Today's (21st May 2024) lunch photo

About an hour early with this photo, but I wanted to get it up before I forgot 'cos the dried mango pack is slightly open and I don't want to forget when I bring it in.

It couldn't be a more different lunch to what most people have 'cos it's a 6 serving pack of me-friendly bacon flavour rashers crisps and 100g of dried mango so all I'll have to do is bring them into the living room and eat them while my carer sits and watches videos or sends emails/texts/WhatsApp messages to her family and friends on my internet connection, which is our normal routine now.

Here's today's early lunch photo:

Mornin' all

Plan for today is to do my second set of outside laps as soon as my carer has left this morning so that I don't have to stop in the middle of doing them to answer the door, then I'll have my breakfast, put in my next grocery order and wait for the deliveries to arrive until lunchtime, then have a packet of crisps and 100g of dried mango for my lunch, then that's it until I head to bed, hopefully on time.

I've popped my morning pills with my morning glass of water and the virus scan is chugging away, so I'm just waiting for that to finish before I open up my emails.

Gonna publish this and put up my day's to-do list now.

BBS.

Nite nite orl

I've had a weird day today... it feels like I've been run off my feet and I'm totally knackered and in a huge amount of pain but I've barely achieved anything!

Tomorrow is gonna be another busy day 'cos not only have I got my groceries coming in the afternoon, but there are a couple of deliveries coming too, so I've gotta remember to do my outside laps as soon as my carer leaves and even before I've had my breakfast, so that I can be ready to answer the door as soon as they arrive.

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

I'll see you all in the morning.

Nite nite orl.

Today has been...

...full of newly opened food and drinks so it'll be interesting to see how long everything lasts!

First was the new sleeve of Weetabix and new carton of soya milk and now I've got a freshly opened drinking chocolate with the last in the can of me-friendly squirty cream!

I'm 177 calories under budget but that's OK 'cos my FitBit app seems to take off some of the total between me shutting down for the night and booting up again the next morning.

I'm gonna try and turn the graph green again this week, but if I'm slightly blue or slightly red then I won't worry about it too much.  I'm right in the middle of the healthy weight range for my height, so I can afford to gain or lose 1.5kg and still be in range but I wanna try and stay in the middle if I can but I'd prefer to be at the top of the middle rather than the bottom if possible.

Gonna try and restrict myself to 1 drinking chocolate (with or without squirty cream) a day this week so that I can still feel comforted but hopefully without my addiction taking hold again.

That's my...

...good deed done for the day!

I took a parcel in for a neighbour at the end of last week and they hadn't come over to collect it so I've just gone over and knocked on their door to let them know and they came to collect it straight away.

Tomorrow is also gonna be a busy delivery day for me 'cos I've got a case (12 bottles) of caffeine-free Diet Coke coming so that I can take that with me each Sunday and don't have to wait all week to have my 2-3 weekly doses of caffeine at the same time which really messes up my bladder.  I'm also expecting 6 vegan cookie dough's that have to be put in the freezer as soon as they get here.  I've also got my groceries coming in the afternoon.  It could potentially be a late night too, 'cos I've gotta let the cookie dough company know if it hasn't arrived by 8pm and the Diet Coke's could be up to 9pm as well!

I'll try and do my outside laps as soon as my carer has gone and before I have my breakfast tomorrow morning so that I don't miss either of the deliveries if they are early... keep your fingers crossed that it's a 6.30am call tomorrow lol

Knowing my luck, the cookie dough, Diet Cokes and groceries will all turn up at the same time lol

Today's (20th May 2024) lunch photo

T'was a biiig lunch today, in comparison to my usual lunches 'cos it was the leftovers from yesterday's Sunday lunch with my in-laws.

2½ servings of Quorn family roast, 2½ servings of roast potatoes cooked in vegetable oil, 1 serving of French beans and 1 serving of broccolini and my usual glass of water to wash it all down with... totally stuffed now and I've still got 250 calories left in my daily budget lol

Mornin' all

I'm up, pills popped, water drunk and ready to face the day head on.  My hayfever is already giving me a pounding head and eye ache but I haven't sneezed very much so far, so the pollen obviously hasn't woken up yet.

I still can't decide what to do about going outside for this afternoon's laps and I'm predicting that the delivery will either come while I'm naked or while I'm doing my laps lol

Gonna publish this now and put today's to-do list up before my first carer of the week arrives.

TTFN

Nite nite orl

I've had a busy day and exhausting week, so I've popped my last two pills of the week and I'm heading straight off to beddy-byes.

I'll see you all in the morning.

Nite nite orl.

Opinions please, 'cos I really can't decide

Assuming I'm still where I want to be with my weight (ideally the same weight as I was on Monday, but heavier would be ideal) when I weigh myself tomorrow, I've got a decision to make - when I do my laps, do I push my boundaries slightly and include going out the back as well as being inside like I have done up to now, or do I just stay indoors and not take any risks or push my boundaries slightly for the first time this year?

If I go outside it'll just be in the afternoon laps tomorrow and morning laps on Tuesday 'cos of a delivery being scheduled tomorrow morning and my groceries on Tuesday afternoon and after that it'll just be when I'm feeling able to safely do it, so I won't be taking stupid risks, I just wanna start getting some fresh air into my lungs while I'm exercising/doing my physio is all.

Sooo, what do you reckon I should do please?  Leave me a comment on this blog post so that I can keep them all together and make the final decision after the delivery has turned up and I've had my lunch.

