A GOOD ONE

 

ABOVE:  This covers a lot of bases.

I love it.  Particularly #3.  Though I doubt anyone in my family would dream of commenting on my weight, except in a positive way.

I feel terrible actually.  I gave poor Lacy a hard time about her tummy the other day.  SORRY LACY.   You look lovely and HEALTHY, and that is all that matters to Dad and I.

                           DAY 3 OF 15

I'm still finding this 'new' eating regime difficult.  It is now obvious I relied on carbs to avoid feeling hungry.  Fingers crossed I can continue to do this, because I think it will work.

ABOVE:  Yesterday was Dante and Archer's last day of school for the year.  They seemed to enjoy throwing all their school work all over the floor.  I can only presume it all went in the bin.  😂😆😉

It's a walk day, so I think the girls are coming with me... to the lake as it's supposed to be cool.

Well, a walk was taken around the lake this morning.  It was cloudy, with a fierce wind blowing.   I thought it would be OK for walking.  Kinda wrong.

In some sections there was no wind, and the bloody sun came out, so I overheated.

I think the girls got worried for a little while... cos I had a little 'wobble'.

MEH... I was fine.

I tipped some of Lacy's water over my head and back, that helped.

ABOVE:  Walk photos and stats.

ABOVE:  These chairs are doing the rounds.  They were ours, then we gave a couple to Lacy, and now they are moving on to Amanda.

Lacy is now using 3 of our old wooden BBQ chairs that Steve and Bex had, but don't need.

It makes me laugh when I see so much of our old furniture etc at the kid's homes.

Recycling at it's finest.

Amanda still has a BBQ Table we gave her from 22+ years ago!

I just took a photo, then added it to some older ones.  It's an eye opener for me.  Shows me I'm doing OK.

I will post it tomorrow.  Cos you know, I need something for tomorrow eh?  😊😉😏

I'm starting to cool down now, so time to change and go to the supermarket. I don't need much today, but certainly some staples.  Like meat, fish etc, for my predominantly protein diet.

Stew and I are LOVING Haloumi Cheese right now.  We bought some of every kind/brand the other day and are rating them.

So far we've tried two, with the second one a clear winner over the first one.

ABOVE:  OMG... crazy.  The supermarket carpark was FULL.  I had to go around and around for a while before I got a park.

It was crazy inside as well.  Like why?  I've no idea.

I ended up with a list of 5 things to buy.  Ha ha ha!

I spent almost $500.

Mostly meat and lollies for Christmas! 

Home now, all the groceries are away, and I don't even have the energy to make myself some lunch.

It's only 1.21 pm, so that can wait a while.

Might just sit here and chill out for a little while.

I have ZERO energy.

Little update on Lacy.  She has been to the Doctor and had it confirmed,  she does have an umbilical hernia.  It's a 'Double', meaning her protruding intestines don't not go back in.  They stay out.  This is not good.  

But I already knew this.

So, she has been immediately referred for surgery.

How long that takes, in this climate of 'huge waiting lists' is a concern.

People have died on wait lists in this bloody country.

At least her problem is not life threatening.  Unless it strangulates.

But let's not go there.

She will be fine.  She just has to wait.

I've had an incredibly lazy afternoon, cos well... I didn't feel like doing anything.  Hopefully this lack of energy wears off fast.

10.04 pm:  Another nice evening, just chillin' at home with Stew.  I'm now watching Coronation Street, before heading off to bed.

Catch ya tomorrow.
