Well, today didn't go very well.
Woke up feeling much less snotty but my the time I got to work I had a splitting headache and nausea. I couldn't focus on anything and ended up being sick a couple of times. Came home at lunchtime and have been feeling sorry for myself for the rest of the day...
Tuesday - green
Lunch - cup-a-pasta, fibre plus bar (HexB)
Snack - toast (HexB) with peanut butter (4 syns)
Dinner - very small portion of pasta with quorn bolognese and grated parmesan (HexA)
Crusty white bake-in-the-oven baguette with low fat spread (gazillion syns...)
Don't know why I caved to that bread, grrr. Still off the exercise and don't think there'll be any loss on the scales this week.
Feel like poo, got a really foggy head and not looking forward to work tomorrow at all...

Try and try again
Oh no sounds horrible, and just after you thought you were getting better. I'm sure it's too late to say this now but you're probably much better off resting up than struggling into work - rest will make it shift quicker.
Sounds like it could have been a nasty migraine yesterday, although I've never had one so couldn't really say, but I'm sure I've heard of people being quite sick with them.
Big hugs and get well soon xx

Well I haven't made it into work this morning. Felt OK (groggy, but that's generally how I feel on a morning!) until I got out of bed and then felt horrible and dizzy and headachy again. Really didn't fancy driving and definitely didn't want to feel as rubbish as I did in the office yesterday not being able to focus on the computer screen...
I have had a telephone doctor's appointment and he reckoned it is my sinuses that are blocked which is why I have a pressurey headache and cos it's linked to your ears means you can feel a bit off-balance and nauseous. Just going to try and stay pretty much horizontal all day and avoid doing much. Although it's VERY boring not being able to do much!!
I really am a rubbish sick person - it could be a lot worse than a bad cold so I haven't got too much to whinge about really

Oh dear, sinus infections are evil! A sinus infection is the reason I've been on those silly antibiotics for weeks Do you have any lemons in? Hot water with lemon and honey might help, or maybe lemon and ginger tea if you have some. Maybe a steam inhalation with eucalyptus oil if you have any, that's what my doctor recommended. Hope you feel better soon! xx

Nearly fainted in the shower this morning, so really did not want to drive! Am therefore at home for the day again, and am waiting to go to doc's appointment later. Grrr, I feel fine when I'm not stood up, so it really is frustrating! It's so boring doing nothing Makes me very glad I have a job.
Will no doubt be all over Minimins for the rest of the day then!!

Ear infection! Got some anti-b's so hopefully I'll be right as rain in no time. Feels like I've been off work for AAAAAGES, not just 2 days. Also took Oddsock's advice and have had a couple of steam inhalations with a drop or two of eucalyptus which has certainly been releasing some snot!
I've read the new SW magazine today - I wish it came out every month as I find it's an extra little boost to keep me inspired and to give some recipe ideas. Only found a few things I want to try this time: lentil shepherd's pie, carrot, mexican bake, coriander and butterbean burgers, mini meringues...mmmm

STS this week, which I am pleased with considering I have been over my syn limit every single day and have also done NO excercise at all.
I must get my bum in gear though if I'm to get another 10lb off in 12 weeks for my holiday...Eek.
Still not feeling 100% but am going to restart the shred tonight and see how I feel before deciding whether to hit the gym or not. Going to get my syns back in control this week too and aim for 1lb off
