my weird ramblings

[sumayyah]

well i set off to take some cakes to a friend and after not long after i got in the car to set off for the peaks a migraine hit. made it to the house before being sick. tried to have a shake as i knew my blood sugar was low and contributing to it but got half way thru before being sick
went to bed and then everyone decides they want to talk to me. HIM called but i couldnt speak, dont think my texts helped any as he still kept saying he just wanted to hear my voice. had to turn my phone off after the 4th person tried to get thru, had 10 texts and 3 missed calls when i turned it back on. will get round to responding to them eventually

still feeling dodgy but hey at least it kept me on a 100% day, silver linings and all

Hi Claire,

I am so sorry. It isn't often you have an opportunity to go off and be you (not mum) and then you're unwell. What do you think trigger the migrane? I hope you feel better today.

I am sure "him" will understand, as will everyone else.

was my blood sugar mel. i have a metabolic syndrome linked to my pcos and thats what happens when my blood sugar levels drop, ive blacked out a couple times on cambridge when its dropped.
i should of had more water and a shake before heading out

today the scales are showing 17st 5lb, happy days
am weighing everyday to keep me focused, i had got to the point where i was letting things slide in the hope that it wouldnt show at my next weigh in, really it was rediculous so im hoping that by forcing myself to see the numbers everyday i wont be letting it slide as i can see immidiatly that it certainly has had an effect

 

[MinnieMel]

Hi Claire,

I am glad that you did not pass out whilst driving.
Yay on the weight drop!!! When do you weigh in again?

MM

 

[sumayyah]

my official weigh in is next wednesday, am sure my cdc is dreading it already, lol

 

[MinnieMel]

Hi Claire --

Why would she dread it? If you still have weight to go... then it is good for her business. And, I am sure you are as lovely in person and you are in cyberspace.

MM

 

[sumayyah]

because i keep losing and gaining the same 2 stones

today was a good day thou, 100% day with a good amount of water, will see what the scales are telling me in the morning

 

[MinnieMel]

Fingers crossed for you. MM

another 1lb down today bringing me to 17st 4lb, getting there

still have madam at home as its a teacher training day today so she has another movie to watch and craft to do. if the sun keeps it up a trip to the park is in order too

 

[MinnieMel]

Hi Claire,

Congrats on the pound off! Whooha!

I am one pound down on my CDC's scales, too. So, I am now at my 2010 lowest weight. Onward (or should I say downward) to my 2008 lowest weight. -- Then maintenance... the horror (here is where I failed so miserably the last time around).

We had a little sun here, for a short time -- but it is gray again. *sigh*

MM

 

[MinnieMel]

Morning Claire,

I hope that Madam has a good day back at school. What are your big plans for the day?

MM

 

[sumayyah]

congratulations mel on your weigh in! wow youve just 10lb to go now!

another 1lb down today bringing me to 17st 3lb
been out in the sun today with a friend trawling round baking shops, think ive gotten everything i need for the cake, shall be baking it tomorrow then icing and decorating it thursday ready for the party

having a bit of a problem at the mo, keep getting waves of nausea

 

[MinnieMel]

Hi Claire,

Is the nausea normal for you on CD? I hope you've not caught some norovirus or something. Yuck.

Sounds as if you have everything set for the cake production. I have two to bake later this week (plus some cupcakes).

I hope you feel better soon.

MM

the party was thursday evening and yes i had a peice of that cake. totm then started and today the scales are showing 17st 13lb! a friggin gain of 13lb for a slice of cake. nose to the grindstone now, getting that water down me and hoping to god that the number comes down significantly before next wednesday

Grr, not fair is it? Sounds like you can carry a load of water around with you when you're not in ketosis. My CDC is always amazed by how many pounds I can pile on when I have a couple of days off the wagon. I think she must think I'm a right pig - but I really don't have to eat much - and boing! - the scales fly up 9 or 10 pounds. Grrr.

Keep glugging the water, hun. Hope you have a great day :hug99:

 

[MinnieMel]

Hi Claire,

Lily is probably right -- and it is water. As you drink yours it'll flow away.

I hope you and madam have a good weeekend.

ive just learnt to bake. kinda. still making mistakes! can someone tell me why my flapjacks are either like rocks or crumble and dont set cos they are wet??? sorry to go off topic but me and said flapjacks have been in battle for nearly 4 weeks now. its gotten so bad that kids and hubby have said they never want to see another flapjack again and i cant keep making the disasterous ones into granola!!!

 

[MinnieMel]

@Leeds --

I wish I could help, but I have never made flapjacks. In the US flapjacks is another name for pancakes! The closet thing i made is Ricecrispy treats.

more syrup leeds?

well todays been a suckfest. woke up to no electricity. great. gave it till lunch time but when it didnt come back on i called the leccy folks, lucky for us madam has our house classed as priority so i got dtraight thru to be told that the power cut was solved by 9.40 am. since were priority they sent an engineer round, who called out a team and dug a massive hole in the pavement! theyve just finished patching us to the leccy network but will have to come back at a later date, extend the massive hole ( sorry neighbours ) and repair the cables. am sure the neighbours dont mind too much, they reported faults throughout the morning but could only get thru to the automated line, so if it wasnt for madam being here they wouldnt have done anything till next week

this evening i went to return dvds to blockbusters which is in a very complicated road system of one ways, no turns etc. i got lost, driving round trying to find the way out, spotted a familiar road so made the turn, didnt notice the straight ahead arrow and wouldnt ya know it theres a cop car 2 cars behind me. pulled over, shut in the back of thier car and a fixed penalty fine. had to be helped back out since it was a 4x4 and im too short to get out properly
