Is it really that long since I added to this blog? Well what has been going on with me in these last few weeks? Office moves, Alex's 18th Birthday, more treatment at Barts for Robert and a week off work which was most welcome.
As I attempt to shape up I realise that wellbeing is more than just physical stuff but involves emotions and mental health and wellbeing......I was quite tired by the end of March with all the redundancies at work as well as making new appointments and entering into the unknown.....all of this can bring so many uncertainties and made me feel vulnerable at times. However we are into a new period now and as always I am always grateful when I have come through the tougher times and can enjoy being in the here and now!
Robert's treatment has gone well to date and although he would much rather it was all over, we are so glad as a family for all the good days and for the lovely new people we have met on our journey! God is so good and we continue to trust in Him for healing, guidance and hope.
Alex's 18th was lovely - she took the weekend off her job at The City Airport and on the day itself we picked Robert up at Barts. and went to Jamie's Italian restaurant at Canary Wharf for a meal - with Alex's boyfriend Callum and the three of us. A new restaurant for us and the meal was lovely. Then the next day, Mother's Day, Alex and I had a special day out together at The Sanctuary - a women's only Spa at Covent Garden - we will be back again but must save up first!!!
Alex and I had a pre-birthday shopping day in London and that too was great - can't believe my little girl is now 18 but it is a great relief to see how she has turned out!!!
Well - how is my shape going - I have had to really 'get a grip' this past week because with all the changes and emotions around Robert's health etc I had been eating so much chocolate and sweets - and I hate my shape! Anyway I have been glad at the treats I have been able to resist over the past few days - chips at Nandos, cakes in Nero's, chocolate in the supermarket and even biscuits and cake at home - yes - this is good!
Anyway I had to buy some new clothes this weekend and these are the last size tent clothes I will buy. My sister will visit us in June and Alex starts her A Levels then so my target is that I (and my sister Hazel) will be lovely size 14s by June - that is 2011!!
Talk again soon x
