It’s raining outside
cold too. Forecast for a miserable week. Talking of miserable, we watched one
of the best dramas from the brilliant BBC called Les Miserables. Set in France
during the most barbaric war. But the story and acting was superb!
Last night I went to the cinema with my friend again. We went
to see another fantastic film. It is called Instant Family. It’s a comedy and
it was really good. We had a most enjoyable time. Bless her I met her after
work again and again, she hadn’t eaten. But I guess at least she chilled
sitting for a couple of hours. As she works in a busy hospital.
Soon to be my birthday week. And the start of
something new. And then it will be time for our Sons birthday. It’s becoming
more difficult to know what to get him. I know what he likes, he has expensive
taste like his Dad but he is so very grateful for anything we get him.
Talking of Hub, he hasn’t been well at all the past couple
of days. He went to work today but isn’t good. He hasn’t really been the same
since his hospital stay last year. I must say I’m concerned about him.
I have been told my Amazon driver is two stops away. How clever
is that?
And now some scientific news. Neuroscientists have discovered
a focal pathway in the brain that when electrically stimulated causes immediate
laughter followed by a sense of calm and happiness, even during awake during
brain surgery.
Someone tell me that pathway?
Health headlines
Gut bacteria causes
depression according to researchers.
Cases of six cancers soar in young people caused with being
overweight.
But some good news is they think that all cancers start from
one single cell. Well if that is the case, then they can hopefully attack that
from birth? That would be amazing.
A Grandmother has been refused a hip replacement in the UK
because she is 17 stone. 238 lbs.
Well I have empathy for the lady as she is in so much pain,
but if they say the hip won’t work because there is a lot of weight on it, then
what are they expected to do? She was getting the operation free as it is on
the NHS, so maybe she can pay for her operation and then if it works, see about
how she can get her money back? Hub and I talk about this, things that are self-inflicted.
Like weight related diseases etc should they be given free treatment? If medics
do say no, then I would hope they do spend time in trying to get that person
help with weight loss.
I was reading that a long six-year study of people who went
on a diet for a while, afterwards some kept up with the exercise and others
didn’t do any and those who kept the exercise up, continued to lose weight and
if they were invited out for a special meal, they increased their exercise a
few days before and didn’t put on any weight because of the meal. If you eat a
treat at weekends the full weeks diet before will be wiped out. Unless you do exercise
leading up to your weekend binge. In other words, exercise is more important
than a strict diet. A bit of everything, variety some good feasts, some diets
and some exercise. Rather than eating hardly anything at all forever or eating
well all week and having a treat at the weekend. You have to do all three to
live a happy and healthy life. Well you all know how shocking my diet is. I am
shameful. I eat so much bread. Today I have had two large bread roles with
tomato in. for dinner tonight I had mash with butter, one small veg pie with
pastry and carrots. Also, a bag of 23 g of crisps and a slice of cake. Now to
me, that isn’t a load of food. My Son, has had a cooked breakfast, a cooked
dinner and his meal tonight. But no meat, no dairy and he has been to the gym. He
has a perfect physique. When I say been to the gym, I’m talking two and a half
hour of solid exercise. Wow, I seriously remember the days when I had that much
energy. Now look at me.
I need a get up and get going pill. I just now find exercise
so boring, an yet I would love to be fit and have that near perfect body. So far,
it’s a dream. But hey, dreams do come true…
Tomorrow will be a day of packing stuff away boxing them up and
clearing things either for storage or the rubbish. I think I will be hours
doing that.
Once again thank you all for your messages and emails. And to
a beautiful Blogget I send my love to you at this time when you are not feeling
well. You know who you are. Loving healing thoughts sent your way.
