Linda's JUDDD Diary...

[Greeneyes11]

My daughters took me to Costa after my blood test so had a medium soya latte. 113 calories. Went and bought some clothes. Bought a jumper in a size 16 but not sure if it is slightly big or not. Could be a problem as I ordered some new Joe Brown clothes in a 16 and they should turn up this afternoon.

Have also had a Dylan gelatte for lunch with raspberries and fat free Greek yoghurt as I felt sick. Maybe not so good to total fast after blood test as they took about 5 tubes.

5 tubes?! Jebus mary and the holy goat, do you have any blood left?! I hate blood tests because without fail i will pass out. Not scared or anything, my body just seems to dislike it! When i used to give blood (am not allowed atm) they knew me quite well and they used to make a joke about me conking out!

I am so hungry , i smell danger come 5pm!!

Had a busy weekend, went to Thorpe Park on Saturday and had Burger and Lattice chips as that is what everyone wanted, also DH does not like sugar free soft drinks so we keep filling up our cup all day with full sugar drinks, I try to limit myself but dont want to de-hydrate..... did fill up on a pint of beer with my lunch tho. Had 2 doughnuts each also before leaving park, but although I had normal cereal and milk breakfast, I didn't have any tea, so limited my calories slightly that way. Sunday, my mum took us out for her 70th birthday. We had drinks and nibbles before we went, so I had already had my normal cereal and milk breakfast, 2 slices of swiss roll in church, and then macadamia nuts, olives, sundried tomatoes and mushrooms, plus 2 small glasses of wine before dinner. Steak Pie and mash for dinner (big portion) and then Lemon Meringue Roulade with cream for dessert.... I was so totally stuffed.... not forgetting the 2 glasses of wine with dinner and a latte afterwards. So a very UP UP AND AWAY DAY on Sunday.... today is down day....

Saturday 184lb (Official WI day) lost 0.6lb
Sunday 185.4lb (Post UP day +1.4lb) +1.4lb
Monday 187.8lb (post UP day +2.4lb) +3.8lb

Not at all surprised by the gain though, and today is a DD, tomorrow is an UP but I will be careful with what I eat and try to keep my calories below 1600. Then alternate days until the end of the week.

A NSV, I bought a Next top last year in the sale and it was slightly tight around my tummy, I thought I would lose weight, but was then ill and managed to put on the 2 stone in a month, so it has never gone anywhere near me since. Last week it was tight, but this week it fits fine, so really pleased with that.... woohoo!! Strange that it fits as I only lost 0.6lb on the scales.

Have felt pretty rotten today but on an up note I have got my gallstone ultrasound next Tuesday. I have to fast for 5 hours before so guess it will be from Monday night which is a DD so may do a double DD next Monday/Tuesday although the pain gets worse when I don't eat.

So because I am feeling down I treated myself to 4 new Joe Browns tops. 2 in a 16 which fit easily at the moment and 2 in a size 14. They can keep the 2 I bought last week company. Lol.

Poor LL :-(

Put those big knickers on and get well soon missus xxx

Got the results of my blood tests back today, I have high cholesterol.... 7.1... How is that because I have had several blood tests (read about 6) already this year and none of them flagged up high cholesterol, which points back I think to lack of bile if you take into account my upset tummy etc. So scan next week....

Weight wise, not doing too badly.

Saturday 184lb (Official WI day) lost 0.6lb
Sunday 185.4lb (Post UP day +1.4lb) +1.4lb
Monday 187.8lb (post UP day +2.4lb) +3.8lb
Tuesday 186.8lb (post DD day -1lb) +2.8lb
Wednesday 185.8lb (post UD -1lb) +1.8lb

So can I sneak in a loss this week.... who knows..

 

[Caroline_Louise]

I won't pretend i know anything about cholesterol (or bile for that matter, but sounds a bit ick!) but glad you are having scans etc and will hopefully be getting sorted soon. Looks like some good results ur getting there too, I reckon a little loss is on the cards.
Keep going LL, ur doing a smashing job :-D xx

 

[Greeneyes11]

Went to Doctors this morning, he wasn't too bothered by my high cholesterol coz I dont smoke and I am having the scan on Tuesday, might do something in the future, depending on what the scans show on Tuesday. Had an unexpected visitor this morning, Auntie Flo has arrived and a full week early too, which totally screws up my trip to Alton Towers in 4 weeks time..... grrrr!! Wonder why not only did my chest hurt this morning but my tummy too.... ho hum!!

Weight wise doing okay...

Saturday 184lb (Official WI day) lost 0.6lb
Sunday 185.4lb (Post UP day +1.4lb) +1.4lb
Monday 187.8lb (post UP day +2.4lb) +3.8lb
Tuesday 186.8lb (post DD day -1lb) +2.8lb
Wednesday 185.8lb (post UD -1lb) +1.8lb
Thursday 183.8lb (post DD -2lb) -0.2lb

UD today, but I have pulled back my UP days and they are quite controlled now, still enjoying eating though, then DD tomorrow. So fingers crossed for a loss on Saturday despite Auntie Flo.... lol

Good old auntie flo lol xx

[bajoleth]

Looking good for a loss despite Auntie Flos unscheduled visit grrr xx

 

[Greeneyes11]

Felt pretty rotten all day yesterday despite eating healthily.... felt better after dinner though, and thought that if I was going to feel rough anyway, I might as well eat a bit of toblerone, so I did... lol (didn't make me feel worse so that was good).

DD today, didn't sleep well last night and when I did I had a disaster movie type dream, so had the start of a migraine due to lack of sleep this morning and dosed myself up with painkillers.... tummy hurting, head hurting and I am hungry. Definately a feel sorry for myself type of day... lol Now what to eat for lunch shortly.

