    Re: Bike Seat

    Hello Blossom,

    So sorry to hear about your Husbands fluctuating state of health. At stressful times in life such as these, it is awsomely difficult to diet and to not seek comfort or solace in the golden pantry of goodies. That I can understand completely.You poor thing. Big hugs. Perhaps some strategies to help you avoid the biscuit tin might help - what ? Not sure though ....................... Phone a friend, post on the net here at FOH, pull out weeds for 5 minutes, drink a glass of water. Oh who am I trying to kid - I'd be stuffing my face too.

    Good news on the bike seat and I like your sneaky strategy to make sure Mr Insensitive Pri*ck did not get the sale - Yeah you !!! A nice big bike seat purchased with nice big dignity  -  You go girl !

    You can get there - you know you can, just take it all one step at a time and be gentle on yourself - you got alot happening at the mo.

    Love and hugs dear Melonhead,

    Ruby

    Re: Bike Seat

    Thanks so much tainted and Ruby.

    I am MAKING myself LOVE xmas even tho i now weigh MORE than i did LAST xmas lol.

    its ok, im not dwelling on it. I have stopped medicating myself with food though and I have been out laying pavers today to get the muscles going again. Its so odd. I can lift rocks etc weighing 10 to 20 kilos. i can lug pavers stacked, for hours and hours. i can dig and rake and generally do a damn hard days work , no prob. but when it comes to walking i could die lol. whats up with that? I have strength but no stamina, does that sound right? totally weird. oh and how can it be that i am fitter than i was a year ago but now i weigh more lol. my knees are practically pain free, my feet now give me 8 hours instead of 3, yet i weigh more. 18 months since i smoked by the way so maybe thats whats making me feel better. god i smoked like a chimney. how does one expand there lungs? i find this one hill that i do just leaves me gasping, totally unable to expand my lungs any more. will this change with practice? i can walk now, i just havent because A. im too scared to cripple myself again B. i get depressed because i ate so much more and got MORE weight to lose and C. im so lazy. im going to ride my bike tonite. I have a targeted place. its 2.2 kilometres one way. so tonite is the bike seat test girls. if i dont come back crying in pain like i did with the last seat i will personally endorse this seat and go back to gold cross to get the brand name for ya'all

    my husbands health is stable. i thank you for your hugs, i feel very scared at times, always wary of being hopeful just incase he comes home with the symptoms getting worse and i am helpless to make him better. and i wallow in self pity coated in chocolate then cry to him im so fat yet here he is losing the use of his limbs. argh, seeing that written just put things in perspective. a good slap of reality.

    hugs all

    Mel

    Re: Bike Seat

    Good to hear your happy and loving the spirit of xmasGrin1- myself i am finding wants to declare war on the overcrowded EVERYTHINGS in the shopping vacinity at the moment!BangHead I look forward to hearing your feedback on the gel seat- when i borrowed my friends bike for a short time her gel seat was sooo nice- still havent got one for my tush yet...! I think the only reason you'll come back crying in pain if you do is because of the actual rding- leg muscles with lactic acid build up the next day and what not but it is a GOOD pain! You might need to ask Ray about the lifting and walking up hills and strength vs stamina thing. Good work on the Q   uitting of smoking tho, you have obviously discovered that you feel so much better.Big Smile

    Good to hear that hubby is stable ~more hugs for the both of you~

    You are fantabulous woman!

    Re: Bike Seat

    Hi melon, sorry to hear about your husband, we are all hoping for the best.

    Its hard to not go for the comfort foods in times like that, that keep up the good work.  You seem to have a positive spin on things atm.

    Let us know how the bike seat goes, thats one of the big things that stops me riding, i get a sore butt on the seat.

