Math Boy and I are planning on driving down tomorrow to see mum, but here we go again... They are calling for snow, sleet and freezing rain. Maybe this is someones way of telling me that I shouldn't see her yet. We had planned on driving down a few weeks ago, and we got hit with close to 10cm of snow. We are planning on going tomorrow - and BAM!!!I spoke to her on the phone yesterday and she

Morning,Today is a new day. They moved my mum into yet another room, this time it's a single. Math boy is back - which is great. I'm off to the gym tonight after a long break. I have been jogging and am up to 22mins straight. I haven't lost anything, but my pants feel better.Someone posted about how OCD DD is as she is okay sleeping at my ILs. First of - she has mild OCD and is only 7 - so things

Math Boy and I are driving down this weekend to meet with some funeral arrangers and visit mum. She seems to be losing her memory quickly these days. She is forgetting who my dad is, and forgot my brother’s name. I’m afraid that when I get there she won’t remember my name. Right now she calls me by her sister’s nick-name, but will correct herself later in a conversation. I guess we will just have

What an emotional day it was yesterday. The day started out fine. Then in the afternoon my dad asked me to help him with getting the arrangements done for mum. I called a funeral home and asked for information. I pushed all my emotions to the bottom of myself so I could get through the conversation without crying. I was ready to get a good work out in at the gym with my PT, and when I got to my

We had a wonderful time at my parents this past week. I don't recognize my mum at all. She is on such heavy steroids that her face has the typical swollen look that makes them look like a different person.My dad just called and the ambulance is there to take her into palliative care at the hospital. I think this is it.I told her that I would be coming down to see her in the middle of January -

I am getting over a week being sick. I had a lung infection and now math boy is sick. I haven't run in a few weeks due to the inability to breath.I was looking through some photos that were taken over the past few months, and I feel so disappointed with myself. I feel that I am letting myself go, and I can't seem to get on top of it. I guess right now I have to get over this illness and then

I had my 3 month assessment today. Almost 6 inches gone since September 8. That's a good thing...right?At least there's one good thing in life. Mum's doing...well doing. Last week she had stopped drinking anything - but dad has been making her drink water. So for the first time in her life she's actually drinking water. Right now it's about 1/2 a cup to a cup a day, but it's better than

I'm so angry that I can't seem to get my body to work. There is a lady at work who has only started to eat differently and I just heard a colleague say to her that she looks amazing and that her pants are falling off. Why can't that be me???? What am I doing wrong.I am eating within my calories (around 1700) and I'm working out 3-5x a week. Two weight training sessions with my PT and running

I completed day two of week three in my 5K101 training. It wasn't too tough. I am training in a pyramid style - so progress up with the three mins jogging for the first three intervals, and then back down. I was able to complete about 3.55K in the 30 mins that I was on the treadmill. My ultimate goal is to run a 30min 5K. I don't know if or when that will happen, but I will keep trying.I

Happy Monday.We went down to see my mum this weekend. She looks okay. Her face is very bloated from the steroids that she is on, so they actually have decreased the dosage. One more week of radiation and then it's the waiting game for a month until she has her next MRI and we will learn if there is any progress. She isn't walking very much, doesn't want to talk and eats very little. Right

Mum is doing okay. She started her treatment on Tuesday and so far so good. We won't know if it's working, or anything, until at least two weeks after she has completed her session....so in another month we should know for sure.My brother and his family are coming in today - they will be here in 3 1/2 hours. We are going down to see them this weekend and I can not wait. On Saturday we had

My mum met with the oncologist and radiologist yesterday. She has decided to proceed with a three week aggressive radiation course which should help slow the growth of the tumour. Right now they say, if this works, then there is an 80% chance she could live for around 8 months - which a lot better than the 2-4 months they were originally saying.She starts treatment on Tuesday.I have been having a

Everyone else is following on Friday and we'll be back Sunday. I was able to move the dr's appointment for my mum from Monday Oct 31 to tomorrow (Thursday). I'm really nervous, as this is it.

