I am special
Well a bit of me is anyway :)
I gave blood again yesterday, my 16th time, and I was told I was a Baby-Donor. When she saw the look on my face, the nurse explained: As my blood doesn't contain CMV (a common but nasty virus, or more specific the antibodies to it) it is suitable for premature babies who haven't developed enough bone marrow to produce their own red blood cells.
Every time I think about it, a get a little shiver. I know that giving blood saves lives, but it made it just that little more special to know where your blood goes :)
I have been a tat lazy with journaling but once this next Bank Holiday Monday is out the way I will try to be a bit more regular ;)
I think my weight is steady. I have not weight in for 171 days. But the way my clothes fit, I might be well and truly in maintenance. I know a couple of extra pounds wouldn't hurt but I feel happy where I am in the moment. Still concentrating on strength training with a bit of cardio thrown in.
Now if I could get my Hayfever a bit more under control.........!!!!
Happy Days
