Testing times

Argh, have woken up again with hideous swelling in my extremities again. Looks like I'm off for more testing. I have more blood work to do next Tuesday, but in the meantime, I'm just going to try and take it easy today - have taught RPM this morning which was a bit tough on the old cankles and drove back to Indro thinking that I'd cruise in and have a shower. I was told on arrival at the gym that there was a plumbing problem and there was no water. I ducked into the shower regardless and got the last few spurts of water from the shower, thank goodness! Have four clients today and am rather relieved that I'm not stinky....

Day 3 Back to Base and they call it "Swell Hell"

Today's training: 25 minute walk outdoors. Today I felt like I could walk a bit faster and I enjoyed being outside in the fresh air.
Eating:
Oats, Whey, tomato juice, skim
Stuffed Mushrooms x 2
Turkey,cranberry, tomato melt on Burgen bread
Stuffed Mushroom, half cup Special K (felt like something crunchy)
Risotto with chicken breast, mushrooms and steamed greens
Apple with smudge of cottage cheese.

Despite the exercise, I've been on a real downer today - the cause - what they refer to on plastic surgery forums as "Swell Hell" has set in. My poor old belly is very very swollen today. Apparently this can happen when one begins to exercise, though I don't really count going for a 25 minute amble, barely breaking a sweat, exercise. I certainly hope that lots of mushrooms help!

I am happy to announce however that I purchased my very first T Shirt bra in a 12 C. I remember trying on one in a 10 A and being embarrassed that I couldn't fill the darn thing as I think they give boobs a nice shape. I may think I look massive, but the mirror distorts the true image of your body. Taking a photo is way more honest - made sure I have the spin bike in the background for good measure.
