Surfhunny's Countdown to Florida

surely the 9-9s are far too long legally?
 
I'm here, had a terrible afternoon at work. Felt like everything I touched turned to sh!t :( I ended up staying until half 6 even though I finished at 5! I feel like I have no life with these shifts, as for going to the gym there's no way I have time it's crazy, I can't believe this is how my life is going to be from now on. I'd drop a day if I could afford it but after the recent £6000 pay cut I just can't do it :cry:

That's a big hit. Wow! Sorry about the rubbish at work.

As for my speeding this they were very prompt, got caught on the Sunday had the thing by the Tuesday, I think you're safe now!!

Impressive, but sorry you got nailed.

I might get the recipe book on Friday, for over the Christmas period, I'm not going to be able to SS so damage limitation is going to be the name of the game for me.

Sounds like a good plan. They also now have maintenance meals.

Hi Sal,

I hope you have a better rest of the week.
 
I'm a little bit pissed off this morning :( My hair has been falling out for a few weeks, I experienced it the first time I did CD too, but as I have tons of hair it hasn't worried me and really wasn't noticeable but today I've just coloured my hair again and I think it's starting to get really thin. (probably shouldn't be colouring it really).

I wouldn't really mind if I was anywhere near target but still being 2st + away makes me more than a little bit worried. :eek: I've probably easily got another 12 weeks on CD SS before moving up, which is a long time for my hair not to grow because of calorie conservation. I know I'm not going to go completely bald but I'm still worried because my hair is so dark that thin straggly hair will be really noticeable.

I'm pissed off really because this far into the diet I should be very close to target and I'm nowhere near!! :cry:

your hait will grow back and will be in tip top condition. if you think about what i put mine through.... 12% bleach, tonor that burns my scalp and leaves me with scabs. ow!
 
I know it'll grow again, and really when it's dry it isn't that noticeable but I'm more worried by the length of time I still have left on the diet and how much more is likely to fall out. When I'm back in the land of the living after my sleep I'm going to pop to Holland and Barratt for some Biotin, it's meant to really help. It takes a month or so to start working but hopefully it'll limit the damage.
 
treading water :) is that your way of STS during xmas? :D

i feel like i'm trying to do the same. my diet this week is rubbish. i've gone up 1lb but i'm living on the edge at the minute so much to do. i cancelled the gym today cause i'm seriously behind my schedule. i feel panic every day with the amount i need to do for emily's birthday, xmas, preparation for my 2 nights out and then there's the general stuff to do. i think i've just about finished my xmas shopping. today i actually wrapped emily's pressie and ordered her birthday card. hubby's mum is sorted. i now need to start xmas wrapping. i need to make a note of all the pressies for each child and each person just to make sure i have everything and have bought everything for everyone. i've lost my address book (again) so i'm not sending cards to most people..... hard times. i've written some cards out but not sent them yet or delivered them around the n'hood!
 
great things said:
think i've just got a job! yikes!!!

Exciting! What and where?

Someone hammering on the door has just woken me up and by the time I'd got downstairs they'd gone next door so I don't know what they wanted, cant have been important. I'm shattered still but I need to go into Redcar for a few things, it's not far from me but I can't be bothered. But if I don't go now I'll have to go Sat and that's worse.

I've had a real horrible dream while I was sleeping, I dreamt that I was driving home from work after my night shift and drove into the back of someone, totally wrecking the cars. :( I'm paranoid about losing my no claims after the Audi incident, and I saw the Audi owner this morning on my way out to the car and my colleague practically had to hold me back to stop me from going and having a go at her over the way she handled it.
 
I googled Hairloss and got Biotin as a remedy. I got some this aft from Holland and Barratt, £12 for 100 of the 1000mcgm strength going to take 2 a day but there's various ideas on how much to take 2000mcgm is midway.

Biotin is vitamin B7 which is good for hair nails and mucous membranes so might help with my mouth ulcers too. It's worth a go.
 
Hi Sal,

I hope the biotin works. Sorry about the bad dream.

@Nikki -- Congrats on the possible job! (And you are much further along with this holiday brouhaha, than am I)

I hope that you both have a good Friday!
 
I'm not going to my works Christmas party tonight :( I've caught the winter stomach bug that's been rife in the hospital :cry:

I spent all day yesterday in absolute agony with my stomach, really bloated and painful and only just made it home from work before it all started. Been up all night I'm so tired. I was really looking forward to the party but stuffing myself with food and alcohol really isn't a good idea, I've warned the friends I'm sharing a taxi with because I feel bad it's going to add to their cost, one has replied saying she hopes I feel better soon, the other hasn't bothered. I think she's pissed off because people keep dropping out.
 
I've finally stopped being sick and I'm absolutely starving, the thought of having anything CD turns my stomach. Hopefully that won't last!! Cos I havent got anything else in the house and i need to get back on track ASAP.

Right now all my friends are meeting for preparty drinks and I'm sitting on the sofa in my jamas feeling sorry for myself. I've only ever missed 2 Christmas parties in 12 years, both times because of D&V. The perils of working in a hospital :cry:

I guess the plus side is that I'll be saving money and not eating and drinking tons tonight. So at least I'll be good on the diet front, I might even have lost a few lbs.
 
good diet wise but not great feel fab wise. hope you feel better soon.

me on the other side is a very naughty girl. had a day off diet today. it's stress and tiredness.
 
I'm finally feeling human again, but I'm absolutely starving and the thought of having any cd products still turns my stomach. This had better pass quickly because I need to get back to it ASAP.
