Petals diary

Thanks LaMa, Cate and Em . I'm dropping her off later . Fingers crossed . Kind of annoyed they have waited so long to do the tests . Anxious .

I decided last night to revert back to my first day of SW because I'm definitely picking at too many snack foods ao I'm going to approach it like the first day I joined. Had a few minutes with my SW consultant yesterday and she is doing great and was inspiring . I do feel good and happy but I want to have that leeway .
My exercise is going great but I did have a night off last night because I was very tired . Not sure if I will journal my food here or in a notebook . Got a gorgeous new notebook as a gift so maybe there and a summary here .
 
Rest days are not only allowed but valuable. I'm glad your consultant is a good fit for you and I hope the back to basics approach will help.
 
I have my fingers & toes crossed for your pooch. I'm glad you gave yourself a bit of rest & going back to the start of your SW programme to give yourself a bit of a refresh sounds like a good idea.
 
Thanks LaMa I had a great start yesterday . Em it's a lovely book and the pen writes nicely . Cate our dog has bladder stones . Long road ahead now to get rid of them and try keep her well.

Yesterday was very stressful with the vets and running about . Work also but I kept to my SW PLAN . I weighed myself yesterday morning at home as at class I'm wearing boots and clothes and jewellery. So on my own scales I have decided I need to lose about 11.5 lb for now .
 
I'll ask K9 what she recommends for bladder stones as I'll be seeing her this weekend. At least you know what it is & that must be good.
 
Thanks Cate I sent you a PM with a bit more detail . No panic if you don't get to talk to her .

Day 2 of restart was great . Glad I committed properly . Ate really well and had my choc bar allowance after dinner with a cup of tea . That's how I lost my first stone and half . I had a chicken pepper onion stir fry last night with rice . We will add broccoli next time .

Going to relax a bit this weekend . Last week was busy with exam results, dog stuff , work and other bits but I survived . Too busy too think really . It's amazing I even restarted in my head with SW but I think it's what I can control at the moment . Everything else is beyond my control if that makes sense
 
Thanks Lama and Cate .
Sat Eve here I had a good day but it’s Saturday evening and I would love to be delving into a tub of Ice cream or a bag of Maltesers :svengo:
 
Hey Petal, I am woefully behind on keeping up with your diary and those of my other MFP friends. Trying to catch up a bit this morning.

I understand the junk food thing. I kind of take the opposite approach, always have it in the house, snacks for the grandkids. I even keep it where I can see it a lot of the time. I have just stopped eating it 100%, and that seems to be working. I know that if I started even eating a little it would be a very slippery slope. I also know from experience that hiding it, or not having it in the house is of limited value to me. I have car (truck actually) and can pretty easily go to the local quickie mart and get anything thing I want, done that many times. But that is just me, you know much better what works for you, as LaMa says you are a very sensible woman!

Saw on the no binge page that you are not feeling well, I hope that passes quickly, hopefully already has!

Oh, me too! :( Except I don't think I have a hope of catching up this morning - let alone that it's now Tuesday morning. My catch-up strategy (begun on the weekend) is to go to the bottom of the first page of the diary section, and to read up until I run out of catch-up time. That way, I should get pretty much through by the end of the week.
I am very sorry indeed that I'm so out of date, but that work-from-home project and Zooming just swamped me. So... now to have a good long read about how you're doing, Petal! :)
 
I'm reading through from about the middle of August, which I think is when I evaporated...
I love the talk about walking - it's so good to be able to be out and to see the world! The part about your work - yes, good for you, for speaking up and telling that what they ask is simply not going to be done (because the labourer is worthy of her hire, and of her decent amount of rest). Yes, it getting done is not your problem!
I'm with you in

, or at least that's what I want to achieve. (Indian food is pretty deadly for me, weight-wise, though.)
Ah-ha! I've read on, and the Indian food-feast turned into Thai! Much easier for diety eating! :)

Oh - your little dog is ill again.

And now I've skipped right through, because I know that terrible feeling when a companion animal is sick and nothing's clear - I wanted to find the latest news. I'm glad you have a diagnosis and a treatment plan, and I hope things are looking up there. And a hug, :hug2:and go, you, on the healthy living front, and on all others as well!
 
Awwww thanks Amy for the hug and so lovely to see you here . Sounds like you have been busy .
Rob I can't have it in the house it would drive me bonkers . There are maybe times it would be ok but not right now.

I'm awake way too early this morning , dreaming weird stuff .
Ate well yesterday and walked also so a reasonable day .

I don't want to post much here but the virus is really having a knock on effect on people close to us now . Job losses , college places for kids etc etc. People are getting disheartened. We need to get back up and back to normal asap.
