OV Slimming Club part 2

Paula if your calf is swollen, red or hot or if you can't flex your toes towards you without the pain increasing go to A+E NOW!!!!!!!!
Pain killers may only mask the symptoms and I would hate you to have a DVT!!!!!!!!!

OMG Liz are those the symptoms of a possible DVT?

I felt very strange/unwell this evening so gone a bit of plan[msnscared] here is my diary anyway[msnembarrased]

Porridge
Skinny latte
Fresh pineapple
Chicken salad with yogurt as dressing
Skinny latte
A bowl of cereal and 2 slices of wholemeal toast (no butter) with apricot jam[msnembarrased]

2 litres of water[clap]

Why is it when you feel poorly only toast will do[msnwink]

[mizzy]

hope you are both ok Paula and you too Julie[grouphug]

Julie i think your right about the toast when your poorly thing, i've had toast for supper with ginger jam, well i didn't get my morning fix[msnwink] didn't bother with the chinese at all, so it's been just the strawbs earlier and the toast for me today, hopefully i will be back to normal tommorow

at the moment i'm still fairly shaky and am being policed very closely by dh

so i've logged on quickly whilst he's distracted watching Rocky 2[msnembarrased]

expecting to be told off any minute [msnscared]

For Julie, Paula and Mizzy[grouphug][grouphug], hope you are all feeling better soon.

Reporting in with my food diary -

Breakfast scrambled egg and toast

Lunch ryvita and dairylea cheese triangles and apple

For dinner I made the creamy veg and quorn lasange from the slimming mag and it was [sick][sick][sick], myself and the girls wouldn't eat it, but Peter did, but then he eats anything I put in front of him. I had some quorn minted lamb grills in the fridge so quickly made them with SW chips and salad. For pud I got a small flan case and filled it with very low fat strawberry yog and sliced strawberries, not sure how many sins but not many.

Yesterday I had the full 15 sins, haven't had many all week so didn't feel guilty. Must of been the monthly munchies so not expecting great results this week.

No swelling or feeling hot, toes are OK. Just very painful when walking.

Welcome to the sick bay! [grouphug] for all those not feeling well, Paula you are being v quiet, hope you have not had to spend hours at A&E. Mizzy get well soon, let DH boss you around he knows what he is doing, and Julie hope you are feeling better tomorrow.

Sally have just finished roaring with laughter at your description of sw lasagne, glad I am not the only one to serve up revolting food when on a diet - anyone tried Carol Vordermans? Don't - did her curry one day - absolutely revolting and completely inedible - I think we ended up with a takeaway which rather defeated the object of the exercise!!

Must get off to bed and not be too long on here as need to be up early walking the hounds before I get down to Winchester for watch Janny. DH has cancelled golf in view of rain, so he can be I/C relcatriant YD and ensure she does some work[gun]!!

Morning Everyone, Julie B here!

Sorry to hear you're all a bit poorly!

After all my moaning and groaning I weighed myself this morning and I've lost 2LBs. [clap] I'm soo pleased. I don't know what I've done differently other than had a couple of potatoes (just boiled) with my salad and not done nearly as much on the treadmill. Doesn't make sense does it? The body is a strange thing!

I went to a shop called Costco in Reading yesterday. Has anyone heard of it? Its a cash and carry place, but they do really good quality fresh fruit and veg. It makes eating salads bearable! The peppers and apples are to die for. Its quite a long way to go for me but its worth it!

I'm just off to walk my dogs now (black lab called Pip and black and white springer called Tia). Have a good day everyone!

[janny]

Morning girls Sorry I haven't been around much this week had a family funeral to attend and other bits going on so I don't know where the time has gone.
Still I have been very good this week and even resisted all the lovely food at the wake .
As Fiona says to day is my race for life I hope my leg stands upi to it -it is nice and sunny here so it always helps an injury to have a bit of warmth.
I do kow this eatingstyle is working thougjh -I was clearing out some clothes to take to donate today and I came across a pair of trousers I couldn't get on at christmas so was going to add them to the bag but decided to try them -and they fit beautifully ! I am so pleased I liked thiose trousers.

I will report in when I get back later today think of me around 11.00
