::mOd-kArEn79's DiArY::

ive just got back from swimming too x
 
I'm supposed to be going tomorrow if it's safe enough to drive! We've got blizzards at the moment
 
managed 50 lengths today :D

just had 2 bean burgers for dinner and found out they're 8 bloody sins each! arrrrrrrrrrrrrgh! i think i've unintentionally gone over my sins every day this week.
 
I went waay over my Syns last week but when I thought about it, I had most of those after going to the gym while my metabolism was on high speed so that must be why it didn't make a difference!
 
welllllllllllllllll the whole week i haven't gone below 15 sins and the highest i went to was 18 i think and i've lost 3.5lbs :D

i'm very happy that and i think exercising has definately helped.
 
was completely off plan yesterday as i knew dad was going to GP in the morning about his breathing. he has already been twice in the past fortnight and been given 2 lots of anti-b's and steroids. i told him to insist on tests and he knows it's not an infection.

i rang from work at 12pm and he had gone straight to hospital for tests on his heart. the battery on my phone died and i burst into tears, so my clinical mananger sent me home. once i was home i rang again and he explained he was coming home but GP thinks it's his heart - he already had a bi-pass and mechanical heart valve done 11 years ago and 3 years ago had a £22k!!! ICD unit fitted.

i waited at home and ate 3 slices white bread with cheese and coleslaw and a big bag of kettle chips! then he came home with mum and was knackered but happy. somehow he'd managed to have blood tests, an x-ray and ECG then he wandered up to the cardiac ward and saw a nurse and 2 specialists!!!!!!!!!!!! he had no appointment, but they were brilliant and reassured him he would be fine.

i was so relieved when he got home as 3 years ago when they fitted the ICD they said the next step was a heart transplant! but i think the ICD must have advanced even further as he will be going in and they're going to adjust the blood flow to his heart. they don't even have to operate.

so after all the stress we ended up with chinese! i had a huge plate of chips and spring rolls. then dan came home a few hours later and he ordered a chinese - i had a chip butty and more spring rolls! WHOOPS!
 
Awww ((((((hugs)))))) Karen, when there is stress we automatically go for some comfort food and something easy. Glad your dad is fine x
 
thanks taz - was quite a relief as i thought we were heading down the heart transplant road!

saturday went ok until dan came in with a HUGE tray of ferrero rocher and a carrot cake - yum!

sunday was better - i did 60 lenghts of the pool in the afternoon and another 60 today, but i've just blown it by eating biscuits, crisps and an ice cream. i'm not even hungry though so don't understand. in fact my dinner made me bloated!
 
Ahhh the munchies! I did the same on Sunday, we went out to dinner and I was stuffed after but still found room for a shockingly calorific dessert!
 
It's the cold weather!!!! thats my theory, when it's sunny and warm again we won't be thinking that a good old munch will warm, make us feel better, lol. Happy to hear your dad's ok Karen xxx
 
well i finished last night off with 4 slices of white buttered toast!!!!!!!!! what's wrong with me? ....maybe i'm due on!

been good today so far and am contemplating a swim at 8pm....if i can drag myself there!
 
i did it!!! i went at 8pm last night and did 60 lengths.... i slept like a baby last night but i'm knackered today.

i'm working 8:30am until 8pm with an hour off at 4pm to go swimming! AGAIN!!! i really need to work hard as i've been quite naughty all week apart from a couple of days.
 
Flipping heck lady, your shifts make me feel tired just by reading about it!! Glad your Dad is ok hun. xxx
 
lol - i work whenever i like as long as i do 37.5 hours a week. i'm working extra today so i can finish at 12 on friday to start my holiday early. ;)

just went for a swim in my break (as i ate whilst working - clever eh?) and the pool was packed with families. i'm a bit dim and didn't think people would be on holiday in the hotel during half term. was going to attempt to just swim around everyone but there were no lockers left, so i drove back to work. bit miffed as it's WI tommorrow. if i'm not too knackered at 8pm i'll go home via the pool, but i'm not making any promises!!!
