Happy New Year 🥳
May 2026 bless you all with good health, love, lots of joy and happiness.
I had grandies last night so went to bed when they did so we slept in the New Year.
Pool hours back to normal tomorrow so it’s back to the pool early. Let’s see if I can get my fitness improved and lose some weight.
Catch you next time. Off to pack swim bag.
We’ve had Summers end of year dance concert. She looked so cute and did sooooo well. I cried happy tears. Her face was one continuous smile of joy.
I took nearly 3 weeks to recover, not much exercise done in that time at all. My knee has gone backwards, I’ve been very uncomfortable. And of course I’ve gained weight. BUT today I went back to the pool….ohhh it felt good.
Thankfully last week I was well enough to go to Williams year 6 graduation. He goes to high school next year….I can not believe how fast that 12 years has gone by.
Santa pics last week too. Told William I don’t care how old he is while he still living at home he’ll be having Santa pics taken with his sister. His face was a picture 🫣😂
Merry Christmas to you all.
Take Care, be safe…
Today was weigh in day…a month since my last one. I was expecting a gain, (as I mentioned in last post when I had an unofficial peek) and yep those demon scales were not nice, I added a little more since I last checked scales. New medication didn’t help, nor did not taking medication because I realised it was making me ill…but hopefully after Dr visit today that will be sorted.
But can’t solely blame that, it’s me and indulging myself as well. Me that says “you’ve been going so well a little treat won’t hurt” but then continues to treat myself for days. I know one little treat won’t hurt but I self sabotage myself. When I’m good and on track I’m great, but when I’m not I’m my own worst enemy.
Good news is I’m still going to the pool Monday to Friday and walking in the water. I love it and have made friends with some lovely ladies there.
Yesterday I had a lovely day with my daughter shopping. We went to Mandurah for the day to shop for Christmas pressies for the kids. The kids were with their Dad and we picked them up at train station at 4.30pm. Had a lovely time and found some bargains. Ohh boy, my feet were so sore last night and my knee welcomed the hour or more I spent in the pool.
This week I haven’t got much on, unless Skye comes back from staying at her boyfriends, it’s her birthday Friday, 22 this year. We will do cake if she is home.
I’m getting excited for Summers end of year dance concert on Sunday. Her first ever concert on the BIG stage with full makeup, hair and costumes 😍😍
Well best do dishes, and set up for the morning so it’s goodnight from me.
I’ve got my 2 youngest grandchildren here for the night, mum and her bestie have gone to a music festival. Anyways it’s time to get them off their iPads and ready for bed.
Goodnight….
These last 4 weeks have flown by. I’m getting used to not weighing weekly, actually it’s taking a lot of pressure off myself. I’ve had a great month, been going to the pool and walking in water most mornings. I’m an early bird and there by 6am, and I love it then, it sets me up for the rest of the day. A few other walkers are joining me now the weather is warming up some.
Drs visit this morning and she was happy to see the scales going down, so was I. Would love them to be going down quicker but down is down…..and I’m feeling a hell of a lot better within myself. My knee love it too.
Not a lot has been happening in the world of Jen. I had my little one for the first week of school holidays (Kylee had to work)then she took them away camping for the last week of the school holidays, they enjoyed their time away.
Right, hubby bought in clothes of clothes line while I was out for lunch, so best get them folded up and put away.
Back again…
This last 4 weeks have flown by. I lasted the month without weighing myself till the morning of my Dr appointment.
Yay I lost, and close to what I thought I would. Dr was very happy as was I. Could have been more but it wasn’t till the third week that my knee allowed me to exercise. I’ve been getting up early and going to the pool and going water walking. I love it and really enjoying it as there especially as there are 3 others that I regularly see doing the same and we all have knee issues.
On Saturday my daughter and the kids came and picked us up and we went and visited a Forest Discovery Park. I managed to to walk around with them with no pain…though I didn’t attempt to climb any steps and do a tree top walk.
Was a lovely day out.
Ohhhh and don’t you love that pic with William and the emu….😍😍😍 That boy has a wicked sense of humour.
Just letting you know I’m still here. Knee is very painful and I’m limping around. Was feeling very sad and sorry for myself so carted myself up to my Dr. She is lovely and could see how frustrated I was. She sent off a letter to orthopaedic specialist and I now have a long wait until March before I can get to see him unless a cancellation comes up. Anyways my Dr told me quite bluntly I had to lose weight and gave me a diet and exercise plan to follow. Less weight my knee has to carry the better. Told me she would see me in a month, to hide my scales, to stay off them and she would weigh me at my next visit in a months time. Well I’ve got a less than a week to go now before I see her and I’m feeling quite good. I’ve followed her plan, not 100% as my knee wouldn’t allow a lot of the exercise (other than the last few days where I’ve gone to the pool and walked for 45 minutes) but food wise I’ve been good. No weighing myself either though that has been hard as I usually weigh at least once a week. I will weigh here the in morning of my Drs appointment though.
