Well the good news is my wisdom tooth isn't infected. It's just growing in at a slightly strange angle which is making my cheek sore and generally swelling up that area.
The BAD, really poopy news, is that one of my normal teeth is decaying on the inside and I need a filling. But, the decay is so very close to the nerve ending it is 80% likely I will need a root canal. I cried at the dentist when he told me. I'm petrified. I've booked it for the end of May (week I'm off work) and asked Mike to come with me. I'm going to take my headphones so I can close my eyes, turn my music up so I can't hear anything.
He said if I'd caught it earlier it almost certainly would've just been a routine filling which makes me feel like an idiot for not keeping up my dental care.
And it's going to cost over £200. Dental insurance here I come!!!
On weigh in news - I'm confused. My scales told me I'd put on 3lbs, the boots scales said I had sts (and that I'm 45% body fat - YUCK!) and my new scales Mike bought me (because he thinks the old ones are wrong) weighed me in lighter earlier, but I'm going to do it again tomorrow morning to be sure. I'll take that as my weight for this week.
Pretty poopy day and now I'm freezing cold and have a headache :(
I'm at a loss as to what to do next. Since 27/02 I've been taking two steps forward and one step back every fortnight...the overall picture shows I'm losing, but week on week I lose one week and gain the next.
Last week I lost 5lbs, this week I gained 3.
I stick to the plan rigidly. I weigh everything that goes in my mouth - fruit, bread, everything. I exercise in some way shape or form 5-6 days a week (2x swimming, 3-4 x gym and I do 30minutes walks most days Mon-Fri).
I don't fancy swapping to core as I'm not really suited the three meals a day thing - I like to snack and I work away often so have to eat working lunches provided to me.
I drink most of my water, perhaps not 2l every day but definately 1.5l a day.
I'm not sure how I can start seeing losses every week. Surely, I'm plan-perfect?!
Considering weighing in every fortnight, but not sure I can go without my weekly WI!
Wow, killed it at swimming (well...relatively killed it considering I had lost use of one of my legs) - 32 lengths! Better than normal weeks! Neddy had a fab week and hit 44 lengths - so now she's thrown down the gauntlet and we have a new challenge for Thursday!
Still have a spotty face and I now have the affectionately named 'CRATER' in the middle of my right cheek where I've picked and picked and picked until there is nothing but scab left. Very unsightly. And impossible to cover up with concealer!
Oops. I just upset Mike. He was getting out of the shower and had a towel wrapped round him and I asked to borrow it to dab my face dry...well he told me no and I should wipe my face on the dressing gown! You can imagine my face - most men would love a ladies face down by their crotch!! - so I told him to let me use the towel and he told me to stop being stupid. I told him to f**k off. Eek. He's ignoring me now, which is very unusual.
Overall not a good 'Mike day'. I still love him though and will probably go and apologise at some point.
Walking like an invalid today - limping on my leg. Went to aqua aerobics last night despite my hamstring hurting and managed to do some low intensity work. Am going swimming tonight although I doubt very much I'll be able to do a lot.
Work was OK today - I was really tired most of the day and generally irritable. Everyone got on my nerves which is a shame as I'm not usually like that. Hoping an early night tonight will set me right.
I have the dentist tomorrow at 12.20 - pooping myself about it. Hope my general dental hygiene is satisfactory.
Worried about weigh in tomorrow too - hope I manage to lose at least a pound so I'm in the next stone category. I'll be really disappointed with myself if I don't. It was my mini goal to reach 16st 11lbs by the end of April, but I'd be more than happy with 16st 13lbs.
My next mini goal is to be in the 15s by my 23rd birthday on 22 June. So that's 7 WI's (after tomorrow) to lose 14lbs. It's a bit of a tough one - to lose 2lbs a week but hopefully be able to achieve it. Probably step the exercise up a touch.
On that note, I don't think I've been working hard enough at the gym, or my body is incapable of sweating. I mean, I feel like I'm working hard - I do 15 minutes on the bike and am struggling towards the end but I just go a bit red. I don't sweat. Perhaps I should step it up...any thoughts welcomed.
Over and out chappies...see you tomorrow.
