Sarah Ann,

If you think it might help you please e-mail me directly. I will be able to help you with your exercise routine and give you some specific tips on how to lower that BP with or without drugs. You've done really well to drop the weight and it would be a pity if your GP can't give you the all clear for fostering, especially if I could help.

I really think I could help you but I don't want to be too pushy, so I'll leave it up to you. Read you soon,

veggie , sarah im glad youse can talk about it on here rather than bottling it up .....

veggie: is there no one you could complain to about that trainer, she is so obviously not doing her job properly and to treat people like that she must be a bittter twisted **** if you were no good at the job veggie you wouldnt have got past the interview stage so the company must think you have what it takes

sarah: my god what can i say after all this , to find out your doctor may not say your fit, i really do hope you take stef up on her offer though even if it means changing eating/exercise habits again you will do it ....the life changes you have made to be able to give a child a safe haven really should be enough for any social work dept. you will get there though sarah plz dont give up hope yet......all is not lost

big hugs for you and veggie

Sarah & veggie (sorry if I have missed anyone out) - just to let you know I am thinking of you and I am sure everything will be ok. Sorry I can't be more constructive, but I am thinking of you both.

Talking Exercise........errr I am starting today

I have dragged this thread back up because my serious exercise regimes starts (and hopefully doesn't finish..) today.
I am doing the flora womens challenge today in Hyde park, it is a 5km race around the park. I am doing it with my friend yvonne and it will be a fast walk rather than a jog!!
Here goes, what are you all going to be doing in the way of exercise today?

Exercise today for me is going to be very informal. Foot is still palying up a little, doctor reckons it is stress and weight (surprise surprise) that is causing it to ache.

So today I am going to clean a little in the house and cut the back grass. As well as taking the boys to the park, although they will get the exercise out of that not me. All burns cals though

may even manage a few situps - TQ think you have talked me into it

Carol - what's up with your foot? (sorry I've not been around and have to catch up).

Well done TQ - let us know how you get on.

I joined a gym last week and have been 3 times so far. I haven't had my induction yet on the weights so I'm just going on the bike, stepper, running machine and rowing machine for as long as I can without falling off!! Then I've been to the pool (very brave indeed I think) and done about 20 lenghts (not a huge pool) then 20 mins in the jacuzzi to catch my breath. I did that yesterday and today so I think that makes up for the pizza I just scoffed Although I do feel awfully guilty.

Default I did it!!

If Dave had used the digital camera i would have been able to show you the results....................that is one shattered looking TQ, it was very hot and being amongst 25,000 bodies made it very warm in deed.
We went for a long walk after a picnic lunch, i steered well clear of the goodies and had a sensible, on track lunch. Heres to a good week next week for all of us.................

Broke my foot years ago and sprained it a few weeks ago and the pain hasn't gone away completely. It always aches when I get stressed and I have been very stressed recently. But if I weighed less there would be less stress on it.

TQ you are amazing

Delaney - wish I had time to go to the gym. Am downright jealous - am positively green with envy. Feel at the moment I am running full speed all day and still standing still never getting ahead of even catching up in anything.

Did the house work, we didn't make the park and no sit ups yet. But I have an alternative form of exercise planned for when Ray comes home - sorry can't resist ...........................

Default AAAhhhhhhhhhgggggggghhhhhhh!!

Have just come back from swimming!! didn't get into the pool until 9.20pm, the world was against me going swimming tonight but I went slamming the door behind me (one of THOSE nights!!)
I managed 22 lengths and am now back home with an options belgian choc drink and a finger of triple choc twix, no idea about the weight watchers points but well within my calories.

I am so stressed and have only been back at work half a day and the kids aren't back till tomorow. Harry's first day in the juniors and I think I am worse than him with nerves!!

Will drink rescue remedy water tomorrow and think calm thoughts, night night everyone!!

TQ. hope you are feeling rested and relaxed now after your options and twix.
I start back to work tomorrow, no kids until next Monday though, thank the Lord! In fact, tomorrow is a convocation for the whole district's staff, so we get to meet the new people. It' actually held in the Officer's club here on base, courtesy of the AF and we get fed throughout the day too. I am planning on being good and trying to eat fruit instead of the fattening stuff while I'm there.
Hope everyone has a good week, welcome back Delany, you sound like you're doing great with the losing, way to go!
