Petals diary

Well done despite the wobble! Sounds like your family is really benefiting from your healthy cooking.
 
Oh, I would have liked to have seen Yesterday! It looked really fun.
I poach eggs using the whirlpool method, which is fun, but no good for doing more than two, maximum - and that's one after the other, too, not together. And now I'm determined to have a poached egg for breakfast tomorrow. :)
 
Thanks LaMa and Em . I may look up the whirlpool method .
well it’s 2.50pm and I am still in my pjs ! I never ever do that however I have cleaned my sons bedroom and changed all his bedlinen ready for him to come at Xmas . I have scrubbed the guest bathroom from top to bottom . I have made some snacks for the week for husband and I made a chicken stirfry for lunch for daughter and I .
this afternoon is going to be continuing with laundry and relaxing I think .
As lunch was more like dinner I’m thinking poached eggs for tea Amy . Maybe .

And then that came along :eek: You´re frighteningly efficient!
 
I am hugely impressed at the super-clean bathroom. You have suddenly shot up to being right next to Nigella as my ideal and role model. Wow! I like Nigella, because she looks gorgeous, and isn't super-thin - but you have the clean bathroom as well, and are obviously a brilliant hostess, as well, because it's the guest bathroom. :D
(And I just went looking on the internet about poached eggs, but it all got too complex. More on that front later! Hugs and hope you're having a sweet and dreamless sleep.)
 
Think I’m just super charged so it’s I don’t have a panic station last weekend before Xmas as I know I will get too stressed . I have some jobs I need to get done now like cleaning food larder and defrosting freezer , clean oven and declutter clothes . Yikes but a little a day will do a lot .

You sound like an amazing house keeper. A mostly good quality. My mother was also, problem is I grew up thinking houses were self cleaning and dirty clothes dropped on the floor miraculously ended up clean in my closet. Moving out on my own was a rude awakening!

Take care and manage that stress.
 
Haha Rob I was brought up cleaning and I always like a clean house although hard to maintain with kids and pets and mucky boots !
 
I'm so abashed in retrospect when I think how much housework (and gardening) I didn't do, growing up. We had assigned jobs - like whose turn it was to do the dishes etc - and we'd have days when we were all rousted out to work on the garden together under my father's direction. But what on earth was wrong with me that I didn't just hop up and do more? :(
 
Because Amy you were a child ! We did because we had too . And I say me but mostly me as I was eldest girl . My father worked my brothers pretty hard outdoors .
I never minded cleaning though .

I have to watch my protein intake as my creatinine levels are elevated . I eat a lot of high protein quark and yoghurt , 40g of cheese a day . I eat nuts occasionally. I don’t eat high amount of meat . But a little most days . Doc just told me to up my fluids but never mentioned protein . That I found from the Internet . Doc was very blasé about it so I’m guessing He was not too worried. I should have asked for the level so I might phone back today to ask .
 
It would be interesting to know what your reading was, Petal. There is so much information online that I just got side-tracked. Drinking excessive water can put a lot of strain on your kidneys. I wish doctors would explain things better.
 
I’m no further on Cate . I rang and nurse told me my level was 89 and normal range is 44 to 80 . She said it’s not too high and just will need test again in 12 months to err on safe side . When I google it it’s just too mind blowing and so many different figures and measurements. I think I will just continue as I am and cut down on the protein yoghurts and forget the quark and just get normal natural yoghurt . I will go see what I can find today .
 
Unless you're having symptoms I'd say trust the nurse and doctor. Healthy kidneys have no trouble at all with extra water - it actually makes their work easier.
 
Yeah I think I feel well so won’t stress if doc and nurse are happy but I will cut back on the high protein dairy I eat .

I got an unexpected lunch invite today and it was good fun . Because I have my weigh in class I did chose a salad but if it had over been tomorrow I think I might have had something a little off plan . However the salad was feta , pear and walnut with lovely leaves and bits plus a slice of lovely homebaked bread . I left a little of the bread . Tonight is leftover pasta and bolagnese sauce .
 
Thanks LaMa and Cate .
Well I lost 0.5 lb . Not a lot but I’m happy . If I could do that for next 3 weighs that would be 2lb ( includes tonight) before Xmas .
