I lost 1lb, which I was really pleased with, as I really really expected to put on this week, so am now going to be super good this week, so I can lost a whole stone (at 13lbs at the moment!)
Positive thinking is definitely the way to go - I used to be quite a pessimistic person generally, but now feel much more upbeat about things!

Hey Lynica, it's unusual for me to have all this stuff on as usually working oops! Seriously though they were my rostered weekends off so all the stuff was pre planned.
I thought my back felt a bit better so stopped the pills to see how I get on but think I need to get back on them as still quite a bit of pain.
Physio yesterday says its a disc in my back affecting a nerve, she did loads of physical tests and says my left leg is very weak, it doesn't want to work, got loads of exercises to do but could take 9 months, which I don't mind if I know to expect that.
Work has now called though and said they will pay for me to see a specialist but no treatment just to see me so going there on Wednesday, hopefully the Doctor won't mind! I'm seeing him Wednesday as well!
Anyway enough of me, how was your weekend? X

No idea what to cook for dinner, just feel like I can't be bothered and have no inspiration! Perhaps when I get my car back later and get to Tesco then inspiration will jump off the shelf!
Breakfast: 2x wholemeal toast (HEB), 43g low low cheese spread (not quite a whole HEA!), baked beans
Lunch: spicy parsnip soup
Dinner: steak, potato wedges, peppercorn sauce (inc 56g sweet chilli Philadelphia 4.0)
banana and custard (7.0)
Snacks: 2x slice ham
4x crab sticks
Total syns: 11.0

Thanks for the mushroom and lentil load idea but don't think hubby will be too impressed lol.. Might have to save that idea for another day, normally I love cooking but feel like I just want to throw something in oven so might look at one of those simply cook meals.
I've got my fingers x'd for a great loss for you on Thursday.
I think all back pain must be bad regardless of whether it's muscular or what, thing is one thinks it's a labral tear in hip and one thinks its disc so still not 100% but did feel confident yesterday as she did so many tests. Heres to hoping we both get relief soon.. What do you think helps you're most? X

Been to see consultant at private hospital today, need to have MRI scans as so many things it could be and he needs to find out primary cause and see if the other things are compensatory (think thats the word!).
Still no car! Went to pick it up yesterday and it's gone wrong again.. Really could do without expense of a new car especially as its only 5 years old.
Wednesday 9th November
Breakfast: alpen light bar (1/2 HEB)
Lunch: spicy parsnip soup
1x wholemeal toast (1/2 HEB), 28g low low cheese spread (1/2 HEA)
Dinner: cheese & bacon topped chicken (Tesco simply cook 0.0 syns.. How? Wasn't very nice though), potato wedges, BBQ beans
Rice pudding (1/2 HEA), 1tbsp chocolate spread (4.0)
Snacks: 2x slice of ham
Total syns: 4.0
Seriously lacking fresh fruit and veg lately! Need to sort that out as not doing EE properly at the moment
