I've had a horrible day, woke up feeling grotty, I've got a horrible chesty coughI'm not impressed about being I'll while I'm off sick lol. I'm hoping it's just a passing thing and will be gone by tomorrow.
nightmare. it's going round. we've all got coughs. mine's tickly and i hate it and my throat's sore too. sneezing and dripping noses are the order of the day.
i'm still doing zumba tomorrow though. going to do it every monday, tuesday, wednesday if i can and thursday
cold or no cold.going to go to bed early tonight as i'm so tired and my throat is killing me. have a few little white puss spots on my throat too, only about 3 though.

Laugh in the face of food
Right I think it's time for me to admit I'm struggling again - a day off was all it took I start every day totally determined that I'm going to do it but by mid afternoon that determination vanishes, and I go foraging for food.... My cupboards are empty but my freezer was still stocked. Not anymore though.
I know if I can get through one day I'll be fine but I can't seem to get past 4pm. Now usually I find it easier to do CD when I'm at home and away from temptations at work. But I think because I'm bored I'm thinking of food ALL THE TIME!!!
I need to pull myself together and get a hold of this because I'll become like a hippo sitting here on my butt doing nothing. Don't get me wrong I'm not exactly stuffing my face with bad food, but I am eating when I shouldn't be I should be having my shakes and water and nothing else!!
I feel like I want comfort food.... I talked to my mum and she said if it was a certain food and I wanted it that badly to have it and then move on, get it out of my system. The trouble is I don't know what it is I want.... I wish I could say yep I want pasta or cottage pie or chilli, but I don't know what I want which makes me think it's not the food but the act of eating that I'm craving. Urgh what am I doing??
Get a grip girly!!!!

Hi SH,
I disagree with your mum... if you "allow" yourself to it this once, then I think it will be easier to "allow" yourself again.
I have a couple of dates marked on my calendar and on those days I will have something (resonable) other than a CD type product. So, if I was really craving chili, etc. I would tell myself now, "I'll have that on _____, if I still want it. And, if I do not still want it, then I'll have what I want them."
Right now, I am practicing my self-control and discipline skills.
Also, people often talk about how much it costs monetarily to be on VLCD meal replacement diet.
When I was on LL one of the ladies confessed to eating strawberries (and she did not lose weight that week). The counsellor asked her how much the berries cost. The woman said something like, "Two pounds." And the counsellor said, "No, they cost you the 66 pounds for LL, 2 pounds for the berries, plus the progress you would have made this week on your weight loss. Pretty expensive strawberries, don't you think?"

too right mel lol. i've struggled as i've given myself time off for my birthday and the couldn't get back on track, or face getting back on track for almost the whole week. just take the bull by the horns and do it. get the water going, drink coffee too, that's what i turn to if i want to eat. pint of water or/and a cup of coffee. decaf of course.
did zumba today, really enjoyed it but throat's killing me. have a cold too so nose keeps dripping but took some tabs this am. just feel odd.
felt odd on tuesday when i got off the treadmill my legs felt like they were still on it and i felt very dizzy and disorientate which is not like me at all.
anyway. booked zumba for tuesday, wed and thur at DL's. loving it. the only think i don't like are my wobbly arms so depressing.

Hi GT,
If you can swim (and like it) that is good for wobby arms. Also, using some heavier weights and doing some bicep curls and triceps lifts, etc. will help you tone.
I have large upper arms (compared to my friend who is 7 inches taller than I am and many pounds heavier), but my arms do not wobble as much, as I have built up the muscles in them a bit more than she has.

So far so good, had a strawberry tetra for breakie, swapped a shake for one of mums exante soups (never again bleurgh) so now I just need to get through this afternoon and I'll have managed a full day, but the easy part is done, afternoon is the hardest
Had half my water got another glass with me. Not allowed to have my coke zero until later when I'm near the end of a full day!

I might just do that, I'm trying to watch things I've recorded so I can fast forward the adverts because last night in one of the breaks every single one of the adverts was for food, nightmare! Normally it doesn't bother me but my resolve is fragile so I need to avoid it at all costs!

shame you can't shake your arms to zumba. work your top half out but not your poorly leg.
my nose and throat feel like they're burning. got that strange feeling like the bubbles have gone up my nose and it's sore. just drink gallons of decaf coffee like me always stops me from snacking as i'm too full. need to stop snacking actually.... take a leaf out of your book.

So I've made it through Day 1, I'm going to bed now to watch tv, there's a raging storm outside, wind and rain battering the house (joys of living on top of a cliff). I'm going to watch old ER and get an earlyish night, get ready to do it all over again tomorrow, ketosis here I come!!

Oooooh I don't like this weather!!! Rain, snow, thunder and lightening, can cope with all of that but I hate the wind!!! My roof tiles are rattling and banging right above my bedroom ceiling, don't think I'll be getting much sleep tonight
Going out with my mum tomorrow, just to get out, might buy some ketostix if I get near a chemist, maybe a little healthy ketostick obsession will keep me on track lol. It'll be good just to get out of the house (so long as this weather passes)!

I went to check my pilot light hadn't blown out because my heating went off early, but it was okay, just the thermostat had been knocked down.
Ooh dare I say it but it's suddenly gone very still and quite outside...... Nope spoke too soon it was just gearing up for a massive gust, it's stopped raining though.

i had a bad night too sally. hubby's started snoring a few weeks back and blamed it on his throat. he's still snoring now and there's nothing wrong with his throat. then child number 1 got up crying, went to the loo and wanted to come into our bed, no chance.... then my tummy started making strange sounds and child number 2 started squawking. decided that at 5am i'd had enough and got up. no wonder i went to bed early last night, this is a regular occurance now. squawking, snoring etc. hubby's slept in the spare room for 2 nights in a row. 1) cause he'd had to get up early the next day for business and didn't want to wake me and 2) cause i was that knackered the other night i wanted to go to bed early.
best nights sleep for ages. just wish he'd stop snoring. i need my sleep. he complains when i jab him but what does he expect if he keeps me awake.
p.s he could do with loosing weight. he's put on about 3 stone since i met and married him.
