Thanks huni... good to see ya back on the boards... good luck with ya next WI xxx
Its My birthday today ..43 and nearly flab free...
Normaly i would have had a fat fry up at local cafe with my mate followed by shopping and lunch .. Then out to the pub in the evening for a good old piss up..
This year its been a nice lie in and a banana shake for my brekkie.. Im going to my mums this afternoon for a healthy lunch .Popping into see my sons after they have finished work..
Then i am going to my mate shazza's for a steak salad supper..
I wont be drinking and scoffing my face with cake like i normally do lol..
My mum has even bought me a set of really diddy dumb bells for my arms.. They are really light as my back and neck dont allow for any heavy weight workouts.. I was moaning about the tops of my arms and wanting to try and tone them a bit... so my dear old mum went and hunted down a set of 3 different weight DB's that are light enough for me to use without hurting myself YAY... one set is small enough to hold comfortably whilst i walk on my tread mill.. Im really chuffed with them..
The only poo thing i got through the post today was my MRI results for my cervical spine.. They are not brilliant.. Another significant disc protusion at 5/6 ...least i know i was not imagining the pain that had appeared in my neck since i fell over last year..
so many people raise their eyebrows when ya say ya have a bad back etc... they think ya lazy blah blah.. well i would swap by spine for a new one in a heartbeat and go back to throwing bales of hay about and riding horses like i used to lol.. xxx
Had a very yummy dinner last night so im gonna post yesterdays food intake after this whilst i remember xxx

Belated happy birthday hun, bad news about the MRI but now you know what is the cause and you must take it easy. Hope you manage to get the pain under control, I have my GP doing acupuncture at the mo seems to be working, don't know if you could give it a go?
thanks Ga ga my lower back as been operated on twice and it does hurt but its bearable..(due to some bad boy meds) . My neck was damaged in a fall last year and private MRI has picked up on some worrying stuff but its not gonna kill me and is treatable .. does mean more surgery but recovery prob be easier than when i had the lower discs done... Thanks for my birthday wishes darlin i had a lovely day xxxx

ive enjoyed giving it a polish pmsl
Happy birthday hunny x so sorry about the results
Aww thanks Dusty im so touched that you lot care enough about my poor ole back to post it on my thread... thank you..
Have told LMP she can have it back when she is back in the 12's
Happy birthday valentine! Sorry about the scan
Thanks Chaz i managed to be good... was a tad naughty last night but nothing major.. had no alcohol and just tiny bits of indian from other peoples dishes.. didnt order anything for myself .. nieces 30th birthday so had to go even tho9ugh it was in a indian.. i drove so that saved me from drinking phew.. had to go to witham from clacton so i had 2 coffees and a bottle of water..
Thanks Tubs.. ive had 2 discs sorted at the bottom with wallis devices and bone grafting .. think from the MRI i just got back that it will be spacers for the c5 c6 now as im too young to even think about fusion.. I know people that have had it done and its not good.. my consultant is brilliant and he sees me as a bit of a challenge due to my age so he dont wimp out and take short cuts.. will just have to see what will happen .. one thing is for sure is that something will have to be done as it impinging on the nerve roots and has caused a 50% narrowing already so its causing too much damage to be left :cry::cry:.. pain management isnt an option as there are neurological syptoms already.. it was my physio that picked up on it and pushed for the MRI . all due to a weakness in my left hand that i didnt know i had lol ..
Its more important than ever for me to stay on track diet wise now as i always stop smoking when i get an op date as i like being as fit as pos for anesthetic.. so i dont wanna put on a few pounds when i give up on an already fat bum lol..
Cant believe i actually smoke cos i have stopped twice for 6 months at a time with the last 2 surgerys ... its such a bummer when ya put on pounds that i start again grrr.. not this time though if i can get my weight down and my eating habits totally in check eh babe xxxx
Thanks again peeps for caring.. means alot..
love you all xxxxxxxx

I've got ME (CFS) and I also have chronic pain from it so I well understand how irritating it is when people dismiss things such as a bad back
But don't give her back that crown make her work for it
Well its monday and WI day and i have STS ... and im thrilled!!!! yes i would have liked to have lost weight .. we all want that but im looking at things in the long term this time round...
I have not felt hungry once this week and i have had my birthday celebration and also a 30th indian meal and a 16th birthday pizza hut meal all in the last 7 days .. I havent gained a single ounce and that to me is a huge achievement... 3 meals out and no gain !!! im really happy about that.. I feel like i have finally got my eating under control... This week i am going to try for a loss as i dont have any social stuff planned to have to worry about.. i actually thought i was gonna have a 2-3lb gain at todays WI as i did have carbs and fat at 2 of the meals.. but i did stick to not ordering any dishes for myself and just had a tiny bit of other peoples.. thats defo the way forward for me when i eat out in a group..
Maybe tomorrow the scales will actually show a loss seeing as it was the pizza hut meal last night..
The other Massive break through for me is that i have actually stayed off the scales for 7 whole days!!!! i never went near them all week since last weeks WI !!! i never mentioned it during the week as i thought it might jinx it.. I cant remember the last time i felt as happy about my eating habits as i do today...
Maybe.... Just Maybe i have beaten my dieting demons .. will find out over the next few weeks for sure ..
Hope everyone else is having a good week .
If ya TS then i hope ya firmly on the wagon!!! if ya have fallen off then dust yaself down and jump back on !! its a blip and ya gotta draw a big line under it and carry on..
If ya WS then leave them Carbs alone they are the devils food!!! lol
Happy monday everyone xxxxxxxx
