Nite nite orl

 It's been a very long, totally exhausting few days and I'm still seriously struggling, so I've popped my last two pills of the week and I'm heading off to bed now.

I'll see you all in the morning.

Next week I'm gonna attempt...

...not to snack.

I'll still have hot choccies but that's it, nothing solid outside of my three main meals.

It'll be hard, especially in the mornings, but I've gotta get out of the habit of comfort eating.

I've got chocolate, Pringles and toasted corn to tempt me, but I've gotta be strong and only eat at meal-times.

I'm also gonna put each week's menu's up here and make a more determined effort to stick to them.

I'll put up next week's menu after this and I'm gonna do everything I can to stick to it.

Today's lunch was the same as the last few days:  80g Sweet Potato Fries, 100g mixed veg, cooked in 1ml of air fryer oil and washed down with a 330ml can of a Sparkling Passion[fruit] pop.

Here's today's lunch photo:

Today's (22nd March 2026) breakfast photo

Today's photographed breakfast was a simple 500ml glass of water, but I've also had the last 2 bananas and last 2 packets of apple and grapes, washed down with a 550ml mug of me-friendly drinking chocolate, but there's no photo of any of that.

Here's today's breakfast photo:

Mornin' all

My FitBit says that I was asleep for 9 hours and 4 minutes overnight but I still feel like I haven't slept!

My blood pressure was pretty normal for me, my morning pills went down fine but the virus scan has found another advanced issue... I'm guessing that they have recently been because of the edits in my second memoir but don't know for sure and it's resolved again now.

I'm dead on my feet so I'm not gonna risk getting washed and changed again today, but everything will hopefully be back to normal again tomorrow 🤞

Gotta remember to take the rubbish and recycling out at some point today too.

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