Quote of the week

Trying to stay motivated.... went to bed last night quite full and woke up early (way too early, I mean 5:00 am kind of early) due to my stomach complaining it was hungry. Could literally eat a horse... ok a small one but still. I'm keeping busy by posting here and after that I will do some crochet (keeps my hands busy).

Good start

I know it's only Tuesday but I had a good start to the week, even my snacking while cooking has improved, I still snack but instead of eating high syns food (i.e: crisps, chocolate etc...) i use seafood sticks.
My dinners since Sunday have been healthy and I have upped my intake of speed food. Need to work on my syns tho as I'm in the high scale of it.
Still I'm proud of myself

I'm back ...

So after almost a year away, I'm back. I lost my mojo big time and let's face it, it is still not back but I have to do something. I did have health issue with my eyes this year more problem but my check up on Thursday went ok and I'm responding to treatment alright. So that's the good news, on the minus side my condition is a life time condition and no matter what, I will have treatment for it the rest of my life.

Arrghhh

I just realised it has been a few weeks since I last blogged. It has been a few hard weeks for me. The exhaustion and crying all the time is back. It feels like I'm always empty and don't have any energy. Which can only mean one thing and it's that the thyroid meds are not working as good as before. Even my close friends can see that I have deteriorated lately. Eventually I have taken the decision to go back to the doctors to sort it out.
I know it sounds silly but it is difficult for people to understand as it does not look like anything is wrong with me from the outside but people who suffer from the condition do know how much of a struggle it can be (particularly when it has been diagnosed recently). For the other people, the only way I can describe it is as being in a state of deep depression, which is one of the symptom and if often confused for it. It also affects weight loss and even if I managed to loose 7 pounds in the first two weeks the weight is back even if I'm still eating healthy.

4.5 Syns per bag

It reminds me of my childhood as I used to eat them when I was a child. They are still nice and I was pleasantly surprised to know realise that a packet was only 4.5 Syns.

Fond Veal or Poultry

1 Syn per teaspoon

It's a magic French product that I will use in sauces, it is almost like a Demi glace.

French products

This month, I bought a few products from French click (it's an internet suppliers of French goods). Sometimes I do miss some essentials from France which I can not replace with English products.
So I got some fonds, sweets and sugar free mint syrup.
