Today's (27th April 2024) breakfast photo

Today's breakfast was the same as the last couple of days - a bowl of Berry Granola with just about the right amount of soya milk (for a change) and a 250ml bottle of orange juice and I also sneaked in a cheeky drinking chocolate to start the day off with now that I don't need to catch up on missing calories!

Here's today's breakfast photo:

Mornin' all

I've been a busy bunny since I woke up an hour ago and my stress levels are now through the roof!

Managed to swallow my morning pills with my morning glass of water and fix an advanced issue in the daily virus scan though, so that's a relief.

My carer could turn up at any point now, so I'm gonna shut up and publish this now and hopefully manage to get my day's to-do list up before my carer arrives.

BBIAB with any luck.

Nite nite orl

I asked on Facebook for other Thiamin rich foods other than eggs and liver and someone suggested Ryvita so I've officially taken soups off the menu now and I'm having Ryvita and Hummus for my lunches (assuming they're in stock of course lol) instead.  They are healthy, full of Thiamin and protein and me-friendly so it'll make a good change as long as I can keep them in my stomach.

I've popped my last two pills of the day, so I'm gonna head straight on up to beddy-byes now.

Nite nite orl.

I was wrong, I'm sorry

I said either in my lunchtime post or my drinking choccie post that I still had enough calories left for a decaff coffee this afternoon and still have 1 calorie to play with.

It seems that I was wrong 'cos I've just put my coffee into FitBit and I'm now 33 calories behind so my maths still isn't my friend, obviously lol

I'm not too worried though 'cos it's pretty much on target so I will go back to attempting to turn my FitBit graph green as of tomorrow, but I'm not as happy with my calorie intake today as I'd hoped.

I'm glad that I've been able to make up for the 2,889 calorie day I had on Wednesday and the significant reduction in calories yesterday and today have hopefully got me back on track, so I'm not going to beat myself up or get obsessed with it, I'm just gonna chalk it up to experience and move on.

I was wrong and I'm sorry for my mistake.

For the first time in 3 days...

...I'm allowed a me-friendly creamy drinking chocolate and I'm still 3 calories safe, so I'm happy with that!  I can have a decaff coffee this afternoon and still be 1 calorie away from getting everything back to where it should be after Wednesday, so I'm happy with that and it'll be back to normal as far as calories go as of midnight... no more maths needed, thankfully, so I'm gonna celebrate with a bar of chocolate instead of peanuts for my lunch tomorrow I reckon.

Today's (26th April 2024) lunch photo

My second and last meal of the day was also the same as yesterdays - an 80g bag of dry roasted peanuts.  I've had an extra today though, 'cos I had a 250ml carton of chocolate soya milk for elevenses and I've got a decaff instant coffee on the go now too.  I'll be 100 calories below target today, even after taking off the remaining 593 calories from Wednesdays lunch, so I'll be able to have a couple of me-friendly creamy hot chocolates from tomorrow and be back on track to turn my FitBit graph green each day, rather than blue like I've done today and yesterday or red like I did on Wednesday.

My carer has had another easy visit today and is spending the entire 18 minutes sat on the floor, charging her phone up and playing a game (Call of Duty) on it, but she's going to post a letter for me when she leaves, so that's worth it, right? 😔

Mornin' all

Well, here's the start of a new day, but I'm lost for things to do now that I've finished planning out my next book lol

I've popped my morning pills with my morning glass of water and tried a rescue remedy gummy too, so we'll see what that does!

The daily virus scan is going through and has been for the last 20 minutes so it'll prolly finish while my carer is here, knowing my luck lol

Time to put today's to-do list together now methinks.

Nite nite orl

I've popped my pills and I'm absolutely knackered, but I've finished planning out my NaNo/JanNo book now, so that's all ready to be fleshed out and written in November, but for now I'm shutting down for the night.

My breakfast today was the same as yesterday - a bowl of Berry granola with soya milk and a 250ml bottle of orange juice.

Lunch today and probably tomorrow will just be a packet of dry roasted peanuts so that I can try and make up for going 1,342 calories over budget yesterday with the honeycomb lunch blowout.

Mornin' all

I managed almost 9½ hours of sleep overnight, so why am I still knackered??

I've popped my morning pills with my morning glass of water and the daily virus scan is chugging away, so I'm just waiting for my morning carer now, then I can have my breakfast and do my laps.

Plan for today is to try and get the last of the book planned out and I've gotta remember that a Freegler is coming this afternoon too, so I've gotta remember to let them know when my carer has disappeared and I've done my laps.

Time to put today's to-do list together now I reckon.

BBS (I hope)

Nite nite orl

I've suddenly come over totally poopy-dooped so I've taken my last two pills of the day and I'm gonna head straight on up to beddy-byes now.

