Hi all,
Apologies I've not posted much in the last couple of weeks - had a bit of a time of it recently!
My sister (14) does judo and was at a competition a couple of weeks ago. During a fight she fell badly and her competitor landed on her dislocating her hip (and also chipping the bone slightly). She is still in hospital and has been in traction for all this time (she is due for another MRI next week to see if she can come off traction and start physio).
This whole saga is made worse by the fact that she is in Walsall hospital (the competition was in Walsall) over 100 miles away. The rest of my family live a further 20 miles south of me (my poor car has been up and down the motorway rather a lot!)
I've had to ferry my mum back and forwards as she isn't a very confident driver (and she's about to drop with number 6 due on March 7th!) and my dad has had to take on more work than ever as he is self employed and has already taken a lot of time off (and will want to take more off when the baby is born!).
Work has been as stressful as ever but quite understanding when I've had to dash off. However this week, they gave me an extra 5 staff to train up and look after!
The diet however, is still going strong - I think stress may be helping even if it does my nerves no good!
Last week I was very pleased that my BMI fell below 40 making me no longer morbidly obese (never thought I'd feel so pleased about that!). My clothes have also got so loose that I am going to have to give in and buy some more this weekend as I look a bit like a bag lady!! I had to keep hoiking my skirt up at work today which was embarrassing to say the least! No idea what size I am now, but certainly smaller. I am excited about shopping somewhere other than faithful old Evans! I'm going to try Primark as I am hopefully going to grow out of any new clothes in the not too distant future.
Hope you are all well and enjoying good old Lipotrim.
