Lose Lockdown Lard with Slimming World.

maman

Absolutely thrilled for you @bubbs!! That's brilliant news!! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 You'd better be careful not to slip below your new target! 🤣 I don't suppose your SAS logs will be helpful this past week as you've had a good loss but do let us know if the consultant comments on anything. I think she deserves new joiners as she certainly takes her job seriously. 

I've got some LO pork casserole to eat up as I've not been home for lunch since Wednesday! I'll do some extra mushrooms and courgette to pad it out and add more Speed. I did eventually get a bit hungry late last night so had a very small JP with cottage cheese and spring onions.  Back on plan today but it's Saturday so will be having wine syns.😁

We're having garlic mushrooms tonight @joedenise. Like you, I don't use anything like a full HEA of Primula (that would be a whole tube for DH and myself) but I do add a bit of Parmesan for extra cheesiness. 

Today's EE plan-
B- NAS grapefruit squash, skinny syrup, banana (F), HEB porridge, HEA1 milk, strawberries (S)
L- LO pork casserole (P,S) with noodles (F)
D- Fake KFC (P), cubed potatoes (F), garlic mushrooms with HEA2, asparagus, TS broccoli, tomato (S)
Syns- weekend wine

Well done Bubbs, wish I could say the same but once again it’s half on 😤
Hubby had his vein scan (for fistula) on Monday, hosp rang yesterday to say surgery on coming Tuesday 😱. Had to be cancelled though as going to Addenbrookes for transplant assessment on Monday so wouldn’t be able to isolate 😵‍💫 booked for 14th Sept which is awkward as I’m back at work 😤. Got a new Headteacher so not sure how empathetic she will be!
Anxiety goes up every time the phone rings (concerning hubby) these days 🥴
Also fatigue is crippling me, I’ve done nothing but sleep this holiday 🥺

Hugs TIE; I certainly wouldn't be worrying about your weight at the moment you've got loads on your mind with hubby.  Do hope things work out for you.  Hopefully your new Head will be empathetic to your situation.  I can well understand your anxiety with phone calls, it must be awful.  Sleep is good for you, just make the most of it while you can.  It's not that long until you'll be back at work.

Have been to physio lunchtime and didn't get back home until nearly 2.30 by the time I'd done a bit of shopping.  It's definitely much easier without DH constantly going "what else is on the list?"!  Think I may have to change my shopping days each week so that I end up taking and collecting DH at the golf club and doing the shopping while he's there!  That's OK as long as it isn't a silly o'clock start!  

I've now got 3 or 4 exercises to do with 5 repeats of each a couple of times a day.  One of the exercises the triage physio sent to me which I only did once because it was too painful he said not a problem it's not the best exercise for the problems I've got!  Apparently I've got a few different problems in the shoulder area and if I'd left it much longer I would have ended up with a frozen shoulder on top of the other problems!  I do wish the hospital A&E Dr had said to me that if the pain hadn't gone in a couple of weeks to think about getting some physio.  Apparently I wouldn't be in as much pain if I'd started 2 or 3 weeks ago!

DH has just rung me to say he's just finished the first 9 holes - he was due to start at 12.30 but didn't start until gone 1 o'clock. At this rate it's going to be about 7.30 before I need to go and collect him!  The evening do is supposed to start at 8pm!  Don't think he'll be going to that now as he didn't take anything to change into thinking he'd be finished by about 4.30-5pm!

I hope your new Headteacher makes a good start by showing understanding @TakeItEazy. I agree that you need to take care of yourself to be strong for your DH. Try to eat healthily and if that's SW then fine, but you don't need extra stress. 🤗

I've had a frozen shoulder @joedenise and it was agony. I remember screaming with pain just changing gear. Fortunately I was alone in the car.😁 My GP was just about to give me a cortisone injection when I asked about physio. I'd been swimming on holiday and  had noticed an improvement which gave me the idea . That did the trick. Hope you see improvements soon. 😊

Thanks maman.  I've also had a frozen previously but on the left shoulder.  Ended up having 3 injections!  First 2 given by GP but he put them in the wrong place so didn't really help.  When he said he was going to do another one I refused and asked for a referral where the guy actually scanned my shoulder to work out where it needed to go and since then I've not had any problems with it at all!

The physio said today that he's hoping the exercises and the ultrasound he did will mean that I don't end up needing an injection.  I've got another appointment in just over 2 weeks times.  I've opted for a mid week afternoon appointment so there's less likelihood of clashing with DH's golf and DH actually said last night that it would be good if we could get away for a few days between appointments so not having a weekend appointment also helps with that!

Thanks Maman and TIE.

Maman the plan is, once i get 3lb at the bottom range of target, i will drop by 1/2 stone, hopefully my plan works out . The consultant is nice and does care. When i used to pop in before when i was with other group, she must have had over 100 people there 😱 she also said they are recruiting consultants and instead of £1.5k it's just £250 so they must be desperate!

TIE, I do hope your new head is understanding and hope everything goes well Tuesday x

Denise , glad you got on ok and hope this helps you.

We have had torrential rain this afternoon.

Yummy 😋😋😋😋

That's a good idea to work through targets until you get back to where you want to be @bubbs. Takes a lot of pressure off. 😁

That's interesting about SW dropping the price for new consultants. I suppose like many jobs they've lost people because of Covid who've found something else to make up their income and then don't want to come back.

That's what i thought although i did get a new target certificate and sticker

I think she said said she paid 1.5k in 2009 🤔 she said there are groups ready to be taken over that just have temp consultants

Great news @bubbs
