eric - you're being very quiet, I dont like it

Sowwy, I feel very very ill, dont have much energy and cant do much, not sure if its cause of my condition or because i cant train ...

Not really focusing on much at the moment, spent the whole weekend sat on my giant fat a$$ ..

I think my meds have made me store alot of water or its my TOTM as my weight loss this week has been a shock, and the avg over the last 2 weeks has been bang on

drilled 4 more holes in my belt and instantly used 2 of them which is good, when i started i had about 2" of spare belt it now goes halfway around me lol by the time im finished it will go around me twice :eek:

paranoid now about going into starvation mode and losing body muscle ...

Sorry to hear you so down Eric, keep going with the healthy eating though won't you - don't undo your good work there even if you can't train.

I hope you get some positive news soon - when do you see the consultant?

He was called a spasticated retard by eldest and yesterday a stupid fat child ( I do modicodle him a lot because he has got problems with reading, writing, spelling, talking listening ,forgetfullness and I know he has a hard time at school with kids so inside the house until the docs run endless tests on him and sort it out what it is all I can do is reassure him he is fine, no one takes the mickey in the house, everyone listens and cares etc except the eldest:eek:) his problems make him super sensitive and whilst we were both in the kitchen peeling spuds he asked me if he was a sr or stupid and had he got a problem? I made a laugh and joke about and said of course not, just sometimes his brain does not think properly etc, we had a giggle about it and I have reassured him, he is normal:D youngest goes and tries to talk to eldest but he shoves him out of his room and often he will go and show his lego off and eldest does not want to know and youngest hates it when eldest starts shouting and going on and we have to ask him to stay in the living room watching T.V while we go and sort it out, in youngest fluffly happy made up world all are happy, smiling and get on but that is not the case:D

ouch victory - that is not good is it. Your eldest has got the serious hump. I am sorry (and cross with him) he's saying those things to youngest. You at least were able to minimise the damage:T.

Forgot to say earier - fabbo results:T:T

Eric - sorry you are feeling so lousy. I have had a not disimilar weekend by the sound of it: barely able to get off the sofa and every movement and thought a humongous effort, as though battery completely drained. So i know it is not a nice feeling.

Well done Lois - you soon nipped that gain in the bud:T.
Mazza - honest, there is plenty to look forward to in your 40's. I have friends who by outward appearances has very sucessful 20' &30' but still are adamant their 40's are the most fulfilling etc.

OH asked him again today for a truce/talk/apology/reasoning/don't let this drag on and eldest said no, never, he doesn't care if it drags on for years he said so now OH and I have no clues as to how to continue (obviously can never back down) and so OH is looking in the cupboard at our electrics to see if we can cut the electricity supply to him room only, OH has no clue how to do it but he says yes we have to clothe, feed and house him without question but we do not have to provide him with the luxuries that he says we never give him like electricity, the use of the washing machine, the dishwasher, the trinkets of life that are fab to have but if we do nothing for him and give him nothing and he has nothing we will have to explore that root, such a shame he is being such a silly boy and OH is loosing patience with him and it is getting nasty, cruel, silly, tit for tat, ridiculous really but we can't seem to put the sense into eldest, stop this and get back to normal, it is def not something I would choose but everything that OH says I have to show a united front and go along with, how it came to this? Anyone got some ideas feel free:D

This might not be politically correct but I would give your oldest DS a slap fopr saying that victory.He really knows what buttons to push.

Reporting a loss of 1.5 lbs this week.

Victory - all you and your husband are doing at the moment is giving your eldest son what he wants - your attention! I honestly wouldn't contemplate cutting the electricity to his bedroom, that seems a little like spite rather than trying to teach him a lesson. Unless you are looking to punish him? Not sure what your aim is to be honest. I know you just want the whole situation to go away but that just isn't going to happen.
He does something, then you do something back, then he does something then.... do you see where this is going.
At some point it just gets so bad that there is nothing either of you can do to make it better as pride and stubborness prevent it! If I was in your situation I would just talk to him as normal, put his dinner on the table as normal etc. He will come around eventually and that will be the time that you can sit down together and have a heart to heart talk about the situation. At the moment you are all hurting too much to be able to do that.

Please don't take offense, but you and your husband are the adults and your are going to have to be the ones to resolve it - without making the situation escalate any more!

Vix try http://gb.mapometer.com/en/ for measuring distances .

If you want to train for the 5K, I'd recommend walking the distance a few times first, a brisk walk will probably take you just under an hour.

Then gradually introduce a bit of running, definitely don't sprint, keep it really slow! The slower you run, the longer you'll be able to run for. A good trick is to walk briskly and increase speed until you are JUST breaking into a run, then don't go any faster than that!

Keep running as long as you can (even if it's half a mile or less), then walk the rest. Next time, try to run a little bit further if you can, and so on each time you go out.

Couple of golden rules, always assess how you're feeling before you go for a run, and don't increase the weekly mileage by more than 10% each week (or any single run by more than 10% of the previous longest one).

This isn't how I started to run I have to admit, but it's what I'd do if I was beginning now, based on everything I've learnt in the past two years of running! Good luck! :j

Thanks missy, kinda broken the rule already because i ran. I think i will walk 5k next though, and then see if i can run further than the pole i have earmarked!!
Feel a bit sick and full of air now ive come back. Bit weird!
