Down a little bit more today. I seem to have got back into the swing of things, now all I have to do is get back to swimming and walking. I did intend to go swimming this morning but it was 8 am when I woke and I need to leave at 7.
Another visitor arriving next wednesday so its getting the guest room prepared etc. Had a day out yesterday to stock up at Mr T. No wonder so many people have problems with their weight when you consider what supermarkets sell. The number of shelves with crisps, biscuits, snacks and pre prepared meals etc compared to the number with fresh foods and ingredients to make things at home was astonishing. There was just one aisle with things like dried fruit, cornstarch, flour etc. and one for fruit and veg. I went on about it all the way home. Unhealthy food everywhere. I didn't feel tempted by it but it took forever to find what I did want. You'd have thought I was asking for gold dust when I couldn't find Cayenne pepper. OK rant over.
Now that I'm eating properly again I feel so much better - still can't work out why I do it while I'm away from home. I'm coming round to thinking that normally when you meet up with friends and eat out its probably only once or twice a week and a little indulgence doesn't make too much difference, but when I go away its all packed into a short time and I very often eat lunch and dinner out for maybe 10 days and people think they are being kind by treating you to all sorts of things you wouldn't normally eat. I think I'm going to invent a mystery illness next time because saying no thanks doesn't work too well and I end up putting on loads. This last trip has cost me almost 3 months weight loss.
I'm really looking forward to volunteering. I think I will be making 'life books' for newly diagnosed alzheimers sufferers so that they will be able to have a record of their extended family an important things they have done in their life so they will have something staff can see and they can look at it to remind themselves. I bet some of them have done amazing things. It will be good to have some time apart from OH. He is quite well now but still relies on me as he did when he was ill. He even asked me if he should put the light on today! Perhaps this will make him think for himself a bit more.
This has turned into quite a ramble but hey, its what I was thinking. Have a happy healthy eating weekend
