UP WHERE HE BELONGS................

Well I had the dreaded phone call from dad this morning to say that Pop had passed away quietly in his sleep last night. Dad went in to see him this morning and realised he had passed. I was standing in safeway when I got the phonecall - of all places. Tears streaming down my face just listening to dad. I have been okay so far the rest of the day. Dad is trying to get the funeral held on Friday. Being the long weekend we cant have it on Monday and it is Chloe's 5th birthday on Tuesday so I said that would be out. What a busy few weeks we have coming up. Anyway heres to you old Poppy Ian and I hope you are happy again in the arms of Nanny Betty and may you both be together forever.

I had a roast dinner at a friends house for tea last night and a few too many drinks. I have been a bit naughty again with the pineapple udls but they are just ttttttoooooooo yummy. I went to gym yesterday and did a workout. Didn't manage to get there today, but will try and go tomorrow again. It makes me feel really good even know my muscles are a bit tender afterwards. Must mean it is working though.

Have not weighed in officially at ww for the past 2 weeks but my scales are around the same at home so that must be a good sign that I am maintaining at this stage. I will get back there very soon.

    Oh Kysa.. so sorry to hear about the news about your Pop.. :-( From the sounds of it, he will now be out of pain and in peace. I know you and your family will miss him.. it's always difficult to say goodbye to a loved one but you can keep the good memories of your pop alive through your children and telling them stories of him..

    Do take care Kysa and hope all goes well with the funeral..

    Trisca.. xo

    Kysa, I'm so sorry to hear about your pop...but like Trisca said, it sounds as if he's in peace and not in pain anymore. You and your family are in my thoughts hun.

    In reply to your Q's on my blog about RPM. It is hard, but you make it as hard as you want. The instructor usually says to go at your own pace. The first time I went, and we had to stand up for the mountain climb I could keep it up and had to sit on the seat again. But the more I go, it's a bit better. Also when she/he says to increase the resistance, you turn it up as much as you can manage.

    Oh, and you won't be able to walk for 2 days after your first RPM class...LOL....my butt was so sore!! Let me know if you decide to try it...it's fun, really! Oh, and you might want to consider buying a padded bike seat cover...helps a little...LOL

    All my love goes out to you Kysa.
    Have some time to grieve and reflect on your Pop's life. And remember that you and your family now have another angel watching out for you.
    All the best

    Sorry to hear about your Pop but at least now you know there is no more pain and like you said in the arms of your Nanna where he now belongs. This is a bit late so I hope the funeral went as well as it could and that it was filled with many happy memories. XX

    Hi Kysa,

    I've been popping by every couple of days to see how things are going but I'm figuring you've got other priorities right now than updating your blog and you're probably run off your feet.

    Trust that everything is going okay for you and the family.. take care and be gentle with yourself okay??

    Lots of love,

    Trisca.. xo