I'll see you all in the morning.

Nite nite orl.

I've got the bare bones planned out until 2022 now, so I've only got 2023 and 2024 to plan out now, then it's all sorted.  The 2023 notes will be the most intense 'cos it'll have all kindsa stuff from my physio etc in it, so that will be the most medically intense year of the entire book I reckon.

I've stopped for the day now though 'cos it's almost pill-popping time then beddy-byes for me.

Today's (24th April 2024) lunch photo

Today's lunch was a 150g packet of golden honeycomb that is suitable for vegans because of the four ingredients, none of them were honey lol

I'm waaaay over my calorie budget now, but that's OK 'cos I'll just not have crisps the rest of the week to save me about 800 calories a day lol

Here's today's lunch photo:

That's the...

...virus scan and backups sorted for another week, so I'm gonna put today's lunch (toffee honeycomb) into FitBit then start going through my medical records so that I can plan a bit more of my NaNo/JanNo book out.

Today's (24th April 2024) breakfast photo

A bit delayed today 'cos of the weekly virus scan and backups then my morning laps and making myself a coffee, but here it is - back to being a bowl of berry granola with soya milk and an orange juice.  I also had a me-friendly creamy hot chocolate too, but there's no photo of that 'cos I'd already put my laptop back on the table before I made it.  I've got a decaff coffee on the go now so it should be pretty easy to get my medically approved 3 litres into me today.

Today's lunch will be a packet of toffee honeycomb after I've made my carer a drink and she's sat down for the 18 minute minimum that she has to be here for so that she can get paid.

Here's today's breakfast photo:

Mornin' all

This'll have to be a quick first blog post of the day 'cos I've been having internet issues all morning and my carer could turn up at any time.

I've popped my morning pills and set my watch and both phones on to charge.

Time to publish this and hopefully get my to-do list up before my morning carer arrives.

BBS (I hope)

Nite nite orl

Can someone remind me to charge up both my phones as soon as I come down and turn my laptop on tomorrow please?  I'll need to give my FitBit a last bit of juice tomorrow too, but that's not so important 'cos it's at 98% as of now and it needs to be plugged in to a USB port, so won't be able to do it until after I've had my breakfast and done my laps tomorrow.

I need to remember that it's the weekly virus scan and backups tomorrow too... hope I don't screw up as soon as log on lol

My last two pills of the day have been popped, so it's time for beddy-byes for me now.

I'll see you all in the morning.

Nite nite orl.

Looks like...

...it'll be chocolate, honeycomb, nuts and biscuits for my lunches this week 'cos I've only got enough soup in for 1 week as ⅔ of the instant soups were out of stock today so I've only got enough for about 10 days and I wanna keep some back in case it's the same next week too.

Not to worry, I'm sure I'll get through it somehow 😏

Today's (23rd April 2024) lunch photos

For my lunch today I made myself my usual mug of instant vegetable Cup Soup and I rediscovered a 125g packet of chopped mixed nuts so I had those too, which provided me with a huuuge 30g of protein and my body is struggling to cope with it now!  lol

Here are today's two lunch photos:

Was Gaia...

...smiling on me when I put in the order yesterday and put the estimated delivery of it on Sunday?

I emailed my SIL this morning, as soon as I remembered about the order and she said that they'd had to postpone the meet-up from the Sunday just gone because she was ill so they were hoping to meet up this coming Sunday instead which is one of the possible delivery dates for my order but neither of us knew what was happening with the other until my SIL emailed me just now!

It'll be another packet of biscuits for my lunch on Sunday then I've just got the honeycomb to get through and bingo!

Thank you Gaia!

Mornin' mornin'

So far so good this morning.  I've restarted my phone, checked my balace, taken my 6 morning pills and run the virus scan, which was thankfully still clear, so I'm just waiting for my morning carer to arrive now... will she do any part of her job or just use my internet connection to watch video's and send WhatsApp messages to her friends and family in Africa like usually happens with both visits each day?

I'd best get this first post of the day published and put my to-do list up 'cos my carer could turn up at any time between 6.15am (so that she can have a hot drink before she officially starts at 6.30am) and 11am!

BBS

Nite nite orl

I'm not sure what I've done today, but I'm absolutely cream-crackered so I've taken my last pills of the day and I'm heading off to beddy-byes now.

I'll see you all in the morning.

For potentially the first time this year, my carer made the instant vegetable soup entirely by herself today, I just cleared up the mess she made as she made it... all I had to do was get the packet of bacon flavour rashers crisps!

Today's (22nd April 2024) breakfast photo

My first meal of this new week was the same as it was for the last 4 days - chocolate Weetabix, soya milk and a 250ml bottle of orange juice.

