nikki's diary - closed...... moved over to maintenance to test the water!

With your running outside any gain will drop straight off again.
 
if i can do 3 miles a day then i think i'll drop loads next week. especially if i drop down a plan for a week, or almost a week. i just need to get back on track and stop picking at stuff. i wish i could pop on ss with 4 shakes for a week but i'm under the stone above my 25 bmi so i'll only be doing damage to myself on it. anyway 810 will be ok. just need to stop eating the apples that are allowed on the 1000 plan.
 
well i didn't go out running. it was lashing it down and very cold. anyway.... 1/2lb off so not bad as i've been picking and drank loads this weekend. back to it from friday according to my CDC. still waiting from a reply from medical and it's been a week.
 
stil no contact from medical. nevermind.

root canal tomorrow. papping myself! then back on track from friday/saturday. so off plan until then and then hopefully i'll have a few days where the added weight will drop off me when i get back on track again.

so until friday/saturday.....
 
had my root canal. had an ok day. ate ok not too bad. today i'm in pain and the paracets and ibru are not working well. i am finding it hard to eat as i can't stand anything remotely touching my right hand side tooth, jaw etc. it's so painful that i'm living off liquids and am starving hungry :( feel like crying :cry: having a few shakes as they're liquid and i can get them down otherwise i'd be having nothing at all as i just can't face it. tried eating bread and was swearing throughout and it just hurt too much. gave it up as a bad job.
 
decided to venture out to porridge with a teaspoon. still very ow! :(
 
OW! :cry:

feel so sorry for myself. it hurts like hell. have taken paracets and ibru not it's not taking the edge off even. have now got some tramadol from my mum... have taken it before for pain relief during an abdominplasty (tummy tuck) so know i'm alright with it but still the pain is there. i'm beginning to think that i've not got a high pain threshold. i went to bed about 9pm last night as i was in pain and thought i'd try to sleep it off. i only went and had dreams about tooth pain. like i was eating toffee and my teeth got stuck together and as i was trying to pull my teeth apart my fillings were getting yanked out. it was so painful.

the strange thing is that the pain is all over my jaw and into my ear but the actual tooth that i had the canal treatment done on is the main source of pain. i can't bare to touch it, tap it have anything near it. the roots gone as are the nerves so why this much pain. technically it's just dead!

had a choc shake for brekkie and i struggled with that - i'm not following any plan for now as i can't so i'm not trying to loose weight at the moment but i can't eat anything. i tried to eat a very soft blueberry muffin and had a bit but it's a swearing game. i'm trying to find things to eat that go down fast. things that i can drop into my mouth and swallow quick.

i wish they'd taken it out :cry::cry::cry::cry::cry::cry::cry:
 
oh no nicki! i had a wisdom tooth extraction from hell a few years ago and was in a similar state. the only thing that helped was holding an ice pack on the side where it had been taken out. i was also starving and lived off soup. i did lose half a stone during that week so every cloud has a silver lining. i feel for you girl!!!
 
been back to the dentists as i was in agony today, even after tramadol (a mild opiet) and hubby had to stay off work. i've been given diclofenic and antibiotics as they think i've an infection. i'm swollen too!
 
is up at daft o'clock due to pain :( now wondering what i can take.

took 50mg of volterol at bed time 9pm with a couple of regular paracets and my antibiotics.
have just taken another paracet as it's not quite time for another volterol and i'm now wondering if i could get away with taking a tramadol 50mg! the pain is bad and it's stopping me from sleeping. this is the worst night ever! :cry:eek:w

thanks :) you'll get back into the swing of the gym etc soon.

got back to sleep after taking a fast acting paracet and putting my face onto the warm duvet to help ease the pain. need warmth i think, not cold. managed to get a couple more hours.

supposed to be back on 1000 plan today but can't see to think that way yet with the pain so going to take it easy.

yesterday i took 800mg of ibru and a paracet and it worked well but when i got home i found out i should have taken 1 x 400mg of ibru not 2 x 400mg. mind it worked really well and the pain went. however, you can only take 1200mg a day :(
 
i correct myself as thursday night was not the worst night of my life with my pain, it was friday. i couldn't cope at all, in agony. tried a hot water bottle but nothing worked. hubby ended up calling nhs direct :( got a call back from a dental nurse about 11pm and she said that the infection was probably trapped with no way out as the tooth had been packed. no wonder i was in agony. she gave me a number to ring the following day of an emergency dentist. told me i might have to have more antibiotics.

