B: 2 eggs, 2 tbs spaghetti, 2 toast 2 coffee.

L: BNS/carrot soup a large portion. , 2 bananas

Had 2 walks to the cafe today, I went around lunch time and then neighbour called me at 2 and asked me to go with her. Hence the extra milk for coffee, 1 pot of T at lunchtime was enough for my tummy.

Hope you all had a good day. I am really tired so gonna sit in the chair with a coffee then have an early night. Will be in bed by 8.30.
Goodnight all.

AH. Your food speaks to you too, I thought maybe it was only mine.

Cloudy, it is kind of you to offer me your number, however at the Wednesday clinic we are so far down we don`t get a signal. I tried going outside once and got called and I wasn`t there. The trouble is they said on the letter probably 3 hrs. arghhh

I am going to take my sewing both days, not a lot of weight and if I can get a chair with arms I can do that too.

Going to have a quick coffee, as have done the washing and changed the bed, a job I hate until I get in the bed at night, then going to sort out what I need for my trek tomorrow.

Thanks for your support Ladies I know you will think of me - of course - who else could you think of.

Oh I wouldn't like being somewhere I couldnt' get a signal lol, I'm allergic to being without my phone hehe. Good idea about the sewing, that's something else that is good at taking your mind off things.
ooh I love clean sheets nights, I'd change my bed every day if I could be bothered with all that washing and ironing. I hope you remember everything and can fit it all in your bag.
Good luck with the travelling tomorrow, hopefully it will go smoothly and you'll be home before you know it.
Will certainly be thinking of you and wishing you well. Let us know when you're home safely xx
Ps. Dont' forget your snacks!

 

[cloudy6]

I am on plan today. We are good are we not.

I am also planning for lunch tomorrow. I am gonna have a WM roll (easier than a sarnie) with ham and pickle. A couple of bananas and 2 yogurts. I also gonna tuck in a Freddo and some sugar cubes. A small bottle of water too I suppose although with my bladder (tmi) not a lot.

Catch you later Linda. xx

Hmm, holds up hand to say, I wandered a bit off plan today, quite a bit off actually. No excuses, just busy and tired and it was too easy to give in to temptation. Will confess all on my diary.

Good luck for your hossie trip today Doreen. Not nice weather to be out and about

Well done Linda on your food restraint yesterday, you could easily have had more with your running around. Good luck with your SP day, will be interested to see what you have.
Ive started the day well, hope i can stick to it x

 

[Nanny Doreen]

Ended up day really bad yesterday. Confession later.

Am home from hospital. Left home at 10am amd back 14.20. Tests all ok. This was the short one. Got see on time at 12.15 and was done by 12.50ish.

I am absolutely cream crackered, bad sleep last night. In fact apart from an hour in the chair no sleep before 2am.

Wednesday is the 3hr one. Speak later.

Big coffee now, first drink of the day expect a couple of sips

 

[cloudy6]

Good to tests being ok andcthere and back relatively quickly. Not good to lack of sleep, no wonder youre cream krackered
Bet you enjoyed that coffee xx

 

[chocko1]

Glad to hear things went ok, Doreen. Sorry about your lack of sleep though. I regularly have a poor night's sleep so, when I'm not at work at the weekends, I take Night Nurse on a Friday and Saturday night, if I'm having a run of bad nights. Must admit, it's brilliant! Totally knocks me out! I've checked with the Doc that it's ok and he said, regular lack of sleep will do you more harm than taking Night Nurse twice a week. Obviously, anyone giving it a go would have to check it against other medicines they're taking but I'm on about 12 different types and the pharmacist said it was still fine to take it. Just a thought! Oh, yes - the lack of sleep isn't because I'm so used to taking it. I've been the same for years now. xx

 

[Nanny Doreen]

I did enjoy the coffee Cloudy.

Kathy, I used to take nytol and have in the past had night nurse too.
I get so tired, don`t know why, then fall asleep in chair around 7pm for say an hour and then cannot sleep.
Will fill you all in on the tests tomorrow. Very weird.

SUNDAY 11th Jan REVISED

B: 2 eggs, 2 tbs spaghetti, 2 toast 2 coffee.

L: BNS/carrot soup, 2 bananas

D: chicken thighs, roast spud and parsnip. Brussell tops, gravy
Fruitopolis yogurt (2syns) banana
Low fat yogurt 1.1/2 syns

4 rolls 24syns. pickle 2 syns

30 SYNS. + 2 for extra milk 32 syns.

Won`t get 5 weeks loss in a row now. Damn

IT REALLY CHANGED AFTER MY BINGE

MONDAY 12th Jan

Hospital - 2 wm rolls heb & 6 syns
ham & pickle (2 syns)

Chicken chasseur (2 syns) boiled rice.
1 freddo (5 syns)

15 SYNS

No excuses, what is is. I think while I am not going up to visit the kids I will take one of my Nytol tonight and try and get some good sleep. Could get some night nurse for another time, will have a word with my pharmacist tomorrow.

I am really tired now, have had a cat nap in the chair, but it is too early for bed so gonna watch some tele.

 

[cloudy6]

Hope you do get a decent amount of sleep Doreen. As another one that struggles to get even a half decent nights sleep more than once or twice a week I sympathise.
With regard to your going off plan yesterday, could you put any rolls that aren't on plan into the freezer, so you aren't tempted to eat them? Obviously that only works for bread and things that can be frozen but I know you've said before you struggle with bread in the house.
Anyway, you can only move on from here.... its done and you just have to carry on from tomorrow. Its not that bad, honest but I know it will have made you cross with yourself. xx

 

[bubble77]

Dont worry nanny you still have 3 full days b4 wi. There could still b a loss. Thinking of u. Sleeptight tonight. X

 

[Nanny Doreen]

I only bought them because I thought it would be easier for the hospital. I did put the other 4 in the freezer but it don`t take long to defrost them. It would help me if you could buy one or two soft rolls, but they are always in sixes. Anyway as you say it is done. I didn`t have a bad day today as I ate all the rolls last night. Not gonna buy anymore.
Time getting on so off to bed. Goodnight.

Morning ladies

 

[Nanny Doreen]

Morning to you too. Love the picture.

 

[Nanny Doreen]

I had eight hours in bed and didn`t wake all night. I would have stayed longer but my body is aching all over. I suppose some of it was the walking between stations and one particular part was a long walk from tube down to the hospital. Body magic.
The tests I had yesterday were nerve conductive tests where they send little electrical pulses through parts of your body. Some of it was a little painful but only lasted a second or two.
The other bit sounds awful but was ok. Long thin needles put into your muscle so they see the way it reacts on a screen. The doc did these in my legs, arms neck and back. It did not hurt but my muscles started to ache quite quickly.
Today - as I said my whole body aches especially upper arms neck and calves.
I have my other appointment and I am not sure whether to rest today and take pain killers or to move more to maybe ease the muscles. Any ideas?
The good thing is the condition they were looking for - which my sister has - I do not have. That I am extremely pleased about.

This is going to be another day on plan. I have 3 days to correct the rubbish I have had. I will resist syns like mad.
I have had 10 on plan days out of 12 this month but 2 dodgy days in one week. Not good.

Hope you all have a good day today. An on plan day of course.

Somebody gave me a reputation comment. Thank you whoever it was.

I don`t know how to do those.