My parents were urged to come back to cut their trip to India short, and instead of heading back on Nov 10, they flew back on Saturday. My mum had a follow-up appointment with the neuro-oncologist this morning at 7:45 - it's now 1pm and I still haven't heard from them. My mind is trying not to think the worst or go to a bad place - but it's hard when I don't know anything.I think she has been

My mum is the most amazing women I know. She has gone through more in her short 67 years than I can imagine. I don't know how she's done it. Her family had to flee from their home during partition (in India), they had to start their life over with absolutely nothing. She started teaching at the age of 16 and continued until she retired at 60. At the age of 50 she decided to go back to school and

I had my IUD removed almost three months ago, and I have been off my anti-depressants for two months. Following lots of internet research I have learned that these two drugs have been pumping medication into my system for over 4 years, which has greatly impacted my metabolism.I have to now keep telling myself that it is going to take me a lot longer than two or three months for my metabolism to

Today is the first day of school for Priya. I can't believe that she has started grade 2. 10 more years and she starts her last year of high school, gets her license and is almost ready to vote. 3 more years and she turns 10. I have no idea where time has gone.So I'm doing really well - being off my anti-depressants for about two months now. The only problem is that I seem to cry at every TV

Lots of things have changed over the past month:1 - I stopped taking my anti-depressants (my dr doesn't know yet...opps)2 - My hormones are slowly getting back on track. 3 - I have fallen in love with spinning. Last week math boy was in Amsterdam, so I was able to do what I wanted with the kids. I decided to take a spinning class, and left them in the gym's child care area. They had a blast,

It's been a week and no movement on the scale. I'm not disappointed as I am feeling a lot different. I am happier and my pants are fitting a bit better. Today I am committing to run on the treadmill. I haven't run in a long time and I don't know how I'm going to do - but I want to get back into it. On Saturday we had a big party for Nevin's 3rd Birthday. It was so much fun. My parents came and

Warning...this post contains information that might be TMI for some readers...I went to the dr this morning and got my IUD removed. He asked me why I wanted it removed and I told him that math-boy was going to visit the "barber" soon, and his reaction was "do you want to wait"...no way - I want this out now. Then I had to justify why I wanted it removed and explain how the side effects were

I love the sounds of summer. Crickets, lawnmowers, sprinklers. Last night I was lying in bed listening to those sounds and realized how much I love them.Good things are a foot at the circle K. I have my appointment on Monday morning to get this IUD out. Originally it was scheduled for July 15, but I was told to call in on Wednesday's to see if there were any cancellations.

I have been back and forth with my weight and mindset for a long time now, and realized that until I get this IUD out of me I will not lose weight. I have a new goal now - don't gain anymore. It's funny how I'm now at 174, which is the same weight that I was when I joined after Nevin was born, yet I am fitting into pants that I would not have been able to at that time. I guess I am gaining

I had an amazing weekend. With the weather being so nice, I was able to do a bit of gardening and the kids were playing outside for 6-7 hours each day. It was great. Yesterday was amazing. I slept with Nevin, so woke up when he started to push me out of bed saying "Go away mummy". I told him no, so he got up and went into our bedroom. I was able to clean my car, nap, not do any dishes or cook.

Nevin ended up with an ear infection in both ears, Priya wouldn't get out of the pool, and I went snorkeling a lot. It was great.

Sometimes is so hard. I am home this week. I hit this really low point and am having the hardest time getting out of the slump. I don't want to get out of bed, or talk to anyone. I never realised how difficult it would be to just get out of bed and get the kids ready. Trying to keep up appearances for the kids is taking so much out of me.

It's funny when you put things into perspective how easy they look. Case in point - losing weight is a lot easier than trying to get a two year old to tell you when he has to go to the washroom. I don't understand how it was so much easier for Priya to recognise that she had to go to the bathroom, but Nevin is another story. This kid just doesn't seem to care. I just hope he's out of pull-ups

I had a great weekend. SIL came up and she spent Sunday sitting around in our PJ's playing games with the kids, which allowed math boy and I to sit and drink coffee. For all those with little ones you know that being able to sit for a five min stretch without hearing a "mummy play with me" is a luxury. SIL wanted to see a couple of her friends Sunday night so I asked her to invite them over

I first would like to thank you for your comments. I am actually really glad to hear some constructive feedback from readers. My whole life has been an obsession about weight. I remember my whole family commenting about my weight and comparing me to others. I come from a culture that puts a lot of emphasis on thinness more so than in North America. There has always been so much attention and

