New Years Resolution 1, 2 & 3

Okay so I have finally made a firm decision on starting to check off my NY Resolutions check list. I've decided to start with the first 3.

1. Lose weight
2. eat healthier 
3. exercise more

First resolution was taken care of by signing up to The Biggest Loser Club. I'm going to begin this coming Monday though, that way I can organise myself a little better.

Which brings me to resolution number 2, eating healthier. Since I'm starting the BLC on Monday, I can spend the Saturday working out what types of food I would like to eat. I know the site has menu plans I can follow but to be honest I just don't have a whole lot of cash so my menus need to be simple, easy to prepare and fall within my budget.

Lastly, resolution 3 is to try and get up around 6am and go for a walk and then again after dinner that night. I'm going to start of slow to begin with, a block or 2 will do. My goal is to be able to walk from where I live in North Albury to Dean St, Albury. 

Bella.. She thinks she's peoples!

Today my cat was hit by a car and killed.

I was not here when it happened, and we didn't find Bella until around 9.30pm at night.

She was laying across the road in the long grass, she was only meters away.

It was only for the flicker of heaven knows what that caught my eye otherwise Bella would probably still be laying there right now.

We have decided to get Bella cremated privately so we can get the ashes and keep our Bells with us forever. I'm going to get a nice urn for her ashes and I've sent off to get a few pictures printed so I can make up a nice picture frame to sit beside the urn.

I miss Bella so much already.

Day Surgery Update

So after much wait this morning at the hospital I finally was taken into surgery around 11am. Dr Simon Craig came in around noon and did a wonderful job inserting the needle for the drip to go into. It only took 2 goes at finding a vein with minimal discomfort so I am impressed. He has very soft hands which made it better, don't ask me how it just did... OKAY!

I was in surgery for about an hour, woke up in recovery about 1pm. My tummy hurt a bit, matter fact it was kinda burning inside. I had a D&C, hysteroscopy (I think that's right) and a mirena coil inserted. Like I said in my earlier post, the mirena coil was put in not for contraception but to stop the excessive bleeding I have been suffering from for ears. Anyway, I was given something for the pain and glad to say it took about 20mins to take effect. After about an hour in observation they took me to the a waiting room where I was left to rest for a while. The wonderful nurses bought me a cuppa and some sandwiches and about 30mins after that I was able to get up, have a wash, dress and leave.

I am glad to be home.

PS: anyone looking for a wonderful Gynaecologists, Dr Simon Craig is fantastic. I only have high praises for him as a doctor and surgeon. One my experience with him I would definitely recommend him to anyone who is looking for a specialist in the Albury/Wodonga area.

Day Surgery

Today I head into hospital for my surgery. I woke up at 6am when the alarm went off, headed in for a shower, came back to the bedroom to get dressed and told my husband it was time to get up out of bed (just because you sleep in and miss a ride isn't my problem) and what does he go and do? Be an arse and upsets me!

I know I've been and had surgery many times before but this time it's a little different not that he would understand. I know having the coil put in is to help with the heavy bleeding so I can go out and exercise to loose weight but it also mean that it will be at least a year before I go back to the specialist and hopefully after loosing enough weight see if he'll help with fertility treatment. That would make me 41. 

So I guess my husband doesn't either doesn't understand or doesn't care since he had a go and upset me this morning just because I'm a little ansie-pansie this morning!
