Thanks Mel got a ride in.and did 5 or 6 miles. Not.home to check.at the mo. Food today was on the line...freddo and some mayo on a salad and a lemon sorbet ice cream . I dont like how mayo makes me feel and rarely have it. I do find its the silent sauces that hold alot of the calories. Had another day at mums feeling quiet tired may have a exercise break and i have a couple of freedays now where i can do a nice long ride. Wore leggings a tight top and long denium shirt today felt realy good...and its just the start

Morning! Well done on the ride.

I think sauces are "silent calories" (I like that description) -- but you can use just a little and control it. Are you drinking lots of water? Hydrate along with the fitness.

Hiya Mel
Ive kicked the water back into touch Mel i had got realy lazy so lost the taste and calling for it. Once i force start i drink loads so the plan is that the tea will slowly slip away and possibly no tea bags at home. I took sauces out my diet a few years back due to E numbers and i think i may have a tad vinegar allergy so i took every thing out my diet and its surprising how i dont need them or miss them. Seeing my little angel tiday for a pub lunch. First a long hedge to cut and grass. Then a short ride to Gd and longer route home. Prob get in 4 miles today.

Hi Mel yesterday was a tad naughty. I completed the garden 4 hours hard flipping labour it was boiling to. Then walked to GFs took her for cod chips and peas of which i ate batter and chips. We used to have huge choclate cake for desert but we had none which was great. We took a short walk and i brought her a t shirt and maching hair band and then i saw her into Karate. I then came home and later ate a frozrn pizza...if it wasnt there i couldnt of had it. I can safely say there is no more bad food in the house. So I also had a 1 mile walk on top of 4 hrs labour. I must stay focused if i want some result on Monday. Scales are still away and im so greatful for the strength im gaining to keep them there as living with them first thing in the morning is horrible.
Today was up early went shopping for good food then laid under a large cardboard box to practise fir saturdays MRI. Feeling tired today due to damn pizza so hopefully later about 8 i will be up to doing s local ride of about 3 to 4 miles.
Hope all is well with you

Sounds like a busy day. If the pizza was your dinner, then it probably wasn't too much over your meal calorie budget -- and the gardening I'm sure lead to a good burn.

Interesting about the cardboard box MRI thing. It was not the claustrophobia thing that I found difficult with a MRI it was the incredible noise. It's very loud. Try deep breathing and tuning out. Also, as you have to stay very still - invariably your nose will start to itch.

I hope it goes well. It's not really scary -- just awkward.

Thanks Mel its my 4th and the only thing that concerns me is random panic attack they are few and far between now. One day i can sail through anything another im a wreck. The noise must be load as i take my own CD but you can hardly hear it. When did you have one i know they were much worse years ago.

About 12 years ago for my sinuses. My SIL s so claustrophobic that she had to be booked into a special open MRI.

Hiya Mel
12 years ago they must of been different as the first attempt i had was in a huge metal wall with a hole in the centre that was my initial freak out 7 years back.
Since then they are long pods.
Not sure if you may have had the same but lots changed.
The open MRI the big doughnut i did that one after failing first attempt. The doc told me they needed the proper one as the doughnut doesnt give as accurate results.
Thats when i started the cardboard box practise and it works ok.
As i go in the room i see the narrow hole and bed and get prickly with a panick attack feeling. I lye on the bed have a good rant at my self ( out load lol ) then when i see the size of the head cap i realise how far the roof of the tunnel will be away from me.
I ask that i can be left with my hand touching the out side front area and the mirror above my eyes looking at my feet.
So with that today i could of had a nap i was well chuffed with myself. However if i needed a stomach scan that may be a problem as you have to go in all the way.

Food wise ive been not been to bad and ive done alot of Running between places and can feel the difference in my ability to do it, which is great.
No Difference in my size yet but early days.
Still not irradicated bread totaly but MRI out the way does open up more brain cells so improvment can still be made.

 

[MinnieMel]

Hi LFM,

My MRI was in the big machine -- it was the noise that bothered me. But I am managed and I'm glad you did, too.

If you don't mind my asking -- why are you having an MRI? I had mine because of sinus problems and ended up having extensive surgery. It led to a big improvement in my health (I had chronic sinusitis, infections, got bronchitis and pneumonia each year), etc.

Good luck staying on track!

Wiegh day 12st 6oz "still"
this is where i loose the passion if im not carefull. Its still good news changes take a while to kick in. I was quiet ill yesterday migrane and didnt get to do anything. So with that im no longer leaving a strong days effort till Sunday last chance work outs are ok if you dont get ill.
Mel my MRI ihave 2 issues left side face and left sude neck.
Face us half an anesthetic. I can feel the skin but underneath im numb. Mostly cheeck.bone area but it can spread to nose and partical drop to top teeth row.
Other issue is a lump under my ear in my neck i have one both sides they are normal but mine is constant larger. Tender and when i bend over its like a Lead wieght in my neck. Running is painfull and wieghty and when.i look left with head down it gets squashed and hurts like hell. Not very goid when cycling. I have problems inside my throat left side to choke alot and im being checked for eagle syndrome. And thier having a look round.
If the sinus is the cannal that is at the top of the nose and runs under eyes...i can fit my little finger in it and along it. I have questioned a few times reg this but it doesnt explain the neck lump. But ive always thought they are 2 different problrms anyway. I have a deviated nose bone my right sides almost closed over hence the finger travel....what a picture you must have lololol.
Prob is cold air goes in it and aggrivates like hell.

 

[MinnieMel]

I had a deviated septum and ended up with sinus surgery. The neck lump might be related to an infection in your sinuses. I hope you get it sorted. Sinus infections can cause the numbness, tooth pain, etc.

I tried to join WW couldn't find the meeting. I've not weighed in ages, but my clothes feel tight and I feel fat. I need to get myself on track.

 

[lookingforme]

We can do it Mel weve already done it.
Its just that light bulb moment and getting to the point of being "Totaly feed up with being feed up" the benefit im feeling increasing at the moment is that im not depressed about it everyday as im attending to it so subconciously i must know its ok.

Have you got a future date that you can zone in on like im using GDs Birthday. Its not to long or overpowering.

Its a nightmare Mel im looking down at my phone now and its constant feeling of aggravation there. 6 years niw so i told doc im going private exrays and speacialist and she was good sent me to dental hospital. I feel like i want ti take it out myself or peel back my cheek skin to have a look.

Im ready to go to find sime top doc...no dought in London if this doesnt work.

 

[MinnieMel]

Well let's hope they sort it.

When is GD's birthday?

 

[lookingforme]

Hi Mel
It would be amazing if they could sort it out its been very bad since MRI day.
Gds birthday 27yh July. But she was born August. Its early so she can share it with her nursery friends as she leaves them then after almost 3 years.
Not sleeping till 5am again quiet tired now which is going to knock the exercise! Must sort it asap.

Had a quick jump.on the scales 11st 13lb 8oz so thats a pound down.

They are back.in the cupboard and are staying there. Nice to see a result of some sort so.im going to ride on that reading. Sliwly but surely it will drop.
