Water Ipod's !!! you never know.......

 

[** Just Jools **]

you should be able to get swimming ipods or something!! abz xx

I'd patent that idea right now if I was you. That could make you a million. x

 

[elle2585]

Woah, seriously Bren, that's an ace idea!! x

 

[abz]

oy, my idea i think you'll find don't go giving my millions away...

well the car is finally taxed. woo just in time. so i can now stop thinking about it. or you'd think i would be able to... but i can't for some reason, ha. need to chill a wee bit methinks. went swimming today, half a mile again but mostly breast stroke this time, which i find more difficult as i'm a crawl person, but have discovered that it's far more relaxing and it works my lower back more, which is one of the reasons i'm going.

well. am off to bed as soon as thomas stops speaking rapid danish. he's on the phone to his dad in the bedroom so i'll have to wait for that to be over, hee.

Morning Abz just trying to catch up with whats been happening, glad you got your car taxed and sorted and you are doing real well with all this swimming, well done.xxx

hope you have a good week, whats your plans diet wise hun??

 

[abz]

to eat less!! i've been crap over the last week. i haven't gained much but then i've been doing all this swimming and i could be losing instead. i'm being a moron.

so back to strict calorie counting. i've let things slide and i refuse to be a fat bride!!

my back is sore today but that is to be expected. it isn't as bad as it could be.

i'm so so tired today though. didn't sleep well last night. was having weirdass dreams. and of course i zonked out to cut off my migraine before it developed properly.

my best mate finds out if her lymphoma has been successfully treated today. i'm a bag of nerves so i can't even guess how she is feeling. really really hope she doesn't have to have any more chemo

[BREN]

Good luck with your news today Abz, I'll be thinking of you.

Hope the pain in the back subsides quickly too.

How many cals are you aiming for again??

[abz]

not sure really bren... am going to go for 1000 but don't mind going up to about 1200. i don't that's quite easily doable. may have a few more before going swimming. am going again on thursday evening so will have to have dinner as soon as i get in i suppose. think we are going to go food shopping tonight as we're really running low on things, hence the supposed asda trip yesterday. but i may just pop into the little tesco near work at lunch time and pick up a few things as thomas is supposed to be going to his martial arts lesson tonight and he hasn't been for ages so don't want to distract him from it.

[BREN]

What are you eating in a typical day hun??

 

[abz]

you don't want to know bren!! i have not been a good girl this week.

my plan is to up my fruit intake and reduce my crap intake, which has crept up. i want to get some yoghurts in today as i really think my calcium levels must be low. i don't drink my tea or coffee milky, i don't eat a lot of cheese, and i don't have cereal usually or drink milk and i haven't been eating yoghurts... so. yoghurts this week i think. am going to get some bananas in to help me after swimming as i'm always ravenous after swimming and i've been reaching for the crap...

as we are so skint at the moment i can't eat as i would like to. i couldn't go to the farmer's market this weekend as i was working all day sunday, and our finances are a little dire after taxing the car and we have a quarterly gas bill to pay too, and for the boiler repair when they finally sort that out. so yeah. making ends meet this month. hopefully by next month we will have caught up with ourselves

cooking from scratch is something i enjoy doing, and it's cheaper. but we will be eating a lot of pasta, rice and potatoes i think, to bulk things out a bit. which means i really need to up my water intake a wee bit...

[BREN]

Yeah water is soo important. Like today I have had a protein bar and even though in the big scheme of things it wont effect me I am going to drink another ltr or water more just to flush it out quicker.

[ditzeeblonde]

I love hustle Abz... hope you get some good news today.x

 

[abz]

[abz]

oh i am SO HAPPY. my best mate got the all clear. they think she's probably out of the woods for good. they've removed her chemo line and she gets to grow her hair back and not take steroids and feel yucky. i nearly burst into tears when i got that text message