Happy New Year. 2011 is going to be better than 2010 - it has to be. I'm still angry about the whole trip thing. I'm talking to math boy, just not about the trip. It's still a little touchy. Anyway now to the good news.I'm DOWN!! Okay not in weight (that I'm actually up) but in everything else.Dec 10 stats: Jan 4 stats:Arms: 12.5 inches

Merry Christmas to all.I can't believe how crappy this Christmas has been. As you are aware a trip is being planned to head to the Dominican in April. I had emailed and talked to my parents several weeks ago about them coming along with us. My mum is having her knee replaced in January so we thought this would be a great time for her to just lay down on the beach and relax. Friday I got home

I lost a pound. I know that it doesn't sound like a lot, but for the amount of work that I'm doing and the number of calories that I'm eating - I'm really happy. I have never eaten this much and still lost something. I am starting to feel it in my pants, which is nice.Last night I decided to overload my workout, I did an hour spinning class and then an hour of hot yoga. Math boy was really

Why is that one item so scary? It looks like we are heading to the Dominican in May and I have to look good in a bathing suit. I am trying sooooooo hard yet I'm not seeing anything move, either in the scale or my pants. I know that I have given advise to many many people about being patient and things will move - but for some reason I can't listen to my own advise.This weekend I had a very

My gym opened up last week and I have been there almost everyday. I have been running, doing some yoga and pilates. It's awesome. So I have seen my personal trainer (PT) twice now. Both days were spent assessing my strength to see what I can do and handle. I have a goal to be bathing suit ready by May, as we might be doing an inlaw trip south - and well I want to show SIL up...I may have had

Everybody Wang Chung tonight....We had an amazing party on Saturday night..35 people and about 12 under the age of 6...it was awesome...my parents came up and brought samosas - which were a big hit. My MIL and FIL actually had some - which shocked us all as they don't really eat anything with "spice"...this is a step in the right direction.I've gained a lot of weight, and my body feels gross. I

Happy Birthday to me...I can't believe that I turned 35 on Sunday...crazy... it was a great day. I got to sleep in (a bit) and alone (Priya is currently crawling into bed with me every night). We went out for lunch, ordered pizza for dinner. I couldn't have been happier.I have been doing well with the working out part of life. I am trying to do something at least 5 times a week. Up until now

She's 6...I can't believe how quickly time has gone. Not only is Priya growing into this amazing person, but I seem to be growing as well. I'm so tired of accounting for everything that I put into my mouth. I'm so tired of watching my calories and counting everything. I just want to be able to eat and work out and have it all fall into place. I'm getting better with the working out part of

Halloween is just around the corner, so I thought this would be the perfect time to renew my commitment to eating healthy, within my calories, and working out regularly. So far so good. Two days in a row with both eating and exercising and I'm feeling okay.I got a call from the dr on Monday and the hospital has decided that the fluid in my abdomen is not large enough for them to go in with a

We have had a great month. Apart from this packet of fluid building up inside making me feel like I'm pregnant, things have been a lot of fun. At the end of September we flew to England to surprise my brother for his wedding. It was great. Priya and I showed up at his door and he could not believe that we were actually there. So we spent a week with him and his new wife, and spent the last

Those are words that I hope no one ever needs to hear. We have been through and emotional roller coaster this past two weeks. It all started last week on Wednesday night when at 9pm I got a call from the Urgent Care clinic telling that they found something behind my bladder in the x-rays that were taken post-accident. They wanted me to follow up with my GP right away. So I spent the night

I'm an actress...I'm a professional ballet dancer...I'm a hip hop dancer...I'm a singer...Last night I did day two of the Slim in 6 Burn It Up DVD. I was pushing myself and feeling great. I was smiling like the women on tv and pretending that I was the one making the video. Then I saw myself in the mirror and what a shock. My face was beet red, I looked clumsy and very uncoordinated.

