What a week.

Last week was an amazing week physically and mentally.

I am on a new drug at quite a high dosage but within 2 days of starting it I had no pain in my arms. This felt amazing as I could get on and do things that I had let slip, yes it had side effects like drowsiness, but I can cope with that.

The flat is looking normal again and I have caught up with all the ironing!! Also had a huge sort out of son's bedroom and sifted through his clothes and handed all the too small stuff to my nephew. My main problem is I overdid it yesterday and had a nasty fall , all my fault I will learn!

My husband and I were invited out for lunch on Saturday , it was wonderful time of fellowship and was good to get to know them more.
We had a church tea on Sunday and a really good number attended many of whom do not regularly worship with us. It was a good time of fellowship and an opportunity to make new friends.

I am reading more , I still struggle and tiredness seems to be a hurdle when I read, and I am listening to hymns every night and I feel uplifted by it all. How the Lord has guided me.

The am so thankful to the Lord , he looks after me all the time .
What a wonderful Mighty God we have, that is so loving and caring.

Oh and I gained a 1lb but not suprised as I had 3 days off plan , will be 100% this week.

Back On slimming world eating plan

As from the 1st January my husband and I are back on the Slimming World plan.
So far I have lost 9lbs and husband 6 lbs.
I haven't been too well health wise so struggling to get back into cooking mode, but we must be doing something right as we are both losing weight. We haven't returned to class due to cost! We are weighing ourselves once a week at home. But I have found a slimming world free community which is being very helpful. (not offical site)
We both have a lot to lose but have mini targets for husband's degree ceremony, which is a few months away.
I feel quite motivated at moment to must keep focused.

New Year

I am eagerly looking forward to this year, may the Lord guide and use me.

Things have setted down a little now , and I am back on slimming world plan with my husband and looking forward to shedding the weight!
I haven't been too well recently , its really frustrating but I must just do what I can when I can.
Church life has stabilised for us as a family , and the carol service was a real blessing where many visitors came in and heard Gods Word.

Hopefully I am back to blogging once a week.

Happy New Year All and may you all have a blessed one.
