WEIGH IN

 

When I visited my Doctor last week, his instructions to me were... WEIGH YOURSELF EVERY DAY.  Not something I usually do.

He said that way I would be able to see fluctuations, and make adjustments at necessary.

So when I saw a big gain yesterday morning, I KNEW I'd probably had too much to eat the day before.  It's not an exact science of course, and daily/weekly fluctuations can and do happen.  But for me, it was a bit gutting.

Yesterday I was very careful with what I ate, and I made sure I was drinking enough.

For the next few days, I will only be having Optifast and salads, and cut back on the fruit.

Leo (my Doctor) wants to see me again in one month, and will adjust the dosage of the WEGOVY if it's called for.  

As for today, I will be getting on the scales once I get out of bed, and I hope I don't see another gain!  That would totally piss me off.

So watch for the update!

I am going into Crabby Quarters to continue working on the next Fishy Runner today.  Then a bit later on I might attend the Coffee & Chat down in the Community Centre.  

So I got the power notification last night with how much power we had used last week. I was a bit shocked as it had almost doubled. My immediate reaction was to turn the heat pump OFF. But this morning  Stew said no, its ok. It's only for 3 months or so that we really need it. So when I got up this morning I turned it back on. It's minus 2 degrees right now and the house is FREEZING. I'm  staying in bed until it warms up!

Right, it is now 1 pm, and it's been a busy day.

I got up and weighed in.

DOWN .200 grams.  I'll take that.  Heading down again.

After that, I went to Coffee & Chat, and had a lovely hour or so catching up with friends.

Then home to catch up with Lacy, who was doing my housework.

THEN I got a call from an Uncle and Aunty from Tauranga, who were about to call in for a visit.

So that was lovely.

They are staying in Ngaruawahia, and had biked over.

ABOVE: Richard and Muriel are in their mid and late 70's, and cycle all over the country/world!

Inspirational people.

So now I'm having some salad for lunch, then I will get into Crabby Quarters and do some work.

3.20 pm.  And then I laughed and laughed, and went shopping.

I wanted to find some wax melts for the room Scentsy things.

So I went into Briscoes.

ABOVE:  And that's how I ended up with a Nutribullet thing.  I don't know how that happened!

Next stop was The Warehouse, and they didn't have wax melts.  So I ended up with toy cars and a car carrier for Lily to play with.  I don't know how that happened either!

My final stop was the supermarket, where I wanted some more Cottage Cheese and Almond Flour.  Came out of there with just a couple of other things, PHEW!

I am going to use the Nutribullet thing to blend up the almond flour bread mix, and other shit.

8.30 pm.  Just in from the pub.  We had some hysterical conversations at the pub tonight, mostly revolving around.... shit!  Too funny.

I also had a lovely visit with the kids.

So thankful I decided to turn the heat pump back on, after it was off all of last night!  It is going to be (already is) another freezing night.   Expected temperature tomorrow is -4 degrees C.  

Catch ya tomorrow.
