Lost & Found... Map Gone AWOL!

[Katycakes]

Yup, still taking the echinacea. Daughter had sore head last night & dozed under a quilt by fire all evening, has woken up today barking like a seal. I think we need to paint a big black cross on the door to warn people away... I'm OK though, throat tender but no more sneezing etc. I may ward it off yet, & OH seems fine.

I am like you Alli, with the doc as last resort thing. Classic one (which daughter kindly reminded me of yesterday) was son complaining of tummy ache and sickness, & me telling him firmly it'd be a bug (like the one he'd had 10 days earlier). 'But it could be my appendix' he wailed, and I said no, appendicitis was MUCH more severe than that. A few hours later he looked so seedy I caved and made a late docs app, was told to drive immediately to A&E as he did indeed have acute appendicitis, and said appendix was whipped out a couple of hours later... shame on me.

Food-wise... yesterday was a mixed bag, but not by any means a 1200 day. Today will be. Have started with porridge & berries & high hopes. Hope everyone is good!

Exceeded cals by 196... ah well. Not beating myself up as it wasn't a binge day, just a hungry one!

porridge & berries
CD hot choc (last one)
2 oatcakes, scrape of peanut butter
potato & leek soup, homemade, & wholemeal roll
shape yog & 10-cal jelly
sprouts & broad beans & feta
banana, shape yog
teaspoon manuka honey for sore throat

TOTM is threatening, which makes sense of the recent cravings.

Today will be better. Roads seem OK so hoping to get out to town for more supplies before it all freezes up again. Son is coughing less, so hopefully antibiotics kicking in... daughter not well now though... supplies of tissues & lemsip are what I need most!

Hope everyone has a great day. My aim for today: stay under 1200 cals.

Glad your son is a bit better, but poor daughter and you! Well done on the calorie front too. xxxx

Hey Katy

Hope you are feeling a bit better today, and managed to get some more supplies.
Our area is still awful too snow-wise - yet about half hour away, a totally different story and it's thawing, so I'm told - weird huh!?

TOTM such a pain, but keep focusing and you will get through it as always.

PS - I think calories are going well personally - going over on a banana isn't so bad x

Hi Katy, well done that was a great day. Hope the kids are feeling better? I have 3 of them coughing at the mo and it drives me insane first thing in the morning. I know they can't help it but as one stops another starts! x

 

[Katycakes]

I know, we are like a house full of seals...

Hugs MsJT hope you are surviving... my food plans have been all over the place lately. Feeling yuk doesn't help! How is Sleepy? Worried about her with all this ice & snow, she must be working flat-out...

Take care & hope the little ones are better soon.

Im back to day one again today:cry: and moved my target down (not sure if thats a good thing actually.) CD was so much easier first time round :sigh: Sleepy is fine thanks but seems to always be working, i really feel for her especially dealing with her 'customers.' Shes a fab driver so in this weather shes safer than most of us.

I hate it when the children are ill and have coughs. It seems whatever I give them just isn't shifting it and DD has had it from before christmas. We have tried benylin, buttercup syrup and calpol. Does anyone know of any secret medicine they want to share

Hey Katy, hope you and the family are feeling better. Just posted on Bess's thread that my cold was around for 4 weeks start to finish, but has now gone and feeling tip top!

Also hope you had a great day today, of which good food choices was a part.

Oh yes, with hot water and sugar....well a small amount! Hope you are feeling a bit better. How are the children? xxx

 

[Katycakes]

Daughter better & back at school, son still pretty rough though. Think daughter & I have a simple throat bug, son by contrast has a real nasty secondary infection... we'll all live, though. Might do the whisky thing tonight, I haven't been sleeping well which is odd for me.