Saturday 184lb (Official WI day) lost 0.6lb
Sunday 185.4lb (Post UP day +1.4lb) +1.4lb
Monday 187.8lb (post UP day +2.4lb) +3.8lb
Tuesday 186.8lb (post DD day -1lb) +2.8lb
Wednesday 185.8lb (post UD -1lb) +1.8lb
Thursday 183.8lb (post DD -2lb) -0.2lb
Friday 184lb (post UD +0.2lb ) 0

Guessing Auntie Flo is gonna ruin my weight loss this week, seeing as I had under 1600 calories yesterday, I dont normally gain. Fingers crossed for tomorrow.

 

[Greeneyes11]

So I did finally lose, but only 0.8lb, am shrinking though. Have had loads of problems with the pain since the last major attack, fingers crossed it is gallstones and they will see that on the scan tomorrow, otherwise it will be a round of more tests I suppose.

Went to a food and drink fayre on Saturday (good job it was an UP day) we had loads of samples and ended up buying 2 lots of sausages, sweet chilli dipping sauce, lemon curd, cupcakes, seasalt, rosemary and olive oil bread all homemade, and we tasted tons more than that too..... gorgeous cupcakes too....

So WI.

Saturday 184lb (Official WI day) lost 0.6lb
Sunday 185.4lb (Post UP day +1.4lb) +1.4lb
Monday 187.8lb (post UP day +2.4lb) +3.8lb
Tuesday 186.8lb (post DD day -1lb) +2.8lb
Wednesday 185.8lb (post UD -1lb) +1.8lb
Thursday 183.8lb (post DD -2lb) -0.2lb
Friday 184lb (post UD +0.2lb ) 0
Saturday 183.2lb (post DD -0.8lb)

And because I am lazy and haven't posted since Friday, here are the next few days WIs too...

Sunday 184.8lb (post UD +1.6lb) +1.6lb
Monday 184.8lb (post UD +0) +1.6lb

I am going to do 2 lots of DD this week, last week I did alternate with 2 UPs at the weekend. I am now 13 stone 1.2lb and want to get into the 12s next week. I have to fast tomorrow for my scan, so will be lunchtime before I get home. I intend to just have my SnS on my DDs this week and see if the lower carbs make any difference to my WI.

Tomorrow is my grandson's 4th birthday and I have just spent the morning machine embroidering Scooby Doo onto a bath sheet for him with his name too as that is what he wants. He doesn't know I am also going to do a t-shirt transfer of SD onto a t-shirt for him. Unfortunately after sorting out a picture and editing it I shut my computer down and lost it... ha ha. So back to the drawing board on that.

Have a great day girls, whatever you are doing today.

 

[Caroline_Louise]

A loss is a loss m'dear so well done, ur getting there!
Aw ur bday prezzie for ur grandson sounds ace, i love scooby doo still, such a child!
Be interested to hear about ur scan linda, fingers crossed for u. Amongst other things discussed with doctor, she guessed i may have gall stones too (how much does it hurt when they bash u on the tum!?) I am trying my darndest at my new plan for 2 weeks and we'll see if it helps my symptoms. Like u i had a real 'attack' of chest pain and breathlessness amongst other stuff.

My head feels better anyway, more sorted and screwed on the right way to do this properly!

Good luck this week lovely xxx

 

[Greeneyes11]

So was pleasantly surprised this morning, I weighed myself and I was in the 12 stones, only just mind and it wont count until Saturday either, but I was so thrilled that I decided to turn todays UP day into a definate DD (which is what I planned but changed my mind last night when I was hungry) as I dont want to see 13's on scale tomorrow..... how sad is that... lol.

Now I am thinking that the huge weight loss on my DD is down to only eating Slim and Save products, so 2 shakes and a chilli with veg for dinner plus a coffee after that and that was all, and around 450 calories too.... but I am guessing it is the low carbs that has done it. So today, much the same, but I cannot start shakes until lunch time due to my scan at 11.15 and having to starve before that.

Saturday 183.2lb (post DD -0.8lb)
Sunday 184.8lb (post UD +1.6lb) +1.6lb
Monday 184.8lb (post UD +0) +1.6lb
Tuesday 181.8lb (post DD - 3lb) -1.4lb

Very very pleased with that.

 

[Caroline_Louise]

Woop de woop! Gooooo team linda :-D

I don't think its sad at all, its great that you have spurred yourself on for a DD, thats mega progress right there.
Let me know how scan goes, thinking of u xxx

 

[Greeneyes11]

So I have had my scan and been told I have several small gallstones and cysts on my liver (which she said was quite normal)..... she also told me to book an appointment with my Doctor for a weeks time, but doctors appointments are as rare as rocking horse poo, so haven't been able to make one, have to ring back on Monday when they may release more.... ho hum.

Have been in pain now for 2 weeks, but haven't seen the doctor about the pain as I always seem to suffer in silence, so they will probably think they aren't causing me any problems and wont do anything..... we shall see!!

 

[Caroline_Louise]

Glad to hear u have a diagnosis LL, that must be a relief. Been doing some reading on gallstones myself as been told i could poss have them. On a website i was on they see to be b insistent with ur GP re appointments and procedures etc as they tend to brush this sort of thing under the carpet. So don't let them fob u off love xx

 

[bajoleth]

Glad they have given you a diagnosis and even better news on those numbers they are looking good xxx

 

[Paulinegin]

Keep phoning the doctor's Linda and get yourself sorted, love. Doctors' appointment systems are, at best, bizarre and, at worst, dangerous
