"To boldly go where no davy has gone before"......(well not for about 15 years anyway!)

I lost 2lbs last week which brings me to 172, lower than I have been for years and years and its a terrifyingly brilliant mental boost, especially after the weeks and weeks of plateau or minimal loss, tis proof that iffin ya just keep at it - 'twill all be grand in the end. Over here we weigh ourselves in stones and pounds and yesterdays weigh in brings me within just 2lbs of breaking 12 stone.. and bejaysus, that would be mighty! I forgot to measure last night - that should be interesting too.

Sarah has lost another 1/2 inch off everywhere this week and its finally begun to register on the scales for her too.... must be all the jogging that we're doing now, as we dodge tractors and farmdogs on the ould country boreens and roads.

Am really feeling for Tiernan who was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes at Easter. He coped so well with EVERYTHING, the blood testing and the 4 injections a day.... he was brilliant. I think that it has taken this long though for it to register with him that this is it... recently he has really felt the limitation of being in a shop and NOT being able to buy anything that he instinctively likes... (its just great that Sarah meself and Patrick are on the same eating plan as him). We'll sort it out with time, explanation, encouragement and hugs...tis just a bit sad for a 8 year old.

Conor returns to us on Wednesday (after being thoroughly spoilt in the UK for a forthnight)... can't wait...

Now!! off for a snoop around to see whats what!!!...

huggles...

Sorry for being missing in action yesterday, I was off 'on site' in the west of Ireland which meant that I had to drive around Galway Bay and places like Cong (where the Quiet Man with John Wayne and Maureen O' Sullivan was filmed) so that was nice - I brought a lunchbox with hard boiled eggs and steak and kinda grazed on it till I got home when I had a lamb salad so it was a really well controlled low carb day.

God... I have not see ye all since Monday morning. But when I got home Monday night Sarah filled me in on what I was like in my drunken stupor on Sunday...which worringly I cannot remember!!! so no more getting blotto in future. Bribing nieces for hugs, making passes at my sister in law (but I've been doing that since I was 14yrs!) talking about boobies in front of my Mother (omg!) and generally being quite... davyish (ie loud and overbearing probably lol). My brother rang me laughing and asking how I was and told me how much I REALLY had to drink... Me Mam rang me asking me how I was saying that she thought I was hilarious! (what does that mean!) so. So again... be warned about the effects of drink "sneaking" up on ya when we are on our low carb low alcohol splurge! *bribing children for hugs - ohhh holy mother of thingy!!!*

Moment of realization yesterday... after years of just shovelling stuff into me gob on the run... I realized last night that I am tasting every last lil bit of food recently.. boring I know but wow.. all the same, love it! Really tasting it all (does that mean that I've finally begun to chew?)

Sarah and I had a 'moment' last night.. she is showing no loss on the scales for the last week or so (TOM and muscle gain - I would definitely say) however last night she tried on a pair of jeans that were just 'unbuttonable' a few months ago and all I could hear from the dressing room was "ohhh my god"!! and in fairness she looked fantastic in them.. so she tried another pair and another and the shock was profound, with many more chorus' of "Ohhh my god - I don't believe that I can fit in these".. so the scales do not tell the whole tale.. by the time she goes home to Yorkshire to meet her family in the summer, she'll be looking fab... but more than that her type one diabetes control is halved in terms of insulin and rock solid in terms of hypo's..

Ohhh... I finally found a place who think that they can provide us with broadband internet to our house.. have ordered it, so it should take bout 3 weeks.. then,god... then I'll have to try to explain to her why I keep asking to be keri's pageboy!! grins.. (we REALLY should make a soap opera bout this place..)

On way too long! sorry...

Have a fierce good day!

SSSSSsssshhhhh don't speak too loudly please!!! if I could muster the energy to chuckle I would but me head and tummy are still recovering from yesterday... which brings me to a salient point!

ALCOHOL...

Beloved the world over and especially us Irish.. but I had a REALLY good lesson yesterday in how ya can lose your tolerance to it once you've been away from it for a bit - what ya used to take in your stride now sends ya on your ear! Went to the brothers house yesterday for a bar-b-que he knows about the atkins so that was great (Sea Bass and salad).

Says he: Davy will ya have an oul beer.

Says I: Jaysus no I won't. Go away ya heathen I'm being good and anyway I might be driving - 'Sarah - am I driving'?

Says She: No yer not... (thereby getting herself off the hook for drinking - Women!!! clever animals!)

Says I: I'll just have a diet coke with a dribble of brandy in it (just to add some flavour like)

Says I [later on]: Ah shure another won't do any harm

~ Do ya know when ya get something really really wrong?~

Something happened, amid the laughter and chat I lost all sense of reason and drank a good quarter bottle of the stuff... darn coke makes the stuff too nice to drink and darn brain was too foggy to notice. And ohhhh did I pay! its been years since I've been this bad - I know... self inflicted, I should have known, me own fault..but just be aware, if you are off the stuff, how only a lil bit can make ya do stoopid things.. (was 3 hours late for work! this morning!) chuckles... never never ever again!

On top of that... I went into labour on saturday.. well okay it wasn't quite labour but close(maybe it was a male version of TOM!)... I took a laxathingy friday night and ohhh my giddy aunt the cramps on saturday morning.. nuff said...

Nett result of the weekend.. me own version of the fat flush.. Sunday was showing the start of a third week of plateau... this morning I was a pound lighter... would I recommend it though!! ohh I'd shake me head if the room wasn't spinning...

And yes.. even though I was hung over and probably close to physical death this morning... what did I do?? chuckles I still weighed in!!!!! (instinct!)

Am off for the lay down the tapping of the keyboard is too loud!
