You're doing better syn wise than me...need to get myself together!

 

[Jaffa Cake]

Well it's not showing on the scales as I'm 0.5lb up
I haven't put this much weight on in years on a holiday and it must be down to complete lack of exercise as I could only swim twice and we barely walked
I lost weight when we went to Rome and had a slight gain when we went to New York and I'm convinced I ate way more in both places

 

[ginlin]

Oh dear Jaffa, you do sound very dispondent about your holiday gain

Maybe lack of exercise didn't help, as your food didn't sound too bad at all, but unfortuneately we never know how much oil etc is used when eating away from home.

 

[janetelizabeth]

Yes eating away from home is always an unknown quantity...try not to stress Jaffa, I think you said before that you could always book a weeks holiday and take another week to get back down the scales? :bighug:

I am disappointed but I wouldn't have changed a thing bar pushing myself to use the hotel gym but I didn't feel well enough.

I had a great week with my mum and I don't regret any of my food choices maybe drunk more water instead of full fat sprite

Here are some plates of food

Breakfast savoury churros

2 x Dinner with the soya stuff

 

[janetelizabeth]

I know some of the foods were deep fried but you certainly didn't over eat with those portions.
You're right...your mum's birthday was a very special holiday and you were both there to enjoy yourselves. End of! :giveup:

 

[Jaffa Cake]

Unfortunately I went back for seconds most days which is why it didn't look like much to start off with - lol

[ginlin]

Food looked very good, Jaffa!

 

[janetelizabeth]

Did you sleep alright last night?

 

[Jaffa Cake]

They weren't thar big they were quite thin so definitely lunch not a huge dinner

Slept in and off but pain is getting more intense again so I'll see my dr on Thursday if I can get an appointment and admit I lied at clinic as I was going away to Tenerife and didn't want to invalidate my insurance

Can't remember if I said but I had a letter and I've still not had a clear smear so got to go back for my 4th one since December 2013.
They just can't seem to get enough cell samples to test
And this is the same specialist nurse I've been seeing for 20 years and there has never been this before so I might have to have another full biopsy to get samples

 

[janetelizabeth]

Yes sometimes a biopsy is the answer, it was for me when I had problems.
Hope you can get an appointment - they seem had to come by these days.

 

[ginlin]

Seems as if a biopsy will be the best solution Jaffa, and fingers crossed you can get an appointment.

 

[Jaffa Cake]

Yes I might phone the nurse next week and ask her if that's possible.

The pain and clinic I lied to is I assume my other health problems and not gynae related but who knows ?

 

[dsjb99]

Jaffa I hope you have the strength to phone for an appointment early this week, sure it won't be as bad as you think it could be. :grouphugg:

WE can all do it this week!

 

[Jaffa Cake]

I can't get to the actual Dr till Thursday but hopefully I should get an appointment
