........winter!! Tomorrow is a holiday here in Iceland, as we celebrate the first day of summer! :) I think that's a really nice thing. Funnily enough, we often have snow on the first day of summer, though... but not this year, they say we are going to have some nice weather. I got the boys some little summer presents earlier, which I am going to wrap later. That's a custom here, that the children always get a little present to bed on the first day of summer. Got them really cute, matching shirts and dishes with "Dora the explorer". They really like those shows.
I am doing fine on the food front. Not overly well, but fine. I have a sore throat again and loads to do so I am fine with it. As soon as I feel better again I will be at it full time. Right now, all I can think of is that hubby is coming on Friday. We are all so excited. 3 months may not sound like much, but they are when you don't see your hubby/daddy for all that while..... the boys are going to love having him around!! And I of course, too :)
Weigh in was a bit bad today, but I knew it would be, so it's not a problem. I accept that it's because I slid off the road a bit and it'll be fine again. I am already working on myself again, so things are good!
I feel terribly tired today.... really, it seems those steriod tablets are still making my life a bit hard. So I plan to write a bit in here, finally check up on my EP-friends again and then I will probably have an early night. My baby boy is pretty ill and I had a bad night of it last night, which is probably also a big reason for my being so tired right now.
I am not going to weigh in tomorrow. It's TOM and I know I have been naughty this week, so I am going to save myself from that :) I think. May change my mind about that tomorrow, and this might simply be my tiredness speaking.
In any case i managed to pick myself up again and am doing good!! :) Yay me!! ANd I am really excited as my hubby will arrive here on Friday afternoon. It'll be soooo good to have him around, we haven't seen each other since January and the boys and I miss him greatly. I know he has a pizza planned for us while he's here, but that's ok, I can live with that. :)
Ouch!! Did you hear that?? That was me, thumping upon the ground after a very bummed out weekend. Well, not all that but I did fall of the wagon. Controlled fall, no casualties, but still the same, a fall. Various reasons for it, too. Dear old TOMmy boy decided to make an appearance, I have to take some steroid tablets which make me firstly really tired and sleepy and secondly it seems they make me hungry, too. My darling baby boy had his birthday on Sunday, he's now 2 years old and I just CAN'T believe it. Where has time gone to, anyways. I can remember his birth in detail still. Well, can remember that of my older one, too and he will be 4 this summer.
Anyways. So, my sins this weekend were chocolate cookies, a chocolate liqorice bar and some soda pop. All very yummy and at least I very much enjoyed them. And needed them, too, after all the sickness lately TOM just took me down. Like nothing.
But it's not a problem. I'll just get up, wipe my mouth and get at it again. I have done so well the last few weeks, I am not going to let this ruin anything for me. And I have been really good today, making good food choices, just have to get in a bit more water. And I can't wait to get to exercise again.
Of course, the sinus infection has taken a huge toll of me. The x-rays confirmed what I knew all along. That I have a really bad infection in the left side of my face and nothing seems to be working, so I may have to go to see a specialist and have him "wash them out". Somehow that sound of that is a little painful. Yuck.
But I am here and I am on the wagon again. I knew I would have fall-out times and I have planned for those, too.
I have a happy face, I feel happy and content and I am going to do this.
Have the arrival of my hunny to look forward to on Friday, he'll be with us for 10 days....and TOMmy will have left by then........... lucky me, Kelly, huh
beautiful!! I just came home from a night at the theatre, my parents took me out to see a piece simply called "love". Wonderful! Takes place in a senior retirement home and it was funny and sweet and sad and heartbreaking..... Really, I still have tears in my eyes and a smile on my lips. I absolutely love going to the theatre, it is such food for the soul. I would have loved to just go to the actors to say thank you for a beautiful evening. My soul sent a thank you out and I hope they just felt it :)
25 days OP!! And I feel happy about it. And good. And thankful.
It's a beautiful world and I am just glad to be alive in it!
and I lost another 1.3 kg's. That´s 2.86 lbs lost this week. So I weigh 92.2 kg´s - 202,8 lbs. Onederland coming closer....... I am happy about it, I have already more than reached my goal this month!! But I am also pretty sad. I am still at home and I really don't know what is going on with me...... got up this morning and had a shower and everything, wanting to go to work, but when I had dressed and done my hair I was again all shaky and sweaty and the left side of my head hurts again..........
