Susie's 2022 campaign

[ladyfelsham]

Yes thanks Tessa, some ibuprofen in the night and it's only a twinge now. I guess the jiggler is responsible so will just do it sitting down.

Am also looking into getting a Revitive circulation booster, if I can get one cheap enough on eBay. Really wanted one of these instead of a jiggler, and I think I need to get my knees in a much better state before the jiggler will be of any use (my right knee is really sore today, after just 5 minutes of standing last night, and 5 sitting). I have weak veins in my calves and poor circulation (no exercise because of my knees, plus smoking doesn't help), which is called venous insufficiency and means the blood can't pump back up my leg, so it means my calves are reddy-purple. Not nice to look at, and can lead to ulcers, etc - so that's my main health focus right now.

Food - ON IT (my new mantra lol) -

B - eggy bake
L - chicken salad
D - beef and aubergine bake (from the Take 5 book)
HEA/B - cheese and crackers
Syns - 3 tsp Sweet Freedom (1.5), 2 Hifis - 6 = total 7.5

Have a good one!

Whooo hooo ON IT Susie! Go you xxxxxx

 

[Tessa2000]

Food looks great Susie xx

Sorry to hear the jiggler caused pain. I got a twinge in my lower back after I increased the speed but it went overnight, I put it down to moving a muscle than doesn't normally move.

 

[Tibbs]

Go girl go..woo hoo! On it! Liking your new mantra and approach At least you know what caused the gain and you're going all out to get rid of it again, that's the main thing. We wouldn't be human if we didn't give in to temptation now and then.
Dave had to stop using our vibro plate as he's pins in his spine and it seemed to aggravate hip and knee pain after a while. The gym staff don't seem to know enough about them to comment, his consultant didn't either and just said stay off it.
Food is looking spot on Suzie X

Love the new mantra - the gain is not too bad, you could have that off this week. 4 more stone by Feb is totally achievable and you will feel fabulous if you manage it. Food sounds good - especially the beef and aubergine bake.

Sorry your back is hurting - hope that resolves soon

 

[ladyfelsham]

Thanks for your support ladies - kisses all round!

My back is a load better thanks, drugs helped LOL. But I do think it was the vibroplate, so will hold off on that for a bit. Got some Revitives bookmarked on eBay so hopefully one will stay cheap and I'll try that instead.

The beef and aubergine bake is being assembled as we speak - will report back.

 

[Elanor]

I'm glad to hear your back is feeling better! Back pain is horrible! The Take 5 book, is that the SW one? How much is it, as I quite fancy getting it, but didn't get a chance to look at it on Monday. xx

 

[Tessa2000]

How do you do the Aubergine bake?

 

[Lottie12]

I have looked at quite a few youtube videos of vibroplate experts and they all say vibroplates are really helpful for many but anyone with knee or back problems should steer clear as they can really agrivate the problem. And they should be used on a low setting with slowly increased periods of time on them. So,yes I'd stay off it right now Susie x

 

[AliGal]

Digging out my old circulation booster.....if I remember rightly, you have to use it a lot regularly to get any benefit. I don't watch much tv these days so not sure when I'll do it...Thank for the prompt - may help with the oedema in my legs.

I really like it El, there's some yummy recipes and easy as . The bake was scrumptious and makes four good - very filling - serves.

It's all looking good!

And I've finally found the Rye Cakes locally. Yay.
Those with Marmite and Philly Light or Laughing Cow are pretty good to use up the HXs for a filling snack.
Thank you!

I am well impressed with a reci[pe I just tried - really fancied something cakey, so I made the PoN carrot cake - http://pinchofnom.com/recipes/syn-f...yn-free-cream-cheese-frosting-slimming-world/ - and it is delicious! If you use your HEB, it's syn free too . I didn't have a muffin pan so made it in a small baking dish, and it's made 8 good servings yum! And yes one has a small bite out of it LOL.

 

[ladyfelsham]

Morning all

Up and ready for the day after a decent sleep. Batch cooking is the order of the day - slow cooker lamb curry, spicy pork meatballs and chicken supreme, or maybe mini kievs - haven't decided yet. Mr Sainsburys is coming, and also an order from Next for a bathroom towel rack and mirror - so by this time next week I can do the Big Reveal of my 'new' bathroom .

B - eggs and bacon
L - chicken, cabbage, courgetti, toms
D - maybe the lamb with spinach
Syns - light!

Have a good one xx
