Come, to Homercles

Today is my 3 month check-up with the spinal surgeon, and I really hope he has something to say about the knots in my shoulders and the pain in my sternum. If he acts like it is no big deal I think I may get upset. I am bringing mr. ralph along with me again because I need him there.

I think I need some sort of massage or manipulation to help with the shoulder pain, and I don't think it should come out of my pocket. I also think I need some reassurance that what I'm feeling is normal, and nothing to worry about.

This guy spends approximately 15 minutes, maybe less, with me every 3 months and I'm left out in the cold when it comes to the everyday pain that is my life.

Thanks to all of you that said you liked the new look. I'm not completely sold on it yet to be honest. Today I spent a considerable amount of time learning some new css styles so that I could change the link colors so that the content part is different to the side bar. It worked, but I don't like the way it looks still.

The time has already come when there are hot cross buns in the stores and we love them. We bought some and although the package we got was already going stale, I still love them. I have to be careful and buy the mini ones and read the label because one bun could range up to 5 to 6 points if I'm not careful. Small ones are 2 points, so a doable snack if I don't eat half the package.

oops! me bad! Try www.slimmingforlife.com.au I think i may have left the au off last time! I hope that you get some sort of relief from the dr this time. That sucks that you have pain all the time. Does it stop you from exercising?

Oh I would most probably cause him pain by kicking his ankle. Then we could exchange experiences ;)

And I love the new look too. I only did not mention it earlier because I am jealous of all fancy, nice looking blogs, since I know nothing of how to make mine look cute too ;p

doctors are idiots. that's why i decided not to be one. i'm sorry you are in pain and i hope you are given the support you need. demand it if you must.

i'm afraid you and i must part ways, however , on the issue of hot cross buns. i think they are vile and would not eat one if it were the last morsel of food on earth. i'd eat my own foot first. i'd eat your own foot first. and i'm a vegetarian so you KNOW i don't like hot cross buns! ;)

Weigh-in March 5th

I weighed in at 68.1, and was amazed to discover that I lost 800 grams this week. I've only got just over 5 kilos left to lose before I reach my goal. Like WOW. I mean wow. I am pinching myself. Can you believe this? A weight loss 2 weeks in a row?!?! I mean jeez, imagine what I could do if I got my butt up off the couch and started exercising. I think I owe it all to the Wendie Plan, which by the way I told all my fellow weight watcher' members about today. I tried to tell them anyway, but I couldn't say a whole lot because our leader likes to hog all the air time. It is weird. I've never felt so shut down in a place where we should all be sharing our ideas with each other. Isn't it a support group, not a one-woman-show? Plus she is boring and only talks about the same thing over and over again. I've heard enough about low GI foods, exercising, how her daughter is a dancer, and how good it is to eat protein for breakfast. I would try out a different ...

A trip down memory lane

Hello to all of you all of you coming via Michele , thanks for stopping by and I only hope it was worth the trip over. I began reading through the questions on the Slimmer of The Year application today. Of course there are so many things I want to include, but I can't possibly write everything I want to or they will be getting a novel. When I started thinking of how long I have been overweight and the reasons I struggled for so long with food and weight issues a lot of memories came back to me. I've been challanged by my weight for most of my life. Granted some of that time I only thought I was fat when I really wasn't. The point is that I have been fat inside my head for as long as I can remember. One of the most shameful and embarrassing moments was when I was 15 and some of the boys in my class thought it was funny to sing "thunder, thunder, thunder thighs hooooooo!" when they saw me coming to the tune of the cartoon "Thunder Cats." That experie...

All it takes is determination

I got my butt up this morning and did a 20-minute walk/jog, and it was still DARK outside. You proud of me?? Sure you are! I didn't do so well with my eating on the weekend, but this is not going to stand in my way. I know that in order to push through and lose more than what I've been averaging since Christmas (500-800 grams a week) I have got to stick to the Wendie Plan for the rest of this week and to my new lower points intake of 18 a day as well as exercise . I said the dreaded word, but it is true. I can do this. I have decided that there will be no excuses. I will apply to be this year's WW Slimmer of The Year. I can't let anything stand in my way. Thanks to all of you for getting behind me with this. Your support is so crucial because I am feeling high and on top of the world right now, but I know there will be days that I will feel like giving up the fight when I will start thinking it is just to hard and I know I will be going back and reading all your w...
