Constantly dizzy- back from the wilderness

[kirstabubble]

Well done Dizz! I think it is really fabulous that you went to Mexico and had that rather large gain, but didn't come back and think SOD it. You just kept going. Without sounding patronising, I'm well proud of you

So well done on the 2 stone shiny!

Sorry I've not been around much, I'm not keen on this having to do work thing!!

I don't dance for your WI's may I add, as my dancing is rubbish and so I don't want to ruin anything for you. However the kitties run around on your behalf

[pesty]

Awww huni that's really sweet!!! It works both ways, you're always there for us whenever we need you and were happy to return the favour!! xx

 

[constantlydizzy]

:cry:OOOOHHHH NOOOOOOOO


My OH has just had a courtesy call on his phone from our Dentist reminding me that I have an appointment at 3pm today
Remember when I looked like the elephant man from that tooth absess? well todays the day Im having the tooth out AND another filling oh no oh no oh no :faint2: :cry: why is the dentists sooooo scary
good job Ive not been eating DYNO ROD soup lately....Im sh!tting myself without it

 

[constantlydizzy]

Well I survived the Dentist

though I did have a vertigo Dizzy attack from being laid back in the chair which wasnt very pleasant, and had to be escorted out of the room by the dentist and the nurse holding me up

ANyway It was a bit sore last night when the numbness wore off.....but I felt more sorry for myself cos I couldnt eat anything chewy or have hot food or drinks (no choccy HIFI bar or Choccy options!! ) still....it saved me a few syns towards our couple of days away next week My OH Is feeling Tons better, he stayed off work all week, went back yesterday and took his tablets like a good boy.....he is normally pretty rubbish at remembering and doesnt complete courses when hes had them before he met me (then wonders why they dont work) so all being well we should be able to still take advantage of the mini break he won.

Today my mush feels fab (well as fab as a mush can do when a dentist has just had his hands in there and pulled a tooth ive had the best part of 40 years & drilled another -not too delicately either, I thought he was gonna get his knee on my chest at one point to stop my body rising up with each twist and tug! ) cant eat on that side though as its a bit sore but what can you expect


Anyway .........at class on thursday our consultant brought in a big tub of mash to try which was blooming luverly (and syn free

) she had mashed some spuds with ff fromage frais then sprinkled in some seasoning from a jar.
Now I just cant remember the exact name but it was like a swartchz jar and it was 'garlic & herb for mash' I reckon it would make a really tasty pizza base too instead of using smash

which I think is a bit yacky they also do a couple of others she said for meaty things.

I think Im going to try do a red day today again


B yog & Banana

Brunch/lunch omlette onion,tom,ham HEA cheese

T chicken, cauli,brocoli carrot&swede mash,HEB1 new pots 198g 2 syn gravy. yog

HEB 2? might try nuke a HIFI for a couple of seconds to make it softer and chew it on the other side

syns gravy 2 white choc option 2.5



gosh what a long waffling post ha ha

 

[constantlydizzy]

Well Im trying a red day today (I think my mush will cope now if i eat on the other side

) And I need to try get one of the OX burgers eaten (Capricorns recipe nomnomnom) before greedy guts My OH snaffles them all

Ive been chuckling away to myself as he hates gherkins......and hasnt noticed they are in there

AND says they are the bestest burgers he has ever had !! woooohoooo Ive struck gold with my cooking at last My OH Has felt lots better the last couple of days, he went into work on friday & hes gone to golf today.....leaving me in peace - AND it looks like we can still go on our little free hotel golf/pamper trip tomorrow

Ive been saving up some syns each day since WI on thurs (it did help a lot not being able to have any on friday with the tooth out

) and up to this morning I have 30.5 spare

so if I can save a few more today I have a few extra to go at from Monday to Wednesday ......sound like a plan????
One downside is that its *week due on tuesday and Im already feeling the bloat & the cravings starting, I just hope it arrives before WI day so I dont have a big massive gain from that

I can cope with a sts/gain from indulging in naughtiness on trips away, but *week gains are sooooo unfair dont you think?

oh the joys of being a woman eh

Il post my food menu later.

arty0019: Yay big congratulations arty0049n reaching your two stone shiney Dizzy. I had a little chuckle myself about your OH eating the gherkins, that's the kind of thing that would amuse me with my OH (small things eh?)

