Pretty crap excuse but we've had no internet at work therefore the blogging has slipped somewhat. I can never really be bothered to at night time but tonight I am making the exception as it doesn't look like the problem will be fixed anytime soon.
So, what have I been doing? Friday night we just stayed in and Holly, Greg and Gary came over for a few drinks, then Saturday me and Dave didn't do a lot, went to Claire and Chris' on Saturday night which was good fun, we played Mr & Mrs which caused some hysteria along the lines of "don't be so bloody stupid, of course I prefer corn flakes to weetabix". Hmm. You get the gist.
Sunday went shopping and spent a bloody fortune on food which isn't fun when you're on CD however I suppose I still have to feed my child and husband. Also got Elise some stuff for her upcoming birthday on the 1st July. I got her a gorgeous pineapple dance tracksuit, some ted baker trainers, a new coat, some t shirts (including a very cool Beatles one), some hairbands and new bobbles and stuff. She wants money so we are giving her money to spend at the metro centre after her birthday so quite an easy one this birthday. Just need to get her some more little bits and pieces.
Work has been frustrating as as I said we've had no internet for 3 days which is driving everyone nuts as it is surprising what you need it for. Also can't access any external emails which isn't great. Anyhoo Monday night we watched 7 pounds which in my opinion was rubbish. I thought it was really slow and disappointing as I love Will Smith but there you go, still good to look at.
Last night we got a text to say Katie and Paul have had a little boy, Rory James Ballance, 7lb 11oz, born emergency section but are both doing great so congratulations to them all.
Went up the street at dinner time to get new baby and fathers day cards and presents and got soaked, not good. Going to work from home tomorrow morning as need to contact some customers and need to access the internet so won't be in work until after lunch. Also I get weight at 1pm so fingers crossed for that. Diet wise everything still going great, but for some reason I'm really struggling with the water so need to sort that out. I worked out today it is 1 month, 2 weeks until I add a meal which is quite daunting, anyone who doesn't know this means I will have been doing the diet for 12 weeks so you have to add a meal each day, so I will have my shake for breakfast and soup for lunch as normal however in the evening I have a very small amount of chicken and two tablespoons of veg, you do this only for a week then back to soul sourcing (ie no food) for another 12 weeks or until you get to your goal weight, which ever comes first. In my case hopefully the latter will come first. Once you are at goal you slowly start introducing foods. I try not to think about it to be honest as it seems so far and away and I sometimes think that the bit I'm doing now is the easy bit it's the maintenance and finding the right balance that is the difficult part. I think I know that I have to accept to stay at a healthy weight I need to have very few calories, this may sound very straight forward but my doctor has told me that for every 1lb a normal person (normal being someone without PCOS) would put on I would probably put on 3lb, same goes for losing the weight therefore I will probably need to eat less calories than your average person. Saying that if I exercised it would probably help but that's a topic for another day.
OK rant over, going to go and get in the bath then chill out and watch telly. Was going to go and see baby Rory tonight but thought I better wait a bit as she will probably all her family there tonight so maybe tomorrow night.
Over and out M x x