So, the weigh in was good, but now I really just want to get back to being healthy again.
Well, it turned out I didn't go to work yesterday..... nor today, for that matter. I think my sinusitis skipped sites and the left side of my face and head has been aching terrible since Sunday night. I really don't know what's going on with that. So went to see a doctor and he swapped my medication, giving me a new dose of terribly expensive things *sigh* and said he'd have to have me get an x-ray by the end of this week if it doesn't get better.
In any case, I really want to go to work tomorrow, at least a part of the day as this really is starting to stink..... but I realize that i was in no state of working yesterday and today wasn't much better. Funny, really, as I have no fever anymore, but like my mom said that doesn't say it all. She did tell me I look a lot better now than I did yesterday, so I guess we are on the right way, at least. So I will have an early night, get a pain killer and hope I can sleep so I can at least go a part of the day tomorrow. There's bound to be a pile of stuff waiting on my desk by now.
Hope everyone is doing well. I have my weigh-in tomorrow and don't expect miracles.... but we'll see what happens.
21 days OP!! Going to start counting in weeks now.... 3 weeks, that is so amazing!
Anyways, here I am, somewhat restored to normal health. This flu really got me very badly, I have just been lying round, trying to get a moment's rest whenever I could get it, and simply concentrating on getting through my days with the boys. Thankfully, my nephew celebrated his birthday today and my parents and brothers took the boys along with them. They were so excited about it and I really didn't want to disappoint them by not going, so I was glad I got substitutes to go for me. This way everybody was helped. The boys had their fun and I crashed into bed and slept :)
Dietwise, I have drunk gallons and gallons of water in the past few days, small wonder with the temps I was running.... exercise wise the most strenuous things I did was hang up some laundry..... I'll have to slowly build up my routine soon. But right now I am more occupied with not having a fall-back on this, I really can't have that happening. :) So again, it's a thing of compromises and choices. And I am trying my best to always make the right ones.
Tomorrow I will go back to work..... Hope that will work out well!
mom!! Seriously, she is the best. This morning at 8 am she came and took both my boys, brought my big boy to kindergarten and watched my baby boy. He'll have gone to a supervised playground, which he loves, a part of the day, but all the same.......... she's even going to give them dinner before she brings them home later on. Isn't she the best?? This has meant my being able to sleep more or less all day. I am running a temperature of over 39.5° celcius / 103° fahrenheit and feel absolutely miserable. And painkillers don't even get it down..... So this might take a bit.........
That being said I am now day 18 OP and counting!! Basically I am almost only drinking apple juice thinned with water and trying to get the odd bite down now and then.....
I am sorry I don't get round to visiting right now, I hope tomorrow will be better. I hear my bed calling me so see you soon!!
......... got me. Bigtime. I have a nasty sinus infection, my throat hurts, my bones ache like somebody just hit me with a car and my head feels the size of a large balloon and hurts like...... won't say it here!. Geez!! Did that HAVE to happen. Oh, did I happen to mention that I am also running a pretty high fever and was put on antibiotics?? *grumbles* I am really tired of getting sick all the time, but it seems loads of people are crashing down with this right now.
I guess this will mean a bit of time off from my exercising..... know well enough to know that rest is the only thing that works right now. Hate to admit it but it's true. Will stay OP with my eating anyhow... I am really so proud of myself, this is day 17 OP! So the sickies are not going to keep me from that.
Well, my eyes are not really working with me so I'd better hit the sack and get some rest while the boys are still at daycare...... I will try to write as much as I can, and my spirits will be up again soon, too, I promise!
Today is weigh in and I just couldn´t wait.......... so here goes:
My weight this morning is 93.5 kg's, which means I have lost 1,5 kg's - that´s 3,3 lbs - since April first!! YAY; ME!! It also means that I am only 300 grams away from my April goal.... :) And coming closer to ONEderland, too. My weight is now 205,7 lbs. I am really excited!! When I started this at easter, I was 97 kg, that is 213,4 lbs. So I think I am doing really well and am quite proud of myself.
On a bit of a downside, I feel a cold and a little sinus infection creeping up. I hope that it won't become anything much, but if it does, that is just something I will have to accept.
Will write again later on today, but had to get in my loss :)
