Weight-Loss New WLF Team Challenge

I fancied the sausages - but knew that they would send the sodium to the limit as I knew that I was looking as 1200mg sodium in the sausages alone... I figured that I could have higher food if I fancied it because of the salsa exercise...

Like Sunday - I am going to have no chance of getting any sodium points today.

We are eating in a restaurant tonight - and I fully expect the meal to be high sodium... There is no way of knowing what the numbers are - but it will be high sodium and high calorie.

I am actually not in any mood to eat particularly healthily... I spent an hour yesterday in the dentist's chair getting my broken tooth drilled in preparation for a crown being fitted. There was a problem with the temporary crown (it broke while being fitted) so the dentist made another one that has since broken up too. I am currently trying to contact the dentist...

I have been taking prescription painkillers to try to numb the pain...

Add in the fact that I am full of cold and have been up half the night - and you will see that I am feeling pretty sorry for myself. We have to go out to dinner as it is a business meeting and needs to be done... At the minute - a high calorie soft meal like chicken korma sounds very appealing... I have pretty much settled on the notion that I deserve it...

I know how those crowns go, Omega. I had all my wisdom teeth removed a few years ago and the oral surgeon ended up breaking one of my back molars at the same time. It's called a "cap" here. I have relatively straight teeth (never needed braces, luckily) and the temporary cap I had shifted all my teeth because it was a little too big. You're lucky you have meds for the pain; I had to wait 3 weeks for the permanent cap and the entire time I had pressure on all my other teeth from that temp and it sucked. But trust me, once you get the permanent one on, you'll feel so much better without that ache in your mouth.
 
Food 26/6

L: "light" egg sandwich (275)
D: pizza (890)
S: 2 satsumas (80)

I've failed on the sodium every day. I love salt! I've been drinking my water and doing my exercise each day but can't get my sodium right!
 
Thanks Belinda... I'm having a real pity party here...

I was back to the dentists yesterday - and got another temp crown made which doesnt fit right... Little bits have started breaking off this one too which is ominous - so I am wondering how it will hold up... The new proper crown is not due to be fitted until 18th July so that is great... I am stuck with this until after my wedding anniversary on 12th July... Part of me is wondering how the proper one will fit...

I ate really badly last night - so not only am I not in a position to claim any sodium points - at the minute I do not feel like taking ownership of my food for yesterday either... :piggy: I am talking very badly... :banghead: I really did not hold back at the restaurant at all... :piggy::piggy::piggy::piggy:

The fact that my mouth made eating a bit awkward didnt put me off at all... I was persistent and kept on eating for about three hours...

If I edit this later to put in all the food - people will see what I mean... :svengo:

My only points for Wednesday as things stand are
exercise - I went walking in the daytime and did an hour of zumba
and water since I drank 2 ltrs of sparkling water (apple) and 1 ltr of tap water...

My mouth is still bothering me and I am absolutely full of cold / flu... I ache all over and am coughing up green phlegm...

I had another bad night's sleep... I have been up since 3:30am and wasnt in bed until about 1am...

I am seriously considering doing no exercise today - which is pretty much unheard of for me...
 
You shouldn't push yourself if you're sick, Omega. Maybe you should consider giving your body a break for a day and recuperate. It's no fun doing all that physical activity if you're not feeling well.
 
Food log (6/27):
Breakfast
Slimfast shake (210mg sodium)

Didn't log the rest of the day, so no points.

Haven't had a good weekend! Sorry for not posting! Will do my food log for today later tonight and will update my weight. How's everyone else?
 
I've still got flu and am doing basically nothing...

I'm eating badly, not doing exercise and ache all over...

However badly people are doing - they will be doing better than me...
 
Sorry guys for being MIA. I have been having very busy weeks. SWAMPED!!
We just went to MA for one day. 22 hour round trip driving! Exhausted. We found an apartment though - so mission accomplished.
I will update the score sheet in a bit.
 
Thanks for all the good wishes...
Its nearly 3pm and I am still in my pyjamas...

I'll give everyone a few more days to get the scores in.

Also - I know what TOM is like so people can pick and choose which weight to post from any over the last few days and indeed the next few days... I don't want people to feel like they are punished by mother nature...

good idea! :)

Everyone can remind themselves of the points structure in the first posting of this thread... I had to ask San to remind me of a couple of the aspects of it and she told me what she could remember...

I put a reminder of the mini challenge points available in the first posting of the scoresheet thread.
 
2/7

L: marmite sandwich, crisps, apple
D: smoked sausage pasta, garlic bread
S: bottle wine.

Not a fab day for eating! Did an hour in the gym though :D
 
Hi Sunflower

The challenge ended with Saturday's weighing.

We are giving everyone a few days to get scoresheets updated - then I will go through and do all the adding up...

The big thing to be doing is to check that you have claimed all the points that you can.

I am giving everyone a bit of flexibility to choose a weighing from the latter part of last week or from early this week as being the final weighing of the challenge... I well remember what it is like to be hit by TOM and see a huge gain at the scales just as the challenge final weighing takes place...

Also - remember that points are allocated for things like a photo from the start of the challenge and the end of the challenge.

Also - there are points riding on the goal that you said that you wanted to achieve for the challenge...
 
If people want another challenge - I will run one...

I am laid up with flu at the minute so I will need a little gap of a couple of weeks first.

Post in here if you want one.
 
*raises hand* I would love a new one :D Feel better soon lovely xx
