Accountability.... :(
My name is Vicki and I am ashamed of myself.
I jumped on the scales today and cried.
I am now sitting at 109.2 kg :(
I was 90.5kg when I fell pregnant...
I was 92kg when I was 42 weeks pregnant..
I came home from hospital weighing 84.6kg...
That means in 26 months I have gained 24.6kg :(
I started back using a free 14 day trial of Weight Watchers today.
I hope I can workout what I usually eat etc and get a rough idea of points etc so I can continue on without it afterwards.
I need to be 90kg in April so that the OB/GYN will help me fall pregnant..
So thats 19.2 kg I have to lose in about 16 wks... it is achievahble.
Its only just over 1.2kg/wk.
I need to start eating properly.. In the sense.. I need to eat.
I rarely eat - I have no interest in food... but when I do eat - I eat a lot in one go - usually late at night....
My body is in 'starvation' mode and I need to eat btw 8-12 small portions of food a day as I have insulin resistance... I also need to start taking my Metformin properly.
So here we go :)

Ok done :)
Ok so if you read below, you will see our journey from 01/10/10-19/10/10 in regards to Nathan and having him tested for Autism.
As it does say a fair way down the page we are currently in limbo til 14 Feb 2011 until Nathan has another Griffith's test - which I thought showed just how their motor skills levels were sitting at - but when I looked up for the link for here I noticed it says its actually a mental development scale :( (here is the link if you would like to find out more about it Griffiths Test
Until it is redone and Nathan's mental age is at the the equiv of 2 years old - we cannot go ahead with the ADI-R testing for Autism.
His speech is sitting at the 15-18 month old level (and he will be 2 1/2 aka 30 months on the 29th Oct)
We got given the diagnosis yesterday of 'Developmentally Delayed' & 'Sensory Processing Disorder'.
This alone could be the problem, but it also can be just ticks in boxes on the Autism scale too...
So yeah fun and games here for us at the moment.

Day 1 ! Blogging for Octoberfest 2010!
Autism....
Nathan was given the diagnosis of Autism in July when we saw the Pediatrician.
We did some paperwork - and we were told that he has mid - high functioning variety. Now we have to wait til our next appointment to find out more.
I didn't actually realise that the paperwork we did was part of the actual paperwork we have to do for the diagnosis until the Speechy asked had we done it (MCHAT) and I was like, ummm I've done it 3 times now...
Our next scheduled appointment isn't until 12/12 - so I have been calling and calling to see if we could see him sooner... Finally last Friday we got the date of 19/10!! I also kept the 12/12 appointment and made another appointment while I could for mid March which is when his next appointments were available. I dread to think when our next appointment date would have been if we didn't see him until Dec and tried to book the next appointment!
He passed his hearing test last week! Scheduled for an eye test on the 19/10 as well. Speechy is doing a formal speech assessment to see where he actually sits next Friday and we see the OT the following Thursday to discuss the program she wants us to start with him..
When we saw the OT a few weeks ago she told us that he has a big problem in the sensory area. And said it needs to be addressed and dealt with ASAP. Evidently the messages from his brain to what activity etc he is doing is getting lost in translation and then the same on the return path from the activity to the brain :(
I questioned her about toilet training as he will be 2 1/2 at the end of October and she said its the least thing to be worrying about atm and to deal with everything else first off. I wish certain people would stop constantly hounding me about it. He doesn't even know that he poo's in his nappy - you find out when the smell his you :(
Any way I best be moving and starting activities here for the boy

Days 6, 7 & 8
Things havent been the best the last few days...
I have been having a hard time with a few issues I have etc....
Lack of motivation, energy etc.
I really need to get out of this slump.
Last night was really the icing on the cake - 2.30am I was wide awake still, I had gone to bed at 10pm..... so i had to use my incase of emergency meds (sleeping tablets/anxiety meds) for this purpose. and come 3am i was still awake, so had to take a second dose.
I managed about 2 1/2 hours sleep btw then and 8 am.....
I sms'd my mum and she came and grabbed Nate and took him down to her place at 9am and brought him back at 12.45. I got about 1 hrs sleep tops over the course of 9.30-12.
Better than nothing tho I guess :)

