PollyPooic · 10/02/2015 11:41

why am I worried about going to the new (but have been a member more than once before in years gone by) gym? I have butterflies in my tummy and I feel sick Confused

Ennn · 10/02/2015 11:43

It's probably just the depression making you anxious.

Hi again. Work is awkward #understatement.

But she emailed me, so at least I can get my job done.

Ennn · 10/02/2015 11:56

Glad to hear she emailed Toothy.

Millie2013 · 10/02/2015 12:27

Bit anxious today, trying to channel it. How's you?

Ennn · 10/02/2015 12:31

Depressed and hungover, but I am at least out of bed now Smile

DP is happy because the new graphics card has arrived. So that's today's activities sorted Hmm We are reinstalling Windows too, deep joy of joys. How about you, any plans for this afternoon?

Millie2013 · 10/02/2015 12:39

Just remembering to pick up
DD at 4 :D

PollyPooic · 10/02/2015 13:49

what happened about your care coordinator in the end enn, are they coming to you?

gym induction was a bit tedious but then I was free to row 5k, it has been a while, did it in 26:53 so nobody will be demanding a dope test any time soon but is an ok time by me

lunch is yellowfin tuna steak (2 for £3 in waitrose at the moment) with mixed veg, 1tsp ginger, 1tsp soy sauce, chilis to come to about 275 cal

would like to improve on nutritional value of yesterday's calories which were almost entirely fruit pastilles

Ennn · 10/02/2015 14:16

Got a text telling me an appt has been made for me on Thursday and I had to ring to say I could get there. They recognise my voice there now Hmm

Fruit pastilles are fine; they say you should eat a rainbow. Though I suspect you now have no mouth skin left. They're almost as bad as the Quaver/prawn cracker family.

lunch for me was chicken foo yung

At least that's what DP said it was. Eggs and chicken and value stirfry veg and soy sauce and things.

PollyPooic · 10/02/2015 14:23

I have neglected eggs lately - omelette tonight hopefully

how do you log things when other people make them for you and there are lots of different ingredients that they might not track exact quantities of? can you guesstimate?

even if you do weigh everything there is still a lot of guesstimation isn't there

PollyPooic · 10/02/2015 14:24

the pastilles were lovely but I can't lie, a few of them went into the fire where they sizzled nicely and disappeared

Ennn · 10/02/2015 14:26

DP weighs everything far more diligently than I do.

I miss running :(

I really really miss it. Is not as if I can look forward to going for a run tomorrow or even at the weekend.

Millie2013 · 10/02/2015 15:19

:( Pollly

Ennn · 10/02/2015 15:20

((( polly )))

I guess at MFP when other people make things, but I mostly eat ready meals, so the kcal is on there.

I'm glad you have an appointment for Thursday, Ennn.

I had a difficult morning. I attempted suicide (not giving methods here), but a bloke grabbed the back of my jacket and shouted at me, so I ran away. I want to go back, trying to distract here.

I've just seen the crisis team person, and they want someone to ring me later. Sad In a whole 3 hours time.

Ennn · 10/02/2015 16:26

Up, what a horrible day you've had SadFlowers I'm glad that bloke was there.
