Drained

I've been in a bit of a down phase recently. The pain and fatigue have been bad and there have been a lot more bad days than good. Possibly because I've been using up my reserves on a fair few social events of late with birthdays galore! It is nice to go out and see friends, something I have been missing for a long while, and I really enjoyed it but it takes a lot out of me.

I'm also in full birthday planning mode! My daughters fifth birthday is looming and she asked and asked for a swimming party, which she is getting of course, which means a swim followed by party time in our local pools party room. Full frozen theme, what a suprise lol. It's going well (I hope) and I promise to post photos when it's all over, but for now I am one knackered mummy baking and sticking and filling away!

In other news the new meds are interesting, I had the mother of all migraines a few days after starting which I think was just coincidence (again I hope!) and now they just make me over tired at night, which I guess should help me sleep. Pain clinic said I need to give them some time before moving up the dosage so we shall see how it all goes.

Actually this has turned out to be a pretty boring and flat entry, but I guess that's how I am feeling lately, just thoroughly drained.

Slimming World

So I thought I would do a little update on how I am finding the whole slimming world journey!

I have to say of all the plans and diets and what nots I have tried in the past this is by far the best in my opinion. Its more focused on being a healthy eating plan and certainly something I can see myself following long term etc

But boy do I miss cake. Like REALLY miss cake.

But i'm doing ok, 4th week weigh in saw me a total of 9lbs down so its slow and steady and thats meant to be the best way to help keep it off right? But anyway as I had passed the half stone mark (yey go me!) I got my first award! I love that you get awards and stuff to keep you motivated though unfortunately at my group we only get the stickers but never mind! I also got my bronze award for excercise which is awesome AAAAAAAAAAAAAND I won slimmer of the week! So all in all it was a pretty awesome week lol.



So yeah I'm happy so far and just hope I can keep it up and keep loosing until I reach my goal.

In other news I have been started on some new meds for migraines which coincidently is also used to treat fibro, so will see how that goes!
