Forgot to put it this morning! I went to Docs for what was supposed to be blood tests but she told me I wasn't having them today so I didn't eat/drink anything before I went as it was at 830am!
I ended up having the lot and very nearly keeled over they had to lay me down and everything grrrrrr!
They took 5 lots of blood, showed me the vials (bloik ) and the nurse said "ooooh what lovely veins, you have amazing veins you know!" so NOT what I needed to hear lol!!!!
Now I have a purple and ridiculously sore arm that I can't extend or particularly hold anything with! Why aren't docs ever straight forward?!?!

I'm a bit gutted to be honest
I STS today even after my PP day yesterday
Not sure where I have gone wrong- although I'm pretty sure I'm not doing something right so any answers would be very helpful thanks!
This is where I think I'm going wrong;
1. It's my week off and I'm not waking up until at least 10 so all my meals are later than usual.
2. I'm not doing enough exercise even though I had 2 trips into town and back yesterday? (1 hr)
3. I drink more than 4ltrs of water per day (I don't think this is doing me any good...)
4. If I had followed 5 days of attack instead of 2 would I have lost more?
5. I waiting for myself to hit a stumbling block, and I'm scared I have hit it!!!
6. I'm getting very conscious about the scales!
Shall I PP it? Or PV it today???

Awwww Ruth ...I can't really help much as I've not been doing it long enough to know but from what I've read it's not unusual while your body adjusts to the changes x
A few tips which I've read which someone may correct me on are
1 always make sure your meals are mite protein based and just have a few veg on the side .
2. Watch soy sauce worster sauce coz of salt content.
3 maybe start weighing once a week as your body fluctuates naturally x
Just a thought Hun x as I said though I don't know much learning myself x

Hi Ruth
As said before your weight naturally fluctuates so would go for once a week weigh in. I am a bit scales obsessed and I know I am doing it right so when it stays the same it is demoralising. So pick a weigh in day and stick to it.
I chose Monday morning for a couple of reasons.
If I weighed on a Friday or saturday morning and it was sts or worse I would get upset and be more tempted to cheat. If it was a good weight off I might be tempted to 'treat' myself and by this I mean food!!
On a Monday - if I have sts or put a bit on I would feel motivated for the week to keep at it as I am at work and less likely to cheat. If its a loss then again I would want to keep the momentum up.
You say you drink 4litres of water?? - whilst I dont think it does much harm I think around 2 litres is recommended so maybe cut this down a bit. Look at your past menus and note anything 'tolerated' - these maybe the stalling foods.
Stay positivie you are doing it right and it will show after a week - may be just not every day

Thanks
I Am going to put my WI day on a Monday as that's when I started! I will get my OH to hide the scales hee hee!
I am drinking too much because I have to get up during the night to go to The loo loads! I'm exhausted and have a migraine as a result! I have never ever slept so badly or been this tired in my life!
There are lots of tolerated foods! I worried about my dinner last night and it did have too much salt in!
Thanks for your support! Just need to shift this migraine now boo!!!

Hi Ruth, If I were you I would take something for the headache, have some food and maybe a sleep. If you are feeling really tired maybe a multi vitamin may help?
