I'm up too, and ready for swimming, the pool opens at 8 and it's a 15 minute walk in the rain, then it's farmers market, woo hoo!!!
I'm really tired today, despite having a long sleep yesterday in the afternoon and a full nights sleep last night. I think I must be hibernating. We had a wee bit of snow yesterday, it was very fleeting though and had melted within an hour.
I'd love to go swimming but the nearest pool which is tiny and about 4 miles away only has adults only swimming from 12 to 1 on weekdays. The rest of the time you fight for space with little boys **** bent on bombing everyone.
Are you eating enough calories? I used to diet on 1000 cals/day and I was sleepy all the time.
I think I am I'm around 1500 - 1800 a day. So I don't think it's that. I think its probably asthma related. I was just coming right and then they locked me in a room for a meeting, which had the new carpet in (that was Friday night) and I had another big attack - and now its unstable again. One step forward two steps back. So now I am congested and coughing again, and that tires me. Not enough good quality air getting in. The swimming today will help.
It'll be full of irresponsible, selfish adults until 9 then half an hour of relative piece, then brat city after 10.
Ick about your asthma kykers - can't you sue em or something!?
Veg - I didn't mean that about your wonderful forum information, I meant did anyone really want to know what scale is showing me at the moment?
We are going for a walk in the city and it's raining like billy-o here too! Oooh farmer's market, I think I missed Borough market yesterday We went to Tesco, does that count??
I'm up cos I can't sleep since we went to bed early but DF is snoring like a good 'un! I thought I might as well come on here and say hello!
I've just got back from an hour and a half walkies. I gave up when I got so wet my jeans wouldn't slip up and down over my knees with each step and my trainers had filled up with water so much that I was making squelch, squelch noises. When I took my trainers off I found my feet have gone black because I had a brand new pair of socks on and the dye has run. I also forgot to do the zip up on my jacket pockets so they filled up with water and my mobile phone is now a gonner.
I've left the dogs sitting in front of a log fire gently steaming and filling the house with the smell of soggy doggy - lovely! I'm also trying to work out why they have to wait until we get IN the house before they shake and why they only shake in whichever room has been newly decorated. I'm sure George had a malicious gleam in his eye when he shook.
Frus - YES - we want to know what your scales are showing - its lovely to know that someone is being successful. It gives us hope for our own future success.
kykaree - I hope the swimming helped your breathing. I've never suffered from it and I can't imagine how awful it must be not to be able to catch your breath.
Sarah - my back is better, losing a few pounds seemed to help it. I do have a pain in my hip now though I feel a bit rubbish though am on half strength anti d's as am coming off them feel all
{{{{{{{{ Veggie }}}}}}}}} Well done you on coming off the anti d's. That is SO not an easy thing to do.
The hip thing must be catching - I've made mine lots worse today by dusting off the exercise bike I was using to hang ironing on in the spare room. I pedalled like mad for 30 mins and then slid off and almost feel over when I tried to walk. My hip feels like its on fire now!!!!!
Ooh 'eck we must all have this hip 'thing' mines the right one which one is yours? X-rays came back clear but I still say its arthritic aches like a S-O-B all the time funny thing is though that mine feels better when i'm active told Doc and she said that Arthritis doctor told her that that is the best treatment for it..LOSE WEIGHT and get walking.

The swimming helped and I am off work tomorrow and the next day on annual leave, going in Wednesday then off for three days.
The swimming really helped this morning, and I had a lovely time in the pool. I still had a long sleep this afternoon. I'm not overly worried, my body is just doing what it needs to get better. I am trying to get into see the doctor this week. I might contemplate going on a short course of steroids, to try and get things under control before I start training for this run. I am anxious about running whilst it's so unstable.
Veggie have you tried anything natural for your depression? I used to get fairly bad anxiety followed by bouts of depression and found Rescue Remedy really helpful, they sell it at pharmacies, Boots, Superdrug, holland and Barratt, it should be around £3 to £4 a bottle. I had to come off Zoloft in a hurry as it gave me bad nausea and vomiting, and found the Rescue Remedy just as effective.
Then I started medicating depression with choclate and cake
Not recommended!
Hope we all start feeling better this week!!!! Asthma, hips, backs, we sound like the walking wounded!!! I hearby nominate frus and YP as group nurses!
Hi girls, hope all of your hips and bits and breathing is better soon.
Kyk, my daughter is an asthmatic, she's having a rough weekend here at the moment. It's because it's so dry here though, we've not had any rain in 116 days... a record by all accounts.
I'm not complaining though, we had 80 degrees today and it was beautiful. Meanwhile, Darling hubs is in connecticut in 2 foot of snow that came down today, blizzard conditions...he enjoyed it though, watched it through his window in his suite at the hotel he's staying in
I'm doing ok-ish with my plan. I've enrolled a friend from work to attend curves with me, so now if I feel like missing a day, guilt will get the better of me with my excuses that are not really good enough, as I will feel I'm letting her down... and I can't do that I'm not really that horrid.
I actually took my kids out to lunch today, it was wonderful, I had a chicken sandwich... not exactly low fat, but I don't know the exact points, so I won't worry about it...it was just wonderful spending time together with them. Our lives are all so hectic right now, we hardly see one another.
I have a mouse!!! EEEEEEK!
I found mouse droppings on the computer desk this morning... it's now had a thorough cleaning and there's a mouse trap situated behind the monitor. I haven't actually seen Mickey... but Hannah has, two friends have, and Dave thought he saw him a few weeks ago, before he left. His left behind droppings were the last straw... he has to go...I know if I do see him, I'll have a moment of being a big girls blouse, so wish me luck for catching him.
Everyone have a great week... I shall...keep up the good work all
The hot weather doesn't like me either. Hot and humid, hot and dry, they both set me off. I am much better in the cold. It's this stupid carpet at work, ridiculous! But a lot of others are now complaining, so that's good. The management are at a loss as to what to do with me, but they're trying their best!
I'm off work today, annual leave, and have gotten up at 6.15 am still, to go to the gym and swimming. I'm trying to get my front crawl really strong, in preparation for a swimming holiday next year. And possibly triathlon training in 2007/8 I need to relearn how to ride a bike first!!!!
I've been enjoying the limpics, been watching those crazy chaps on the luge, and the figure skating, ski jumping, and some snowboarding.
Hello all! What a bunch of crocks in the UK chicks
I'm just aching with DOMS but I'm sure it'll go after I beat the outta something tonight!
Oooh a triathlon miss K, lovely!
I spent the whole of Saturday morning kickboxing in one way or another - oh and shopping! I had a private lesson, helped out with the kiddies lesson, then went shopping while the really horrid guy had his own private lesson, then I came back and did some side kicks and helped with another private lesson I had a really great time though!
Back to the grind today - I really didn't want to come in today but I'm here and I'll live! I really need to get my arse in gear - I'm feeling slightly lazy
scale is showing me at the moment? 
Oooh farmer's market, I think I missed Borough market yesterday
