Week 45 done and dusted, apologies for no update last week,
I tried to do one a couple of times and realised that in that time my life was
so dull in that period I decided not to torture you with it….
The summary of the week before last is ‘work, work, work,
handovers from people leaving the business zzzzzzzzzz – dog walking, life good,
blah blah blah’
Mother’s day as always was emotional and nostalgic, I still
can’t quite wrap my head around the reality that she’s gone, let alone that
they are all gone. Gareth bless him was awesome with me crying all over him
randomly.
The only real thing of note is that I tried to go back on
the Cambridge Weight Plan as slimming world really doesn’t work for me. Unfortunately,
after 3 days of waiting for Ketosis to kick in and feel that spike of energy
the mental clarity and the boost to my mood I realised it would never happen.
Cambridge has more than doubled the amount of Carbs in their products – the nirvana
of Ketosis was no longer achievable.
A low carb Ketosis diet works for me, it’s my weight loss
method of choice, so out came the carb counting app, the ketone sticks and some
wonderful internet resources. Boom – 8lb’s lost (well it’s the first week so
most of that is water but I’ll take it) happy me.
The dogs are loving spring and the longer days, the sunshine
and just the general upward turn in positivity, they had their first formal
meet, greet and play with next door’s puppy yesterday afternoon, Rocky-Dog was
a little nervous – they’re only the 2nd other dogs he’s ever met but
he seemed to want to play, so hopefully group walkies at K9PP soon for them all
for socialisation and fun.
In other news on the 24th I had my Month 10
bloods taken and as usual Basingstoke Path Lab took a week to turn them round.
My naughty thyroid probably now deserves to be called a ‘reformed thyroid’ I
can’t keep saying it’s naughty when that one month of blip has now been
followed by 3 months of good behaviour I think. Lymphocytes continue their slow
and steady march back to the low end of normal (breed slowly little Lymphocytes
– a fully functioning immune system in me is highly over-rated)
The little voice in my head does slightly wonder what
changes may happen to my blood and pee results next month as a result of the
diet – I will make sure that the lovely Dr C and the equally lovely Margaret
know what I’m doing closer to next month’s bloods.
So here it is in it’s usual format for the blood watcher out
there.
Enjoy, (the bloods and Spring) xxx
