Visible to anyone in the world

Hello

I have a doctor’s appointment today for my diabetes. I didn’t realize that it has been over a year since I had my last check. I don’t take tablets for it I control it with diet, and although I have put on a bit of weight, I forgot about it. It was only when I went for my last B12 injection that they made me an appointment. I went for a B12 injection & I came out with an appointment to have my Covid booster, another B12 injection (that I had on Monday) a diabetic review & results of my blood test that I will have today. I would have had my diabetic check-up earlier, but I got Covid instead.

I don’t know if I am due for another Covid booster, I probably will, but I have decided that I will not have one. I mean what is the point? I don’t think there is a person on the planet that hasn’t had Covid & if there is, it’s few a far-in-between. Well, I have had Covid now & sure I could get it again but, many people have not had the boosters, my daughter is one of them. She got Covid twice she’s fine, yes you can argue that I have a lot of medical problems, so it hits me at my weakest, but I can’t keep on going it’s driving me mad. I say this but I will get another booster when it comes about because I can’t afford to get sick, and I don’t want it again.

I can’t remember if I said in my last post that I am concentrating on my weight. I have put on weight, so I am going to go back on my “diet”. I don’t like using that word, I always say “I am going to change the way I eat for life” which is what you need. Diet always makes me think I lose some weight then I go back to what I’m used to, but this time is different. I started taking these diet pills I don’t believe in “miracle” diet pills, I don’t hope up much faith in diet pills at all. But for some reason, I believe in these pills. I know better, much better I had to have the gastric bypass for me to lose the weight that I have lost but again I am pinning my hope on these pills. I think I have said this in my last post, so I won’t go over things again, but I have noticed a difference. Last night we were going to get takeout, and we got Chinese, I said no, but I will have a few chips which I did. That is all I had I would have had a hell of a lot more but something in me has clicked this time and I don’t know why, and I don’t want to know. I’m also not questioning it either, I am simply going with it and not worrying about the how, what, and why of it. I am running with it. I am doing well if I do say so myself. I will not be slimmer for Jason’s wedding as it is next Saturday but I’m OK with that. I will not be slimmer when I see the London Road girls on the 1st of February and I don’t mind that either when they see me another time after the 1st, I would like to be in better shape and also because I have the exercises that I need to do for physiotherapy, it will also help with the loss of weight and Dana suggested that I go on the walking machine so I thought that would be a great idea so I will do that. I am already drinking lots of water so that helps a lot because it fills me up and I don’t want to eat as much. I am excited for the first time; I think I may be able to get there. I want to be slim when I walk across that podium when I get my degree, which I am sure I have mentioned in my last post.      

I have next week off and I am a little behind so I will play catch up but not all week. I have a plan of action. I will finish chapter 2. Then I will go on the website and read the websites both 1 & 2. This week’s season I will start on Saturday, I get up early anyway so I will study a lot, yes, I will also sleep because I have to but then I will study some more. I should be finished by Sunday.

Monday, again I get up early & I’m off I will start chapter 4. Study all day and again sleep for a bit then carry on then I should finish on Tuesday. Then I will be caught up. But I will start chapter 5 on Wednesday and finish on Thursday. Start chapter 6 on Friday and finish on Saturday. Then I will start planning for TMA 03. I will have a bit of time for it so I can plan and have a good argument. I will make the plan for the forum first, then when the website opens, I can post mine, then I will start planning for my TMA 03 so when it comes to submitting it, I will be OK to do that. I will also then be ahead so I can continue with my studies. I have a day of school in April, so I am looking forward to that. I am just in a good place right now so I don’t want to get anything or have anything that will throw a spanner in the works.
