My new book: Winners Do What Losers Don't

Oh good, that is not TOO long, and even if you only manage to get back there for some weekends, it will fly past.

 There really is only so much sitting you can do, isn't there? I did some folding this morning, yay me.

Not alot happening here. Chris was up at 7.30am, to take the car for a service, he cycled back. The kids are in PJ's and can stay that way! They are watching Atlantis, and having a good time, so that is great. Chris is SUPPOSED to be cleaning out the garage but it is almost lunchtime and the door is open, but that is as far as he has got! LOL, it is cold out there!

I would KILL for a walk outside. I honestly think I would be fine to drive, and I have some letters to post, so I might drive up to the milkbar and post them, then walk along the flat road a few houses and back, just to get the fresh air in! SLOW wlaking, I hasten to add! Shall see. Probably shouldn't, will see how I feel. Maybe I should just go and sit outside? I will have to work out a safe reintroduction to exercise.

Actually, don't ,cos laughing that much would hurt!

100.8kg this morning, another half a kilo off this week. NICE................ It was not a perfect week, someone gave me chocolate, and we had fish and chips one night, but overall I have been pleased with it. Still sticking with the aim of being under 100 by the end of this month. SO sad when I look back at the 93ish mark I was averaging a year ago. BUT I am not looking back I am looking FORWARD!!!!!!

This slow recovery thing is really dull, have I said that already? LOL! I am not a naturally patient person.

I have a friend collecting me tomorrow to go out for a coffee, I have only been at home or the hospital for 2.5 weeks, so that will be lovely!

Sometimes a break can be the best thing. By the time you're right to you'll be totally fired up!

My new book: Winners Do What Losers Don't

Let's hope so Raymond!! LOL! poor Trev looks very unloved at the moment! I am thinking next week (which will be 3 weeks since surgery) I am going to start back to some pretty dull and slow walking, maybe 15 minutes, see how it goes.

Howdy all!

Slept like crap last night, not sure why. I am getting collected in 45 minutes to go for a coffee, I am excited to get out, even if just for an hour or so!

Chris has a meeting tonight so I am putting kids to bed myself, first time in 2 and a half weeks! LOL! I have been doing a few more things, slowly increasing. Folding, washing, tidying. Not too much! Called the dr yesterday and asked about driving, and in the course of a 5 minute chat, the receptionist said, 4 weeks, then 3 weeks, then 2 weeks, then whenever you feel OK. I am going to wait 4 weeks I think, The thought of adhesions scares me! I am starting back to walking next week, just SLOW (4.5kph) for 15 minutes each day, see how that goes. As I normally walk at 6.5kph, that is slow, trust me!

Still eating well!!! Yesterday I had :

B: 2 weetbix, half cup tinned fruit
MT: 2 biscuits, coffee
L: Cup a soup, 2 slices toast
AT: banana, wafer biscuit
D: meatballs with veggies
S: tinned fruit, yoghurt

All small portions. And once DH is not shopping, the biscuits won't be here! LOL! I am honestly not thinking as much about food. I find if I want something, I can have a little bit at a time, and am fine with that. I realise that sounds weird, but previously I felt like I HAD to eat it. I felt like, "Oh, that is a "bad" food, you have had a bit, so just bugger it, and eat it all". I don't get what has changed, but I embrace it!

you REALLY need to take on board the fact it takes a good 12 weeks for that deep tissue to heal. adhesions are the most horrid thing ever. when i had my first cesarean (which caused all the initial adhesions, which grew from there taking on a life of their own), i was back to doing normal things (read: manual farm work at the time, driving my car, lugging newborn around) in under 5 weeks. not clever. when i had the hyster, the surgeon did his best to 'revise' everything, neaten things up and so on... my adhesions were so bad inside he said it was like a bomb had exploded inside me and that was why i had so many years of pain.

i know it's sucky jane to not be able to do everything, but it is why i can't stress enough that you only have one chance to heal properly.

big hugs xxx

ps how'd that coffee go?? :)

Had a Chai Latte and it was great!

Trust me Kaz, I am NOT going to overdo it. Walking at 4.5kph is really a stroll for me. I have my gym membership suspended for 12 weeks, and I am honestly not going to do anything much until after that point. I have ENOUGH issues with joints etc, so I don't need more limitations!!! Thanks for caring!!!!

A wet day out there today in Melbourne!

DH and I are off to the shops this morning, I am SO happy to be getting out of the house it is unbelievable! I am sure I am going to drive Chris nutty though, I really cannot walk very fast at all! We don't have much to do, but will have a coffee or lunch, probably coffee I think, but it will be nice.

I got the munchies last night, so had wholemeal crackers (light ones) with tuna (not in oil!) a dash of sweet chilli and a little light sour cream, VERY tasty, but I think I ate more than I needed........... Looking back at dinner, it was yummy, but there was not enough protein in there. LOT's of veggies, but they don't keep you full long enough, so I needed more chicken!

Chris is back to work next week, but I think I will be fine. Still no driving until the following Monday, so no extra curricular stuff for kids, which will REALLY help.

I am battling with the lack of exercise. It has been 3 months since all this started and I have not been able to REALLY work out hard. I feel so unfit and lazy. But I also KNOW I would be a fool to push it too hard.

The past week I have slacked off with my food choices, and that is a silly thing to do when you cannot do much physically, so I expect a gain tomorrow.

Chris is back at work today, so I had to get all the kids up and off to school for the first time in ages! No worries, they left on time! And now the kitchen is tidied, a load of washing is in the drier and one is washing. One more load to wash and all to get dried and folded. I took a Shepards Pie out of the freezer for dinner, so that is under control. I am So thankful for the people who helped us with meals! I won't have to cook all week and that is going to really help this week.

Anyhow, my aim for this week is simply to relax about it all, and be realistic. I had wanted to be back on the tready this week, but I am putting that off one more week, and ext week will start back. (gently!!!!)

Please, bear with me!

Sounds like cabin fever to me!  You sound quite frustrated but yes, you should kick back and enjoy the last of the recuperation.

Cam starts EIP next week, so very grateful to get him in, he's going to get a lot out of it, and me too!

I was SO sure I would have gained a kilo, but I lost 0.3! Wooohoo!!!! Brings me to 100.5kg,  2.1 less than 3 weeks ago. I am REALLY happy about that!

Chris is working from home today, nice to have company!

I have done some washing, cleaned the kitchen, done the dusting (ack! Should do that more often) and taken Spag Bol sauce out of the freezer for dinner. Still want to change the towels, and wash the old ones.

A friend is popping in with milk for me soon, so shall have a coffee with her.

Hope all of you are well!
