Hi @carorees I love this WOE as it allows me to skip breakfast! It's only occasionally I eat it now.
I'm tending to eat later - 4-9pm and this is working. Last night I didn't eat until 5.30 and stopped by 8. Dinner was delicious and high in cals - spinach , ricotta, onions and cheddar cooked in butter and wrapped in filo. I munched on sunflower seeds for snacking. I have also discovered what could be my downfall.........crabbies alcoholic fruits! The raspberry and rhubarb was like drinking a dessert
I haven't bought ice cream this week, so that should help with the late night snacking.
I'm having another busy week -
Monday - thumb X-ray to check for OA, then off to tuckingmill to buy new camper foam (which they had to recut again), we then visited the new respite centre - which is lovely, but the adaptations are more of a token gesture as there are no suitable bathing/changing facilities as yet! Then we dropped Cyril off for his service. I drove him, with ka in front seat next to me and she was lovely!
We found out OH grandad is in hospital as he fell
Yesterday we had a paediatrician appointment and he has brought up the fact that we haven't got the community nurses booked for Ka's nursing needs when we get home (I hadn't thought that far ahead) he's organising that. But I got fed up of trying to ignore him saying 'such big surgery' etc so I am having to accept it I suppose
The old hoisting was removed from bedroom and bathroom. ka was in respite so I had a couple of crabbies fruits.
We bought sweets and sent a comfort parcel to grandad. We also have one ready to post today with party poppers, silly string, hats and pimms for a ward party
Today they're fitting upstairs hoists and sanding/ painting hall wall, stairlift repairs
Tomorrow - new, temporary front door, bedroom door and I'm pretty sure there's something else - got it....ka breaks up from school
Friday bathroom door
That will be pretty much it - just proper front door and shower table late August.
Then I will get Ka's case and my bag packed for hospital next Thursday. We should be home the following Tuesday.
So everything should be settling down in a couple of weeks. I'm not aiming to get back on 5:2 until end of August so the spring fall challenge won't be achieved