anyway i over did the drugs a bit and felt like rubbish on saturday - dizzy, sick etc, it was the tramadol. took me the best part of saturday to get over it but the pain was gone and i managed to eat lots of things and felt a bit better.

my tooth is still hurting, a bit painful, like throbbing but i no longer need the med, apart from the antibiotics.

getting back on track has taken longer than i expected and i didn't get back on sort of track until sunday. i've been trying to do the 810 but i just can't do it. argh! it's too hard :(:( so i've had a few protein type snacks to keep me going in the right direction. 1000 plan again from tomorrow. the drugs make me retain water so i'm hoping that it'll come off by tomorrow and my weight in.

as far as exercise goes....
i ran on sunday last week did 3 miles, then again on the wednesday as my tooth wasn't hurting as much but no gym tuesday or thursday, no run on friday and didn't manage to get back to running until sunday and i did 3.55miles in 40 mins. ran with the dog. so the dog had a good time. i'm going to get a running pram within the next 2 weeks so i can go out every day. my parents are away so no body to look after dudey. couldn't go swimming tonight with him as i had no body to look after ems.

need some mojo to get my weight off now. i'm planning on loosing the rest of my weight to get to target by 31st may. i need june to be a focus on running and loosing my last half stone to stone.
 
weigh in today and i lost 3 1/2 lbs. not quite back to pre-holiday loss but only 3/4lb away from it. still i'm back in the 11st range by just 3/4lb. now i've got 6 1/4lb to go, in 2 weeks.

big achievement. cause of the antibiotics and my tooth op thing i need the 1200 plan. just don't know where to start. not sure that i like it. whereas the 810 and the 1000 gives you strict lunch and dinner guidelines the 1200 doesn't just a sample of dishes you could have. not good!
 
very odd day. been running round like a blue bummed fly. none stop. totally hungry all day. a bit of snacking happened too.

anyway, bank this morning first thing after dropping ems off at school, to the shops for a few things for the tea tonight. then dude's injections. followed by a trip to order my running pram. then collect ems. fill car up with fuel. off to soft play. then to get another re-cycling bag only to find the shop shut (flippen council). then home. grass cut. tea cooked. kids fed. hubby walked through the door. tidying up kids mess. sit down for 2 seconds. bath kids. then i'm finding out home insurance costs as ours is up (more than through quidco for a nice £50 cash back). then changing gas and electricity suppliers (npower to scottish power with a lovely £130 cash back). then on here.

had lunch out and had scrambled egg on toast. was ok but not fantastic. tea was salad with cottage cheese. bits of snacking happening throughout the day. nothing too major. reigned it in.

tired now and i bet when i decide enough is enough and get ready to go upstairs to bed hubby'll come in.
 
p.s ems is up to her old tricks and is peeing herself again. it started yesterday. she did it 3 times. one of which was at school which is unusual for her as it's normally her behaviour that make she wee e.g she tries to show that she's boss and will not be told by peeing herself. anyway another accident at school today and one tonight as we were playing lovely by the sand pit with hubby and dude. going to take her to the docs tomorrow or friday incase it's a water infection. just going to ignore it. mind she had a really bad night a couple of nights ago and ripped hubby's book and drew in it etc and we told her that as we couldn't trust her anymore we had to shut her bedroom door shut. we were leaving it open so that she had more light and could stay up a little later plus go to the loo at night but she's been taking it further and further and it's just gone too far. she can open her door by herself though. we've not locked it or anything. could be her way of rebelling.
 
Hey hun, sorry I haven't posted in a while. I have been reading as you go though.

You ordered the pram at last...yay! Sorry to hear em is back to her old tricks. If you are sure she is doing it out of rebellion, could you ask the doctor to have a word with her. Would it scare her if it got taken over your head. Might she think she has gone to far and reign it in?
 
thanks ladies. feeling bleurgh. haven't lost a thing this week. think i'll be cutting back a bit. can't get my head round the 1200 plan at all. :( just gives flippen example recipes and not amounts or quantities of food.

gym day was a waste of time yesterday. had a pt session in my hour and it was cr*p. told me i needed to stop running and correct my posture then go back to running. however, the RFL is 1 week on sunday. he's ok with me doing this then stop running for 12 weeks. my 2nd race is just 14 weeks away then GNR is 16 weeks away, 2 weeks after my 2nd race. so i can't just stop running, infact i need to up it. go out more often. i'm not doing enough outside running. this time 2 years ago i was out 3 times a week and i'm not managing that as i just can't get up early as i'm too tired and then i'm having to catch time to go out to run. argh!

just think i'll carry on running and then sort out posture etc after my races when i can stop running. then i can focus on condition.
