Hi Iburnikell,

aaaaah, your baby is soooooo cute
Thanks, I was surprised at the scale too. Kept moving it about to make sure its not wrong, but it seem to have held so far, phewwwww.
Yup, we are going to be sliiiiiiiiiiiiiim. We should all set aside some extra money, cos God willing, end of next year, we will all need a totolly new wardrobe

Celia

I agree!!

On the baby being cute and on us needing new wardrobes.

I can't wait to be able to wear normal clothing again!!

Hi everyone,

I've got another idea, why dont we all also make a weekly exercise goal? I dont know about you guys, but I always make some kind of excuse not to exercise. If I have you people to answer to than I will exercise more....

Ok this is the plan, we decide on number of days and minutes a week we exercise and try and keep to that. It does'nt always have to be gyms, or fancy exercise machines, we can add walking as one of our exercise routine. What do you think? Any other suggestions? If you are up for it than my goals are to exercise atleast 3 times a week. I have an elliptical training machine, and I can do about 20-30minutes at the moment, when I do decide to use it. Last time I used it was probalby about a month ago....
Hmmmmmmm, let me know
CeliaUK

I have such a bad case of UTI... If it does'nt go away by tomorrow I will have to have cranberry juice while on induction Not good, not good atall....

Im sure there are other remedies you can use that dosent include carbs!! just go to your local chemist or health shop and ask! (good luck!)
love

ps thank you Celia and Mrs Twacky for the lovely comment about my wee squashy Joshua!!

I cant wait for the weight to come of oh to be thin again!!

as for the excercise, I will try my best even if it just taking Joshua for nice walks in his buggy, its better than nothing!!

Hi Iburnikell, I dont think in UK they give any medication for UTI over the counter, but I will go and check tomorrow.
Gosh, I dont know why suddenly I got it, and so bad aswell. I cant pass water without screaming from pain Drinking more water today.

Oh actually, I guess I can take cranberry tablets? They shant have any carbs will they?

Hi Celia,

I thought I had a UTI but my Doc said no, I was really upset, I had been counting on her prescribing an anti-biotic to clear it up for me. She thought it was an inflamed bladder (I was supposed to get an ultrasound to find out) so what I had been doing was drinking GALLONS of water, I can get away with a bit less now - 2 ltres a day is enough. But that takes away the burn - just try really upping your water intake and see if it helps.

That's how it was with me - like SCREAMING pain for up to 20 minutes after a pee - and it was way worse on the days my carbs were REALLY low, so I just carry a huge glass of water around with me all the time now and whenever I can I swig about half of it down - especially when I feel like I'm going to have to "go" soon, no way do I want to chance not having that urine diluted enough.

OMG!! that mad woman is stalking me again!! lol

anyway Celia I went to wish you a happy new year in your Journal, and you dont have one!!
So I will do it here, have a great new year all the best for 2005, may all your hopes, wishes and dreams come true!
2005 is our year we are gonna shine!!

love
