Go Bertie!

It's been painful but worth it! My weight loss had virtually ground to a halt and I was losing and gaining the same few pounds but I've got rid of them plus another one!! Will update my ticker when I can get on the laptop.

It's not funny!!!

I don't believe it!! I've just written a long post but lost it when I tried to upload it!

I'm tired and not sure I can remember everything I wrote but basically I was moaning that although Bertie has loosened slightly, I am still struggling. I'm not too worried as I am able to keep most things down, particularly drinks so I don't think he has slipped but it is a bit frustrating.

I went out with some friends last night and was dreading it as I was sure I wouldn't be able to eat. I know I couldn't manage much meat or anything too dense so I picked my food very, very carefully! I had lasagne which is a real safe bet as it is soft with minced meat which is easier to digest. To my surprise, I was able to eat it which was bliss as I hadn't had much to eat since Tuesday. I followed that with Tiramisu which I knew would practically slide down. It was lush but I couldn't eat it all - how empowering to leave some pudding!!

My main concern is that my glass of chilled white is not going down. I've had it for about two and a half hours and I haven't quite finished it. It is tasting acidic which is a big worry - I changed to white when red started to be acidic. I hope this is a temporary situation, I'm not sure I could cope with life without wine!!!

Still, in all fairness, I think Bertie is just doing his job. I am a bit puzzled that the tightness has suddenly increased for no apparent reason but I suppose I should be grateful, it is like getting a free fill!!

Bertie - you're a brute!

I'm not sure what is going on but Bertie is not a happy chappie! I woke up early this morning with a heavy feeling in my chest which has not gone away. Bertie feels really tight. I've had two hot drinks to try and loosen him up but to no avail. Consequently, all I've managed to eat so far today is a yogurt and a few bites of a really yummy wrap - how frustrating!

I think something might be stuck as I had problems with my dinner last night. If it doesn't improve I'll give the bariatric nurse a call - after I've shifted a few pounds of course!!

Better luck next time...

Well, my first cycle of fertility treatment didn't work. I suppose it was a big expectation. We will just have to keep trying!
We have started looking at possible wedding venues which is quite exciting but we can't make any real plans yet just in case the treatment works! I don't want to waddle down the aisle - well, any more than I would normally!
Work has been crazy these last two weeks, I'm so glad it's the weekend. We have no plans today so I expect to be chilling out! Tomorrow we are going to see a good friend of mine who I don't get to see of enough. They have got a rescue dog since I last saw her so we're going to get the dogs introduced and then have lunch - yum!
Bertie is being awful at the moment, I'm really struggling at times. The scales don't reflect it but a lot of people have commented so something must be going on.
We went to a meeting in the village on Monday about the village institute. I am such a soft touch, I somehow ended up on the committee! Still it should help us get to know some of our neighbours. Monday's meeting was quite hilarious, there were times when i thought we'd stumbled onto the set of The Vicar of Dibley! Should make for interesting committee meetings!! All good fun!

Happy Valentine's Day

Well, I'm still resorting to mobile posting as I just don't seem to get any time at home on my own to post in peace!
Work has been full on this week, lots of naughty people including some having sex in the stationery cupboard - there are some cases that make it worth all the stress!
My dad had his knee replaced on Tuesday so I've been going in to visit him a lot - all went well and he is now home.
So it's been a tough week. Still I had a great facial and manicure yesterday so I feel good and not ashamed of showing off my ring!
Hope you are spending the day with the one you love! we're off to look at a potential wedding venue...!

Foiled again!

Well, my plan to post properly this week was thwarted by my boyfriend failing his medical for work and being signed off for two weeks!! This mobile posting is great but it is on a tiny touch screen so very fiddly!

I can't believe how quick the week went. It's flashed by in a blurr or should I say dazzle? All I seemed to do all week was flash the bling!

Excitement seems to be good for the figure as the weight is showing signs of moving again - at last!

Must dash, got shopping to do and got to get to the hairdressers and my eyes are going cross eyed with this screen!

Very exciting!!!

Just a quick post to tell you that I got engaged at the weekend! I'm so excited. Will do a full post later in the week - when I stop grinning like a mad woman!
