Blimey you're quick off the mark. I've only just got back, spent a bit of time in Horsham on the way back. As you know they told me the same, doing well, bang on target, just try to relax, haha. You've done really well.

 

[funky24]

lol we had to get bk cos of me dad yeah u have done great to, u look so happy and glowing well done to us hehe x

 

[Samsara]

All sounds good - well done Out of interest why did they tell you to slow down when eating? How did they know you were eating too fast?! x x

 

[funky24]

cos i was honest with them as iv been sick twice, and i thought it could be eating wrong thing, too fast or too much, explained it all to her and she just said maybe try and slow down a little bit more xx

 

[Samsara]

Ahhhhhhh. I see! Thanks I suppose it's quite hard to change the habits of a lifetime of fast eating. I think that will be a challenge when I get there...

 

[funky24]

Yeah it is really difficult, but il get there ! Have to keep re heating it cos it goes cold haha x

Sounds like you are doing well. Yes eating slowly is something I am worried about, but I guess it takes time and practice. Well done so far, it's really interesting to read that as I will have my op soon.

 

[funky24]

thanks hun went for a walk today, walked 6 miles !! got bit lost up the country lanes and see the sheeps lol now need a nice hot bath xx

 

[Ines4C]

Wow, 6 miles? That's amazing. That would be harder for me, as I am not familiar with many routes, as I am visually impaired. Would love to do that though. Good job. Bet you are tired but pleased to have done that.

 

[funky24]

yeah really shocked i managed it lol and apart from feet being a little sore, and a bit achey i dont feel too bad. very pleased i have always loved walking, just found it to difficult to do last few yrs so a great step in the right direction xx

 

[mywishes]

[Ines4C]

I myself am looking forward to being able to run, not just walk. Although I know walking is great, and I enjoy it, but there's always been a freedom that I associated with running for some reason.

 

[funky24]

yeah that would be a nice goal to work towards, i can see what u mean about the sense of freedom there x

 

[Samsara]

Yes, well done on the 6 mile walk - that's fab. Are you using a pedometer? x x

 

[funky24]
