Day 44

Mike -

Tired today. Really really tired. I was asleep last night before Liz got home but hadn't been for long and Jack had me up again at half 6 this morning. Hopefully a good night sleep tonight and ill be back on form tomorrow. We took Jack to a soft play centre in Maidstone which he really enjoyed. Most of the day he has been good but he has such a temper on him and it spoils the time we have with him. The issues he has are very complex indeed but he will always be my little boy.

We went and watched the football at my mum and dads. Not the greatest game i have ever seen but it was a good result none the less. It was nice to spend time with my mum and dad too.

Last night i did an hour on the exercise bike when Jack went to sleep and i think i might just do the same again tonight to keep myself busy while Liz works. Exercise will surely help me get in good shape as i have lost a lot of weight now.

Tomorrow we get back in to the routine of school runs and work and we hope for exciting news.

Carpe Diem 4L

Liz -

Today has been tough, I went to bed feeling rough and woke up feeling exactly the same. An early wake up call again! but i tried to stay in bed a little longer this morning. We had our first shake of the day and I felt a little more alive. We were off out today to a soft play centre with Jack, then to see Mike's mum & dad so i needed my energy for this. We had also run out of milk so couldn't take a second shake with us.

I had a few cups of decaf tea whilst out and my daily water was going down well, although trips to the bathroom were ongoing still.

We came home to our second shake of the day, we had chocolate yum yum. We then chilled together for a bit on the patio whilst Jack was happy playing with his new toys from Nanny & Grandad.

It's been a tough day today and i've had a splitting headache since this morning (not diet related, more injury). So my patience has been a bit thin but i've made it through and i'm off to work tonight.

The landlady (Dawn) and I will be having a lovely veg dinner this evening (Can't tell you what yet as keeping it a secret from Michael) but we are both very much looking forward to trying something different.

Tomorrow I am not at work as I have to take a couple of people to hospital appointments so in between these I plan to relax and hopefully feel a little better by the evening as it's time for some pampering and to get my nails redone.

As i've said before it's usually it's days like this that I want to give in and just have something to eat, but today I haven't so much felt the need to eat to get rid of the stress, i've just let it work itself out. My mindset towards food must be changing - one positive to have come out of this process (along with the weight loss of course).
