OMG Ani are you ok? Still, like Lindor I can't help but chuckle at the image. Reminds me of a funny incident when I was little.
When I was about 8 or 9, my cousin (was 10) lived across the road from a caravan park. We both, & a friend went over to 'play' in the amentities block. We soaked the floors, & soaped the floors & played naked skids. Well, we heard someone coming & bolted.... My cousin first into the bath cubicle, then me & I turned, shut & bolted the door. I forgot about our friend. SHe was right behind me & hit full body into the door then slid underneath slamming against the bathtub. I just laughed and laughed it looked so funny. The poor girl was screaming in agony, & my cousin was scolding me for laughing while trying to hold a straight face herself. The girl ended up with a broken leg. My cousin & I ended up with a red bum & broken egos. Needless to say she wasn't our friend anymore & we were grounded forever (well it seemed that long).
Enough of that anyhow. really Ani I do hope yr ok. A fall doesn't tickle at anytime, let alone it's when yr foot gets caught that causes it. How bloomin high is yr door off the floor? Or do u have dainty feet?
Lindor isn't it awful when yr parents are yr worse critics. When I was big before this time (how depressing that sounds) I ended up losing 24kg. I hadn't seen my dad in a year & he never said a word until I was leaving I asked him what he thought - big mistake. He turned around & said to me, "Yeah thats good Von but yr arms are still big". Like how negative & a kick in the guts. I have not talked to him much since.
JennyLee are you feeling any better? Don't panic about no real weight loss while sick. Yr body has just gone into conservation mode & once you get back in the swing of eating properly yr body will swing back with you.
Seems we all have some ache or pain with our lower body (knees, tendon injuries etc...) I see a pattern emerging with excess weight and lower body injury. Hopefully when we all get closer to our goals the pain lessens.
I don't know if any of you remember but waaaayyyyy back in the peace I said something about my knee playing up & was prob due to a fall years ago??? I had recently had xrays on it and nothing came up. Apparently could be arthritis setting in.. oh yay! But since I haven't been walking it hasn't been hurting that bad. I think I might try some new shoes see if that helps.
Anyhow I'll shush now. I started out comiserating with some of you & I ended up being selfish & 'all about me'. Perhaps the crap day at work I just had hasn't helped.
Kylie?? Are you out there? Are you ok? Worried about u darl . Give us a holler so we know yr still lurking there somewhere. Even if a simple "I'm here".
After starting the week well, I've gone over calories (by a LOT) for the past 2 days - biscuit binges!! Just reminds me why I shouldn't buy the crapola, as I'll eat them all at once. Some things don't change...
I'm glad I was able to be a source for your amusement Lindor and Vonni. Your sympathy in my hour of need was very touching I'm rather bruised and sore today - and feeling a bit weird.
And no, I don't have dainty feet. It's an old house and the bathroom door is kind of unique. I guess the fact that it jammed my foot underneath it stopped me from doing the splits – now that would have been elegant.
I'm frustrated that I can't exercise, and I ate too much today. Blurk! So I may need to starve myself tomorrow if I'm going to lose any weight this week – just joking!!!
Sorry this is brief and self-indulgent. I've had a couple of Panadeine Forte and they addle my brain. Hopefully tomorrow I can go for a tiny little walk.
Hey Lindor, did you end up spending the day on the couch with a book?
I must go to bed - sorry I didn't reply personally to everyone, but I've read all your posts and keeping up with what's happening.
It's ok, loves, I'm still kicking. Spent last night with old friends, reminiscing about a mate who passed away 2 years ago. It was great to see them, I don't see them much anymore. We all just grew off in different directions, but we're all still heaps close.
Well, my little black hole isn't getting any smaller or lighter. That said, I have these weird little interludes of a few days at a time where I feel fairly normal. Then *CRASH* back to Planet Kylie! Never mind, I'm off to the doc tomorrow, I don't know what I'm going to say.
I think someone must have loosened the bolts that hold the wheels onto our bandwagon. They are sounding a little wobbly for most of us. Is there a planet out of alignment this month or something??

Sorry team...
82.9kg this week!!
That's up .3kg!
And like a broken record, I will promise myself that I will be good this week! Unfortunately, I don't feel those words are very convincing.
Maybe I should just be satisfidied that I have lost 30kg and my body has decided that 82 - 84kgs is my goal. I feel like I am going around and around in circles...and that is depressing me.
Well another miserable effort for the team - I gained 1kg this week!! Will definitely pull my finger out this week and start eating properly. Not having groceries delivered last week screwed me up.
