Hi all,
well, another crazy end of week. My grandad got taken into hospital...he was feeling incredibly un well and he's been diagnosed with diabetes. He's in hospital atm cos theyre trying to get his blood sugar level down. I think it should be at around 5 and his is at 27! Basically recently he's been losing weight and drinking loads of water. That should've raised alarm bells as I remember studying diabetes and its symptoms. My uncle was sure he was losing weight because he was drinking so much water, so he kept telling him to stop drinking so much, and my nan was feeding him sweets as they helped to curb the thirst!! May as well have given the poor guy a molotov cocktail. Oh jeez... thankfully my mum went to see him and rushed him to hospital. i don't think I could have dealt with it if we'd have lost someone else so soon!...
I have realised that the second I hear bad news I eat. I heard about grandad and i went straight for the fridge...
Had a bad day today chocolate-wise. However, I'm hoping to go to a tums and bums thing on monday AND me and my cousins have decided to do race for life in June and i'd quite like to jog it all 5k so i'm going to try and organise with my cousin who lives by work that we go jogging as often as we can...
gosh, im tired. right - bed xxx

Good on you for doing the Race for life!! As for your grandad, thank goodness he is okay darl.
Once you have realised your trigger as i do this too, think for something you can do next time it rears it's ugly head. For me it's bad news or when I have too much work to do. I think I'll eat first then start or I'll eat whilst I'm doing it.
Great to see you back babe!
Jim...... WOW want a F@#king difference in yourself!!!! You should be very very pleased with yourself.

Well guys, here I am again wondering what on Earth happened over the weekend. Safe to say it didn't go so well. I appear to have an addiction to chocolate lol. So i'm having a chocolate free week and im giving it up over lent. I never used to be this bad so I have no idea what is going on. Still on the bandwagon, JUST, I keep falling off but I WILL make it. WILL WILL WILL.
Grandad's still in hospital but doing better....he could've gone into a fatal coma if my mum hadn't taken him in when she did. So essentially she saved his life.
Funeral on Wednesday... Life is crazy sometimes, isn't it? x

dont worry about the weekend, I think everyone went a bit mad, plus you have had a lot of your plate.
Glad your grandad is doing better. Hope Wednesday goes as well as can be.
Take Care

hey there honeybunch. so sorry to hear about your grandad. i hope that wednesday brings to life memories and stories that you didn't know about. i was so shocked at my grandma's funeral to hear so many wonderful and hilarious stories about a woman i thought i knew incredibly well that i had never heard before. and i added my own into the mix. although it was, of course, an incredibly sad occasion, it was also a celebration of the wonderful woman she was. i really hope that you can feel that too babes.

Yeah...I totally agree guys!
Yesterday I had such a good day! I discovered a new found kick up the backside; didn't stop all day, and then I got back home at 8pm and went for a walk
I also ate well, which was good, didn't fall into any dastardly binge traps...
Oooh yay, Knights of Cydonia on radio 1...
Anyway, I think much of the kick was when i went into coast to have a look at the dresses. I have a good few weddings this year and thought, well, since I hope to be slimmer I might have a look round for a lovely new dress. I saw one I liked and picked up the 16 through habit - in fact if the 18 had been there I wouldve picked that one up as well. Tried the 16 on, it was too big! Tried the 14 on, it fit just right! Which is incredible, as I used to need an 18 in coast and had always imagined to myself that theyre sizes are quite small. So I was incredibly happy. And now I have the confidence back that I used to that I can absolutely do it, and get into that illusive size 12!
