Morning all!
Man I am whacked...
Abz, thanks for the text love. Much appreciated hun
Yesterday it finally hit me that my lovely Aunty is gone. I suppose it's as soon as you see the coffin really, it makes it all real. Her daughters and grandkids read out poems and they were just so heart wrenching... but it always is, I suppose. And the priest was saying that so many people suffer for long periods of time, waiting for death, but at least she didn't go through that, and neither did her husband...and now they're together again.
Anyway, I made the mistake of wearing contact lenses...they suck the juice from your eye in so that they dont dry out. I knew I was crying but when I went to wipe the tears away, they were gone! Lol... I'm not sure it's a good thing or a bad thing, all I know is that my eyes were damn painful by the end of things.
In better news, my grandad is looking MUCH better. Last Sunday he honestly looked like a dying man. Now he looks just like he used to, except with almost no teeth...lol, i shouldn't laugh.. he had his falsies in some tissue and the nurses chucked them away! Poor guy...
Anyway, diet wise I didn't stray too much yesterday. And even though all I wanted to do was go home and binge on chocs with some tea, you'll be pleased to know I resisted the urge. But after starting the week on a high, exercising twice a day, keeping to the diet, apparently I've put weight on!! Argh. Well, that was my weigh in from yesterday morning anywho. But still, I will announce my WI on Fri, I just refuse to move tickers backwards... I have to start keeping the weekly check again.
Everyone good?

destination .... SLIMSVILLE!
Weekly check does help. And the gain will just be your body getting back into gear and thinking, 'hey are we going to be eating soon or are we in the desert and we need to hold onto everything', just because you increased your food recently.
I'm glad you were able to hear lovely memories and truths about your aunty, Elle.

Carpe diem, baby!
Yep, you've been stressed, let those cortisol levels calm down before you consider thinking about the scales again...

I know cortisol can make you bigger around the middle, spare tyre like, but how much does it affect your weight. I have had a lot of stress lately and wonder if that could be affecting me

I think cortisol levels affect training, energy levels and weight loss Taz...we may be hitting on the reason for the slow down perhaps?

Hmmmm quite possibly. So how can you lower cortisol levels other than being less stressed?

Carpe diem, baby!
In the link I posted, it has some great ideas, but possibly stuff we are already doing...more personal time is defo a good point though, time out for yourself...
