It has been a long time..
So it has been a long time since I posted so I will catch over the next few days..
I have decided that I am tooooooo fat and taken myself off to the Wesley weight management clinic. It is expensive.. $ 4,500 for the twelve month program and that doesn't include the shakes. I think that at the end it will cost around $6,500. Money that I would prefer to put towards a house deposit for Mattee and me. I feel guilty spending that much money on myself. The thing that frustrates me the most is that I have already lost 50 kgs a few years ago.. did it myself - high protein, personal training once a week and walking an hour and fifteen minutes a day, oh and I use to do about 15,000 steps a day now about 5,000 dratted desk job. I was skinner when I met Mattee.. Then came the bilateral labrynthitis for 4 weeks, then the diagnosis of rheumatoid arthritis, then finding out that my thyroid hasn't been working well for the last five years, then the pertussis complicated by pneumonia oh and then the bilateral pitting edema in my lower legs. Over it all now but I went from being an active person to being on the couch all the time. Food intake didn't go down and up went the weight!! Fun fun fun..
So off to the Wesley with me. Anyway it is five "shakes" a day and 150g of protein and 2 cups of vegies, approximately 1100 calories a day. Not much but I need to do something to get my weight down so that I can get back to being active again. I have been doing it for about ten days and have lost five kgs. 0.5kgs/day. I have gotten a pedometer and I am trying to do 10,000 steps a day to begin with.
During this time I have cooked 15 little boiled fruit and choc chip cakes, three lots of rum balls, white christmas and two lots of russian caramel. All very yummy and I have mainly been very good. Just taste testing |:-(.
Anyway off to dinner.. See ya soon..
