Things ok, just trying to keep life as normal as possible. Reckon we're in for a long haul, so each day that we're not involved with hospital stuff; we must make the most of.

Time to catch up....
Dietwise, ok up to today, back to 12st 4lb this morning after last weekend. Pleased about that but now I've blown it. Not sure why but have eaten loads of biscuits and bread today and a pack
cross with myself but will move on AGAIN tomorrow.
MIL ok after her biopsy yesterday, they were keeping her in overnight cos they thought she lived alone. Apparently it's ok to leave 6 hours after the procedure if you live with a responsible adult.......not sure why they let her out. Me? responsible
Anyhow she's behaved herself, she got up at 7am but I nagged her back to bed and she stayed there until 3pm. Waiting on the results then depending on the results she may need a PET(?) scan before they make a decision about her treatment plan.
Have told the kids that Nana is poorly and undergoing tests, didn't mention the C word cos I think it's often interpreted as 'going to die' but I have been honest without (I hope) frightening them too much, they know she's been ill before and witnessed her suffering through chemo etc but they were younger and less aware then. Difficult isn't it? Trying to get the balance right.

Sorry Cheb..................forgot to ask how Rita was we, were so busy and i was trying to hide from the chocolate out back.
Just read that Rita was allowed home...tell me who is the responsible adult!!!! in you household is it Robyn.
plus the chocolate was too much of temptation so instead of that i had beef and mayonnaise roll then crunchy nut cornflake then a Indian takeaway (small one tho) Could i have just binged then never done that before feel guity now.

Hello
Must have been something about yesterday, full moon? something in the water? Not sure but we all seemed to be thrown off the wagon. DH had a bread roll and never cheats usually, Supergran had.....well we know about that, my CDC had pizza and crisps; and me? Well I just picked at everything, 2 packs followed by bread and butter, sweets and choc and cake, how healthy NOT
Ok so far today,2lt of water and 2 packs. Been to the gym, did my first Spin class, quite enjoyed it but did panic when it was time to dismount as I honestly thought that my legs would buckle and I'd drop to the floor! Had a quick tea before doing a Fitness Yoga class, I love yoga but not been to this class before. It was as I expected really, not particularly Yogic at all, but an exercise class using yoga postures quite dynamically in sequences. It was ok and I may do it some Sundays but not every one cos I didn't get home to Mr Grumpy til 12.30.
Off to play American Football with DS on the Wii. sure I won't be playing for long, he'll soon throw me off the team cos I'm sure I'll be as terrible at this as I am at tennis and golf
Off out with the dogs after that and then I'll need to tackle the ironing monster that's lurking in the laundry room ready to attack

Spinning was hard but I quite liked it cos you don't have to concentrate on a routine like in a aerobic class, I have zero co-ordination. I did take it quite easy compared to the rest but it was hard enough for me. My legs are killing me already so dread to think what I'll be like in the morning. Definitely won't be running for records!

Hello
Still not managed a full 100% SS day yet So cross with myself, weight sitting at 12st4lb. Not going up so obviously I'm mantaining beautifully....don't suppose 2 or 3 packs a day supplemented by sweets and bread is the healthiest way to mantain though! Besides which 12 weeks tomorrow I'm off to Dubai with the girls and I AM NOT GOING TO BE 12ST + by then!
Don't know why I can't get my head in the right place but I have to find the answer and soon.
Still aching from my Spin class on Sunday, does that mean it's done me good or have I just tortured myself?
Spent the morning fighting with the blinds in my kitchen, I thought it would be a good idea to clean them. Why do I always forget how flipping impossible it is to clean them? Ended up taking them down and giving them a bath, scrubbing each slat then drying them individually. Hung them back up and they look worse than ever, all streaky. At least the dust was evenly distributed before!!
DH has a Dungeons & Dragons Group meeting here tonight, just made a fruit flan for them, hopefully they'll not notice that I was actually palming off a slightly stale flan case
I'm off out for girls night, going to Supergran's for fizzy water and coffee and plenty of gossip. Going to take my holiday pics from our last trip to Dubai, hopefully I'll be motivated to stay on track....I do not want to have more pics of me looking like that in Dubai!
Hope you're all ok, just off to catch up with some threads.
