My last meal of the day was my tea and was the healthiest meal of the day because it was an apple and an easy peeler.

Today's (11th November 2026) breakfast and lunch comments

My intention today was and is to listen to the manuscript I finished writing yesterday to attempt to catch any silly mistakes before I put it to one side to rest before its first edit.

I've had my first two proper meals (in three parts) for the first time in November as well as snacking on some protein about an hour before I had my lunch, so I'm now overly full.

My first meal (which came in two parts) was my breakfasts of a 500ml glass of water to wash my 10 morning pills down with and then 2 slices of wholemeal 'Toastie' toast with 10g of 'Buttery' spread, 30g of a plant-based chocolate and hazelnut feast on top of that and washed down with a 250ml bottle of freshly-decanted sweet and sour apple juice.

My second meal was a Pak Choi and 200g of super firm tofu with 15g of a vegan mayonnaise and washed down with a 330ml can of a Sparkling Guava pop.

Chapter 12 has...

...made me tearful because it's the first chapter that has started delving deep into my childhood feelings.

Still got 54 chapters to go...
