This morning I decided to brave the scale.
Not too concerned as I know I have tracked and walked stairs, but the worry about the effects of the cortisone did play a bit of a worry on my mind as I climbed on the scale, I also didn't feel fatter!!
My weight was 59.9 kg's ( 132.1 lbs ) the day I entered hospital - 9 days ago.
Today my weight is 60.3kg's ( 132.9lbs )
I GIVE MY BODY THANKS FOR THIS..WHAT A WONDERFUL BODY I HAVE!!
My maintaining weight is 64.4kg's ( 142 lbs )
So am still in the safe area.
I will not be training till next Monday, by training I mean, walking on the treadmill.
I have sensed since home that I still have a long way to go to be better, the way I was.
My balance is off and so is my eyesight, I need my body to heal...
I am going to allow my magnificent body the time to do the healing it needs.

Hospital ~ Day 5 on cortisone
So today I found out why I'm not sleeping too well....HORMONES affected by the cortisone!!! Not only Doris the snorer keeping me awake.
I didn't sleep too well last night...in my blog I have written more about that and the laughing fit I had which felt so good afterwards.
Took my calcium and magnesium with banana soon after waking. ( have to take when on cortisone )
Breakfast
1 slice rye bread
1 tsp honey
Coffee
10am snack
Muesli and seeds
Yogurt
Mixed fruit salad
Lunch
Paste filled with cheese in tomato base
Didn't eat the tomato base but enjoyed the pasta
Pudding...scrapped the cream off and only ate vanilla section
snack
Apple
Block of the last Xmas Lindt chocolate
Dinner
2 slices Rye crackerbread
1 Slice cheese
Coffee
Yogurt mixed with last fruit salad
Snack
Kit Kat chocolate balls - about 8, Heinz brought to hospital and made him take it back home as I don't want to be tempted here this evening.
Hot chocolate
Walked 2562 steps today
Not better than yesterday
But after DR told me to take it easy for a while and I was experiencing the affects on my skin I decided 2 trips up the stairs was enough for today.

3 days have been on 1000 mg's via drip
Tomorrow it will be 80mg's..
I will be in hospital one day longer now, till Tuesday.
Am gaining weight....but am trying to do as much as I can in the situation.
I ate 35 of my 35 points to maintain...as I say with each entry, would love to only eat 29 while here but all the bread adds up to 10 points or 12 in day...so no more home sandwich for me and have asked for only one slice and not two for the meal times.
Also eating my low cal puddings and yogurt and not the hospitals.
have told them I don't want dinner tomorrow night and asked Heinz to bring me a Tuna salad from home rather.
Keep those prayers coming...am seeing an improvement...and thats such a positive sign for me.

I only got 3 hours sleep last night even with taking a sleeping pill...have no idea what my problem was...I sat up at 5.30am and started watching the Dr Phil shows Heinz put on DVD for me to watch on my laptop...till breakfast arrived.
On waking and taking my pills I ate a banana
Went to shower...put make up on my face as decided it was New Year and hate looking sick when I dont feel sick...but..clever me got base in my one eye so it was sore the whole day, it ran, it weeped, it felt so sore...

Fruit salad mixed in - food from home.
I refused the cheese spread as has 28g of fat
The mushroom spread as has 30g fat

3 hours later had the left over fruit salad from snack

butter thinly spread over bread...but so thin
One piece of cheese from the cheese platter ( has about 5 slices of cheese ) I cut in half and used on both slices

Later Heinz arrived with a clean pillow slip for me as have my home pillow here, my freshly washed gown and a slab of diet Lindt chocolate - and my breakfast for tomorrow in a cooler bag with more tv shows for me to watch...
I ate 3 blocks of chocolate...
So have ended my points on 35 out of 35 to maintain today
I so want to keep to 29 points while in hospital but finding with bread being around 3 points a slices and eating so much of it here I cant.
Went for another walk up and down the stairs with Heinz tonight...he has huffing and puffing while I was keeping ahead of him...so my fitness level is still up there...will make sure I add a bit more steps to my day tomorrow..did 3 124 today
My stomach is not as flat as it was but am a few days away from a period, thats if it comes as I havent had one in 3 months now.
But as long as I keep to my points daily, eat fruit and drink water and do as much as I can in this situation 'm happy.

In Hospital ~ 31 December 2009
Well where do I start...this is my food blog and not about my current situation, have done enough writing about my health in my other blog which most of you have read and commented on...thanks!!!
I brought my WW tracker book and pen with me to hospital and have been writing down everything I'm eating. I have to also add I'm missing vegetables like crazy....have asked Heinz to put a sweet potato in the oven and bring it for me as it's the one veg I can eat cold.
Everyday when Heinz visits he brings a cooler bag, inside is....my yogurt, 30grams of muesli, 1 Tsp of seeds, tupperware of mixed fruit salad which he has cut up for me and an apple. Oh and a pudding. Yesterday he bought diet lindt chocolate as well...
So I'm been taken good care of by Heinz food wise...and of course in other area's. I could not get through this time if I'd not had Heinz by my side the last few days, he has been a rock of strength to me...I feel totally blessed having him in my life as he shares this journey with me. He gives me such hope and makes me feel so positive that I will be okay, that we will be okay. He has said he will stand by me no matter what, he felt he needed to reassure me on this.
Breakfast in hospital so far has been bread and bread...then lunch I have had some vegetarian dish with potato's and dinner time bread and cheese again!!
The bread blows me up so have refused to eat it - tonight getting a Fish platter, lets see what that looks like.
I'm watching my portion sizes, if I have jam on my bread I use a little instead of the whole tub.
Remember this before you start thinking I'm crazy to be worrying about my diet in hospital but this to me is my NEW lifestyle, its not a diet anymore. I've learnt so much the last 11 months about my eating habits, my triggers etc....I'm more aware now.
I'm currently on a cortisone drip, will be for the next 3 days...so pray after 3 days there is improvement in my eyesight or else will have to be on drip for 5 days....
Am struggling to read posts, but am trying my best...my eye sight gets very tired and I cant focus....but know I'm here with you all....

