Hey hunnie, not been on for a while and catching up with you first. So sorry to hear about this happening. You've been through the mill with these infections and having to be on antibiotics. Am sending you big hugs.
Know how scary it can be, so you take it easy for a while. Health is more important than weight loss, as we've said before on our challenge
You've done so fantastically well and you're well on your way to IVF.
I too am moving away from CD and more towards just sticking to calories and exercising. You'll be absolutely fine and - you got to goal!!! much love xxx

Thanks all for all your lovely comments and thoughts. Phew - these have been a tough few days, I have not been that ill for a long time. Tuesday was particularly horrible with temps around 41 c for most of the day, god that is hot! But, feeling much brighter today, just takes time for the medicine to work I guess, also I usually just bounce back in 24 hours from most things so this seems like an age. I am going back to work tomorrow, even if just for half a day. I can't face going in on Monday morning to a huge inbox.
Diet is going ok - making some good choices though not following a plan at the moment - just lots of porridge, baked beans, and oh my god a Wispa! I am pleased in the main with my portion control, and I have controlled my usual triggers of boredom and it being lunchtime so I should eat etc. I am around the same weight this week. Also probably TMI but going to the loo has become a more normal experience. I have just found a Low GI cookbook on the shelf which I am going to take a look at and see what receipes I can use alongside some of the 1500 meals. I am seeing my CDC a week on Tuesday so see where I go from here.
Had a letter from the central Leeds clinic confirming they are moving our treatment to Jimmys, but no letter from Jimmys giving us any details. I know it's coming but can't really plan until we know. But I am happy with the weight I am at the moment and if I can drop another half stone in the next 6 weeks I be thrilled.
Just off to catch up on other diaries, I have lurked a little and posted here and there but couldn't really focus more than 10 mins on the screen!

Aww hunnie, sounds like you've been really rough - you should be sleeping and forgetting about work! Know what you mean though, as I went in today and didn't fancy it.
Hope you feel a little improved by tomorrow if you do go in. Well done on making the good choices and portion control is key to getting on track. Hope the Wispa was nice - can remember when I started seeing them back in the shops! Took me back to my youth
Let me know how it goes on low G.I. as I want to do everything to keep my sugar levels stable when I get back. Interesting that you're going more...I find it harder to go since I've started eating. Was quite watery (sorry TMI!) when on SS for me. Have been having to take lactulose. So I'm pleased you're moving lol
Fingers crossed you'll hear from Jimmys soon - why have they done that then? Did they say? xxx

Thanks ladies...
I don't mind too much about work tomorrow, casual dress and an early finish - I can deal with that.
Leeds IVF clinic has two separate clinics - LGI and Jimmys. We were under LGI. In Jan 2010 they are to open a merged unit at a smaller hospital just out of town so they are reducing cases at LGI, transferring NHS cases to Jimmys. So we will transfer to Jimmys and get treated in the next couple of months (fingers crossed)
Jimmys is much closer to my work so will be easier for appointments. It is hard for OH to get out of work during the day, he just changes his shifts around if he needs to be at an appointment. And some of the check up scans etc he doesn't need to be at. Have a lovely friend at work who has offered to come with me to those appointments!

That's handy then for appointments and good that someone will be going with you too.
I never normally mind Fridays too much - it's nice to wear casuals, especially now that I have a better choice of clothes.
Can't believe we're coming to the end of the pirate challenge! Seems like such a long time ago that we started that. Even though I've not got to goal I feel like I'm much more content. We've both lost lots of inches too!

Hope your feeling better today and work not too bad. Will be good when you hear from Jimmys, if your anything like me I hated not knowing what was happening, is much better when your given a 'plan' and dates to work towards. Good luck with it and hope they are in touch soon. If you have any questions honey you know where I am xxxx

Evening all, and thanks for checking in on me.
Went into work from 9 until 1.30, felt knackered by the end of it. Just got through my emails and did a bit of work for my Manager and then they sent me home. Feel much better for getting that cleared before Monday. Came home and a snooze on the sofa - I am getting quite good at that
Not been too strict on food still today, but just eating when hungry and stopping when full, which is partly natural and partly enforced. Also trying to ensure I am still drinking loads of water, realised that I drink far more at work than at home.
Quiet weekend, apparently there is loads of sport on TV this weekend so there is some negotiation going to take place between Strictly and Super League playoffs!
Hope everyone has a great weekend x

Hey Wales Thank you for the lovely message on my thread. Thank you for all your support as well! We've been on 2 challenges together and now maintenance and it's been lovely having you there - you're really kept me going when I've felt cr*ppy.
Hope you're feeling a bit better soon. Not sure when your hospital appointment is, but I'm bound to be away, so hope all goes well with that and I'll speak to you when I get back.
Great pic by the way - you're looking super hot!!! xxx