I gained too - and I have very little idea why. Three days ago I weighed myself and was 88.2kg… today I am 89.4kg - so I'm up 0.6kg on last week.
The only thing I can think of is my back has caused this sudden 1.2kg jump. Yesterday I bent down to pick something up from the floor, and I got these shooting pains in my lower back. Then my back stiffened up and I've been in agony every since. I can't sit, can't bend back or forward – and I'm in a lot of pain.
I think this is a consequence of my fall the other day - and I KNOW I have either prolapsed or ruptured a disc.
So am I carrying fluid from this injury? Does pain/inflammation do that? I also had 6 Panadeine Forte (not all at once ) yesterday - would that affect me hanging on to weight?
This is just great. Getting stuffed discs in my back, and not being able to move much was why I put weight on in the first place. I am not in a very good mood I have to say.
Sorry team - I was working really hard to get a good result for us. Now this!!!
Sorry, I have not been able to get to the gym to weigh in. Been busy getting grand daughter into the local school. Looks like she's here for a while.
I feel like I have put on as well. I haven't worked out since last Friday.
I will post it up when I can
yeesh Perth chick that sounds soo painful, Have you tried s heat pad or something on your lower spine, it may help to relax the muscle.
Elerine, hope your doc trip goes well.
Well Hi ho, Hi ho, is back to work i go, another day another 50cents.
Be good
Mary I've done heat pads, hot showers, deep heat, panadeine forte… nothing's working at all. It's disc damage
I just rang a close friend and asked her for help - but it was inconvenient today. I've got a deadline to meet, and can't take painkillers today because I need a clear head - and a new back would be useful too.
I have also gained 0.5kg, I am 115kg. I know I ate a lot of bad choices last week, and yesterday I went to a friends house and couldnt help eating some of the nibblies. Back to sensible eating this week.
I'm crazy!! Well, I have depression. Close enough!
Nah, the doc was great - really understanding. Apparently meds wont work on their own, I need to "deal with it." (all the crappy goings-on). She suggested that I take some time off from uni, maybe even withdraw and start again next semester, but I'm not too keen about that.
There's a wait to see the psychologist, but it'll only be $10 a visit, not $80. So that's something. I feel a bit better now that I've done something about it.
Kylie
PS Ani, I am sorry to read about your back. Bathroom Ballet, hey?
elerine, I was never able to get my depression under control until I went to a counceller. She REALLY helped me out and I'm thinking of going back for my self esteem issues. I think my work pays for three a year so I might go to that. A lot of the stuff we talked about was stuff I 'knew', but until someone else pointed it out it never really worked.
I've injured my bicep! I thought it was my shoulder, until my mum put Deep Heat on it and went over my bicep. So painful! I'm going to the doctors tomorrow to make sure its not serious (of course that makes me a hypochondriac according to my mum. The fact that I've had a week off upper body weights and it flared striaght back up is irrelevant)
Renny Sue, docs are pretty useless with soft tissue injuries. Can you try an osteopath or physio?
Kylie, maybe consider the doctor's advice - I ended up screwing up one semester's results at uni when I should have deferred for a while and dealt with my crap. What is one semester out of your life? ON the other hand, maybe uni is a positive outlet for you, in which case it might help to stay on... anyhow, I'm sure you'll figure that out.
Renny Sue - I hope your arm gets better - let us know what the DR says
Kylie - I hope you are feeling better soon too.
I am about to go to bed - we had a busy day - took Liam to music lessons, got his hair cut, washed the car, went to an afternoon meeting for work (I dont work Mondays), got Liam's stuff labelled with his name ready for his first day at preschool tomorrow, and took Liam to swimming lessons.
I am not having a good start to the week - I'm up 0.5kg from last week and it looks like my son's goldfish might die overnight - I am pretty sure - we got home this afternoon and I noticed his tail, with white pus like stuff over it, the other little fish were stalking him, and he was distressed I got a big vase ready with water conditioner and transferred him over thinking that I might be able to get some drops to treat his tail in isolation, but he is not sitting on the bottom not moving much. I am sad, I am preparing Liam by saying that Pumpkin is sick, and he wanted to give him some medicine, I said mummy might have to take him to the doctor... if Pumpkin doesnt recover - I think I will tell him he is at the animal doctor - I think 3 years is just a little to young to explain life and death - do you? And then go out and buy a new one, I will still speak to the pet shop, because I wonder if the other fish may get the same thing....
Reminds me of a funny incident when I was little.
I just laughed and laughed it looked so funny. The poor girl was screaming in agony, & my cousin was scolding me for laughing while trying to hold a straight face herself.
