Petals diary

Hi all just a quick update . So went shopping again Monday and got some boots more jeans and a sweater . Have a few outings so needed to up the ante . That's my purchasing done now.

Wearing the bp monitor at the moment . Felt it every hour during the night. It didn't work once or twice so I hope they get enough readings from it . Don't want to wear again .
Not much else to report . Things are ticking along for now . Hoping to lose another bit of weight this week . We shall see .
 
You sound like me with shopping, Petal- glad it's done. Things ticking along, for now, is good at this time of the year :)
 
Good news my bp is stable . Elevates a bit at times during the day but perfect all night . So less stress , more exercise , watch my food . Back in 6 months for full blood tests etc . Feel like a load lifted off me
 
Wow, wonderful that your blood pressure is returning to normal! I have been getting my exercise doing yard work, but not every day, so I will make an extra effort to take more walks and things on the off days in solidarity with you!

Nice getting all the Christmas shopping done! I need to wrap presents and put up the tree today or tomorrow.

Hope you are enjoying yourself and getting in you-time!
 
Thanks ladies . Not too much me time right now as busy still with school stuff for my daughter . Th weather is so so bad I can't face going out in it but I should be doing my dvds . I'm not .

I'm out tonight and tomorrow night at various things so may get my head focused for that and ensure food ready for people at home not going out .
 
Ohhhh hi all . I had a really nice weekend . Enjoyed it all but was very busy . Will ourmal later hopefully and catch up with you all
 
Hi, Petal. The forum has been out of action, for some reason, so you haven't missed anything. Glad you had a nice weekend, xoxo
 
Hi Cate well my internet is out of action a lot right now too so I'm quiet as a mouse . Hoping we get upgraded to hi speed next year but it's chronic recently.
My days right now are crammed . With work , school and daughter in the middle of exams and prep for Christmas The days are flying by .

I'm really looking forward to a break over the Christmas holidays now . I have books to read , we are praying hard for good weather to make the most of the 10 days or so and maybe watch a few movies . Right now I'm eating pretty normally and good. I'm not overthinking what goes in my mouth .
Lol last night my husband really fancied a bag of chips from the chip shop ( guess you know what I mean chipped potatoes deep fried dripping in vinegar ) . He asked would I like but I said no because I will be up all night if I do so I had my nice Moroccan salad as I had planned .

Hope everyone is well .
 
Well done Petal on resisting hot chips. It shows that you have changed your mindset. Good for you!
 
My mindset has changed still long way to go though to shift the weight !

Some little sayings for us today as Christmas approaches " Women who snack wear bigger slacks "
Fridge pickers wear bigger knickers "
 
Crossing fingers for nice weather and for you getting to curl up with a good book and a nice salad! Great you resisted temptation and I think most of the battle is mindset!!! Hope you can upgrade and get to check in here more. I miss hearing from you a lot of times!!!
 
"Fridge pickers wear bigger knickers"- that is so funny!
I hope you can get in here more often too, xoxo
 
Well doing well in again tonight . Very tired tonight . Hectic day . Wrapped gifts and went shopping. Dread the Christmas grocery shop . Doing Saturday early .
 
We just need normal shop with some extra bits I have to cook . But everyone will be home every day so need extra . We are eating away Christmas dinner with family .

Not sleeping great these nights . Beginning to feel the effects of it now .

Our internet rubbish too . Grrrrrr
 
Update - thank god I slept well last night . And internet working this morning ( won't last ) . Heating not working well now so trying to limp it along until after xmas . Sick of things not working .
