NannyDoreen & Upndown's daily diaries

[Nanny Doreen]

Well what a great day Friday. All those lovely cakes and things. Had to pick my son up from Royston, about 30 miles, then took him to the pub to meet some friends.

On the way home from the pub I talked myself into fish & chips. First for such a long time and really enjoyed it with a big gherkin and tomato sauce. Followed 3 hrs later by three toast and the last of my LF cheese. Picked son up at 1am Sat morning. Bed at 3am. I woke up at 6am hungry - that is because I had eaten sooo much.

Have to take son back to Royston somepoint today so not sure about lunch

You're on a roll Doreen, your food is looking perfect. Beans and egg on toast is one of my all time favourite meals, it used to be my hangover cure
I'm having a quiet day today cos Rob is out, I'm planning on going to M&S later on if I manage to motivate myself.

[Clapper&Ham]

That's excellent news about your brother, it's the best thing he could do.
Do you think he'll stick to it?

Do you think he'll stick to it?

Well, He was going with his DIL but they talked about it last night and decided to do it themselves. He can check anything he does not know on my SW website. As they have both been cutting back on what they have been eating since he came out of hospital and have both lost weight, I do understand their thinking. He went shopping with Tash this morning with his old books, tho he does know a log about SW) and stocked up.

Albert bought some new scales 2 weeks ago for about £230. the part that shows you your weight is on a lead like the SW ones and easier for him to use.

He has to go back to the hospital for checks and they need him to lose some so he can have , Hopefully , bariatric surgery.

It would be so nice if he can get enough off to avoid that. Hospital do not think he will. That is a challenge in itself. Anyway I wish them lots of success.

What do you think Mandy?

[Clapper&Ham]

I'm really not sure, it depends on how determined he is. A lot of people recommend going to a group, and if you find the right one I'm sure it helps, that said it did nothing for me but my consultant wasn't really interested in anyone but her favourites! When my six weeks ran out and I didn't go to group all she did was stop my website access, no text call or anything. Would he be going to the same group as you? I know you like your consultant. He must be determined to have made an investment like that on the scales (ouch!) Maybe he'll be motivated by how much weight he's already lost, he must be feeling so much better for it?

Sorry to hear your finger is still playing up. Are you doing the exercises?

 

[Nanny Doreen]

I am doing the exercises - most of the time. I do use it continually.

As for my brother, he lives now about 15 miles from me. The class he was going to go to was less than 5 mins away.
He always buys expensive scales otherwise they don`t weigh high enough. They only last him about 18mnths.
I am sorry he is not going to class, but I do think DIL will keep an eye as she does all the meals. However who knows what he is doing when he is out on his own. (sounds like I`m talking about a child).

DIL says that he must weigh in front of her and he says yes. I have been there in the past with him and it worked until one week he said he had already done his weigh in so I did not see him weigh. As he is living with the family now hopefully that won`t happen again.

No I woke up early in hours and ate. Don`t think, or rather I know, can`t repair the damage by Friday. Gonna have a coffee and water day. Might go to the town later and have a look around. Don`t know.Perhaps a good way to get some more exercise in. Trying not to be angry with myself, I knew what I was doing, Two bad days this week. OMG

 

[Clapper&Ham]

Right my girl!
I could be nice and say we all have days like that, and I know when I get a cheese urge NOTHING keeps me out of the fridge...

HOWEVER....

There is a nice red line for you.
Get a grip, you're supposed to be a role model for your brother, and you've done brilliantly in the past, so get back at it my girl and lets not see another gain this month.
You have a goal to be in the 14's by Christmas, and it's still do-able if you get back on that wagon

 

[Nanny Doreen]

Thanks Mandy, just what I need. :cry:

Pleased you had a nice day x

 

[Nanny Doreen]

Got up this morning feeling dizzy and nauseous. Had to keep my head straight and looking forward. It could be the tablets I am taking or maybe the spondylosis I have in my neck. Sat still for about an hour or so watching tv then it went off a bit. Cooked breakfast and took pills. I am not dizzy anymore but my head don`t really feel right. I do have reactions to lots of medication so it could be the tablets. I will continue today and see how it goes.

[Clapper&Ham]

That doesn't sound good at all. Can you have an easy day today?
It probably is the tablets you've started for your finger.
Hope you feel better soon x
