of books as well as some scrapbooking. 

Kids went back to school. William year 5 this year and Summer is year 1. She so excited that she finally in the “big school” 😍     Just where have those years gone.

So very grown up now. She loves that she is in the same area as her big brother. 

Right now weigh in….a great week, not entirely a 100% on track but pretty good….and exercised 6 days of the week….and yet another sts. That’s 3 weeks in a row. Still a bit to go to get back to where I was just before Christmas….but I will get there. 

Not giving in. 

Right time to start preparing some dinner. Pork chops tonight.
