Found it.
The 100 g loss last week has been found again.
But seriously, it’s the week of Xmas, Xmas Eve. I’ve been nibbling at nice things, things I don’t normally eat. Even made some homemade baileys yesterday, and nearly fell into the oven. Leg wasn’t happy. But all good. I survived and tried a sip last night. It was worth it.
Christmas for me and many others isn’t a happy time. My children disappeared 12 Christmases ago. Their dad, parental alienation. Need I say more. But these things all weigh on my mind. My body goes into overdrive sensing the emotions that well up inside me. It says where, where do I need to fix. But there’s nothing it can do. So metabolism slows or grinds to a halt as I just try to make it through the season, one that’s very difficult to escape from. I know there’s some here who are going through similar, or different scenarios. Lost loved ones, illness and so it goes.
I’m delving into my self care toolbox today. Xmas music will be played loud. I’ll allow myself to grieve but set a time limit. I’ll be gentle with myself. Funny movies. Write a poem. Wear my ‘Get naughty’ tshirt. What was I thinking when I bought that. 😳🙄 And limit the nibblies.
I’m grateful my weight is holding around the 79 mark. I’m eating healthy main meals. I’m taking care of my mental health. I’m doing my torture exercises for physio post op, from my physiotorturist. I just need to make it through this festive time. Then my weight will start to drop again, I know that.
Take care of you. Merry Christmas and stay safe. 🎅

Gaining 0.1 kg a Week
18 December 2022
What a journey. . . .
Inflammation is decreasing and gut is healing slowly from the anaesthetic. Nearly back to normal, whatever normal is. Exercises are still hard and painful. Home physio visit said doing well. Very well. Keep going by myself. Call if need help with exercises. They change weekly. So just as I start to feel I’m able to do them to some degree of “good” I’m doing a new set. Lots of sweat and puffing and panting as I’m doing them. Must sound like I’m having a good time in here to neighbours. 🤣
Weight wise lost 600g. That’s not bad considering. I have had visitors and because I’m relatively immobile (still unable to drive), I am enjoying their company as well as the food they bring. This week lovely older ladies brought sandwiches, a slice from their homeland NZ, and Tim tams. I ate. My body doesn’t process bread as well as other foods but boy did I enjoy those sangers. Saving the leftover slice for other visitors this coming week, hopefully. Hopefully more visitors ha ha, not hopefully I don’t eat it all. My will power is pretty good at the moment.
So although I am trying to stick to my eating plan, for my mental health I am relaxing it as visitors come and over the silly season. And I must admit I sneaked one chocolate coated almond and one chocolate filled wafer tube stick yesterday whatever they’re called. They’re obviously not called that. They wouldn’t sell with that name would they. 😂😜
My rules for me for Xmas time going forward:
Follow my eating plan where possible 😜
Enjoy time with visitors 🥰
Allow myself to eat with friends “WITHOUT GUILT” 🥳
You know I wasn’t going to weigh today but my weight was weighing on my mind (pun intended)😜 I’m glad I weighed, whether it had gone up or down at least I don’t have to think about it anymore.

Losing 0.6 kg a Week
11 December 2022
Weights still toggling. Up 300g but I’m not concerned.
A friend dropped over Thursday with Chinese. I ate the leftovers Saturday. Lots of additives in there. Really yummy though. Thoroughly enjoyed it. And not a hint of regret.
Bodies still recovering from the post op side affects too, especially inflammation and still clearing the effects of the anaesthetic. Apparently that can take up to a month. Plus I did weigh after my first set of exercises for day so knee had ballooned. And emotionally I’m still shattered from the news earlier this week. All has an effect on our journey.
So where to from here.
Continue on my path. I have my own way of eating, and I know it works.
Focus on my healing, my strengthening, my emotional health.
Always accept visitors and if they bring food eat it. Doesn’t mean I have to eat the lot at once but I am going to enjoy myself in those times and be grateful.
As Christmas approaches I would normally prep foods I can eat so I could join in. This years a little different as I’m still not fully walking yet and won’t be for a while yet so balance in the kitchen is an issue. So my plan is to enjoy Christmas food in moderation, allow myself to relax the diet a bit so I can join in, but also have some meals that are straight down the line, in line with my eating plan.
I bought some turkey and prawns, and a nitrate sulphite free ham. Only do this once per year. Team that with salads and veges and I’ll still be reasonably good. As for the desserts………….. I will allow myself some in moderation. For my mental health. That’s the plan Stan. 😜

Gaining 0.7 kg a Week
08 December 2022
Mid week weigh in. Well a loss of 100 g is at least a loss I suppose.
This week so far I had the post op visit which went really well. I’m exceeding their milestones already for the 2 week checkup so they are very happy and he said apparently my hamstring is magnificent. Lol. Hamstring was used to create the ACL.
Then also this week I found out my eldest son got married and didn’t tell me or anyone on my side of family. Devastated is an understatement. I’m sure he will regret this in years to come but from the photo I was sent from a friend he looked happy. Why am I telling you this. This has knocked me for ten, emotionally. And we all know that does affect your metabolism and thus weight loss. Trying to refocus and just get through now. So 100 g loss to me is very very good this week as it’s been a doosie.

Losing 0.1 kg a Week

Weights dropping as inflammation clears after this op. 700g dropped since Tuesday.
I did have a chicken roll yesterday that a friend brought for lunch and absolutely enjoyed it. It's important for me to lose this weight but I still need to be happy and enjoy times with friends without the guilt. Mental health is just as important as physical health. It is hard being couped up inside a house, unable to do my walking as I was yet, and alone with my own thoughts. So balance is essential.
Let's see what the next week brings. Thank you for all your support. It really helps.