EDIT: I forgot to moan about Mike. He's had a healthy, wholesome meal every night since Friday now. Saturday we had beef bourguignon with spuds and veggies, a chicken roast on Sunday, yesterday a jacket spud with chicken and veggies and cottage pie tonight. He's done nothing but moan about how he wants chicken and chips, or 'something' and chips...GRRR. He should think himself lucky that a) he has a variety of foods to eat and b)he has someone at home to cook it up for him! Bloody annoying because I enjoy cooking and I spend time thinking of a nice variety of meals to prepare and I spend a lot of time preparing and cooking and then call him for his tea and he just moans 'too much green on my plate', 'I want chips'.
Feeling a bit more lively this evening. I've been to aqua aerobics tonight - didn't accomplish much as he focussed on legs and my hamstrings are REALLY HURTING STILL. Not sure I'll cope with swimming very well tomorrow - still going to try though. Even if I only achieve 10 lengths it's better than no lengths at all.
My mouth still hurts, but I've booked an appointment with a dentist on Wednesday at lunch so hopefully get something sorted. Pooping myself as I haven't been for about 7 years.
Goddamn face is full of spots and I have no idea why. I drink all my water and eat well - try to get at least 3-4 fruit and veg a day.
Feeling a bit pants today.Woke up last night freezing cold and feeling sick – Mike got me a second duvet.Felt the same this morning so have stayed home.One of my wisdom teeth is a bit swollen too.Feel better this afternoon though after I had a little nap.
Gonna try to get out to aqua aerobics tonight even though my legs are still killing me from Saturday night.It really hurts to sit down!
Good start to the day today – turkey rasher sarnie with brown sauce and just had a tuna mayo sarnie for lunch.Perhaps a bit too much bread though.Going to have breaded chicken steak with a jacktet spud for tea with some veggies.
I really need to get up and do some housework – may as well use my sick day to some use!Feeling tooooo lethargic.
My tooth hurts so I’m thinking of getting in contact with a dentist – EEK! Will let you know how I get on.
I have walking around shops now for about 3 days and do you think I can find anything to wear on a night out. Looking past the fact that almost everything is a t shirt, a strappy top or generally sleeveless day wear...suitable for almost nowhere other than the beach...EVERYTHING is shapeless! Totally shapeless - better suited to accommodating potatoes than my body.
Even Evans who you would think would be more tapped into the minds and bodies of the larger lady just provide shapeless t shirts, or 'nice' tops made of stupid fat hugging material. And their skirts and dresses are horrifically priced.
I had a simple agenda - a new top, with some sleeve (elbow length or full), a bit of glitter maybe and preferably a V neck. I've ended up with some purple dress without sleeves that JUST about makes me look better than a bin bag.
It's ridiculous. Baggy clothes only suit skinny people - the rest of us need something with a little tailoring or, just a nicer cut. And it would be nice to be able to find something other than t shirts - it's not even WARM yet!!!!!
So, rant over. I am vaguely happy with what I got - with a body sock I should look fairly shaped which is the main thing - even if the top is a little on the small side.
To other news -
I ate pizza last night :( It was a veggie one and it was on an italian base so I've guestimated about 15 points (based on looking at the points for other pizza brands). It was within points and I've still banked some for the week so it isn't the end of the world at all.
It's the first 'cheat' I've had in about a month so I think I deserved it and if I work hard I'm sure I'll still lose next week.
Off out tonight at about 9pm, so I've counted myself to have 6 voddies and diet coke. 5 points in total and I'm having a good dinner before I go to try and reduce the cravings for chips after a few bevvies. Surely the dancing will bank me some BPs?!
Off to the gym in a short while. Gonna do some bike, x trainer, treadmill, rower and weights which will also bank me some points for the coming week.
Had a fairly good day today actually. Work went pretty quickly and just come back from a nice swim, where Ned and I accomplished what we originally thought we couldn’t.
Just worked out since 1 Jan I’ve lost 13.5” all over - mostly waist and hips and disappointingly even with all the swimming nothing off my arms! Pleased to see and inch off my thighs each and an inch off the calves though.
I’ve noubt else to say really - nothing interesting anyway that doesn’t relate to diet or exercise. Hmm...how boring.
