A gain….

 Today was weigh in day…a month since my last one. I was expecting a gain, (as I mentioned in last post when I had an unofficial peek) and yep those demon scales were not nice, I added a little more since I last checked scales.  New medication didn’t help, nor did not taking medication because I realised it was making me ill…but hopefully after Dr visit today that will be sorted.

But can’t solely blame that, it’s me and indulging myself as well. Me that says “you’ve been going so well a little treat won’t hurt” but then continues to treat myself for days. I know one little treat won’t hurt but I self sabotage myself. When I’m good and on track I’m great, but when I’m not I’m my own worst enemy. 

Good news is I’m still going to the pool Monday to Friday and walking in the water. I love it and have made friends with some lovely ladies there. 

Yesterday I had a lovely day with my daughter shopping. We went to Mandurah for the day to shop for Christmas pressies for the kids. The kids were with their Dad and we picked them up at train station at 4.30pm. Had a lovely time and found some bargains. Ohh boy, my feet were so sore last night and my knee welcomed the hour or more I spent in the pool. 

This week I haven’t got much on, unless Skye comes back from staying at her boyfriends, it’s her birthday Friday, 22 this year. We will do cake if she is home. 

I’m getting excited for Summers end of year dance concert on Sunday. Her first ever concert on the BIG stage with full makeup, hair and costumes 😍😍

Well best do dishes, and set up for the morning so it’s goodnight from me. 

Thankfully……

 Thankfully October is over. Since my last weigh in and Drs visit I have been feeling very blahhhh. One of my medications was changed and I don’t think … well I know that it disagreed with me. I was feeling lightheaded, nauseous and had a horrid taste in my mouth constantly.  I unfortunately reacted by eating foods that I shouldn’t, I was just looking for something to take the horrible taste out of my mouth. Anyways, last few days I’ve been feeling a lot better as I’ve stopped taking the meds. I see my Dr in a few weeks so hopefully it can be sorted then. ( Yes, I did a phone consult with her before I stopped the med) And now maybe I can get myself back on track again. I dragged my scales out and I’ve gained just over a kilo,  so I’ve got a few weeks to get me and my body on track before my official weigh in. I hated dragging those scales out as I have fought with them demons for many many years. I had to stop excessive daily weight ins a day to just once a day, then work myself up to once a week. It was so hard but I did it!!  And now I have managed to go weekly to monthly as I try to get this weight off to help my knee. Walking in water has helped me so much, I have really been enjoying it. I’ve made some new friends and some are in the same situation as me and others have had surgery and trying to heal. It’s a long hard battle, but hopefully one I will  eventually win. I’ve been trying for a long time now, years actually. But if nothing else I’m not a quitter !! 

I’ve got my 2 youngest grandchildren here for the night, mum and her bestie have gone to a music festival. Anyways it’s time to get them off their iPads and ready for bed. 

Goodnight….
