Ding Dong the Enemy's dead!

"Except for the mouth and some parts of the nose, all of the airways have special hairs called cilia (SIL-e-ah) that are coated with sticky mucus. The cilia trap germs and other foreign particles that enter your airways when you breathe in air.
These fine hairs then sweep the particles up to the nose or mouth. From there, they’re swallowed, coughed, or sneezed out of the body. Nose hairs and mouth saliva also trap particles and germs."


I'm sure you already know this Mary but the tar and goo in fags clogs up the cilia keeping them stuck together and unable to do their job. It's SUCH a good sign when the cough comes. It means they are beginning to recover and are able to do their work properly ... well done you for getting there so quickly!!! xxx

I was really sick when I stopped smoking and have cold like symptoms for a week or so. Thanks for the explanation Jan now I know! But how gross!
Really impressed with your attitude Mary! Fab !

 

[kered]

Thank you both - I am actually more active, instead of just sitting around, waiting for time to nip out, I am getting on and doing things - and I think my concentration has improved

Hi sorry I was AWOL on my days off, but I was baby sitting my Grandson one day, and sorting out the flights the other days. As you have all heard probably that H4U / Aegean Flights went into liquidation, then splat went my flights for Oct 2011 - June 2012 - Sept 2012. Quick call to the credit card and they are sending me a form to claim back the money. On a successful note though, I have booked for Sept 25th this year for 15 days, and managed to wangle a 3 week holiday next May 25th, as it worked out cheaper than two weeks. Just the Sept one for next year to sort out now

Anyway, weighed this morning and I had a STS, still 11st 6lbs, and still celebrating the death of the enemy! Going really good.

I will try and remember my food, I had 2 good days and 2 bad days, but I have made a pact with myself, if ever my weight is above 11st 6lbs in the morning, I will have a day on the shakes! I have ranged between 11st 6lbs - 11st 4lbs on my days off.

First day off, I didnt eat much, Small bowl of Tuna pasta bake for lunch and cereal for supper.

2nd day off was
B - Bran Flakes, SS Milk.
L - Leftover tuna pasta bake.
D - I cant remember.
* 2 bags of cheese and onion crisps.
* 1 pear.

3rd day off.
B - Bran Flakes, SS Milk.
L - Cheese omelette.
* Few of Phills salted nuts.
* Bag of chilli doritos.
Naughty day but lots of vodka.

Yesterday.
B - Bran Flakes, SS Milk.
L - 2 bread rolls with egg.
D - Bowl of minced beef with 2 slices of bread.
* 1 crunchie
* 2 squares of Cadbury's caramel
* 2 slices of W/M bread with salmon and cucumber
(hangover munchies got to me)

Otherwise, all is well. Off to catch up on the threads now.

Glad you are still doing great with that enemy and pheeeewww about you being able to claim your flight money back off your credit card company.

So your off to Turkey for 3weeks in may?! v.jealous if so!! Lol

Good idea having that top weight in mind for your days off but all that chocolate is making me want it haha xx

 

[kered]

Got a feeling I will be on the shakes tomorrow - had another munchy day.

Brought to work,

Branflakes for breakfast, I ate these by 8am, then a grapefruit about 9:30. I then had my 2 slices of WM bread and ham with 3 cherry toms at 11am, and a pear.

Starving this afternoon, so one of the traffic officers was going to the chippy, I had chips and gravy - and absolutely delicious they were, thankfully it wasn't a huge portion though.

Not sure what to have at home tonight, might just have a meal replacement bar, but I will see how I am when I get home.

 

[JanD]

Glad you're still going well with the enemy! Good idea to give yourself the limit weight wise but don't be too hard on yourself at the same time!

I'd heard about the holiday company thing. Added to all his other troubles my son had a load of people to sort out when it happened (you may remember he's a travel agent) which was extremely difficult for him with no internet yet! However in your case - though you had all the hassle finding new flights etc you HAVE ended up with a three week hol next may ... can't be bad xx

 

[JanD]

Hey Missis!!! You haven't 'ticked' your first goal in your signature!!! xx

 

[kered]

Ooooh I forgot all about the goals - off to do it now - thank you.

 

[kered]

Yes, I am really pleased that we got a 3 weeker, Phill has always been on about going for longer..........will see how we enjoy it.

I know what you mean about not being too hard on myself, but I know if I start to gain loads of weight, thats when I get well peed off, and things can go tits up (excuse the expression).

 

[JanD]

That's better! xx

 

[JanD]

Well you'd better hope you enjoy it for 3 weeks as you're thinking about going to live there!! xx
