Lift, Train, Fitness

only a quick check in, struggling with life at the moment, my trip to Canberra was in all probability the last time I see my mum alive, she was referred to palliative care the afternoon of the day we left to drive home (Thursday), and today she was admitted to hospital with a do not resuscitate order in place, she is not doing well at all.

my food choices this past week have not been good.
 
I´m sorry to hear it, Tru. It seems to be blow after blow for you right now. I hope your mother is as comfortable as she can be.
 
I'm so sorry to hear that your Mum is now in palliative care, Tru. Try to take good care of yourself, even though you are struggling. This is when you really need to xo
 
Shit just keeps happening. Electricity just came back on after super cell storm and associated tornadoes. small amounts of damage but not as bad as it could have been. Hubby has hail (tennis ball size) damage on his car (It was parked at work) and the wind ripped away some of the shade coverings on the verandah. good thing all of our buildings are built to meet cyclone resistant building codes (even the peacock pen) with extra metal straps reinforcing rods and double the number of fasteners on the iron roof sheets. the properties hit with tornadoes are a mess.

Oh well tropical storms are a part of living in the the sub tropics lol
 
Wow, you guys are dealing with so much, 2 natural disasters in a month. I hope you are able to find ways of de-stressing and that things calm down for you very soon!
 
after driving son to work, got a look at some of the damage, plenty of trees down, including our neighbor across the road who had a large tree down across his driveway. some of the schools in town are damaged, the school where hubby works was in lockdown during the storm due to the hail hitting the windows.

we have some trees down in a couple of paddocks but certainly got off light. This is only the first for the season, just something to expect when you choose to live in the sub tropics and in a cyclone region. Tornadoes are not exactly rare but usually only small and don't usually make any more than local news.

however we are on the doorstep of world heritage nature areas including Fraser Island so the occasional storm is a small price to pay.
 
had a busy weekend at state chess championship, not exactly the way I expected to spend my birthday. hubby is happy one of the players in the team he coaches ended the weekend as state champion in the high school division.
 
Been keeping busy, still in a fair bit of pain, I think the injection in my hip is wearing off.

Bub had her 12 month old immunisation shots today and is a little irritable.
 
unfortunately the pain is something I have to learn to live with, hips are not too bad this morning but can barely move my fingers (one finger typing this post lol) if my hips hold up to getting some housework done this morning, I will see if I am up to some time on the stationary bike this arvo.

I now have 4 peafowl eggs in the incubator so far, 1 from IB pairing and 3 from our White/Pied pairing :)
 
With all of the pain I am in I have been slack, completed 50 pushups this morning while bub is asleep, I am sooooo down on my fitness levels before the arthritis, bursitis and insomnia a set of 100 was no problem, this morning 50 was a struggle.

heat was oppressive yesterday, and today in likely to be no better. Depending on how I feel when it is time to pick son up from work, I will try for some baby koala photo's in the wild.
 
I have just been doing some research to type up another overview/review of various diets for the weight loss programs section of the forum, and some of the info is very disturbing, most of the diets we see spammed here often all have the same creator with fake authors on the cover. This is in addition to all the bad advice to be found in these programs, eg: Fat Decimator, 2 week diet, red tea detox diet and more.
 
That´s interesting. Not terribly surprising - I guess we all know the fad diet creators are only in it for the money - but interesting to see someone´s actually making it their life´s work to not only scam people out of their money but to consciously ruin their health along the way. Thank you for all the work you do, Tru.
