Hi there all. I'm resurrecting my diary and popping my head back through the door. Somewhat shamefacedly I must say as I have put a LOT of weight on.
You might remember that I was put on some tablets that can cause massive weight gain. Well they bloomin well did! I went back to the specialist on Wednesday, in tears. I have gained half a stone a month since I've been on them and I'm constantly exhausted.
Well, he's changed my tablets and I'm actually awake for the first time in months but I need to eat fairly constantly otherwise I feel nauseous. I was doing Up Day Down Day but I can't do it on these tablets so I'm coming home to WW!
Got my points diary at the ready and ready to go. I've ordered loads of yummy low point food from Tesco and it's coming tomorrow.
Looking forward to getting to know all the people who've joined since I left and saying hi again to my old friends.
Keith and I have a gig on 22 May which, if I have done my sums correctly, is 4 weeks from today. It's a 70s night so I have bought a really lairy kaftan and a long red, hippie style wig
I'd like to get a good half stone off by then.

Thanks Auntie M x
Today has gone well. I had 6 points' worth of chocolate but all the rest has been spent on healthy food so I'm pleased with myself.
We spent the day wrestling with a self-assembly sofa; it's the only kind that we could get on the boat! I've also chosen the new kitchen (sorry - galley) for the boat, which our friend Fred is going to fit for us as he fitted out his own boat. I'm looking forward to having a decent cooking area on the boat and it will make good use of the space too. The money we will save by Fred fitting it means we can see about getting the windows replaced as it's a bit horrible when you wake up with a wet leg (because of the rain I hasten to add!).
Back at work tomorrow - I've stocked up on loads of healthy food for packed lunches. Also should be easier for me to stick to points as I'll be busy at work rather than sitting at home wandering through the fridge!
All I need to do now is get a decent night's sleep. The doc took me off the meds I was on because they were too sedating and put me on something different; now I can't sleep at all. Aaargh! Oh well, I guess I just need to get back into a routine of sleeping without knockout drops!