I hope you have a wonderful time on your trip away - just enjoy it x

 

[constantlydizzy]

Thanks Red been chasing that little sod for ages now lol.

Yup its always the tiny things that please tiny minds so the saying goes

But in My case whenever it involves getting one over on the OH its sure to produce a few smug grins here & there

 

[MrsBabyCakes]

Well done honey!

 

[TwinkleToes2day]

Hi Everyone :wavey:

Quite new here to SW and totally new to this forum; the title attracted me
Could anyone please tell me how I add awards (shiny?) to my profile/signature? I got a 3lb award and don't know how to 'show it off'

Thanks

 

[constantlydizzy]

Well I got back last night from out little jaunt to the freebie golf/spa hotel break that My OH won at golf......and it was luverrrly

we went with his golf buddy & his wife so while they golfed we made the most of the different treatments, facial, manicure,hot stone massage, general lazing about in the sauna & pool area

oh I did a little walk around the grounds as the weather was sooooo beautiful for a change. I'l skip the fine details of what we ate it wasnt really that bad (but a little pastry was involved, and a croissant may have mugged me at breakfast too

)......lets just say its a good job I had 43 syns saved up to the morning before we went - as we shared 2 bottles of wine between us each evening meal

BUT no puddings touched my lips

(1 baileys coffee did though )

Anyhooo Its WI tonight..... and No sign of the *week fairy that should have been here on tuesday

so Im not expecting anything great from the scales......but hey ho at least I know some of it is fluid retention so I can live with that I suppose.

Good luck to all the other Thursday Weighers

Im dancing along myself today....I need the extra body magic

 

[Monkey_Monkey_Underpants]

My namby pamby southern pompoms are doing their best, Dizz, despite the tiredness of the arms that are waving them.

I'm dancing to the best of my swim-knackered ability!

 

[kirstabubble]

Well done dizz. That sounds like an achievement in itself so I hope the scales reward you in some shape or form

I've put more kitty pics up, for you, in my diary

xxx

 

[pesty]

Welcome back CD!!!!! Dancing has commenced!! xx

 

[constantlydizzy]

sorry for the late update.....Had my usual mega pre *week migraine so just went to WI and straight to bed last night

anyway Im happy to report a sts I was expecting a gain (even with turning down the puds while we were away...I still was a naughty off plan Dizzy with some of the other stuff ) so maybe saving up some of the syns before hand was a good move

Back on plan again today but feel a bit washed out and still all bloaty & craving sweet things something terrible.....I just wish *week would hurry up and make an appearance as Im getting terribly grumpy with it too - Im normally like clockwork with my timing, Im thinking maybe as this is my 2nd one since taking the northesterone for the mexico trip that its messed my cycle up a bit maybe??

Ive got to really be uber good with my syns again as were out on a big family meal on Saturday to mark the Anniversary of my OH's Dads Birthday, and its one of my favourite Restraunts so choosing anything NOT synful will be really hard :sigh: I do try my best...I turn down the starter (even the the rest of the family look at me like I'm stooopid ) and make a real effort to not look at the pudding board.......but - this is where I just cave in normally :cry:especially when everyone else has had all 3 courses! (big foodies in his family....and they seem to pick all the absurd specials too)

soooooo Im on minimal syns now, I only used 3 syn yesterday ( choc options & xtra light mayo) and I will try today & tomorrow to do the same so I have some in reserve for the Pudding attack sound like A plan?????

 

[pesty]

Hello poppet!!

well done for the STS huni!!! I could have done with that!! Everyone on minis seems to have had a gain this week so extra well dones to you!!

I would say aim for 5 syns a day as it is the minimum recommended by SW, otherwise i think it is a great idea to get some syns under your belt so you can fully enjoy your meals, etc!

xxx

 

[constantlydizzy]

Thanks for the syns info pesty (it means I can have an extra choc option without feeling too naughty now lol)

I wonder whats going on with all the gains on minis huh?? I reckon the damn food fairies are out in force to sabbotage us all Best keep my eye out for em this weekend then x x

 

[constantlydizzy]

Good morning Lovelies

Well Its a bit flipping gloomy here compared to the lovely sunshine weve had all week

and its definately a fair bit colder too.
Hope you're all planning a good weekend regardless of the weather

Well Im on an EE day today.....actually it will be EE up to 6 ish then Gawd only knows what sort of day it will be as we are out for the meal

Im doing a flexi evening.....but Ive saved up a few syns since Thursday as I just know that today I cannot/will not

be able to refuse a pudding as I am in FULL ON PMT MODE (yes its finally made an appearance ) and liable to explode/implode if I don't indulge at my all time favourite resteraunt (i'm sure my fellow pmt sufferers will fully understand where im coming from

)

Anyway.....Ive got a punnet of strawbs to eat today, a pineapple all chopped up in the fridge, lots of speedy foods ready for getting straight back on the tank wagon 1st thing in the morning.....so my plan for today is........


