I've also had flu capsules but i refuse to syn them! Id syn lozenges as they are like sweets (and i could eat them like sweets!) but I'm not synning flu capsules that i need to get me through the day and be able to look after Reece!

 

[Poppet12]

Sorry you're not feeling too good so much around at this time of year, and you have a generous child! Your lunch sounds yum, might have that for my lunch tomorrow! I agree re not synning meds.. I'd be knackered I'm rattling today lol x

 

[freakydarkstuff]

I read about your knee Rosie!! Sounds awful Hope the meds are giving you some relief!!

I think its silly to syn certain medicines - as i said, the lozenges and pastilles i can understand if you abuse them like sweets but painkillers and cold/flu meds (and even laxatives) are necessary.

 

[jules1981]

Yep sorry you are feeling poorly and you done well to stay under 15 syns hun I wouldn't syn the flu capsuals either xxx

Yes the lozenges tend to be full of sugar! I try not to have many when my throat is sore but find they do help :-/
My knee is slightly better thank you but I think its from the painkillers. They make me feel weird though lol. I feel like I might burst into tears and my stomach feels like when you're stuffed/starving. Odd! X

 

[snowbryneich]

Surely flu capsules can't have syns in anyway - they must be negible calorie wise? they all have about 1 calorie according to my fitness pal which is the only thing i could find listing calories at all for them

 

[jules1981]

Hope you are feeling a bit better today hun xxx

 

[freakydarkstuff]

Thanks for checking Snow! I do worry that I'm sabotaging myself when i refuse to syn them!

Especially as i have a xmas party with friends tomorrow (expecting booze and nibbles!) And me and h2b anniversary on Monday (last time we'll be celebrating this one as after next year it moves to the wedding anniversary!!) so we are going to the cinema to see the latest hunger games and then for food afterwards (possibly Frankie and Bennys so not sw friendly!)

Need to get better!!

Thanks Jules, unfortunately I'm still pretty bad- barely slept last night and h2b had to come home from work to look after Reece as i can barely move. Definitely the flu rather than a cold

 

[jules1981]

Oh no hun lots of rest hun is the only thing I know to help-I know not easy with a little one! How old is Reece hun? My little one will be 3 in feb. I hope you are well enough to enjoy tomorrow night my lovely xxxx

Hopefully going to sleep okay tonight and that'll help shift this flu!

[jules1981]

Aw Fin is always under mine.

You are doing so well to stick to SW when you feel so poorly hun.

Your soup sounds nice xxxx

 

[freakydarkstuff]

Wish I could say I've stuck to SW today! Barely eaten and still feeling rubbish so just had what i fancied- quarter/ third of a homepride pasta bake and half a garlic bread baguette.

Havent eaten/drank anything else apart from some halls sweets (4syns for the whole pack of 10) to help with my nose, a handful of grapes, a skinny costa medium vanilla latte (2 pumps of syrup as usual), flavoured fizzy water and cups of tea.

Meant to have been going out tonight but had to cancel as i can barely stand without my head spinning and I'm coughing so much I've actually been sick once!

Bought some doritos and dip for the party so might nibble on them tonight.

 

[jules1981]

Sorry you are to poorly to go out. enjoy your doritioes xxxx

 

[freakydarkstuff]

WI today and scales are showing a whopping 5lb loss! Down to 12st exactly.

Thinking it's due to barely eating the last couple of days due to the flu though but happy considering we are going to the in-laws for xmas on Saturday so its probably going to be a few days off plan and indulging! Nice to leave with a big loss on the scales and confidence boosting because at least I know i can lose it.

Today has been a barely eaten day again. Just cant shake this flu!!! Going to cinema tomorrow and out for a meal with h2b- Ive already had to cancel two plans this weekend due to flu so i am not cancelling tomorrow's date day!
