feeling better at last!

1 minute read time.

Im actually feeling better today and its been great,ive been off codeine and tramadol since Wed and im sure its helping me the pains still there and noticable but im not letting it get the better of me any more,i will never get better or fitter if i sit on my arse drinking tea and eating cakes all day and i feel sorry for myself im just letting this win,so as from tomorrow im going to have to push myself just a little bit more each day,im sure it will be worth it, Im hoping to do something nice with Billy this week even if its just walking somewhere,i love this time of year,much more colourful,the turn of the trees,the sky,the dark water at the beach. Im sure he was sick of the sight of hospitals,so was i mind you but when your the patient you just get on with it,hoping to get better.

Katies 14th birthday today and we had the usual family round which was great,although we had an indian which although was lovely i ate far too much and ive bairly moved from the sofa all night,id bought a sainsburys birthday cake but everyone agreed the next birthday cake we get it has to be from the Italian pastry shop,just no beating it! I guess ive put on about a stone since i was diagnosed in July,and im aware that it could be worse,but it could be better,my oldest son has decided that he is giving up fags on Monday so ive decided im giving up junk food........hopefully ill be able to stick to it! (Im staying away from the pasty shop!)

  • Hi Leigh

    Glad you are feeling better. I put on 1 1/2 stones between dx and treatment ending. Could not get enough of chocolate cake and strawberry milk shakes.

    Back to normal now due to low fat meals!!!!

    Really fancy a Burger King right now. lol

    Enjoy your walks.

    Good to hear Leigh! I lost just over 5 stone following diagnosis and felt great but everyone said I looked awful? I've put 3st of that back on eating junk food :-( so from tomorrow I'm joining you and going to try harder too!  It's how I feel no one else can dictate my body size.

    Glad Katie had a good day and you enjoyed an indian, I can't eat anything too spicy!

    We went to a Harvester and I ate 3courses unheard of usually but with my youngest son with us we talked and ate and before I knew it I'd just about cleared my plates.

    Don't try to do too much too quick or you're going to feel worse again, a little each day is fine we still need to rest and give our bodies a chance to fight this.

    take care,

    Hello Leigh

    I am so glad you are feeling a bit better :o) i have been thinking of you.

    I put on 2 stone after my sister and Dad passed away and it doesnt feel right even now, I was always used to walking with my dogs, then they became ill and old after sis and Dad passed and with a combination of no walks and eating chocolate for comfort the 2 stone appeared lol...im trying to sort it out but i am a firm believer in having what you fancy, it comes from watching my sister struggle with so much sickness and still trying so very hard to eat.

    Glad you have had a nice day :o)

    Love scarlet x

    Wohoooo Leigh your blog had such a lovely feeling to it today, so positive and what an improvement in your pain mangement.

    I lost a bit of weight when I was diagnosed but its crept back on and then some - of course the steroids didn't help.  As soon as my next two cycles of chemo are out of the way, I AM GETTING FIT.

    I'd like to at least die looking good LOL  Sorry that wasn't meant to be in bad taste or anything, my black sense of humour takes over sometimes......but I guess the fitter we are, the harder and better we can fight and for longer hopefully.

    Good luck with giving up junk food but don't deprive yourself, makes it harder........try reducing or cutting "certain" things out.  I no longer buy crisps that I will eat.......can't be tempted then.
