I have a question. I can't find any Wado classes near me, I'm happy to start at the bottom and regrade but I'm not sure if learning another style will confuse me. Are the Katas etc the same across different styles? Having never looked into it before I don't know, I know what the basics are in Japanese but not sure if its the same across the board. Am I just going to end up a confused mess if I join a different club.

 

[Starlit_Cazza]

Yeah you might end up a bit confused, I am! The one I am doing now is Korean, I have done a Chinese and a Japanese based martial art before and the are differences and I am getting a bit confused! But I didn't get very far before - only did a year of Ju jitsu and 6 months of some chinese type kickboxing thing. The stances are different. But the differences are small, so far anyway! But then it is nearly 6 years since I last did any kind of martial art!!!! Think the answer is, most places offer free trial lessons. Go along and see what you think!

 

[Surfhunny]

I might ask my Dad what he thinks (he's a black belt - I'm in awe). I wonder if it'll be less confusing if I stick to Japanese? It's been a good five years since I did any but reading my old grading syllabus brought it all back. Food for thought anyway!

Oh and I've just noticed where I've lost some weight....... The back of my neck, there's no longer a pad of fat covering my spine at the back of my neck, I can feel the vertebrae again. Discovered this because I was rubbing my sore swollen glands in my neck. Small victories!

Hi everyone, I've been offline for a few days as had a lot going on at work but have just caught up on the forums.

Hope you're all doing ok, sounds like there's a few of us having a tough time, the great thing is from all your updates you all sound really determined to stick with it and succeed... This is why I love this group, the support you all show for each other is brilliant.

Sal - hope you're feeling a bit brighter now and Aunt Flo is bu88ering off at long last! I'm sure you'll feel better come the weekend.

Thanks for all your advice re changing consultant, I have moved to anther CD now who is just lovely, she does weekends which makes it easier for me and is supportive and actually motivates me. Best thing I've done.. Weigh day now changed to Saturday, had a good week and feeling really good so can't wait for WI this week

Hi Netty glad the new consultant has worked well for you! I have also changed and am much happier! Good luck for your weigh in x

My voice has just about gone, had the shift from hell so far, this is the first time (nearly 6 hours in) that I've actually sat down, and I'm sure it's only temporary. The rest of the shift should be interesting with no voice. The patients can't hear me and are making me shout but nothing comes out. Tricky. My throat is killing me :cry: but the rest of the aches are under control.

Quite appropriate that is post is number 999.

That make me laugh poor you! Hope you start to feel better! X wow 999 post get you! Not near that yet! A few hundred to go! Does anything change when you get to 1000?

 

[Theresa1966]

My scales are indicating another 2lb down this morning?! Not convinced for some reason!!! We shall see on Tuesday I guess!!!!

Hope this is the case Hun! It's funny I wish the weeks away till Wed weigh in day! X

 

[Theresa1966]

4lbs off for me this week, it'll do.

That great hun! Posted on your diary good loss! X

 

[Theresa1966]

See thAts the trouble years ago we all used to come in 15 minutes early to relieve and handover, it was an unspoken thing we just did it. One of the ones I was having a go about is old school so she should know better but she comes in on the dot of 8. I was actually going to remove that tweet because I knew it would inflame but it seems I wasn't quick enough.

The night shift was horrific, a patient collapsed on my dragging me to the floor with him, I've cracked my elbow on the floor, theatre was running all night so we were a staff member down for most of the early hours, and it was just busy busy so being relieved a little early would've been nice this morning. I feel bad now but I'm sure that only because I've upset people (who probably weren't the ones who should be upset) and because work will be uncomfortable on Monday but I'll just have to take it on the chin. It was my own fault I was meant to be putting it on my private diet twitter account and in my tiredness it went on my public one. I've removed all work related tweets now so unless anyone has been sad enough to take screen shots of the tweets there's no evidence if them.

God if anyone found this site I'd be in for the serious high jump!

Bless you sounds like you hard a hard shift especially when you are not well! Hope your elbow is ok?

I think as you say the people who take it to heart probably are not the ones who are helpful to others I would not worry to much!

At the end of the day you are entitled to your opinion Hun don't worry too much! X

 

[Theresa1966]

Hi ladies you do put me to shame with your being good and participating in some exercise I have not started yet! Really must look into it as need to tone up my baggy arms a belly! Not sure that that would do it though I think only way to sort them out is to save and go under the knife!

Doing well still being 100% and looking forward to hopefully a better loss next weigh in on Wed but also realistic as only have 12lb to lose now so probably going to slow down!

Whats everyone up to this weekend? I don't have much planned may go shopping Sunday to see if I can buy something new to wear getting fed up wearing same clothes to work!

