Thread: The Ups and Downs along my journey

well everyone how are you this bright sunny but cold morning
I am suffering from a lack of sleep (had about four hours) and I still have the headache
not a good sign with a down day today - but will take a book and plenty to do at work - if it becomes quiet and all tasks are done - my biggest threat is boredom

I will of course be walking to work - in the cupboard at work I have low cal cup a soups if I need them
have no idea what might be for dinner tonight - but I do fancy and mushroom omelette and a few chips with a lovely leafy salad
not sure if I will fancy that when I get home - but who knows
quite looking forward to today - but only because once the work day is over I get my lovely lovely long weekend
See if you can answer the following question
every morning my dh brings me a cuppa - so why this morning did he forget to put the milk in it

Ithink it was just to make sure I got out of bed to go and put the milk in
I mean what other possible answer could there be

That is so sweet that your hubby brings you cuppa (thats coffee right? LOL) every morning!

No idea why he forgot the milk though! LOL

Hubbys are strange creatures! ROFL

a cuppa is tea - I cant do coffee too early in the day

well today has been a day of work and just getting to the end of the day
been tired all day - not really surprised and still have a vague headachy feeling - might need to go to the docs with this - or might need to watch my diet carefully on the up days as I could be detoxing on alternate days so never really getting there

need to give this some thought

Morning. Best to get them checked out if they carry on to be on the safe side. Have a good MD and thanks for the advice

Well hello everyone
I have had a really lazy morning
I got up later than usualy - had a lovely leisurely bath - last night was the first time I have slept through in a while
I got out of the bath and went back to bed for a bit with a good book and a cuppa
then this afternoon I went out as planned with my friend E and her boys
spent far too much money on yarn and a book (I blame MF for this she showed me the pattern book) I have started knitting it with fantastically soft yarn - it is one of the more complex patterns in the book and I wont be racing through this as I would really like it to be special - afterall I am worth every penny I spent on it
today has been an upday I just couldnt do anything else - tomorrow I am hoping for a dd

well good morning everyone
today my mood is again light ( I sure hope it stays this way)
today will have to be a med day - this week has gone completely to pot - oh well
I wont fail until I give up and I am too stubborn to do that
will be out with DH later but until then I am in with the dogs and my knitting
hope you all have a great weekend

Hey there!

I hope you have a good weekend!

A MD, hummmm I think I might do that! LOL Sat, and Sun is suppose to be UDs for us.... but our week last week was thrown off by being out of town..... OH well.

Hope you have a good time out. You have done really well this week, im sure you will be pleased at WI Which day is your WI?

Miss JT I am not weighing in till the end of the month - I am trying to stay off the scales

well today my mood is again good - long may this continue
I got up early this morning and have now cooked the blackberry and rose preserve (picked them in the summer) and I have mango apple and ginger chutney on cooking now

I have made (but not cooked it is resting in the fridge) 4 lots of shortbread
plain, chocolate with chips, cinnamon and lastly vanilla they will be rolled and cooked later at the moment jars are sterilising for the chutney - I have tasted a bit on some veggie slicing sausage and it is the best one I have ever made - well I think so

will be doing a little more knitting today and reading I have a brill book I have not long started and I NEED to know what is going to happen next
off for a browse

Ooohhh, shortbread!!! I adore shortbread, lol!!! Love to make it too, but can't at the mo as oven is broken

Hope you are having a great day

I hope all is going well!

Of course, sorry I forgot.
I really have to be careful reading your diary as it sounds soooooo good. If I lived in your house I would prob be 30 stone, everything sounds so nice. I daren't cook in my house just yet as it would all dissappear before it was cool. Hows today going? Im on a DD again.

Hey Hey!!!!

How is it going?

YOU CAN DO IT!

thanks for being here for me ladies

well as you know I have been having horrendous headaches
so I am going to stop juddd for about a week and I am first going to kick all caffeine out of my system - I am wondering if the headaches are because of the nature of the plan - its almost like attempting a detox on alternate days
once I have done that hopefully any headaches I get will be over with in a week I will start back on plan with avengeance
I will be doing slimming world until monday - hopefully that will be long enough to get rid of the headaches once and for all
I love doing Juddd but cant live with no sleep due to headaches - if this doesnt work I will be seeing my doctor

I will keep posting here if that is ok with you girls as I feel we are a small but very supportive group and I really dont want to give up - I just need to concentrate on one thing at a time

so I am following slimming world on every day until I go back to alternate days
I am taking to work
orange mango and cinnamon tea
cranberry raspberry and elderflower tea
and rooibos
see NO caffine

although my weight stalled on slimming world (thats why I started Juddd) I do feel it will at least enable me to maintain my weight until I am over these headaches

Good luck. I hope those headaches go soon.
