Jewels, welcome back, nice to see you on board again! Big Grin

So, I have been really good lately, cutting out all coffee, even if it is decaf. I have invested in some nettle tea, Sue, this is great! I don't know why I have not bought it ages ago. I really like the taste and the fact that it is good for you, even better! :thumbs:

Hope you all have a smashing day!

Thanks Cubbie and Dolla

I really don't know what is wrong with me. Sad

Have been ill for the last month and nothing seems to be helping. Spent 6 hours in hospital on Tues night having every test imaginable......blood, ECG, chest x-rays etc
They couldn't find anything and said it's likely that I have some sort of virus...the only cure of which is plenty rest!! Rolleyes

Seems strange when I have a fever, a stiff neck, swollen glands in my neck, heart palpitations etc.

As for food.....I haven't really felt like eating properly for the past month so I've probably lost a few kg's....although haven't been able to go to the gym, so maybe not!! Big Grin


oh no gregg - what have they said? maybe it is stress related - altho u might not feel it, u know with the job move and that, it can soemtimes manifest in other ways ?

hope u get better soon

I have been very good today, no M&M's.........yet Big Grin
I can't explain what the nettle tea tastes like, it definitely does not smell to good, but I just lurve the taste! Smile
I am off to the gym tonight, so will probably have something light for dinner, with my M&M's.

Sorry have not been on here for a while. My get fit regine started in ernest this week.

Have cut down on all coffee, tea etc. The only hot drink I have which is first thing in the morning is warm boiled water and lemon juice. Works wonders to clear the organs out

At the moment I am not doing anything too complicated at the gym am on a program mainly to get fit and reduce my hrt rate. Yep I am extremely unfit. . I am hoping to be able to go to the gym at least 3 times a week.


Gregg hope you feel better soon.

jewels have you moved jobs sorry missed alot.

Good morning all!

Wow, what a weekend, eating wise I was absolutely rubbish, had ice cream and other treats yesterday, well I had to treat myself after running my first marathon! :haha:

I am back to eating healthy, I think I have gained a kilo or two, the trousers are a bit tighter :eek:

So cutting out all dairy and caffeine for a bit, luckily I don't eat a lot of carbs, so I am lucky that way...
Wish me luck! Big Grin