Hope everyone is ok tonight x

 

[Surfhunny]

Oooh I don't know, it was the 999th post in this thread. Lol I must be pushing 5000 actual posts, been around that long. My elbow is a bit sore got the tiniest bruise but its ok, could've been worse at least the patient wasn't hurt!! I've stopped worrying about work now. If people want to get hett up over something like that let them, I don't care. I'm not there to make best friends, I have plenty of my own!

I'm on call all weekend so the only thing I've got planned is staying in watching the rugby. Might venture out but not too far in case I get "The Call"!

I'm not putting anyone to shame, mine is just talk of exercise, if only that was as effective as doing it. Talk yourself slim.... I could be thin in no time

 

[Starlit_Cazza]

Off to cinema in the morning (assuming I can move!) to see Wreck-it Ralph - more excited than Chloe I think!!! Then Chloe has a party to go to in the afternoon. At some point I need to fit in some washing. Exciting!!!! Hoping to catch up with my sister too as still have her birthday presents!

That made me laugh so much yes wish I could think the last 12lb off!

Yes that's the attitude to have its not worth eating yourself up over!

Enjoy your weekend x

Sounds fun not been to the cinema in a long time! Hope you are not aching too much tomorrow x

 

[Surfhunny]

I can't believe how much better I feel now my period has finally ended! It made me so so miserable and cranky! Now it's gone I'm relieved. I still feel ill, sore throat has now progressed to a cough, which hurts my throat every time I have to cough. At least I'm off for a couple of days.

Also the scales are on the move in the right direction again. I need to lose 2lb more to be back in the 14s again!! If I hadn't allowed myself to go off the rails after my holiday last September I'd only be 2st from target now instead of 4st. But never mind, I partly blame Cerazette for that and that chapter is over, never to be repeated! Just need to concentrate on the task in hand!

 

[Starlit_Cazza]

Well... absolutely shocking nights sleep. I took a tramadol as I was in rather a lot of pain, and it is safe to say that for whatever reason tramadol and sleep are not compatible for me!!! Went to sleep at 11, up at 1, and didn't really sleep after that!!! Just don't get it, tramadol has always made me sleep like a baby?! Maybe it is just the energy/adrenaline boost from all the exercise?

Don't ache as much as I thought I might...so far! Feeling very positive this morning, and feel so good for starting some exercise. Can't explain it Theresa, just got 5 weeks in and had this urge to start exercising!!!! But I know I have to do something I enjoy or I won't stick to it. No point me joining a gym - I'd go twice, sign up for a year, then never go again!!!! Trust me, done that more times than I am prepared to admit to! Also helps that it is something Chloe and I can do together, because she loves it and that will push me to keep going!!! Also I realllllllllllllly want to be a black belt one day!!!!!

Hurrah that your period has finally buggered off Sal!!!!! Hopefully you will start to see some marvellous losses again now! Wii fit tells me I have lost another 1lb, but then when you go to the weight chart it still shows the same weight from yesterday, so guess I have lost nearly 1lb maybe? Obviously Wii rounds up and down as only works in whole pounds. Hmmm. Might have to invest in some proper scales

 

[Lily]

Well, I celebrated too soon.

Pound went back on overnight meaning that this week's official loss is a stonking 2lbs. Which after last week's 1lb loss is disappointing to say the least.

I won't adjust my stats - I did after all glimpse a lower weight yesterday. Maybe it's just as well I've been daily weighing this week...

Don't think I'm doing anything wrong. Well, I know I'm not.

Grrrrrrrrrrr. That is all.

Sorry you didn't sleep - but it's great that you aren't too achey this morning. Maybe that's what I need to do - find some sort of enjoyable exercise...

Tramadol sends me loopy, I was given it in A&E when I tore my calf muscle and I was seeing things and felt like my body was detached very odd.

Lily I know the feeling, where does the rogue lb come from?? It'll go soon enough! I've been doing the maths again, (I need to stop it) at my rate of loss I'm not going to get done until the end of June, not the end of May like I'd hoped. It's only a month extra but it's not nice! Why do I insist of crunching the numbers? It never works out how I imagine and the set back always gets me down. Why can't I just take one week at a time???

In fact I'll just focus on getting into the 14's then I'll shift focus onto reaching 2st loss. I need to stop looking too far ahead.

It's pants, isn't it? I am stupidly disappointed - I should know better. It's not going to send me off the rails or anything daft like that, but I could really do with seeing 5lbs off next week.

Think I'm looking at August right now. Still, I'll be able to buy a nice winter coat next Autumn.
