So glad to see you back posting and well on track despite the pizza temptation! Hope you're having a fab weekend! Twinkles have drawn a mini calender up on the whiteboard in the kitchen and circled the days until we see you again on 27/28th! They also noted the "us" in your text too so are very excited about meeting matty - so best warn him or let me know ASAP if they read too much into it, so I can let them down gently LOL. *Big Hugs* xxx
 
Hi Rach how's it going? Sounds like you're on track and doing well with Core x
 
thanks everyone :D yes Jax, matty MAY be coming with me.. be warned, he isnt much of a talker - i have to do much of that for him :p he did say he wanted to come though (without me even asking him) which is a good sign.. usually i have to drag him to meet my friends!

really looking forward to seeing you all again.. must get a few more pounds off before then so i will at least be no fatter than i was last time you saw me haha :p

aaaaaaaanyway.. meant to update this morning but i forgot in my rush for work :p

todays food plan:

B - bran flakes and soya light
L - jacket potato and beans
T - vegetable chilli (made with black beans, kidney beans, carrot, onion, garlic, chopped tomatoes, ginger, salt, pepper, chilli powder) and bulgar wheat with a side of l.f. natural yoghurt because Matty makes everything sooooo spicy! :eek: <-- me with a red face after eating it!
S - redcurrants, blackberries, raspberries, blackcurrants, watermelon

very chuffed though - he's really chipping in with meals and working really hard to make them core friendly for me :) i can't remember if i posted yesterdays meal plans but he made chicken with peppers in blackbean sauce and it was sooooo nice - like having from a real chinese but core friendly :) i like that he's enjoying cooking at least - I worry about him cause he's sat at home all day long and I feel bad that he feels that he has to do all the house chores while I'm out working.. i'm not complaining that he does them but I do feel mean.. then again, i suppose I am feeding and housing the man so maybe i'm over-worrying :p

feel really pleased with myself today - didnt pick at a single thing - i was on pizzas all day and had to sample a few and i didnt have any..

however tomorrow will be the real test.. tomorrow there will be chocolate cake for Lani Rose's birthday, pizzas, sweets (Izzy working) and of course.. all the sunday bar stools who drive me to comfort eat in the first place :p

going to go earn some AP now on my bicycle.. hope everyone is having a more eventful saturday than me! :p
 
Hiya Rach

Sorry for late reply. Trying to stick to core but its not going well ha ha ha my birthday on wed and people keep treating me to lunch and treats all over the show. I am actually sick of food. Never thought I would say that!!! I am wondering if I should just try my best till my bday is over and then get back on it.

I just want to get on with the diet but its so hard with my bday coming.

Well done on being good.

well, looks like OH now has flu.. whether its piggy flu, i don't know.. waiting on a call back from the emergency doc's as i would just treat him like any one with flu but with his asthma being really bad lately, i'm a little concerned.. typical matty would get flu on a bloody weekend when the GP is shut - he just loves to complicate matters!

i sound like a cold heartless cow when i say this, but mainly i am most worried about whether i can go to work tomorrow as my bills won't pay themselves! Sat here with an effervescent vit c as have eaten all my regular ones.. i hate effervescent anything with a passion.. brings back memories of having to take disolvable antibiotics when i had tonsillitus - best memory of those two weeks was that i dropped a stone and a half from lack of food.. it came back when i got better though.. - anyway back on topic, these disolvable things make me really sick but my god i will not get flu, piggy swine flu or otherwise as i need to be able to go to work!!! Also i want to give blood on thursday damnit :( there are people who need me! :D

so i remember reading somewhere that exercise helps when you're ill.. so i've done 30mins on my bike (2AP) and i've topped myself up with plenty of water (and will therefore earn more AP during the night back and forth to the loo downstairs!) and i have some lentil soup on the hob so i can play nurse tomorrow for Matty if needed.. going to see how he is in the morning and then go from there..

now i'm just twiddling my thumbs until the doc calls back!
 
Hope he doesn't have the dreaded swine flu - blokes can be awful with a headache never mind a real illness.

I don't think it would stop you going to work - its now so prevalent that I am sure most people have come into contact with it somewhere or another - so wouldn't worry - unless you come down with it of course!!! But you will get paid when you are sick wont you???
 
i dont get paid for the first 3 days :( which would be 3 full day shifts.. rest of my week is only a few hours here and there..

got a headache at the moment but i think its from looking at the pc for too long.. i really want to go to bed (been up since half 5) but waiting on this bloomin' doc ringing back!
 
Hope Matty's OK he's more of a worry because of his asthma in respect of the swine flu. Sorry the doc took a while to ring back but we are dealing with zillions of calls each day plus our usual calls so it does cause delays.

Hoping you are OK

morning

hope he is ok - I went to NHS walk in yesterday & overheard a bloke telling reception that they had tried calling emergeny docs and A & E about something and they were told call back times were 6-8 hours due to the large number of cases - average wait in walk in was just over an hour - I realis you can't go out with swine flu but seems like wait times are about the same everywhere - I am asthmatic myself and know how lousy it is with just a cold -let alone flu - heres hoping he hasnt got it.x
 
doc got back within 3 hours which wasnt too bad.. advised to go to walk in straight away as he had additional symptoms that said he might have a kidney infection - turns out he does so he has some antibiotics that begin with a C and I have to keep him all watered up for the next few days.. no mention of swine flu, just regular flu symptoms and lady said whatever the tablets he has will help with his temperature and everything else anyway.. joy! :D

i am however very tired as we were at the walk-in for 2 and a half hours.. was thinking after work i could at least go to bed but i have to go down Darlington for my sister's birthday party.. killer when WI is in the morning! :p

plan for today:

B - cornflakes and soya light
L - jacket potato with remainder of lovely if a bit hot chilli and some l.f. natural yoghurt
T - whatever i can find at the party that isnt pastry related.. however if there is quiche (my weakness) i may have to have an incy slice.. luckily no drinks for me though as i have to drive back up tonight for work tomorrow.. brill excuse that innit? :D

well.. off to get read a few diaries before i have to head to work-dom. hope you all enjoy your sundays.. unless you're not working then i hope its horrible for you :p.. only kidding :D x
 
Glad the bf only has regular flu and a kidney infection, well, not glad but you know what I mean! Now you can stop strssing and just play nursie-and make sure he remembers he owes you brownie points for the worry! :p
 
Good news about it not being swine flu, 4 ppl in my office had it a week ago so we had to stay out of the office and work at home, scary!

Good job he has a lovely girlfirend to take care of him! xx
 
Glad it isn't quite as series as it might have been and i hope he's on the mend very soon. Hope you are doing okay too. It must have been very stressful for you. How you feeling about tomorrow's WI? I'm going to have to do mine on Tuesday of this week then back to Monday as per usual. Hope you are okay and able to have a bit of a rest. Take care x x x
