Yuck!

I think my body is paying me back for having so much fruit this week lol

I had a touch of diarrhoea this morning then nothing until I started my laps then 10 minutes into it my bottom exploded on me before I could get to the bathroom and it's been the same every few minutes for the last 40 minutes!

I've got rehydration salts and anti-diarrhoea pills that I'll have to hopefully rapidly cure it again, but I'm not gonna have any fruit for lunch tomorrow and I've cancelled Sunday too, but I'm just gonna take things really carefully for the next few days and not have 8 portions of fruit for lunch again lol

I'm not gonna eat or exercise until my body has recovered, then I'll try and remember to spread the fruit out rather than have it all at the same time again lol

Today's (5th June 2026) lunch photo

Today's lunch was really healthy, other than the 330ml can of a Sparkling Passion[fruit] pop!  I had 2 bananas, 2 apples and 2 pears for my lunch which apparently takes today's fruit and veg count (including the fruit juice I had with my breakfast) up to 11 today, which is double the recommended 5 portions!

Here's today's lunch photo:

Today's (5th June 2026) breakfast photos

Today's breakfast came in two parts, for the first time this month (June) and consisted of my usual 500ml glass of water to take my 9 morning pills with, then I decided to try having a solid breakfast again because I was hungry and wanted to try not to snack, so I had choccie Weetabix with approx 150ml of soya milk and a freshly-decanted bottle of wonky orange juice which has all just come out of the other end of me lol

Here's today's two breakfast photos:

Mornin' all

Well, my Visible let me do the morning stability score reading this morning, so last time *was* just a badly timed blip, which I'm putting down to Loki.

So far this morning, other than taking my Visible reading (which was a huge 4 out of 5) I've been for 3 emergency wees, taken my blood pressure (which was right at the top of my own personal range), popped my 9 morning pills with my first breakfast and had my second breakfast for the first time this week I think.  I'm charging up my watch and I'm feeling nicely full, so hopefully I won't be snacking today.

The daily virus scan found an advanced issue, which is now resolved, so I can download my emails and get today's breakfast photo's up now, then today's to-do list, then wait for my breakfast to go down and settle a bit, then I can do my first set of laps and exercises today.

BBIAB

Nite nite orl

I'm absolutely freaking knackered so I've taken my last two pills of the day and I'm heading to bed.

I'll see you all in the morning.

Tomorrow morning will be...

...the real test of my Visible's battery.

Why?

Because it's at 68% right now, which is lower than it was before it went wonky and I had to reset it, so if I have to do that again tomorrow (and I really hope I don't) then I'll know it's a genuine issue with my Visible's battery.  If it's still ticking along nicely then I'll know it was just Loki playing tricks on me and it was just a badly timed technology blip is all.

Keep your fingers crossed that it was just a blip please?
