Menu for Thursday to Saturday (18th to 20th June 2026)

Breakfast

Choccie Weetabix
Soya milk
Juice

Lunch

2 eggs
2 pears
2 easy peelers
Can of pop

Tea

2 x chocolate and nuts

Snacks

Creamy drinking chocolates
Creamy mochas

I've just...

...rearranged the fridge a touch and managed to save enough room to spread out the me-friendly squirty creams and leave enough room for the jar of pickled eggs that I'm gonna crack open to snack on tomorrow, as well as starting the creamy drinking chocolates/mochas again.  I've also added eggs and cream to each of my future grocery orders so I'll be able to have chocolate again without worrying about where to store the cream.

I've just taken the orange juice off my next OddBox order 'cos there's literally no room left on the door of the fridge now, but I'm hoping I won't need to snack as much next week 'cos I'll have the creamy drinking chocolates back to satisfy my sweet tooth, as well as the eggs to get some protein into me as well as the fruit for my lunches, so I've hopefully got everything sorted now.

Today's (17th June 2026) lunch photo

Here's today's lunch photo:

Today's (17th June 2026) breakfast photo

My breakfast today was just the 500ml glass of water to pop my morning pills with this morning.  I wasn't hungry so decided against anything solid - you watch me snack all morning now though!  lol

The weekly backups have just finished and...

...they took a smidgen under 2 hours to finish this week, so I'm good to go for another week now.

Mornin' all

I've woken up to a 'Morning Stability' score of 2 out of 5 today, so there won't be any exercising today and I'm not hungry, so I'm not having anything other than the glass of water for my breakfast.  I've got washed and changed and brushed my teeth this morning though, so I'm clean for the first time since Sunday morning now.

I started off the weekly virus scan before I went to get washed and changed, then checked it when I sat down and it was at 94% so that'll hopefully finish soon.

I also discovered that I didn't give yesterday's to-do list it's final edit or say goodnight to you all, so I must've been absolutely knackered last night.

My morning pills have been popped and my blood pressure was waaay higher than my own personal range, but still low, so I'm not too worried.

The virus scan has just finished so I'll start off the backups then put today's to-do list together, but won't be able to put my breakfast photo up until after they've finished, which could be any time!  If it's close to lunchtime then I'll put both my breakfast and lunch photos up in the same post.
