Getting a grip

[Trying hard 2014]

Another eating day. Sorry folks.

Tonsil swollen again, sore to swallow and ear still aches despite painkillers. Hard when uv got a class full of 4-5 year olds and ur dressed as Little Red Riding Hood!

It isn't really an excuse I know. Ill try again tomorrow. Think I should probably go to docs now cos I've been 'off-kilter for about 10 days now. Just can't seem to get free of chest infections, tonsillitis, aches n pains! Food doesn't make any difference to be fair...

Anyway, despite feeling a bit off, I still had a good day with my kids. I was observed by a woman all day too and she was very complimentary about what I do so that gave me a big head!

Glad it's the weekend though. Glad got a bit of time to catch up with myself

Will get back on TS tomorrow and will endeavour to go to gym, even if its for a cup of tea! X

Sorry you're still feeling rubbish, re the food don't you worry at all about eating, it's allowed when you're not well, totally understandable ----- however if you were feeling well I'd be outside your house ready to kick butt, I'd be the big bad wolf out to get you

Well done on doing so well while being observed, that's even more of a credit to you with you not being well xx

Deffo get to the docs TH !

I need to make appt for X-ray results so ill definitely be going. Always go to the doctors and take medication as a last resort. Why is that?!

I never take time off work either. Lots of folk stay off with runny noses and coughs etc. At my last place of work, myself and my colleague formed a wee group called 'the survivors'. Every time there was a bug or illness going round, all staff would succumb to it and take time off, except us! We never had a day iff in the 7 years i worked there. Don't get me wrong... I'd never go to work if I was really ill or in danger of passing an infectious disease on! X

Day 1 (again!)

Right, my big sore tonsil is less big and a bit less painful to swallow today. Ear seems to be irritated but I can live with that.!

So I'm going to 'drug-up' before it gets a chance to worsen and then Im going to do some housework. My house is a tip!

Then Im going to the gym where I will at least do the challenge. Not sure what ill do at gym but it will be something.

I'm going to drink lots if water (even though it will be a bit sore!)

So there you have it! Hope you have a great day and manage to keep yourself out of mischief! X

Glad the Tonsil is going down Are you gargling, it will help.

Good luck today, it will feel so good to get back on track :cross: & I'm getting lonely on that challenge LOL x

 

[lynneonextante]

Hi TH. Sorry to hear you've been ill. You need to be careful. I hope you're completely better soon. Only do what feels ok for you.

 

[bunchomonkeys]

Might be worth trying the shakes made with ice to soothe your throat chuck I went through a bad spurt of tonsillitis a while ago - its evil!! Hope you perk up soon hunny! x

Thanks ladies!

Well I'm afraid I had 2 oranges yesterday and then a plum and then 2 bananas. I'm in house on own this weekend and the fruit will go off. So rather than throw it out, I decided to eat it. Lame excuse I know. Then I thought the vitamins would do me good. Then I even thought the bulk would do my tonsils good. Kind of de-slough them on the way down to my belly. Rubbish justifications!
Still got some fruit left which I may or may nit eat today. Ill try not to!

Anyway, I definitely feel like I'm getting better. Big tonsil didn't get bigger. It's just stayed the same which is great news. Haven't drank as much water because its sore to swallow. Think I need an IV bag hooking up!

Went to gym yesterday but didn't do much. Wasn't feeling it! Not going today. Think ill walk today. Choice is either to walk around city centre shops or along the canal. Not sure yet!

Anyway, I hope you're doing well have a lovely Sunday! X

On any other diet eating fruit is a great thing eh ?
So, going by that standard TH, you didnt eat the worst thing in the world
Enjoy your walk, wherever you end up

Yeah, ur right Marge. If normally be high-5ing myself for choosing healthy option but instead I'm feeling guilty about the carbs and sugars in the fruit. Strange...

Hey Ho!

[lynneonextante]

The fruit will probably have done you good. Enjoy your walk. It's a lovely day!

 

[x-Katie-x]

Sorry you're still feeling rubbish, hoe you pick up soon xx

As has been said at least you ate the healthy option, could have been so much worse! Hope the vitamin C does you some good. Enjoy your walk, can't believe how gorgeous the weather is today

 

[Susie58]

It is dragging on a bit isn't it TH. Save the rest of the fruit till tomorrow & if you feel better then dispose of it. If no better eat it & get round to the doc.

Enjoy your walk. On a day like today I'd opt for the canal xx

 

[bunchomonkeys]

Hey don't beat yourself up - I had toast last night!! The other thing you could do with anymore is freeze the fruit into portions? Stewed apples and plums freeze very well, banana's freeze to make a lovely ice-cream (see what I put on Marges thread) oranges you could always press for someone to drink the juice another day? Eitherway, I hope you feel better soon hun x

 

[Trying hard 2014]

I've had more fruit today and 2 slices of toast.

On the upside, I feel much better. Feel like all green/yellow sputum, snot and inflamed tonsils are finally departing. Finally!

Took all fruit to mother-in-laws. I never thought of that. Doh!

Anyway, am up for new day 1 again tomorrow

See ya then! X