So my work is amazing. I have decided to take the next two weeks off and go back to work at the beginning of September, and my work is amazing. They are letting me work from home, which I love and can do.As you know I have joined a gym - which doesn't open until October, but they have given me access to their online food journal. I put in my weight at the time that I signed up (158) and my

As you know I'm in the healing phase of post-op and I'm wondering how much weight is too much to gain during this phase? I expected a few pounds - but 10???? I don't think it helped consuming all that home cooked Indian food made by my mum, the samosas, pizza, poutine, cookies and well the list goes on...I really haven't been doing much but catching up on the first two seasons of Warehouse 13

Today is my anniversary. 7 years with Math Boy. We have two kids, two cars and a big house...i think we've done well for ourselves. I have one week left till my surgery and last week I recommitted to counting my points. So far so good. Everyday I have been very diligent at tracking everything, and I hope to be in the 140's by the time my surgery hits (only a pound or two to go). We'll see

As most of you know, I love listening to the podcast Fat2Fit Radio. They have a lot of amazing information and keep me motivated throughout the day. The mantra of the show is to "eat like a thin person". I have worked out my points and calories and am eating the correct amount - so basically I am eating like a thin person. When that thin person will finally arrive - I have no idea...but

I feel like a broken record...no an echo...no wait...I feel like a country song "Back in the saddle again". I can't believe that I keep doing this to myself. After a few great weeks of tracking and working out, I have spent the past week eating and gaining, and due to pain I have been unable to workout. Today is the start of a new WW week for me and I am going to track. I'm not sure if my lack

Apart from trying to get a stubborn extremely tired 5 year old to sleep (which we finally did at midnight), it was a great day for us.I went to my meeting on Wednesday and lost 5.5 in one week...crazy...i knew that the gain was a lot of water and salt retention...so i'm back down below the 150 mark.

My last weigh-in was the week of May 10 - so in 7 weeks I have gained 7.5 pounds and am now up to 155...frustrating !!!! Nothing fits, I am eating too much and I am too tired to work out. I have to keep reminding myself that our life is a little crazy right now, and I'm back to counting and I'll take it one day at a time. My first goal is to get back down to the 140's and then I'll set my next

How do I say thank you. I have spent the past day trying to come up with the correct words - the appropriate message - something to convey the appreciation and love that I feel for everyone who supported me through this journey.This past weekend I walked with close to 1000 others to raise money for women's cancers. As a community we raised $2.1 million. I would like to say that this walk was easy

Things have been really crazy over the past few weeks. We moved into the new place last Monday and have been trying to get things settled, but it's not easy with two young kids. Priya is really testing my limits. Her favorite sentences are "I hate you" and "it's all your fault". I probably sound like all other parents of 5 year old's, but I wish she would not wake up with evil spewing out of

Thank you to everyone who has helped me reach and surpass my goal and raise $2140.

I didn't go to WW last night as math boy and I were painting the kids' washroom in the new house. The builder is amazing and allowing us access to the house to see the progress. We are very lucky that we have had this access as we have picked up on a lot of little things that would have been a total pain to fix after the fact.Things have been very stressful at home, Nevin's waking during the

I'm up. I went last night with a new mind set, thanks to a lot of encouragement and discussions with friends. So I knew I would be up, but I also knew that I stuck to my points all week and I did a lot of training walks. When I stepped on the scale and saw a 3.5 pound increase I was okay with that. I am okay with that. So I can proudly say that today my weight is 147.5. Once my walk is done

I walked 18k on Sunday and then went to baskin' robbins for a sugar free, low point ice cream. I also am listening to Fat2fit radio during my walk. I have found that even if I am counting my points I can still

First things first, no gain and no loss...so that's a good thing.This past week has been going really great with my training. I am pushing myself to walk further and further each time. On Saturday I got outside and did 9k and on Tuesday I walked 2 hours and about 20k on my treadmill. I couldn't believe it. My feet burned after that as I forgot to put anything Vaseline on my feet (which

I'm super excited. I'm not sure if I will get a chance to see them, but we'll see. This has been a very up and down week. It started off great, working out, eating really well. I'd say my motivation was a 10 and so was my exercise and food goals - then we hit Sunday. I was doing Pilate's and a certain son of mine decided to sit on my abdomen and stretch. Man did that hurt. He seemed to have

I'm up - again...one pound. I have two to loose by the end of this month, or I will have to pay at next months' WI. I can't say that I don't know where I went wrong, but I think my mentality has to change. I am letting myself.. well not "go", but I'm not being as careful or precise as I was before. It's funny how I seem to say the same things week after week. This week will be different.

