What a journey. . . .
Inflammation is decreasing and gut is healing slowly from the anaesthetic. Nearly back to normal, whatever normal is. Exercises are still hard and painful. Home physio visit said doing well. Very well. Keep going by myself. Call if need help with exercises. They change weekly. So just as I start to feel I’m able to do them to some degree of “good” I’m doing a new set. Lots of sweat and puffing and panting as I’m doing them. Must sound like I’m having a good time in here to neighbours. 🤣
Weight wise lost 600g. That’s not bad considering. I have had visitors and because I’m relatively immobile (still unable to drive), I am enjoying their company as well as the food they bring. This week lovely older ladies brought sandwiches, a slice from their homeland NZ, and Tim tams. I ate. My body doesn’t process bread as well as other foods but boy did I enjoy those sangers. Saving the leftover slice for other visitors this coming week, hopefully. Hopefully more visitors ha ha, not hopefully I don’t eat it all. My will power is pretty good at the moment.
So although I am trying to stick to my eating plan, for my mental health I am relaxing it as visitors come and over the silly season. And I must admit I sneaked one chocolate coated almond and one chocolate filled wafer tube stick yesterday whatever they’re called. They’re obviously not called that. They wouldn’t sell with that name would they. 😂😜
My rules for me for Xmas time going forward:
Follow my eating plan where possible 😜
Enjoy time with visitors 🥰
Allow myself to eat with friends “WITHOUT GUILT” 🥳
You know I wasn’t going to weigh today but my weight was weighing on my mind (pun intended)😜 I’m glad I weighed, whether it had gone up or down at least I don’t have to think about it anymore.
Onwards and downwards.👇
