Here we are back at week 44 for the second time. The
potential hypo-thyroid thing has me now having a valid reason to not eat
broccoli (YAY) cauliflower and cabbage (boo) and to be honest I am still me. I’ll
have more bloods done towards the end of the month and see what’s happening but
life continues as normal.
I spent the weekend helping a friend get her house ready to
go on the market later this week. 7 ½ hours on both Saturday and Sunday
painting, plastering, cleaning and moving furniture around. I knew I was doing
it in advance so I could plan the extra sleep and plan for feeling pretty
busted afterwards – and busted I am LOL …. I feel like most of my body has been
beaten with a big stick but I’m not having pseudo symptoms so that’s a real
bonus. In the past I would have had returned numbness and balance problems with
this much exertion, but this time well I guess this is just how non MS people
feel after doing a lot of hard work for a couple of days when it’s not part of
their usual routine so that is a REALLY big bonus for me.
The diet is a bit swirly after Saturday night. Thinking back
I remember talk of a Zombie themed dinner party with ‘body parts’ as the menu
theme, but Gareth and I clearly forgot this as we had dinner before going over
there and as a result had 2 dinners on Saturday night and the second one was
laden with Syns that Slimming World definitely would not approve of – but damn
it was good – the brain shaped White Chocolate and Espresso truffles were a
masterpiece and something we are going to have to work hard to match up to next
time we have Mr and Mrs C over for dinner.
Work has been – well – work like not exciting or dull just
more of the same this last week.
Oh and we had SNOW – well what passes for snow here in the
UK. 5 days of the TV and radio predicting ‘end of days’ type weather, with
people panic shopping for the essentials and planning for not being able to
leave the house for a week. In reality we had heavy snow that didn’t stick
because it had been raining for days beforehand and it simply wasn’t cold
enough. Within an hour of it stopping everything had stuck on cars or lawns had
melted and ‘The Great Blizzard’ was over, the only evidence it had even been
there was the lack of bread, milk and Pringles in the shops and supermarkets
LOL
This week I’m planning to do a whole lot of nothing when I’m
not working, long soaks in the bath to sooth the achy bits and early nights. Hopefully
slimming world tonight will yield some positive results despite the Saturday
night faux pas with dinner and I’ll beat Gareth in the weight loss statistics.
Much love and warm thoughts for you all (especially those
with ‘real’ snow) xxxx