Days 9, 10 & 11
Just another group post today.
BTW if you actually read this blog - please subscribe/follow me.
I feel that I am just talking into nowhere atm.
As I have mentioned elsewhere today - I am in a big cant be stuffed slump atm.
I can't get out of it at all.
Since I hurt my back in Feb I really have lost all self confidence/self respect for myself...
I really don't know where to start to get back on track.
Having all this stuff happen with Nathan's Autistic diagnosis and the stuff around we are getting in regards to appointments and the like - we were suppose to have him have his formal speech assessment on Friday last week (we seen Paed on the 19th FINALLY) and they called last thing on Thurs and cancelled for her and couldnt reschedule GRRRRR... I am hoping she calls tomorrow and books us in as I think she only works Tues/Thurs - and theres only those two days this week before we see the Paed... We have an OT app on Thursday morning. This appointment is for her to discuss what we are going to do with Nate with routine and activities etc to help his sensory issues.
I will come back later and do another post.
Troy's taken Nate for a walk and I really should be organising dinner seeing as its actually 6.12 pm!!

Day 11 Part II
Well yet again the day is almost over.
I, yet again am wide awake as per the last three nights.
I just realized I haven't taken my meds but cbf'd getting up to take them.
I managed to cook steak and fries for dinner-- really healthy.
I promised to Troy that we'd have smokey BBQ marinated grilled chicken and salad tomorrow. So let's see how that goes lol. I restocked the salad ingredients yesterday -- especially after the 50 cent avocado score at the markets in Sat :-). Little ones with tiny stones. Yummmmmm
Anywho let's close these big blue peepers and get some shut eye.
BTW Nate watched play school this afternoon and now mimicks the rowing action and says "row wooww woa ya butt"
Precious kodak moments imprinted on my heart.
I love you Nathan xoxo
Tomorrow I will endeavor to post my " to-do" list and see how i go this week.
Also I will post on our score from local council kerb side pickup haha
Xoxo

October 12th Day 12 Blogtoberfest Post
Another day in Slumpville....
I seem to be drowning here... and can't figure which way I need to swim in order to get out....
Sick of being stuffed around with Nate's appointments to get stuff done.
Evidently the speechie is away on holidays.. if so why the bleep would you book appointments in if you knew you were going to be away?
I HAVE to have this damn speech assessment done and dusted and have the results to take with me next tues to the paed...
She may/may not be back Thurs.. they can't assure me on which way it will be... FFS
We see the OT on Thurs again - to follow up on the assessment she did a few weeks ago and see what ideas she has for us to do.....
Just watching the end of Parenthood. then off for a shower and I will head to bed xoxo

19 October (Day 19 of Blogtoberfest)
Well I certainly have been super slack!
Well we’ve been back to our Paed today…
Today we got some sort of good info…. Officially with his Griffith’s (the test they use to check motor skills) testing he’s done - none of its says his mental age is 24 months or more - which is what is needed to start the official testing with his autism…
The test he is going to do is the ADI-R interview one His speech is at the equiv of a 15-18 month old (he will be 30 months/aka 2 1/2 at the end of the month) I knew it was bad.. but seeing it in writing really hit home.
So yeah - booked back in for 14/02/11 for the next Griffiths test and go from there In the mean time he has told us that he is officially ‘developmentally delayed’ and he has ‘sensory processing disorder’ and that alone he said will help us get EI for him. He said that they may alone be his problems, but can also possibly be ticks in the autistic box too.
Sigh.. I am exhausted today.. its been a long day!
I also got a wake up at the OB/GYNO today… Pretty much was told.. lose 15 kg in nxt 6 months or theres no chance in TTC at all :( (I have PCOS and Insulin Resistance.. On Metformin and was told 12 mnth ago if I hadnt falled UTD by now that they would give me Clomid as the next step….
I’m still peeved off atm about it all) Not for the want of trying I tell you…..
Dr said I need to have 8-10 small portion of food a day to get my body out of stavation mode atm with my insulin levels and i was like i struggle to eat 2 meals a day let alone all that food and she said if im not hungry i need to exercise until I am… grrrrr I went in for all that and ended up having to have a follow up colposcopy & pap smear (I had CIN III scare 18 mnths ago) - thankfully there wasnt anything that showed up when they were doing it this time so no biopsies :D
