Well I have had a really good day today :)
Started off with a weigh in (this wasn't the great part of the day!) I am back to 121.2 kilos..not for eating badly.....I'm quite sure it is fluid retention due to the mix of all the medications I am on.
Tania and I went out for a belated birthday breakfast today :) I was super good....2 slices of fruit toast and a orange juice, followed by a skim hot chocolate. Tania and I then decided to go do some shopping, I bought some new undies from target (I was very excited about this lol) then at Katie's (in the Katie's section no less!) I bought 2 t shirts....one peach coloured and one mint coloured....only $9.95 each and they were a size large (happy with that considering they go up to 2XL in the normal section) then I also bought a navy and white straight slightly fitted top with zippers on the shoulders....very cute....that will be a top for the moment I'll save for going out. When I go out for dinner next I'll take a pic in it :)
Tania and I did discuss some exciting plans.....but more on those another time ;)
We talked a lot today about how important support is (with people in your real life and online)....we also discussed how goals are really important....things to aim for....I have a few currently....to get back into my size 16 undies.....I have a fitted size 18 target top to fit into....
The other good news is this week I am going to start training with Fiona again (will be mostly just walking with some body weight stuff thrown in....push-ups against a bench, planks, she will prolly throw in some tricep dips too) these are all things my lungs should cope with....but she will monitor how I cope....and this will only be once a week.....I want to start doing some half hour walks this week to help build up....my area is hilly but I think I can cope with that...specially in the evening. I've also started just doing some push-ups against a wall....because of my health I will seriously be like a beginner restarting. But as Tania said today....when you hit rock bottom you can only go up :)
Here's to a good week :)

Great goals. You will find because you were so fit before you got sick it won't take long at all to get back to that point
I absolutely LOVE this post. I agree with TR in the above comment-- You'll be surprised at how quickly you advance.
Your approach is spot on, in my opinion. And your enthusiasm is a beautiful thing, Karyn. This is your time, my friend. This is THE time, like no other. I'm so overjoyed for you and I look forward to following along!
Your support has me so inspired and focussed - I know that we can do this together!
