Day 77 - Keeping the dream alive - Happy Halloween

Happy Halloween

Week 11 and I am looking to review some significant health matters for me. Having suffered from Obstructive Sleep Apnoea (OSP) for around 4 years, I have arranged for a re-test to see if my weight loss has affected my condition. So I have not been using my CPAP device since Monday and have to pick up my testing device this Friday and will get the result the following Monday. I am not sure how I feel right now as some of the symptoms are similar to those from being on the LL program. Well next week will tell.

Also, I am taking a visit to the doc next Tuesday to see if my hypertension has altered. I have been monitoring this for a while now and I think it is lower but can I consider stopping the tablets? Again next week will tell.

So all in all, the next week will be interesting.

However, this has not stopped me getting on with the plan. After weight in today, I have lost a further 4.9 lb taking my weight to under 14 stone for the first time in over 15 years! Yippppeee.

This is a lovely song from a Scandinavian band who sound on this track a lot like the Beatles. A song about optimism and positive thoughts. Great stuff and just what I need to take on board for the next week. Fingers crossed.

Song: Keeping the dream alive
Artist: Freiheit
Album: Fantasy
Year: 1988

Tonight the rain is falling
Full of memories of people and places
And while the past is calling
In my fantasy I remember their faces

The hopes we had were much too high
Way out of reach but we had to try
The game will never be over
Because we're keeping the dream alive

I hear myself recalling
Things you said to me
The night it all started
And still the rain is falling
Makes me feel the way I felt when we parted

The hopes we had were much too high
Way out of reach but we have to try
No need to hide no need to run
'Cause all the answers come one by one
The game will never be over
Because we're keeping the dream alive
