NannyDoreen & Upndown's daily diaries

[upndown]

I don`t know what is wrong with me the last few days. My head feels funny, I have a scarf wrapped around my neck. Head feels too heavy for my neck. I do have a slight neck problem so I suppose it could be that radiating up to my head. I also can `feel` noise in my head, not in my ears. I will try and mention it at the hospital tomorrow, they may have a solution. I will mention of course if it is still there tomorrow.

I feel like going to bed to have a sleep but then I may have a problem tonight and need to lbe at hospital by 9 and if the weather is as it has been I will have to get all the ice ans frost off the car first and will have to stick to the main roads instead of the lanes.

Mu sugars are a little high so could be that. I am going to have to stop eating as much fruit if it carries on. If I have - say - peaches in the evening my sugars are up in the morning. Mullerlights are 7% sugar so they are not good really. Often low fat equals high sugar.

I reckon when I go to look after the kids and I feel like this I put it down to tiredness of school runs etc. Maybe it isn`t. Better sugar checks for me I reckon.

I think I will get my old diabetic book out and look for some clues.
Anoither long post. Sorry if I boring but it does helo just to type it out.

Not boring at all - if it's on our minds I think we shd be able to post it - esp u - it's ur diary after all! Headaches are a nuisance - make us feel strange at times - hope it passes soon and perhaps u shd mention it - just to check. Also ur blood sugars do warrant a check too? Hard when fruit and mullerlights contribute too. Let us know jow u get on at ur appointment- I'll pop in to check on u - hope u feel better in the morning Doreen xx

I am going to have to look into my food, I had a peek at the scales today and have only lost 1/2. That was about 12 noon and I had not eaten or drunk up to the point because of the blood test. Got to cut down somewhere me thinks.

Maybe 1 egg and 1 bread and mushrooms or beans. Hospital tomorrow for my eyes so may start tomorrow. I can take a banana with me in case I get peckish. Have today to think about it.

I'm the same Doreen - not had the best day today - see what u think!

RED DAY

b: apple and banana
l: at a cafe - bowl of veg soup and half a bap filled with ham & cheese ( my friend and i went to a deli which has a cafe & they sell that duo as a special! but why did I choose it?)
Not sure how many syns in the soup, also whilst the bread wd be a heb, cheese a hea, but ? syns in the butter/marg - why didn't ask for none? had a black coffee with just a splash of milk at least no dessert!
t: chicken, baked potato, lettuce, cherrytoms, cucumber (same as yest!)
tiny piece if choc brownie, 2 tsps ice cream syns? so small not really worth it!
snack: orange, banana, then just now I had 2 slices of bread toasted with apricot jam (no butter) why??

oh dear another SW day down the drain! Feel fatter too esp around my tum! 2moro's another day!

 

[upndown]

hexa milk hexb 60g wm bread

Bi breakfast - blood test 10.30

L; 2 eggs, 2 bacon lots mushroom. toast.

S: pear & coffee when I got up.

D: Minced beef with carrots & onion, broccoli & small spud.
Banana,

2 pears & mullerlight.

bread was xtra 5g so (1/2 syn)

A really good day Doreen - only half a syn too - you'll see from my post I had loads - perhaps I could have ur 14.5 remaining syns please lol! xx

 

[upndown]

They sound interesting.... will bear it in mind if I need a free snack, or are they counted as syns? I seem to recall a discussion on that kind of thing a while back but cant' remember what.

When I was going to SW class the were free - don't think it'd be classed as 'food abuse' as u can't really eat raw potato - not even me on a bad day!xx

Morning all.
Just a quickie. Hurrah no ice or heavy frost here this morning, no cleaning of the car then. Wow just seen some tv. Lots of snow in Sheffield. Please please don`t send it down here.

Will pop back when I get back from hospital.

 

[strawberry]

Morning Doreen, hope the snow stays away for you.. we haven't had any either thankfully but it is forecast.
Hope it goes well at the hospital x

Funny you should say that - just posting about them was enough to make me make some - they're flipping lovely - but a pain to make - I made 1 potato's worth (average size that I'd use for a baked potato) and got a heaped cereal bowl full - so about the size of a pack of crisps or more maybe?

but even tho I sliced them as thin as I could I ended up cooking them for 3 mins then turned them (they stick otherwise) at first cooking for 1 further minute and turning them - but got fed up so cooked them for 2 mins a time - took about 30 mins in the end cos when they were raw/sliced - they filled 2 dinner plates full - but worth it!!

I'm no potato expert but have been told you have to use potatoes that chip well - I used those red skinned Rooster potatoes tonight and they were fine but remember ages ago using new potatoes and they didn't work.

How bad is that tho' - just came on Minis to say hello - then planned to go to bed - now eaten crisps and late for bed! Hope they work for you.

Yes they do taste like ready salted - but more like the good quality ones probably cos I cdn't slice them as thin as the W----r's etc brands. Wow what a long post!xx

Lol dont worry xx will try these later today i think x

No snow and no sun which is good as I have my eye dilated for the test. I did get seen very quickly but I have to go back on 4th Feb for some lasering on my right eye as it is leaking. Could not be done today as I was seen before my time I would have had to wait a very long time. The doc said he was going to put on my notes that I get very anxious and must have early appointments.

The one on the 4th is 9.20. Ihad to be seen within 6 weeks. I will be seen 2nd which is really good.

Thanks! Random question, But on most threads I've read there is nothing about the amount of water people drink. I religously try to drink 2 litres of water aday. When I stop drinking water I start putting weight back on. Do any of you fab Slimming world'ers calculate your water intake too?

The short answer from me is no. I think I should but I usually drink coffee all day long with diet lemonade sometimes.
I drink more water in the summer but don`t even think about it most of the time,. Maybe I should even if only 1 litre. Good point tho Stacey.

I am just going to settle with a coffee.

I was supposed to go to a meeting tonight at 5pm. When I was leaving the house it was not quite dark but I could not see because of the lights on the other cars. My eye had to be dilated as I said and they have not closed properly yet and it would have been too dangerous to drive, if fact I could not drive.. I expect they will phone me in the morning, I am supposed to attend for 5 weeks. oh well..

I.used to drink loads but now i dont lol more to do with increased toilet trips lol

Toilet trips are a pain, I have a weak bladder anyway, especially since having children and getting older too.

Lol oh i remember these so well, Especially when i jumped on the lemon water band wagon which was fab, but I just never managed to make it a permanet habit! Once I got into routine of drinking the water loo visits slowed down. Now i normally only have constant trips if I haven't eaten enough!

I have strict 1 in 1 out rule with my drinks! Lol x