18 December 2009
Woke up to a freezing Friday....was minus 7 when Heinz went off to work. I did have second thoughts on whether I should go to gym this morning and do the step class...didn't take me too long to decide to go...I know this weekend I won't get a chance to train and next week I have Sarah ( from group ) and her adorable 10 year old daughter coming to stay with me from Sunday to Wed, so not sure with all our plans to visit Xmas markets if I'll get time to get to the gym...I have asked the gym if I can bring Sarah around if she is up to training, they said YES...so now its totally up to how busy our days are going to be if we can squeeze in a training session. I hope so as I would love to train with Sarah.
I've been feeling a little off the last two days. Dizzy, like I have motion sickness...weird, just not myself...I asked the trainer at gym to check my blood pressure before the step as I didn't want to faint in the class. He checked and said it was all good, nothing wrong. During the class I felt on top of the world, no problems even ran for 5kl afterwards on the treadmill...I was feeling good and relieved that I was okay...the trainer had mentioned he wanted to check my heart after the class.
After the class I had the whole check and all was perfect...am VERY fit and in the green area for everything that it had there.
I asked the instructor if I could have my stats that were taken when I joined the gym last year November....so this is what I got and today....
November 2008 December 2009
Weight - 78.2 ( 172.4 lbs ) 59.8 ( 130.5 lbs )
BMI - 30.5 22
Body fat - 40% 23.9%
Fat Mass - 32.2 14.2
So huge improvements which I am very pleased about as I have worked so hard to achieve good long lasting results this last year.

Have been home ( Cape Town, South Africa ) for two holidays and both times I lost weight...I remained focused at all times and always planned ahead if I knew I would need to eat more at functions.
My journey started in Feb this year when I started Weight Watchers - so I see myself having gained these results in 10 months...am pleased I took care of myself and I can encourage everyone else to go for their goal as only you can make it happen for yourself, you have to love yourself more than you love food.

Dear Marcelle
For as long as I can remember I have never given much thought as to how I looked after you, what foods I put inside of you. I've taken it for granted that you will always be a healthy vessel no matter what abuse I gave you.
I want to thank you for being such a healthy body for me even during the times when I neglected you in all area's. I trained on and off - I yoyo dieted - I pumped diet pills into your system and with all of that you still have remained an overall healthy body, for this I'm so so grateful.
Just over a year ago I decided it was time to take better care of you. You were starting to show signs of obesity with aches and pains - at the age of 46 I knew it was now or never. I was either going to make the changes I know you needed or let it continue and pray for the best.
This is the second festive season since I dedicated my time to making you a better and healthier body, this year is harder for me as we together are now maintaining, last year I was still trying to find what plan to follow and was mentally getting myself ready for this journey I've taken you on.
I've been spending lots of thought time on how I can help you come out of this festive season on the positive side...so this is my plan for you.
1. I will train you as often over this period as I am able for one hour per session, I know I cant plan this in advanced as Heinz is on leave so I'm prepared for the unexpected as they do crop up over this time, I do have a stationary bike at home I can use at night when we watching tv if I can't get to the gym - You will have Xmas day off and the day after Xmas - but I know that training you is very important as you need that to, I have proved this to you over and over the last few months. You need to train!
2. I know all about the good foods with good point values, so will make sure I chose wisely for you - if you want something that I know is not a good food, I will allow you to eat it, but make sure you remember portion control. Eating 2 scoops of ice cream is better than a whole bowl full like you would eat in the past. You will be allowed these bad foods but I will control the amount I give you, so you will never feel deprived.
3. I will be cooking Xmas lunch and buying all the foods for the holiday period, therefore I will not buy foods that will be lying around and be a temptation for you. Yes having chocolate, puddings and Xmas cake etc are all foods that most homes will have this festive season, but its only Heinz and you, and he's not crazy about all those food, so make use of that, buy only what you both enjoy and cook healthy foods for Xmas day.....no roast potato's, nothing wrong with baked sweet potato instead. Make a huge pot of Fat Free WW soup and have that as a starter before your main meal....I will be making a huge bowl of salad and fruit salad for dessert - you will enjoy your meal.

I promise to make this an easy festive season for you....I will look after you - I will make sure you end this festive season happy with yourself that you managed to maintain your weight so that going into 2010 is an easier one where for the first time our new years resolution will not be * TO LOSE WEIGHT* BUT TO MAINTAIN MY WEIGHT. That alone is a wonderful gift I can give you Marcelle.
