End of Week 2

Amazingly, a good weigh-in success this week – 2.3lb down, for a total of 3.4lb in the 2 weeks since I started. That’ll do, pig! (Name the film! )

This week I have all the meals planned, lunches planned and I’m going to try to make porridge – the quest for a breakfast that will stop me wanting to eat anything and everything by 10am is never ending! I’ve tried porridge once before, made with water, but it looked and tasted like wallpaper paste (no, I haven’t tried eating wallpaper paste, allow me the simile please!), so I’m going to try it with milk and see if it’s a bit more palatable. I’ve got some of the flavoured Quaker stuff so I’ll have a bash tomorrow morning.

The weekend has consisted of sleeping too late on Saturday (I blame my wonky body clock after overnight on-call this week), doing the shopping for the week, watching three glorious rugby matches (love love love the Six Nations!), watching the husband play drums with his band at their gig (he’s amazing – yes, I’m biased, but really, he is), and today doing lots of chat about the marriage course we are doing – we missed this week’s session due to my night shift, but we borrowed the DVD to catch up. I swear we talked for hours about it all! It’s turning out to be a real eye-opener and helping us build a really strong marriage – totally recommend it.

So now, I’m sitting on the sofa, with the kitchen tidy and the lunches made and the husband’s shirt ironed, feeling content and vaguely positive about this week – it might be a tough one for us as the husband is having a corneal transplant on Wednesday and so will be in hospital for some of the week, and out of action for quite some time after that. I think I’m more nervous than he is, but it helps that he’s had one before and knows that it will make a big difference to his life and his vision – makes it much easier to put up with temporary pain and discomfort.

My plans for the week include BodyAttack tomorrow, maybe a swim after visiting the husband in hospital on Wednesday, and hopefully something on Thursday or Friday too, depending on how the patient is getting on.

I honestly don’t know if anyone is actually reading this, but it kinda helps to state my goals on ‘paper’ like this, along with my weekly weigh-in results – makes me more accountable. So I will continue to spraff here occasionally, even if it’s only for me!
