Thank God for antibiotics. It is funny to think that not that long ago there was no such thing. I have no idea how people used to cope.
I am pleased to hear that things are improving. You are doing really well to get any exercise in while all that is going on. We all know that it helps us - and helps us to feel better about ourselves if only we can be bothered - but pain has a way of making us not be able to be bothered.

Tuesday was a another well controlled day. I did eat a proper meal which was healthy. I managed to have some extra water again. Tuesday tends to be a very busy day for me with various appointments. I did my long walk on the treadmill first thing and then headed out. I didnt get home and have my breakfast until after 2pm.
Main meal was a pork loin steak and a tin of baked beans. Otherwise I had 3 weetabix, skimmed milk and sweetener, 3 * 0% yoghurts, sugar free jelly and fruit. A few sugar free sweets and some sugar free chewing gum.

Wednesday was an altogether less well controlled. I have caught a bad cold / flu from Rod and it does not make things easy. I did eat a proper meal which was healthy. I managed to have some extra water again. I did all my walking on the treadmill.
Main meal was dusted plaice and a tin of baked beans. Otherwise I had 3 weetabix, skimmed milk and sweetener, 4 * 0% yoghurts, sugar free jelly and fruit. A few sugar free sweets and some sugar free chewing gum. In addition - far too many raisins, lots of fresh orange juice (which is high GI and therefore not recommended for me), some honey and I did pick at other cereal.

Thursday continued the less well controlled theme. I did eat a proper meal which was healthy. I managed to have some extra water again. I had to go to the shops so did my pilates class anyway - but did my morning walk on the treadmill. All that I can say is that when I am poorly I can get an uncontrollable desire to eat bread!!!!
Main meal was roast pork, bisto gravy, carrot, onion, cauliflower, broccoli, cabbage. I skipped my weetabix because I knew that I would be eating bread anyway. Had a tin of soup with bread in, made a bread pudding - my share was using 0.5 pint skimmed milk, 1 egg, raisins, small amount of olive spread to grease the dish and sweetener. 3 * 0% yoghurts, sugar free jelly and fruit. A few sugar free sweets and some sugar free chewing gum. In addition - far too many raisins and lots of fresh orange juice (which is high GI and therefore not recommended for me).

Sounds a good idea getting rid of the points system. Rod and I are feeling much better thanks. I am pleased to see that you are too. I was getting a little lonely in the thread by myself.
I am trying to lose the weight that I put on when I had flu. We always believe in feeding any illness in this house. My self control diminishes and I gain weight - especially with no exercise from Friday to Tuesday inclusive. I am still losing the same pounds that I lost before we went to Greece. It all gets a bit repetitive.

Here is a quick catch up posting to zoom through the past week. Far too much cereal and raisins pretty much every day. Thankfully we are out of raisins now and I am not buying any more.
Exercise:
No exercise until Wednesday. A basic 7 miles each day since. A pilates class on Thursday.
No junk food as most people understand it - but I ate plenty of healthy stuff in a very uncontrolled way.
Plenty calcium. On a couple of days I didnt have any weetabix - so no milk - but I eat tons of 0% yoghurt and I had supplements on any days that had a deficit.
Water:
3.5 litres a day until Monday. 3 litres a day from Tuesday onwards.
5-a-day:
Tons of fruit and veg every day.
Weight on Tuesday:
9st 11.8 or 137.8 pounds - well up on the previous week.

Cerella - Well done for getting to grips with the 5-a-day idea. I really have so much fruit it is silly.
Here is a quick catch up posting to zoom through the past week or so.
Exercise:
A basic 7 miles each day pretty much every day - most days on the treadmill. I have not been doing much more than that though. A pilates class on Thursday.
No junk food. Have been really pleased with the way that I have been back on track this past week.
Plenty calcium. I had my weetabix with lots of skimmed milk every day. I know that my weetabix plus 2 yoghurts gets me to my target. I have been having at least 4 yoghurts every day - and a couple of days saw me have 6 of them.
Water:
3 litres of water every day.
5-a-day:
Tons of fruit and veg every day.
Weight on Tuesday:
9st 7.4lbs i.e. 133.4 pounds on Tuesday 14/10/2008
9st 4.8lbs i.e. 130.8 pounds on Tuesday 21/10/2008
I am almost down to the weight that I was before I went on holiday in August. I am hoping to get back to my low weight of 9st3.0 i.e. 129 pounds before too long.
The question is whether I can keep my hand out of the cereal box and away from the raisins over the next week.
