big problems :(

my dad went to the docs today and he knew all about my mum and her leg. looks like they're going to do her heart bypass and valve then take her leg off so the doc says. talking to a friend made me think and realise that maybe last thursday was planting the seed, the thought that it could happen and this thursday it's giving her reality that it's happening after it has time to fester.

Nearly done a week! It was my intention to do 7-14 days ss! Now thinking that 7 might be enough. CDC wants me to go up and if I do another day of exercise like this I know I need to move up. Very frightened that 7 days hasn't been long enough to get my head back to the right place!
 
Re: diary of nikki - back to it!

Hey Hun why not do another 3 days, that'll be 10 days, a compromise and you should have your head in the right place by then too. X
 
not sure. had no energy at the gym today to run, i love running. i knew that i'd be zapped as my weight is lower and i used everything i had up and then some. i will take it a day at a time i think.

Mmm see how it goes, I used to find that I had tons of energy when I was exercising but it would take me days and days to recover, whereas now I'm probably working harder at the gym and at Zumba but I don't need recovery time. My trouble is that when I'm exercising I'm one of these people who have to give it 100% I could never go and read a magazine while on the bike.
 
me too, the sweat was dripping off me lol.

As some of you may know I'm a massive biggest loser USA fan and they're re running season 7 on sky. Tonights episode was hard as one of the contestants got angry with his dad for helping him get overweight. He's 18 so most if not all of his gain was during childhood. The reason why this hits hard for me comes back to my parents attitude to food. Both are/were big and they contributed to my poor eating habits and choices I've made consequently as an adult. I'm very frustrated that I'm still struggling with my weight. I loose it and have a healthy exercise regime but it does slide on so easily.

I was talking last night at the hospital to my mum and asking about her diabetes! My grandad, her dad, was also diabetic and i've wondered for a while whether she ever looked at his health problems and thought that that could happen to her! She said that she never thought about it ever and that my grandad was an alcoholic which caused his diabetes. I suppose with me trying to keep myself fit and keeping grip on my weight not letting it get too high I'm keeping myself very aware of MY risks but it is worrying me about how easy it is to put on weight and raise my risks of further health problems!

In my family i have every health problem going. Heart attacks, arithmia, diabetes, strokes, cancer... all very worrying.
 
Re: diary of nikki - back to it!

Hey nikki, I know it is scary having so many potential illnesses, but you are learning from others mistakes (the illnesses that can be prevented) and you're taking control of yours and your childrens health and future. You should be proud of that and enjoy knowing you are being proactive, not worrying you aren't doing enough. You Are doing more than most. My family has a history of high blood pressure, strokes, asthma and diabetes. None of which affect me, though sometimes i do think maybe I deserve to.

What a craaaaaaap day. Car broke down. We've had it 6 weeks! Fuel pump. Getting a hire car but there's nothing big. Lots of terms and conditions regarding use too! Everything's going through me!!! Very depressed that I've been crying loads today. Had an argument with my dad cause dude emptied my purse of cards and I could only find half of them he drove me mad telling me that they werent in his house. Got so bad he made me cry! Yes, they werent in my car or hubby's car or anywhere else but his house near the tv! Grrrrrrrr. Very stressed and my day won't end till I'm in bed tonight. Think I'll go to bed early. Ems is missing tumble tots again 2 lessons missed now cause car hire is coming at 2.30-3pm with BMW series 3! Don't even know if the dog will get in the car! Weekend plans have gone up in flames.

just got a dress from monsoon. tried on the 14 but the thing wouldn't do up at the side, so i got the 16 and can do it up but it's a bit big on the waist area.

just need to find a place to wear it. they had it in red and i know that i really wanted a red dress but i think the black would suit me better and hubby didn't like the red one as much. he was paying so black it is!
 
Love that dress Nikki!!! It's gorgeous, you look fab in it!! I could do with something like that for Vegas but it's too late now lol, I'm all packed and ready to go.

I hope all your stressy times pass quickly, there's nothing worse than feeling like everything is getting on top of you!