There's an article on CBC today regarding the waiting list for gastric bypass surgery in Ontario. What is interesting is not the actual article but reading the comments left by readers. It seems that everyone has their own opinion and the overwhelming majority has an easy solution of just "getting off the couch and watching what you eat". I don't think that those who are posting these comments

I hope everyone had a good long weekend/Easter (if you celebrate). My parents came up this weekend, which was great. We haven't seen them since Christmas and for them to see the kids after 3 months, they see such a change - especially in Nevin. Priya spent all weekend outside and ended up with sunburned arms - as you can tell in the photo she is going to tan really nicely. So we went over to my

It happened to me. Five years ago I received that one phone call that no daughter wants to receive. That was when my mum called me and told me that she has breast cancer. It has been five years and my mum is in remission and still chugging around like the crazy woman that she has always been. I have always known that my mum was a strong person, but since the day that she was diagnosed, a new

The Good: People at work call me the "healthy one" and were surprised when they saw me eating a chocolate bar. Also, I have started my fundraising for the Weekend to End Women's Cancers (please help me raise $2,000 by clicking on the link on the right side of this blog).The Bad: I dropped my coffee mug in the parking lot of the grocery store. Now I have to use my hubby's old one - which is

The house is coming along great - they should be finishing the electrical stuff tomorrow and start the drywall by next Friday. Things are progressing really well. So this past weekend we were to have our "modeling shoot", but we ended up postponing it until this Saturday. Now on to the meat. I had a good meeting yesterday. I'm down the 0.5 that I was up last week, so back down to 143. My

I love the spring. The snow is melting, the sun is out and we have three months until we move. Three months from today we will be in our new house. Two months from tomorrow Nevin turns two. I can't believe how big he is getting. He is still my little baby, but he now drinks out of a regular cup and will soon be potty training.I still haven't heard from the surgeon with a date for my surgery,

I didn't go to my meeting last night, we have conditionally sold our house and the purchasers had to come by and sign some papers. Yup you read that right, WE HAVE SOLD OUR HOUSE!!! okay - we have almost sold our house. Next Thursday they have the inspection and then it's done. We are not having any open houses or showing the house until next week is done, so no cleaning or shipping the kids off

To start with I'm down another 0.5 pounds which is amazing as the past week was not a good food week at all. With the first open house, lots of cleaning, and being around Winterlude on Monday - let's just say I had a full bag of of chocolate kisses, poutine and full fat hot chocolate.So I didn't buy my "skinny" jeans. I don't understand why I do this, but every time I want to reward myself by

I DID IT!!!I hit my WW goal!! I am officially 143.5, so my BMI is now 24.6 so normal, yippee skippy. After work I will be going to the mall and getting myself a new pair of jeans. I have not bought "skinny" clothing since the last time I hit goal in 2006. I want to find a pair of skinny jeans to show off the new bod. Nevin is still at home, but is doing a lot better. His fever is gone, but

As soon as the house sells I will start preparing for my walk.I had an appointment with my surgeon last week and it looks like I

My goal is to lose 20 pounds by my birthday. This means that I have 10 months to lose 20 pounds or 2 pounds a month. This may not seem like a big deal, but if you look at my track record and the fact that I have gained and lost the same 4 pounds since September then 20 pounds may not be too easy.This weekend was great. Yesterday I ran for the first time - 15 mins - and it felt great. I can't

So I'm up by 2 pounds. I guess this is what happens when you eat junk all weekend. It's a new week and I have my WI on Wednesday and am keeping with my tracking and working out. I am going to try a few weeks of eating 28 points on the days that I work out, and 25 points on the days that I don't. This way I am taking the 35 weekly extra and just dividing them through the week. If one point

This weekend was crazy. Friday we had The Works burgers (which was planned). Saturday we had The Works burgers and Sunday we had Pizza Pizza (not planned). I feel gross. Friday we went for our H1N1 shots. Nevin and Priya both got their second shots, which was fine getting them done. So Saturday morning Nevin woke up in a bad mood, and well after a few hours of napping a few times, trying to

no that's not correct...cookie exchanges love me...I went to a cookie exchange this past Sunday and it was great. I spent all Saturday making cranberry/lemon biscotti (mmmmm), and eat all the scraps. I think I had around 800-1000 calories of scraps on Saturday alone - but I did spend all day on my feet. We went swimming on Saturday morning at 9:30 then got home and I did laundry, baked,

Right now my focus is making it through the day without falling asleep. So we have a hole. On Monday they broke ground on our house and it’s a really really big hole in the ground.
