This week has been all about regaining ground in my efforts to get healither. While the food plan in under control (almost) and I’m dealing with the motivation issues, finally I’m getting back into exercise. I’m physically tired because I got to the gym for 45 mins 4 times this week and skated most of [...]

Yes, another rant. It’s been a while. After posting for a couple of days I think I’m entitled to be a bit cranky. However, be warned I’m going to cover a topic I’m not usually so open about.

………………and weekend hijinx. I had an early birthday on Sunday- BBQ and cake with the inlaws. I got some lovely loot- gorgeous glasses and some new earrings. I ate too much again, and had some lovely champagne. Today I went to the cardiologist. She’s confirmed what the radiographer and GP had said, the drugs are [...]

If I take you backwards through this weekend, at least that way you’ll end up [...]

While I’m still struggling to take it all in, I’m trying to approach everything positively. I had to see the dietician this morning, nothing really new- but I’m going to give it a try, even if at least to have something to show the doctor in 6 weeks to show I’m trying, that I want [...]

My plan for this week was to try to be more positive about things, that lasted approxmiately 8 hours. You see, I went for my annual cardiologist vist today, expecting an all clear, a little lecture about my weight and possibly the ok to look at starting a family. Instead my little world’s been put [...]
