Will get there one day!
Had a busy weekend, had indoor BBQ Saturday night and didn't drink too much, food was lovely, some SW some not!
Yesterday we watched the Olympic Torch which was good, walked for miles.
I'm not doing my Pods properly as haven't been writing down positives last few days and also not been listening to myself and have eaten even when not hungry, have still be listening to the pods so need to get back on it.
Seen consultant today, bit confusing as he seems to think I need surgery but needs to speak to someone else, doesn't help that half was done at private hospital and half at NHS as now need to request results from Private, if the other guy agrees I need surgery then he'll send off the form, if not I've got no idea what's happening!

I'm starting with the positives again from today, although I've still been listening I have noticed they haven't been working but that's my fault for not focusing on my goals and writing positives. I'm not giving up though as I know they work as they proved that at the beginning. I'm going to weigh tomorrow but expecting a gain due to lack of exercise and not concentrating on food properly this week, just binging but I need to go to get back on track, still won't follow SW 100% but will meal plan as that's where I fall down and binge.
I hope they sort the hip soon, the accident was 10 months ago, at the beginning I was a bit blasé as presumed it would get better, now I'm starting to worry that if it doesn't start improving now it'll get worse with age, they've already said I have the start of arthritis and my knees are killing me too which I think is because I can't always walk properly with my hip. I'd rather avoid an operation so let's hope the other consultant has some ideas of something else we can do.. Good news is I can still exercise, it hurts but at least they know what they're working with x

Hi all, I wrote a post yesterday but it's vanished! Will post tomorrow as need sleep now.
Have been lurking on your diaries but not posted as feel guilty if I don't have time to do everyone's, don't want to offend anyone.
Hope you're well and had a good weekend x

Guilt about anything isn't good... Don't fret about posting/ not posting... You have a life babe and like me you are busy living it... This is a tool to help us and should be treated as such, not a must do job to add to our lists... I enjoy coming on Mini's but I learned a while back that it is better if you come on when you can and enjoy chatting to people when you do, rather than put pressure on yourself to come on when you haven't really got time... One thoughtful, meaningful post means more than ten rushed ones... Hugs... Chelle xx

I really must do that, I just felt that people would be upset if I commented on one persons diary and then didn't get a chance to go on to there's too, but perhaps they won't!
Sometimes I can take a sneak peak and have a read but don't get a chance to post as much as I want.
Thanks for the advice because I do love it on here and don't want it to become a burden x

I thought I'd give you an update on my neighbours that we had a bit of a barny with earlier in the year. We haven't socialised with them but when we see them over the fence or out the front we chat and catch up, don't feel guilty not inviting them to things anymore as our lives are so different and friendships change, it's not just us though as they are like it with our best friends (they live the other end of the block of four houses).
Well I could have killed them the other night.. If they didn't kill each other first!
The walls are paper thin here so we literally can hear everything, talking, hair dryer, toilet flushing.. Everything! It's rather annoying but we are considerate.. They are not!
They started rowing, it got really heated and about midnight there was loads of banging around, I thought she might have been getting the sofa bed out, it was so loud and they were shouting at each other then just before 1am she stormed out with a wheelie bag in tow, he then was on the phone to someone crying and screaming, this went on for ages, it was so horrible hearing it.
Before listening to the chillpod I would have been going mad but I just calmly sat there, didn't know what to do but I wasn't going mad, just took it in my stride, even though I was thinking "I am going to be tired after so little sleep!"
I finally got to sleep sometime after 2am despite the noise and had to be up at 3.30am for work so was very exhausted all day.
The moral of this story is that despite lacking writing down my positives I must be doing something right as I stayed really calm and didn't retaliate.
Had my parents and sister around for a BBQ yesterday, was lovely to see them and had mainly SW food, I'm trying to encourage them to join but they're not having it at the moment! My sister looked at the latest magazine and looked at a ladies "before" photo and asked if she looked like that, I said yes, she didn't like it but it was true, she said she still wasn't motivated to try it herself, she only lasted a couple of months at the beginning of the year as she says she doesn't like the food!
There's nothing I can do, she needs to do it for herself but I was trying to ask them to help me as I'm struggling at the moment and I said if all four of us did it we could support each other.. My mum sounded quite tempted so we'll see what happens!
Today I'm off but we're having a team quiz/BBQ at a colleagues house so hope the weather cheers up later! X

How awful with those neighbours, I can sympathize totally, Lavvy leaves at the end of the month, he has bought a caravan and has started to move his stuff... But he too is inconsiderate, he thinks nothing to coming in at all ours and playing music or playing with the dog and making her bark, then shouting at her... But when you hear someone fighting it is worse, as you aren't sure what to do... I hope you don't have to put up with them long, maybe if they split they'll move... xx
