Surfhunny's Countdown to Florida

Good morning sal

Aw sweet kiddies are they yourfriends kids??
Also should I ask is it weigh in day ?? Or mid week next week before the wedding ?

Also could u give me your advice on what I've posted in my thread please... I can't stop thinking lol

What are u doing today? X
 
Morning Shanny, and everyone else :) yes they are my friends kids, I love them to bits.

I feel dreadful today, I've been awake a lot through the night with a sore throat, and now I've woken up with a massive headache, sore throat, sore sinuses and I ache all over. I think the aching is more related to mowing the stupid lawn yesterday but it just contributes to me feeling cr@p :( I also woke up to find some b!tching about me on one of the game threads because I'd made a mistake with the alphabet, but it was the middle of the night when I was playing and I wasn't the only one to have done it. I think I'm going to stop playing these things because people take them far too seriously and get too nasty when mistakes are made! I don't come on here to be b!tched about, LM does enough of that for everyone. :(

I wasn't going to bother going on the scales this morning because I'm sick of looking at 14st 1lb flashing up. But I bit the bullet and was rewarded with 13st 11lbs :D so finally a drop of 4lbs!!! I'm pleased with that and I'm back into the magical 13's. I just need to set my sights on the elusive 12's after the wedding.

I'm off to alter my ticker and see what medication I can stuff down my neck to make me feel more human!! At least the weather looks nice again today :)

Thanks Hun, it was what I needed right now :) I feel so cr@ppy, got a temperature and the slightest thing is making me cry. I think if the scales had stayed the same I'd have had a huge wobble, not sure I could've come back from that one!! Next WI Friday morning before I set off for Wales.

Anyone got any ideas about how I can get my temperature down? Bearing in mind I'm on SS!! Any help appreciated. Thank you xxx
 
Nothing yet, don't know what to take, going to drag myself out of bed and investigate the medicine cabinet. It's not a cold so cold and flu would be no good, I wonder if good old paracets will work??
 
GOD forgot.. there might not be much u can take while being on SS really.. hopeful Nikki or Mel may have some ideas... get drinking water thou..!:hug99::hug99:x
 
Ibuprofen can be a bit harsh on an empty-ish tummy unless you've just had a shake. Paracetamol's probably better for sorting out the temperature a bit - and for dealing with all those aches and pains. Knock some back, hun x x

And well done on the 4lbs down - just wish you felt better so you could really enjoy the feeling!

Hugs
 
Thank you girls, I'm going to have some paracetamol first and see what happens. I never get ill so I'm being a big baby about it!! I sometimes do get bunged up sinuses but it never evolves to full on sinusitis like it has this time.

Being this hot in ketosis is novel for me lol.
 
I've found emergency supply of Tylenol Extra Strength from America, so two of them will help hopefully!

Thanks Hun, I think I'll be in the 13's for a fair while too because of the wedding and Easter etc, but I'd love to be in the 12's by my birthday at the end of May!!
 
Hi Sal --

Yeah, to American Tylenol being on hand! I like Tylenol Allergy Sinus!

Congrats on the loses, and surviving your child/dog care experience last night.

I've just read somewhere that CD is changing, and that instead of 3 packs every has 4 regardless of height.

The research shows that you will lose as much with 800 calories a day as you will with 460, because your body goes into survival mode. Also, you will do less damage to your leptin levels.

So, the hour packs makes sense (LL is four packs). However, it does increase the cost. So, if money is an issue and you can be organised enough to do the planning -- then you could do a CD and low GI/Low Carb food combo.

If you have a BMI over 40 you can't do SS and have to do 810 until your BMI is lower and same for if your BMI is over 60 you can't go lower than 1000. That all seems a bit odd and pointless!

The heavier you are the more calories are required for basic metabolic functions. I suspect that the restrictions for peope who have significantly more weight to lose, to lessen the risk of them doing lean muscle damage. Very heavy people who go on a VLCD diet long-term often end up weakening their hearts. So, they should be very careful and monitored by a medical professional even more so than someone who has less to lose.

Does anyone know if this is true??

Don't know, but it does make sense.

I love Tylenol, I'd have brought back a massive bottle of them if UK customs didn't insist on taking it off me, so I've got my little 24 tablet bottle for extreme emergencies only. It works better than any other over the counter pain killer I've taken over here.

What you put about my CD questions makes sense, I generally have 4 packs if I feel I need it, more often than not.

I've just woken up after an hour or so deep sleep, headache is still there but feel less feverish and my aches and pains have gone. I'm going to get up and go and sit in the garden for a bit, get some vitamin D.

I'm still pretty wiped out but at least I'm feeling a bit better, I hate infections :( they take it out of me. Last time I felt like this I had a serious tooth infection. I'll see how I get on today and see if I can fight it off on my own or if I'll need antibiotics. I detest being ill!
 
Hi Sal,

I hope that you recover soon. The Vit D will certainly help -- just do not get burned.

MM
 
Nope I won't, I'm covered in high factor sun cream. Gone are the days where i could get away with lower factors and not get burnt. I won't allow myself to burn because I get hives if my skin is too hot, and hives on top of sun burn are probably very unpleasant!
