Monday munching and sporting injuries

I've come to the conclusion that exercise just isn't good for me. After yesterday's fairly leisurely swim, I am now suffering a trapped nerve in my right shoulder which is making arm movement a tad tricky. It's not painful all of the time, but certain positions that I try to move to are bloody sore. I was screaming like a stuck pig in the office at lunchtime whilst trying to get my coat on and realising that I was in a position that I couldn't really get myself out of. Not overly professional I grant you but I notice none of the men I work with came to my rescue. Chivalry is most definitely dead in the world of IT! Anyway, I've had this before and while it's painful, I know it will work itself out in a few days so fingers crossed. I've taken Nurofen Plus and had a hot bath to try and loosen things up a bit. Should be fine by Wednesday night Spinning.

Another fairly decent day on the food front, although I am realising my fruit and veg intake is probably not enough on a daily basis. We're running low on supplies so I need to replenish. Spent tonight at a friends who cooked me dinner in return for me entertaining her 2 little girls for a few hours. That must have earnt my some Bonus Points, I had to do a ballet show for the duration of SCD - It Takes Two. I was flipping shattered!

I've got the day off tomorrow as I bought Matt tickets for Christmas to the ATP tennis finals at the O2 arena so we're off there for a day. Matt is tennis obsessed and fortunately tomorrow we get to see Murray v Federer, which is a bonus. Should be a fairly good day out, just need to try and make sensible choices on the food front. I'm sure the final day of the food diary will assist with that.

So today's food has gone like this:

Breakfast - 3 points
1 sachet of Oatso Simple - 1.5
2 packs of Sunmaid snack raisins (28g) - 1
60ml of semi-skimmed milk (mixed up with 120 ml of water as we had no skimmed milk at work) 0.5


Lunch - 7.5 points
1 pouch of Green Giant Mushroom Soup - 2.5
2 slices of white bread - 2.5
with 150g Tuna mixed with onion and 1 tbsp of Light Salad Cream - 2.5
Cucumber and Spinach - 0


Mid Afternoon - 1.5
1 packet of Frazzles


Dinner - approx 11.5
Pasta - 4
Tomato and Chilli Sauce - 1.5
Sainsburys Garlic Bread (1/3 of a baguette) - 4.5
Frankfurter Sausage - 1.5



That comes in at 23.5/26 but its possible dinner came in at more points so I'm happy with that. I am almost excited for WI on Wednesday as I feel like I've been almost saintly this week.

  3. It looks like this photo journalling has been a really good thing for you - fingers crossed for a good weigh in!

    Have fun at the tennis - certainly beats sitting in the office all day ... and just think if you jump up and down with excitement enough, that's more activity points, right? ;o)
