I feel... normal

Well as normal as I can! I slept right through last night, only waking up when the phone started beeping as its battery was running out. I'd forgotten to put it back onto its base after using it in the afternoon. At around 7.30am Mr H set off for the train station to go to London and I was aware of something that tasted like the dentist had been in my mouth.

Yup, you've guessed it, that thing on my gum has started to seep. I guess I should be thankful that all I can taste is the antisceptic stuff the dentist put into the tooth, but its still gross! I can barely step away from a sink and a glass of salty water for more than about a minute and its been like this since I got up this morning. Still better out than in I suppose!

In other news, this is what my scales now say. This is what my initial weight loss target was. 2 stones down from my starting weight.


Now of course this is only 0.5lbs down from my start of the month weight, but its nearly 4lbs down from AF bloat which has subsided now. I guess I should be thankful that by my limited food intake in the past few days I've hopefully not done too much damage to the ol' lean muscle mass. Yesterday evening I ate more pasta bake than I think anyone should have, especially when all I'd eaten prior to that was mashed bananas. It was a Homepride Jar sauce and it made me feel so much better. Something about it basically cooking itself when I was feeling crappy really made my day.

I hope that this weekend I can start to live a slightly more normal life, I've got an appointment to get my hair cut tomorrow morning and perhaps on Sunday I'll try a little light weight training - but of course only if I've managed to eat a proper days worth of food before then.

Finally, remember this post? I noticed last night that the advert had changed ever so slightly with this as the last screen shot.


I wonder if they had complaints about the slogan 'because who has time to slim slowly?'.

  1. There's a weird optical illusion going on with that pic, it looks like your scales are on the wall and the wall is the ceiling! Or maybe it's my eyes...
    Anyway, glad you're feeling more like yourself! It's been a crummy few days for you, take it easy getting yourself back to normal x

  3. Yeah, it could have been alot worse. At one point I was considering melting a huge bar of chocolate to consume! Even the Creamy Tomato & Herb pasta bake sauce was better than that :)
