Quins; back to the plan.

Spoke to soon, had a mini binge on quality street...6.....


Feeling quite drained, sore throat, heavy limbed. Woke up early but now struggling to come round.

Oh no @Quins i hope you feel better soon- chill out and relax for a bit :) you've got to get yourself better first so bugger the food until you feel better, you know you can get it off!!

Last years quote "So, it's been since May? Wow, no wonder I wandered off track, lost focus and have gone up to 13'7! What with a heavy run into Xmas , beers, liaison, curries....it's no wonder"

It's sounding very familiar this year, busy social run in to Xmas, no focus on what I was putting into my mouth other than everything... I've enjoyed it, but looking forward to getting back on track.
 
Still feeling rough, sore throat, glands swollen , worse at 6pm onwards. 2 out of 3 kids full of it too.

Turkey soup is doing its thing. Lovely.

I get on plan for half a day then tempted by the left over sweets and nuts in the evening... Curbed the booze.

Looking forward to feeling tip top.

Mucking out and shift hay bales today, sweaty. Lovely day but feel turned now.

More turkey soup in the slow cooker, it's a real winner with everyone at home. Packed with veg.

Were all ok thanks Quins, I'm still back and forth to the hospital with headaches, my latest MRI shows an abnormality on my lower jaw! No idea what as I'm still waiting for a further appointment. whatever it is causes me no bother so watch this space.

I hate razor throats Garr
 
What a quest @Texty_F hope you find a way forward. @Trefoil im feeling properly man flued up, still got aches pains, shivers that come on with a vengeance at night, Mrs Quins is the same....

I've been using my fitness pal app to see what my calorific intake should be, I'm not eating enough....that's probably because I'm ill. The plates of food I have had look like kids dinners... Won't harm for a few days. I'm sure my appetite will get back to normal.....in the next week or so. Just want rid of this cough , sore throat and rotten thumping head as well.

You know I had a bad cough September time & it took weeks to go, DD also had it & we're both not sickly people, so I reckon its a pretty bad virus out there which is still doing the rounds.

Ohhh dear, you'll soon get rid of that, the better weather will be here soon so you can get out cycling more.
 
Managed to get to see the health centre nurse, more for Mrs Quins she has been really struggling with the cough poor thing. Also confirmed that my sinuses are stuffed full, no sh!t Sherlock ? Decongestant for me , throat spray and codeine based cough med for Mrs Q.