    2007

    well hello journal and to all the people in journal reading land

    my husband has been diagnosed with LSS which is a cids which is alot of letters i know but its in the same family as MS. so its for life and it is life altering. our lives have changed and with it has come the new determination for me to get fit. i have to. you should see me go now. i have a mp3 player, a new pedometer with a heart monitor, my bike with my big fat bike seat that feels like a mobile lounge chair and my treadmill and im off . yep, im movin and my knees and feet that could barely move a year ago, well i dunno what the hell happened but theyre movin with me. i still need my codiene after a long day and sometimes halfway thru the day i have to take panadol so i can walk that little bit further but im movin none the less.

    i dunno how everyone else went with the fires but i noticed i was incredibley short of breath around that time and it was like i was smoking again. oh and by the way 20 months since i quit smokin 2 packs a day:P  i gotta get fit. my lungs feel fine now but those fires and the smoke made it so hard for me to breath that i was getting anxious that i had something terrible wrong with me. it passes on clear smoke free days tho so panic averted.

    i feel for all those with asthma.i dont know how you coped, i feel like a bit of a whinger actually but the shortness of breath did give me a bit of a fright.

    anyhow. i hope everyone had a safe and happy new year. i cant wait for the new biggest loser. AWESOME i am so glad we got jillian altho i still like kym.

    thank goodness bob got rid of his mullet, wth was he thinking, hopefully jillian bashed some fashion sense into him.

    im off. energy to burn...... /waves

    Re: 2007

    What a start to the year

    my last child started school on feb 1st and i vowed i would walk him to school and back every day. the only excuses for not walking are excessive heat or if i have to work/volunteer etc

    well i have walked every single day since 1st of feb cept on weekends

    first 3 days i picked him up by car because i had errands to run. yesterday was my first day walking him there , leaving him and walking home and then walking to pick him up which is a total of 8.8 kilometres of walking. NOT BAD !!!!!!!!!!

    I M stuffed i tell ya. my old injuries are screaming BUT not in a bad way, just in an "omg you want us to work hard again" way. my back hurts my head hurts, my feet hurts but i have stuck to my vow and i have walked to his school every single day and now i am doing the full 8.8 klm PLUS walking to shops if theyre less than 2klms(which is all of the shops around here, even bunnings and spotlight woot)

    so i gotta push thru this pain and remembering to drink my water has helped immensely with headaches and fatigue.

    not game enuff to ride my bike there yet coz its peak hour and i will be too self concious.

    hope everyone else is doin well too

    /wave

    August 2008 PERSEVERANCE(SP?) oh you know what I mean

    ahh buggah, im back in my journal again and my old weight loss bar has my previous figure at 94 kilos. I am 97 now and slowly m very slowly losing weight again. I have limited my junk food intake. This is my problem and I know it. I am a junk food addict PLUS I eat to excess to get some kind of warped high from being full after you are starving, yet I was never hungry because I always ate. It was just like smoking all over again. Well, this is my fourth week of back on healthy. I only eat multigrain bread(limited) no pasta, no rice, no potatoes, no chocolate, no chips, no take away( except for celbration things and calories are taken into my daily account) I am on 1400 cals a day, I find that any lower than that and my anaemia and other old ailments come back. I am carrying so much fluid its scarey and have to watch every ounce of salt I eat. I am hoping that will go down after I get to a lower weight.

    I have my phone alarm set to remind me to drink water, yes, I am that hopeless at drinking water. So far i Managed 2 days of drinkiong 500ml of water in the whole month. I need to improve that I know. So in summary

    My diet is great. I should be losing more weight for how well my diet is going. I attribute that to sendentary life style. I spent 3 days a week ago gutting my studio and refurbishing it and I didnt lose any weight but lost 3 inches around my waste and lost of excess fat around my shoulders.

    So it must be my age also. 42 now and not so great at burning fat off. well not that 3 days of hard slog out of 4 weeks will burn much.

    so again back to summary, more water, more exercise. its as simple as that.

    im going to reflect on how easy that sounds and put it into action. First to formulate a solid routine and like my new healthy diet, STICK TO IT.

    September 2008 PERSEVERANCE

    yay 95 kilos.

    what did I do  right? I dont binge any more and i dont buy chocolate every night (big family block) infact, i dont buy it at all now . well done me.

    what can i do this month. get drinking water habit sorted, my effort is pathetic

                                         walk more - use the blinking tread mill, put more songs on mp3 player so you cant say " but its so boring bla bla bla"  make yourself do it

                                         do more housework - good exercise and good for self esteem

                                         work in the garden - this is a workout in itself. stop making excuses, you love gardening melonhead

    so in summaryWALK MORE CLEAN MORE GARDEN MORE

    i love lecturing myself publically lol
