Right a daily nag is free of charge from me if that's what it takes - in turn u can nag me on the challenge - think I'll find it much tougher this time :eek:as I've really been upndown for about a month now!!

I only really looked at it a few days ago. Had seen before but did not not know what it was either.
 
Breakfast was lots of chopped fresh fruit topped with a mullerlight vanilla yogurt and green tea.
Lunch was wholemeal bread (Hex B) with ham and lots of salad, with philly extra light (part of Hex A - the rest skimmed milk in my tea)
Banana and a satsuma as a snack
Dinner will be prawn and chilli spaghetti (recipe from Chocko1's thread) with steamed brocolli and sugarsnap peas
Not had any syns today yet! but will probably have something later this evening - most likely three chunks of Dairy Milk chocolate from a big bar. :)
I've had about one and a half litres of water so far and another green tea.
A good day for me so far as I've also walked for 45 mins (and then some more around town pushing a buggy loaded with baby and shopping) and done lots of housework quite energetically. I'm currently flopped on the sofa with my green tea though, having a break.


Lots of good food there Cloudy6 and the walking too. Not too good at walking at the moment.
 
Evening everyone. Hope you all ok.

I have quite a productive day today. My small bedroom now has a bed all made up that can be slept on. The pink room,
For the last 2 years it has been full of `stuff` my DIL wants to sell. As my Andy and his family are coming over from NZ I needed the space, and now I have it. :D

I was feeling so tired I thought I would have a lay down for an hour or so and it turned into 4.1/2hrs. Woke up with a headache and feeling crap. Hope I can sleep tonight.

My food for today Sunday 29th June
hexs milk and bread

B: 1 egg, 1 mushroom and 1 bread.
L: McCains Jacket (1) 1/2 tin spag bol (1.1/2) and fresh pineapple
D: Chicken chasseur (2) and Chicken flavoured rice (3)
Supper wm roll that I didn`t have yesterday (6) boiled egg & tomato.
If up late may have the other slice of bread from h/e

syns 13.1/2

I have my days/weeks too Nanny D, as I have quite bad inflammatory arthritis and sometimes the pain in my knees is ridonculously bad (as my grandson would say) and I find walking too far, especially over uneven ground, really painful, as is coming down stairs. The consultant changed my meds a couple of months ago though and I also had some steroid injections, so at the moment, (fingers crossed) it's not so bad.
Hope your pain/walking improves soon x

Food sounds lovely though. I've been good again today but higher on syns than I usually am, 13 today but still within limits.
Hope you're soon feeling better x
