Here is the mountain i climbed down, as you can see it was worth the effort! And then of course i had to get back up again, but it was still a wonderful achievement for me to have while hips are so bad, so i'm proud of myself.

And the water was heavenly, so we swam in it, this was our reward for making it down the mountain. It's called Atlantis and hardly anyone was there so it was peaceful too.

Holiday
Holiday was amazing!! Very much needed and i managed to do tons of walking and i even managed to get down a mountain side to swim in the lagoon at the bottom, and climb up again!! Yes i got major payback of pain once home, but my god it was so worth it!! I've been training while biggest loser has been on and just before holiday i had lost 4lbs so i was well pleased with myself. Of course i put it all back on with my lager diet on holiday, but it's been a week home now and i managed to lose 3lbs again so i'm happy with that. Gutted biggest loser has finished, i was watching the usa and uk one and the australia one (aussy one not finished just yet!) and they have been my gym buddies so i work out everytime i watch them, and with skyplanner i choose when that is (thank god!)
My knees still play me up while on the elipitcal trainer, so i'm not sure if i'm doing more damage than good to myself. God knows who i could ask? as my consultants sec never seems to answer the phone.
I'm totally Ibiza sick as i miss it so much already, as soon as your back home all the boring chores and boring daily routine comes back, and it's hard to handle. So i'm hoping to do some more camping with the kids in the 6 weeks holiday and get as many days out as i can.
Not long until i see O'Hara now really about 6 weeks which will soon fly by i'm sure, and i hope the waiting list wont be too long but if it is, then oh well, the holiday was still worth the hassle.

Exercising while immobile
After wanting to seriously lose some weight and to feel like i'm part of the 'real' world again, i've started to exercise. Before i've always let my hips and the pain they dish out rule me and the end result has meant i've got unfit and overweight. So biting the bullet, i've started a gentle toning routine that does not flare up the hips in anyway, some free weights for upperbody only, and a few sessions on the elliptical trainer (which strangely doesn't hurt the hips as the flexors are different to normal walking) and i've finally managed to lose some weight. The last 2 weeks i've lost 6lbz and 8 inches overall, so i've now tasted some success which has totally spured me on!!
My holiday is in 2 days and i'll probably put it all on again, but now i know i can shift it i'm not as worried and i'll start again as soon as i'm home, it will be only the cocktails that will put the weight on, on holiday not the food!! lol see you all once i'm home with a tan! xx

Camping!!
We went camping in Wiltshire for the last few days and i LOVED IT, it was just what the doctor ordered, simple back to basic's living and forgetting our troubles. We went to a lovely site that is super friendly and it encourages young and old alike to help feed the animals there, like the piglings and Big pig Molly, a few lambs (that can be bottle fed by kids) feed the baby Chicks and Hens and feed and pet the Rabbots too!! A real freedom site where kids can be left to play without worrying about them straying far (they always stay near the bunnies, as they've had babies) and cars. So it was relaxing even though we had a little rain. Every night we had a real camp fire which is rarely allowed these days, and toasted our marshmallows, it was pure heaven!!
Who cares my hip played up as usual, somehow it didn't matter? I stayed topped up on pain killers and even though it was slightly uncomfortable sleeping it was so worth it, so i can't wait to plan the next trip there.
Still going to try and change my appointment date as i can't wait that long!! The pain is vile and i'd be so out of my 18 week treatment plan, why should i be forced to wait another 3 months in pain?? I wanted to try and ask for a phone consultation but i'm not having luck at the moment, nor am i for getting a cancellation appointment. But i will keep trying as i'm desperate to see him sooner if i'm being honest. I want my life to move on and go onto the next level, i've bben on this level for the last 3 1/2 years!
