Hey guys
Sorry i havent been round much the last few days. Have been kind of vague. Sorry I haven’t posted on your blogs – I’ll do it soon, I promise.
Havent really been in a great mind space. Really felt like this weight thing was just too much on Friday, but then i realised in Sunday that i must've been pre menstrual.
Yes, that's right, my little friend had come to visit AGAIN. TWICE in 3 months. I know this might sound fabulous to most of you, but i have implanon. I had it for the full three years previously and I’ve just had a new one put in about a year ago. The first one I had a fabulous experience – no bleeding, anything. But lately not so good. Mood swings, sore belly, unpredictable period.
I think Implanon is a fantastic thing – I think there must be a time period that your body can handle before it goes ‘nup, wanna’ go back to normal for a bit’.
So I’ve made an appointment with the women’s clinic in a month (their next available, terrible!) to discuss my options. I know of a couple of people on depo, so I’ll ask them about their experiences… or, I’ll have to go back on the pill and work really hard at taking it properly.
I would love any advice you guys have to offer.
I weighed in on Saturday at 97.1 (214lbs). I guess this isn’t so bad considering I ate like a pig on my holidays. It makes me wonder how much I actually put on whilst on holidays though, if i’ve only got 400grams (.8 lbs) more to lose to be at my pre-holiday weight. Do you put on weight before you have your TOM? Maybe I was a little over because of that. Who knows!
I worked fairly hard last week, although I do splurge with eating sometimes. Doesn’t help when Marty goes to visit his dad and step mum (lovely, LOVELY sweet people) and they send him home with a tray of lemon slice, an orange cake and some muffins.
Tuesday I did body combat (45 mins), Thursday I did Bodyjam (45 mins), Friday morning I did 30 minutes of weights, Saturday morning I ran for 10 mins and spent 15 mins on epileptical machine, Sunday I ran/walked for 15 minutes and then spent 15 minutes on epileptical and the I played netball for about 20 minutes. Phew! I should be losing more weight than I am.
It actually didn’t seem like too much work – I know what you mean Kelly by feeling almost addicted. I think I need to lengthen my sessions if I can. But, I almost would rather do 2 30 minute sessions and fit them in around my lifestyle than try to cram in an hour one somewhere.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY ALY!
