The week that was.

First up - band news. Where am I with this little piece of sunshine? Doing okay right now I think. On one hand - I was worried that I had lost a whole lot of restriction because I have been battling hunger which has led me - in my run full tilt life - to make some not so good food choices. Or at least it was like that over the past week or so until a couple of days ago. I have reined myself back in and have been eating just like I should, including upping my water intake, and when I did that I found I still have the capacity to only eat around a half a cup to a cup of food. That's the good news. 

When I was grazing all day, it seemed like I was taking so much more in, which I no doubt was. But again, when I stick to eating the way I should, with protein being the first and foremost foods I get down, then the band works! I have almost lost that weight I put on (around 2/3's of a kilo or 1.6 pounds) and to be honest, I'm glad it's gone. Now it means starting again working on that 2 + kilos I have to get to, to get to goal. Ack! Right now, it feels just like it used to in the old pre-band days when I had to be conscious of every morsel of food going in my mouth - and that kind of sucks. I don't see the Doc until middle of next month - so depending on how things go over the next week, I might try to get in earlier for a touch of fill. That in itself worries me - with all the talk of reflux some of you girls are getting, I don't want to add myself to that list. So I guess he and I will be doing some talking about what needs doing.

Other things happening right now are: No 1. son has been accepted into University. He is going to tackle a double major: financial law and commerce and with him working full time, I'm not sure how he plans on doing both. Maybe because, although he's in for full time uni, it's not really full time per se but stagnated hours, he will hopefully find the time for study, too. I suspect he's about to become a really busy boy.

No 2. son (oops sorry should read son no. 3... Jake, I've forgotten who's who.. lol) has broken his hand by the looks of it.... sigh. This kid seems to break more bones than I even thought we had in our body. Ok kidding.. but he is such a doofus. He was on the way to school yesterday, mucking around and he dislocated his little finger on his right hand (typically the one he writes with) and a friend popped it back in (OUCH!)... We thought it was just a bit bruised from the dislocation but this morning his hand is up like a balloon along the side of his finger and there's bruising there now that wasn't there last night (a sign of a fracture or break) so MOTH (Man of the House) is down at emergency getting it x-rayed. Boys.......what can I say. If I ever manage to get them to adulthood intact, chance would be a fine thing. 

That's it for me. I'm about to fly out the door to work. Hope you all had a good week and I am going to do some blog catching up this evening if all goes to plan. Have a great Friday.

Speak soon,
