Milann's life keeps getting in the way.......

I met my targets last week - short term targets are the way to go for me I think.
This week I plan to -
- stay calm and focused waiting for scan results - no over active imagination
- try a new recipe
- no weight gain
- use gym twice
- visit Santander for bank account shuffle
- knit instead of using I pad as much

Well done

It is better to break down your goals into short term ones, that way they're not so daunting. That's what I do, one week at a time. Stay focused.

The chicken was absolutely delicious- I used korma paste as I don’t like hot spice and rubbed it on the chicken. Started cooking chicken then chopped potato, pepper, cauliflower, some frozen butternut squash, onion, courgette - threw it all back in the oven and the juices flavoured the veg. Yum yum yum. So easy too. I made stock from the bones and leftover juice - threw it in the soup maker with leek, potatoes, carrots and onion so I’ve got soup for a few days. I’m feeling quite organised.
I hope I sleep better tonight - I came down before 5 on Friday morning after tossing and turning from before 4 am.....I thought I might have nodded off watching catch up tv but I didn’t. I stayed in bed over the weekend but think I woke every half hour :mad: I think I might be like this until I get the result - I don’t do waiting well....I’ll be able to manage once I know what is going on but I’m not good waiting at all.

Morning milann

Will have to try that recipe on Mr SA, do you think it would work with a chicken portion as no point doing a full chicken. I don't eat meat and DD doesn't do spices so it would just be for him.

I'm like you with being no good at waiting. I like to know what's what so I can make plans accordingly, roll my sleeves up and tackle it. Hopefully it will be what you think it is.

milann

It should work just as well with a portion of chicken SA.
I went for the scan today. Injection and 1st part of scan at 10 followed by full body scan at 1 pm. Whatever they think they’ve seen- I can't fault them as they’ve taken it seriously. I go for the results on 4th Feb......and relax
I had a lovely evening meeting a MSE friend at big shopping mall after work yesterday...very MSE too using a half price voucher for the main course.
I’ve had a bit of a lazy day in between dashing back and forth to the hospital- catch up tv has been my lot.

Hi Milann

Just checking in to make sure that the scan went ahead OK today and now it's just a matter of waiting for the results. I've never had a scan, but I assume they don't give you any indication of what they're seeing as they do it?

Keep smiling

HappyNow

Ooh, you posted literally a minute before I did! Not long to wait for the results, that's good

milann

No Happy they have a good poker face and don’t give much away. He was a lovely chap though and got into my vein 1st time which is always a bonus. It’s bruised but I’ve had much worse. Got to say I’ve had more than my fair share of scans over the years....

Glad that the scan is done.
Not too long til the 4th Feb.