Here's today's breakfast photo:

Just done my weekly weigh-in and...

I've put on 1.1kg so I'm back up to the weight I wanna be now and my aim for my calories this week, is to turn the graph green each day again.

Mornin' all

Well, so far so good with my hair!  It's no longer greasy and I'm wearing a slightly tighter hair band this morning so I'm gonna leave it down except when I get washed and dressed and also when I eat my breakfast and have my lunch just for a change.

I've popped my morning pills with my morning glass of water and started the virus scan.  Gotta remember to bring my rubbish and recycling containers back in when they've been emptied.

Knowing my luck I'll start the week with a 6.15am carer who comes into the house but doesn't sign in until 6.30am then spends 18 minutes on her phone before signing out and going to her next client.  I'm gonna publish this blog post now and put my day's to-do list up now, just in case, before I forget.

BBS.

Nite nite orl

I've had a good day, but I'm absolutely shattered, so I'm gonna head straight on up to beddy-byes now.

I'll see you all in the morning.

Lipton ice tea

I love the flavour of Lipton ice tea and I've got a couple of bottles on one of my grocery orders but I'm after storage instructions please.  If you're not going to drink them straight away, is it better to store them in the fridge (like fresh juice) or at room temperature (like pop) please?  It could, potentially, be several weeks between getting them delivered and drinking them so would it be better to take them off the order until I know that I'll be able to drink them the week that I buy them please?

I'm happy either way, I just don't wanna literally pour money down the drain if they've only got a short shelf life is all.

Today's (21st April 2024) lunch photo

Today's lunch was a total break from the norm 'cos it was a 350g pack of chocolate chip cookies and a 350ml mug of decaffeinated instant coffee lol  I've got another pack of biscuits and 2 packs of honeycomb as well as dried fruit and chocolate covered stuff left to have when I'm here alone next time.

First thoughts on my new shower

Just got out of the shower and me really likes it!  I put it on the "Eco" setting and it was soo gentle and relaxing!

I'm only gonna use it for washing my hair and not my body, for the time being at least, 'cos I need to get the head to where I want it to be and that's gonna take a bit of experimenting, but it works soo well for washing my hair, I just need to invest in some lavendar-scented shampoo and conditioner then bingo!  Got a relaxing shower, stressless washing my hair and warm enough to stop me shivering but (hopefully) not so hot that I get a greasy head so soon after washing it.

I can see why people have showers every morning - they are a gentle way to wake up and get clean ready for the new day ahead, but I'll have to keep doing it alone 'cos it took me 44 minutes to get undressed, into the shower, hair washed, out of the shower then dried and dressed but my carers only have to be here for 18 minutes to get paid so I'd only just have got into the shower when they left and they usually leave the front door wide open when they leave.

Sooo, my hygiene thoughts as of now:

Daily:  get washed

Weekly:  have a bubble bath

Whenever necessary:  wash my hair in the shower

Today's (21st April 2024) breakfast photo

Anyone fancy guessing what I had for breakfast this morning?  lol

Yep 2 chocolate Weetabix with soya milk and a bottle of orange juice again.

Lunch today will be 350g of chocolate chip cookies which will take me 600 calories over budget, but that's OK 'cos I wanna try and put on a touch of weight this week so that I can get back up to where I wanna be, which is slap bang in the middle of my healthy weight range, rather than the lower half of it which is where I am now.

Here's today's breakfast photo:

Mornin' all

I woke up before 5am again this morning so I'll be short-tempered with everyone all day again now.

I've popped my morning pills (including a 5-HTP) with my morning glass of water, put my FitBit on to charge and my virus scan is plodding away nicely, so it's been a productive hour so far.

Gotta remember to have a shower after I've had my breakfast and done my morning laps today... gonna turn the dial to "Eco" rather than the "High" that it is right now - I just hope that it's not too hot otherwise washing my hair will be pointless 'cos it'll be greasy when I get out 'cos heat produces more grease for me and my hair!

Gotta remember to take the rubbish and recycling out today too - I'll wait until after I've had my lunch and done my laps and refilled my dosette box first though.

This blog post is already too long so I'm gonna publish it and hopefully put today's to-do list up before my carer arrives.

Nite nite orl

I've had a pretty productive day today and I'm proud to have got the bare bones of my next manuscript put into yWriter, so I'm going to bed feeling like a weight has crumbled away from my shoulders now and I ticked another thing off my to-do list, so that's a relief.

I've taken my last two pills of the day about 15 minutes early, so I'm gonna shut down now and head on up to beddy-byes.

I'll be back in the morning.

Nite nite orl.
