13th Jan – a good food start!

Hey all, hope you are well.

There’s been a bit of a change at work, I now have to be careful about using my computer for non work stuff. Bit of a shame as it’s easier to use than my phone, but hey ho 😊

So chuffed with Katie, she passed her driving test first time, and she has spent today getting my old car mot’d. It cost her a few hundred, but not bad considering I gave her my car. The car will do her for at least a year.

Anyway, on to the day.

Food – 40g natural nuts, 90g dried fruits, 1 hard boiled egg. I’m still buying those gorgeous salads from a local shop, it’s a big salad that and lasts me two days. But each day gives me more than 3 fruit and veggie portions. Today’s and tomorrow’s salad items are spinach, beetroot, pineapple, sweetcorn, beans, shredded cabbage, olives, garlic, prawns and honey and mustard dressing.

There’s not a full days worth of pulses, so for tomorrow I have added another handful of 5 bean salad, this makes my salad up to 4 portions of fruit and veg. I’ve also added some Sainsbury be good to yourself mozzarella to help with my dairy intake.

Tonight we had trout with quick cook rice with some sweetcorn and peas added to the rice.

I have eaten a biscuit, and the very recently discovered ferrero rochet I thought had all been eaten. Paul has very kindly helped me!

Fluid – no milk this morning, we forgot to get some lactose free over the weekend, and, well, normal milk is not a good idea according to my guts 🤣. I have had about 5 cups of tea today, all with 1 halfspoon sugar. I have also had 1 glass of water, and am having 1 can of Pepsi max as I type.

Exercise – none today, although I will have taken 5000 steps by the time I go to bed. I blame Katie for my lack of exercise, by the time Paul and I get back from shopping and ate, it was already nearly 8, then Katie called and just wanted to do her car tax with us… bless her, she’s very nervous about getting anything wrong, and I don’t blame her 😀, so now Paul and I are relaxing for an hour before bed.

I would not have considered this a great day a few weeks ago, but I’m counting it as a good day, as I’ve realised there’s nothing wrong with easing in, and I still have complete faith and belief in myself.

I’m getting back on track and I’m excited again 🤗
