    Hopping back on board the cruise ship for my new Day 1. Had a worrying time at the end of January, when my mum became very ill again, culminating in her being taken into hospital in an emergency ambulance towards the end of February. March was therefore dedicated to visiting her in hospital several times a day to keep her morale up while they stabilised her and then we all waited for the date for the operation she needed. Originally that was to have been 28th March but she got suddenly transferred to Plymouth 2 weeks early and had the operation on 14th March. She has been home now for 2 weeks nearly and is still getting better every day. My weight has been roughly stable through this period, and pleasingly my visceral fat readings are still normal, despite a diet that is sometimes too carby as I try to encourage mum to put a bit of weight back on. She essentially hardly ate anything for nearly 5 weeks while feeling really ill. Now ready to start a push to lose a little more and gain some fitness again, after far too much driving and sitting next to a hospital bed.

    Good to have you back on board ship MixnMatch- I hope your mum continues to improve.must have been a worrying time.
    We are all enjoying a leisurely cruise and you’ve got plenty of time to get back into the swing of things. I’ve enjoyed pacing myself this time round and learning to be patient. Two steps forward and three back sometimes but am heading slowly in the right direction.
