Ok so thankfully my down moods don't last very long and yesterday I was much better and today I'm positively chipper!

I can't do anything about my now rapidly thinning hair...along the top and the crown is worst. I look like I have an extra wide parting if that makes sense but careful, gentle brushing can cover up the worst of it. It must have been happening gradually cos it was hubby who noticed it and I havent been losing lots of hair in one go so to speak. So anyway, I've got some pills and some shampoo (they have different names here) and I'll continue to do the best I know how to do.

Same goes for my weightloss really. It has to drop at some point, there's no logic in it not doing:confused: I've added an extra protein shake to my diet each day and this adds 20g of protein and 200cals so does 2 jobs.

I have begun to do an aerobics dvd I have. I was chuffed cos I used to only be able to do a few mins but now I can do the 15min warm up and a bit more. I want to build it up slowly simply cos of fear for my knees but so far so good and it's a different kind of exercise from treadmill so should be good. Dunno how long it will be before I can do the whole thing LOL...one step at a time folks!

Think hubby is feeling sorry for me 'cos he's volunteered to take me for a day out on Saturday. We still haven't decided where we are going but a trip is a trip is a trip! We might get to see our 'cumbara'- Greek for best man and his wife and then go into Nafplio which is a town I love..we'll see.

Swimming is now gonna be Tues or Wed each week cos it was nicer and quieter...probably Wednesday now.

That's all really. It was J's dad and son's name day yesterday because they are both called illias and today is his dad's birthday too. The family have come to eat Moussaka but I have been excused attending on account of it's too carb based and not good for my sugar. I ate cold pork from last night and peas.

On a final note...my sugar levels this week have been perfect and I havent needed insulin...we are going to chat with doc about it tonight cos sometimes it still rises but this week its been in 80's when I wake and no more than 120 all day. In 7yrs being diabetic it has never ever been so good.:clap2:

I am so sorry about the hair but it really does grow back. That is sweet the your hubby is taking you out, enjoy yourself and remember cake is at least a 2 hour walk. LOL

Excellent job on the insulin levels..:welldoneclap: :confused:

Way to go Ali on the sugar levels! woo hoo! see -- that 61+ lbs definitely is making big differences in your life -- I'm glad you only have a few down days too - lol - I'm selfish - I miss talking to you! Awesome job on the aerobics - so cool to be able to do it easier now :welldoneclap:
