Laura's Diary - My first -7lbs! :-)

[Lozbo]

Thanks Rach and Kally.
WI was on Saturday and I lost 2lbs

Still seem to be really busy lately, but work is starting to get a bit less hectic now which is good!

On Friday evening we went to my friends house for her birthday. It was a really nice evening. Had a bit to drink though, but all pointed Didn't get home till gone 2am so didn't wake up till late on Saturday. Then it was my mother-in-laws birthday so we went round to their house with OH's brother, his wife, and our nephew, and sister, her husband, and neice. It was really lovely to have the whole of their family together for the afternoon.
I then spent the whole of Sunday just chilling out and watching the footie.

Am off to see Eclipse tonight with OH and my best friend and her OH.

I thought it was really good! I've read the books so I knew what the storyline was but enjoyed the movie! x

The weekends seem to go by so quickly! Good thing is that I've got Thurs and Fri off this week...bad thing is I got hospital appointments for tests on both days! :sigh:

I had a pretty relaxing weekend which was nice. We went to my friends house on Friday evening and played some really old board games which was fun! Then on Saturday we went over to our local park for a bit. Sunday I spent the whole morning cleaning the house and washing and ironing etc. Then me and my sister decided to watch both the Ghostbuster movies

WI on Saturday and I lost 1lb, which I'm still happy with as it's going in the right direction.

Thanks Jess...the support from the people here really helps! xx

So another Monday morning rolls around again. Had last Thurs and Fri off holiday, but had hospital appointments on both days. The endocrinologist that I saw a few weeks ago referred me to have some tests done just to rule out some things and make sure that my symptoms were just from the PCOS. I had to have something injected into me and then blood tests half hr later and then an hr later on Thursday. Then take a tablet that night to suppress something and have more blood taken Fri morning.
After all that we went to our friends house on the Friday and went with her to pick up our Godson from nursery. It was really nice as he was grinning like mad when he saw us. It was a 2.5 mile walk to the nursery and then another 2.5miles back again, so a nice long walk. Stopped off at the ponds on the way back and we fed the squirrels and ducks. Then we had a nice chinese (all pointed ) takeaway.
Then I had a really lazy Saturday and Sunday. Did a bit of housework but not much really, just chilled out.

WI result on Saturday was -1lb, so still going the right way!

Thanks Rach!
The test results normally take anywhere up to 2 weeks. They said that if it was anything urgent then I would hear in that time, if not then it will all be discussed at my next appointment in December.
I'm useless like that - I can never remember many details! Although the Dr didn't really give me many details last week! xx

Got home from work yesterday and watched a Inside Man film with OH and sister. Then had bath and went to bed and watched some Family Guy. Have really bad TOTM pains at the mo so feel really sluggish. I'm such a wimp when it comes to TOTM as with me it only happens like twice a year.

Sorry I've been absent for the last week or so, I had last week off holiday from work so haven't been online really.
Had two STS WI results, which I'm OK with really as although I've stuck to my points, as I've been on holiday, I haven't really eaten very healthily as we've been out a bit. Also I sprained my ankle so haven't been able to exercise which I've really missed, hoping to start that up again tonight!

It was my niece's 2nd birthday on Saturday so we went round the the in-laws to meet up with OH's sister and our niece. It was lovely as we got to see her open some cards and our present. We got her an Aquadraw, which is a mat with some pens/stamps that you fill with water, then when she draws on the mat the water makes it turn rainbow colours. It's really pretty and she sat there and played with it for like an hour!

Apart from that I spent most of the weekend relaxing, sorted through my candles and essential oils which was quite fun actually!

It was homemade and so yummy, will get the recipe from OH and put it on here later. It was basically pork, butterbeans, celery with grated potato and carrot topping.

Had a very early night last night as I was so tired yesterday and haven't been getting much sleep the past couple of nights...definitely made up for it last night though!

Sorry I completely forgot to get the pork and butterbean back recipes from OH...will try to remember it for tomorrow.
Work has just been so hectic that I haven't had time to get online.

Hopefully this week will be quieter. Am doing the new late shift this week for the first time. The late shift used to be 9-5 but now it is 10-6 so will see how that goes. Everyone else doesn't like it much.

Had a really chilled out weekend. Got a lot of housework and sorting out done but that's about it really.
