Baw Monday (here We Go Again!!)

Nicky - How does the Cambridge diet work??? When are you looking to TTC??

Reedy - Good luck trying to lose weight. I am hopeless!!! I don't think Ive lost any this week

 

[NickyT75]

Buffy - Yeah its a complete meal replacement diet... sound much worse than it actually is tho!

I did it before getting married & lost 3 stone in 3 months & felt fantastic, then after we got married we were TTC so i stopped dieting & each month my weight was creeping back on but I kept telling myself i might be pregnant & thats why I was gaining weight.

Then once I was pregnant I piled loads of weight on & need to lose roughly 4 stone now!!

I was silly not to follow the 'maintain' healthy weight part once i'd lost weight last time... then I wouldn't be as fat as i am now! but you know what its like

Just a wee quicky, kind of off topic but can being iron deficient affect your period?

Wouldn't have a clue sorry hun x

 

[buffycat]

ah, i have a friend on something similar, and she has done really well (so good luck with it)

i love my food too much to give it up though......slimming world does work for me when i have the discipline.....lost 3.5stone before, but then got complacent so it crept back on.....i now have to lose that same 3.5stone!

tut tut i know...!

for me though, i just have to cut the crap out and eat healthily....easier said than done though!

good luck!

 

[Lisa1984]

I am actually so bored today - think i will take a sicky tomorrow!

 

[buffycat]

something i have never done...i would probably feel really guilty about leaving work colleagues in the sh*t....also, i would stress about my emails...i get about 150 a day.....

the thought alone makes me shudder....!!

seriously though, i've only had 2 days sick in the last 6 years, and that was for my mc back in march

 

[Sambatiki]

Buffycat - That is dedication!!! I can't believe you only took 2 days over your MC. But each to there own. I think I probably took too much time off. I had more time to dwell which got me down.

lisa - Im not sure about the Iron thingie. Wish I could pull a sickie!!

Good Morning Chickadees

My weekend was good - had a bbq on Friday. Didn't get though. Wasn't feeling the Because of the humidity on Friday, I got the WICKEDEST headache and ended up getting sick, so I guess it was a good thing I left the alone.

Other than that, it was a pretty crappy weekend (weather wise) It was all cloudy and rainy and very very humid.

I only have 4 days this week and then I'm off for 11 days! Friday is going to be spent cleaning though as we're having a 60th Birthday Pool Party for my FIL.

Lisa, "sick" days are wonderful aren't they? I call them mental health days. Iron deficiency doesn't directly affect your period. But being iron deficient leaves you prone to anemia, so during a period you should probably take an iron supplement.

AGREED! I'm taking Alli (occasionally) and today I have grilled chicken and raw carrots for lunch and an apple. But then I'm going to blow it all tonight with dinner when I make Hamburger Helper. Although it IS 85% lean....

Me too! I've used alot of sick days so I'm trying really hard to save the rest of my sick days (and all the accumulating ones) for my maternity leave.

 

[Reedy]

My bosses are like family so would feel too guilty if I pulled a sicky x

 

[Sambatiki]

Chris - Can you use sick days as maternity over there??

Reedy - Thats nice though that you get on so well with your employers!!

 

[Chris77]

Chris - Can you use sick days as maternity over there??

Yes, we can! Not that I'll have a whole lot of them. I'm a firm believer in "Mental Health Days" and I have been legitimately sick a few times with bronchitis.

 

[Lisa1984]

I havent taken a sicky since December but I had the flu then and was felt really bad, lost my voice etc.

Its not a thing I do either, just really bored just now, the civil engineering industry has really slowed down of late and not as busy as im used to

 

[Chris77]

Oh my! I must be the only naughty one who calls out sick when she isn't actually sick.

Although, since we have $5,000 incentive to not call out sick, I haven't taken a sick day.

 

[buffycat]

an incentive not to be sick - that sounds like a stunning idea!

lunch consisted of cheese sandwich, crisps, diet pepsi, some shortcake (the latter was because of someones birthday)

not healthy at all!!!

off to a meeting - back later!

 

[Sambatiki]

Chris - thats a wicked incentive!!

 

[Chris77]

Chris - thats a wicked incentive!!

Yeah, it's a raffle though...your name gets put into a pool with everyone else who hasn't called in sick. But it's still an awesome incentive!

I am soooo tired today!!

 

[buffycat]

me too...didn't sleep very well last night.....must try to have an unexciting early night tonight.....