B Porrige HEB HEA milk (half for teas) strawbs

snack strawbs mandarins

L tuna

lettuce cucumber tom onion activia

snack strawbs


Meal.
tipsy chicken ( pan fried in brandy/cream/mushroom sauce, & garlic potatoes) seasonal veg
PUDDING arty0049:
either hot fudge cake & cream OR one of the 'old school puds' from the specials board depending what it is (if its jam roly poly & custard - I'm in there !!!!!

Im allowing 1 glass of red wine with the meal, but drinking soft drinks/water so that will save me a few syns (see I am trying lol

)

so thats My HEB & HEA plus a gazillion syns

thank goodness for flexi days eh

 

[constantlydizzy]

Forgive me for I have synned.....and BOY HAVE I SYNNED !!!!

Well Im reporting in with my naughtiness from last night

They've only gone and changed some of the menu at my favourite Restaurant

....... so I was faced with a bit of a dilemma.

I ended up having a starter which I hadnt planned on

oven baked giant garlic mushroom with bacon & Brie (it had no buttery stuff in it) and was very nice.

My usual Pan fried Tipsy chicken was still on the menu, so I stuck with that.

Then the pudding menu came (no flipping 'old school' jam roly poly

) it was sticky toffee this week

BUT they had added a couple of new ones so I chose "the Grouse INN Mess" like Eton mess but from a little old rustic Inn in the middle of nowhere on the moors in Yorkshire

a mix of thick cream, meringue,berries and a drizzle of raspberry liqueur running through it served in a huge sundae glass
OMG I thought I'd died and gone to heaven

I had a half glass of red wine (and 1 vodka & slimline tonic)


Soooooooooo today my stomach feels mahoooooosive, It was absolutely lovely but Im suffering for it today

Lots and lots of fruit & water today......and very Probably a big batch of Dyno Rod soup this week I'm betting as I reckon the rich food will play havoc with my system IYKWIM (TMI??)

Im thinking a couple of Red days with a bit of fish (barf) as well to try undo some of the damage.......but gawd it was good!!!

 

[Monkey_Monkey_Underpants]

Hey, you enjoyed it, Dizz. That's the main thing.
You went out and had a lovely meal with your family.
And you chose what you wanted to eat.
And you'll remember it as a good night.
So - if that's left you a pound to have to lose all over again, how big a deal is that, really?
It would have been far worse, in the grand scheme of things, to have a rubbish night out, and blame SW for it.

You go, girl! I'll fling my namby pamby southern ones for you for as long as a can, and as hard as I can (swimming knackeritude permitting), and you'll be back on track in no time!

 

[constantlydizzy]

Awww thanks Jimbob

Yup...like you say, on the scale of things If I get a gain then It will have been worth it Its not often we can get the entire family together (including the grandchildren) for what would have been Jims Birthday....and it was the last thing he said that he wanted us all to still get together every year to remember him (he used to take us all out for his Birthday & for his wifes)

I was super dooper good yesterday (I dont think my stomach had emptied from the night before ) I ate mainly fruit during the day and lots of water. Then had an OX burger (courtesy of Capricorns recipe) with some salad & a HEB wm roll for tea, a choccy HIFI bar to sort the *week cravings and a white choc option - so I just used 2 syns to make up for the blowout of the night before

Todays menu ...(Bit odd as Ive slept most of the day?? took some painkillers which knocked me for 6) Anyway its a RED day

B oatso golden syrup HEB+1.5 syn 1/2 HEA milk 1/2 HEA milk for teas

L missed this

T OX burger (really need to give my OH a kicking as he is driving me nuts wanting these every flipping night now ) HEB wm roll salad activia yog strawbs?

Syns white choc option 2 alpen light 3
