Hello my lovelies - how I've missed you!
The horrible chest infection has gone, happily (I lost my voice completely for four days!), but I am constantly knackered and have put on more weight, leading to more puffing etc as I walk, bad sleep, aching knees and an overall sense of feeling cr*p. My sick friend is really sick, not expected to last more than another week or two, and my boss is fine one day, then a bas**rd the next, and I need to be mentally better equipped to deal with it all - SOOOO it's time to climb back on the wagon!
Anyhoo I went to see my new (slim, my heart sank) GP last week - but blow me down with a feather, she recommended....wait for it.....low carb!
She says she's 100% behind it, studies show it's much more effective for the morbidly obese and keeping the weight off, etc, so I'm going back the week after next to get my proper check up. I did really well on low carb four years ago - loved all the cooking and preparing things from scratch but fell into a huge bread hole and took months to emerge blinking - so I need to get equipped to deal with that too - via low carb bread (which you can buy from Waitrose now) and some stern talking to. I've also rejoined the Atkins section of Minis.
It might seem crazy starting just 5 weeks out from Christmas, but you know what it's like - when your head gets in the right place, you've just got to go with it. I'm starting properly on Monday so I can get cooking over the weekend. Anyway I'm back now, and looking forward to hearing how you all are xxx
Still sending the boss lots of flicks though!
