Sandra's maintenance diary.....

[SandraB]

Was going to have a proper lunch but Paul came home to take me shopping.....when I got back I just wanted something quick to take my medication with so toast it was!

Can't believe that it used to be my favourite food, I'm sick of it now!

 

[JanD]

Shame we can't get that way about chocolate isn't it?

You two okay now?? xx

 

[summergurl]

Read today price of choc could go up.... I'm secretly hoping it does lol would that put you off?!

 

[JanD]

NOPE!! xx

 

[kered]

If it quadrupled in price - maybe - ;-)

 

[SandraB]

Don't eat enough of it tbh, cheese is horrifically expensive (or so it seems) but I still happily spend a fiver on a chunk of something that I love!

Hi Sandra. Just caught up on your news in here. Really sorry that you're having a bit of a time of it at the moment. It's understandable that you feel as you do though, and you have been through a lot what with the op, and no doubt all the pain you were in before that will have have also taken its toll. Things have a nasty habbit of eventually catching up with you, and I know when I've been laid up in the past from ops, and then all the recovery afterwards, it's hard work! Sounds like you need a huge big dose of TLC and someone to look after you a bit. If I were closer, I'd come and do it! Be kind to yourself hun and look after yourself. Big ((hugs)) xx

 

[SandraB]

Thanks darling. TBH I think I had a couple of days of overdoing it cos I felt great....then I didn't and so felt sorry for myself! Still doesn't excuse Paul from bring a total arse though! I think it's cos I've had so many ops in the last five years (5!) that he's just fed up with it all......but it won't be forever....

Here's to a happy and healthier 2011!

Thursday's food

B branflakes and milk, small OJ, two coffees
L 100% steak burger with a fried egg on top.....sort of like a cooked version of steak tartare! Actually it was delicious and entirely my own, iron-rich, invention. A muller light strawberry yogurt. Vitamin C drink
D home-made chilli con carne with rice, the last of the rum n raisin ice cream.....thank god that's gone
2 Lindor, white ones!

Had physio in the pool this morning and then a massage by this gorgeous young man (cue Harry Enfield voice) if I had been 25 years younger......I'd have had him on that massage table etc! As it was, he's young enough to be my son so I behaved myself......fantastic massage though on all my sore bits and will apparently work on reducing the inflammation and fluid build up in my hip. If nothing else I have beautifully soft thighs and bum and will be good for my cellulite, though I can't see it I'm sure it's there

 

[JanD]

OO ER MISSIS!!! Sounds rather enjoyable

Love the sound of your steak burger. xx

 

[summergurl]

Me too mmmm :drool:
Now about that massuse, pass over his digits haha

 

[JanD]

:giggle: xx

 

[SandraB]

Hands off...he's mine, all mine! Must be a good sign that I actually noticed that he was gorgeous....wife and two little kids though.....

Jan, try the steak burger, it was actually left over from Summer BBQ and I don't know how it would ww pointBut it was delicious and really filling with no need for any bread or additional carbs!

Friday's food

B branflakes and milk, small OJ, two coffees
L ham & pea soup, blue riband wafer
D enormous Chinese! Large vodka and diet coke.......brother in law poured it and one was enough
4 Lindor!!

Am absolutely stuffed after the Chinese and laying prostrate on the sofa.......feel bloated and yuk for the first time since August and I don't like it one little bit

 

[JanD]

I know it's horrible that feeling isn't it?! Hope you have no after effects and are able to enjoy tomorrow!!! I'm sure you will. Have a great day xxx

 

[SandraB]

Fine this morning thanks Jan, just made some porridge for breakfast as I don't plan on serving lunch until 2pm and I don't want to nibble in-between .....one thing's for sure I really don't intend to pig out at lunch cos the feeling was horrid and not one I wish to repeat!

 

[JanD]

Good lesson there then

Hope you're having a great time - sorry about the Lindors/your sister .... I told you saving them and rationing yourself wasn't a good idea xx

 

[SandraB]

Well have had two days eating anything I wanted! Had porridge for brekkie both days, proper Xmas lunch with all the trimmings but only nibbled a couple (about 6!) chocs after that, no turkey sarnies as I was too stuffed!

Had lots of cold turkey and leftover piggies for lunch, no bread but had a cold stuffing ball, and a couple of home-made mince pies with brandy custard for my tea as didn't fancy anything else! Haven't had a drink today as we were on our own and Paul doesn't really drink so I didn't bother. May have finished the white Lindor, pleased that they're out of the way as I was worried at how addictive they are!

Did a mad thing this morning and weighed myself.....was 3lbs up, hopefully that will only be temporary, it feels awful!

Back to recording tomorrow.....going to start ww on 3rd January if I can find the paperwork which I still haven't read!

Happy Boxing Day all x

 

[kered]

Oooh Sandra, I know that stuffed feeling. I was like that after Xmas Lunch too - not nice eh!

I will be there on WW with you the day after you hun. Dont worry about the 3lb gain, I am sure that will soon disappear, probably water retention after over-doing it a little.