I've been outside today so...

...pollen is stuck to my clothes and throughout the house so I've opened the downstairs windows and the back door to make sure that my hayfever is through the roof again.

My eyes are streaming and itching soo badly, when I'm not sniffing I'm sneezing, I've got a blistering headache, it feels like a gazillion ants are crawling all over my body, my head's itchy and my throat is really sore and swollen so I'm really not feeling that positive right now, but this is me until September/October kinda time and I've just gotta put up and shut up about it, just like with everything else 🤷

Today's (19th May 2024) veeery delayed breakfast photo

It's only 5 hours late but today's breakfast was the same as most of the rest of the week - I finished off the choccie Weetabix and the last of the plant protein soya milk along with my usual 250ml bottle of orange juice.

Here's today's very late breakfast photo:

Oh!

It looks like last night's purchase went through after all 'cos I got an order confirmation at 12.57am!  I wonder how many times I'll get it lol

Mornin' all

It was a pretty late start for me this morning 'cos I was still asleep when my watch alarm woke me up at 5.30am!

I've popped my morning pills with my morning glass of water and remembered to fill the bottle up with squash while my laptop was booting up.

Does anyone in the UK know where I can get my hands on a supply of really high strength vitamin B1 pills please?  I take 3 pills with it in every morning but I wanna add even more to my body 'cos my diet is so crap and I don't fancy being blue-lighted into hospital again!

This blog post is getting a bit too long so I'm gonna publish it and aim to get today's to-do list up hopefully before my last carer of the week arrives.

I'll see you all again in a bit.

Nite nite orl

I was about to cave in to my spending addiction and spend almost $100 on stuff from America but Gaia declined my card on the site so I've just gotta hope that the other two payments that I paid to my electricity provider and a writing place go through now!

Gotta remember to fill the bottle up with squash in the morning 'cos I drained it when I took my last two pills of the day.  I need to remember to refill my dosette box when I've taken my lunchtime pill tomorrow too.

Time for me to shut up and head to bed.

I'll see you all briefly in the morning.

Nite nite orl.

I ache all over now because...

I've managed to get about ¾ of the ice off, but the back right corner is still out of my reach, even at full stretch, so I'll have to ask Marie to attack that for me again 'cos I'm such a short arse, but it's fine for now.

Gonna reward myself with my last decaff coffee of the day now.

Today's (18th May 2024) lunch photo

Today's lunch was mainly the same as it has been all week - 9 (aka 3 servings) Quorn garlic & herb bites, seedless red grapes, a 500ml glass of water and the second photo shows a bar (aka 5 servings) of Quality Street favourites purple one chocolate bar, which has taken my FitBit graph nicely into the green now, thankfully.  The two black vertical bits bits behind the glass of water are my carer's legs lol

Here's the penultimate two photos of the week:

Mornin' all

I remembered to bring both brushes and my Alice band down this morning, but I forgot to charge up my FitBit yesterday, so it's getting some emergency juice now, before my carer arrives.

I've come to a decision about having the shower today - if my morning carer arrives before 8am then I'll have a shower and wash my hair as soon as she's gone, but if she arrives after 8am then I'll have a bath after lunch today, like I usually do on a Saturday.

My morning pills have been popped with my morning glass of water, so I'm good to go until lunchtime now.  The daily virus scan is chugging along very slowly - it's 40% of the way through checking for malware, so that's OK.

This blog post is getting a bit long so I'm gonna publish it now and put my to-do list up before my carer arrives.

BBIAB

Nitey nite nite orl

I've popped my last two pills of the day, so it's time for me to shut down and head on up to beddy-byes now.

I'll see you all in the morning, when I've gotta remember to bring my non-greasy hairbrush and Alice band down and then have a shower before I have my breakfast and do my laps, so that my hair has as long as possible to dry before I head to bed in the evening.

Nitey nite nite nite nite orl.

I'm feeling...

...incredibly proud of myself for getting through today without diving into my relatively small (by my standards) chocolate supply.  The only sweet things I've had have been with meals (the choccie Weetabix and orange juice for breakfast and the grapes for lunch) which is what I was hoping for when I decided it.  I'm 400 calories under budget today so I won't be in the red when my calorie allowance drops by around 350 overnight for some reason, so I hopefully stand a chance of my third green day (calorie wise) this week or even a blue day (which means I'm under the allowed calories) to make up for the two red (over budget) days this week.

Basically I'm feeling incredibly proud of myself for resisting the choccie addiction this afternoon.  It was touch and go more times than I'd've liked, but I didn't cave in and I'm through the worst of it for today now I reckon.

Depending what the graph is like tomorrow morning, I might even have enough calories left to reward myself with a sharing bar of chocolate if I get the cravings.  If I don't crave it then I'll try and leave it be again, but if the graph is blue then I'll have 400 calories plus whatever is left over from today to play with, so I can reward myself for coping relatively OK with my addictions today.

Gonna take my pills a bit early and have an early night now methinks.

Feeling rightly proud of myself as I get my prescriptions ready.

Aaaand...

...relax.

I've done everything I can today, so tomorrow I can just have a shower and then veg out after lunch.

GFD are still saying my delivery will be 2-3 days which they've been saying since Monday lol

I'm gonna go and make myself another instant coffee then find some more books to get added to my TBR pile.  I'm not planning on being any more active than getting into and out of the shower tomorrow lol

Mornin' all

Well, it looks like I'm gonna have a bad bladder day today 'cos I went for 3 wees in 17 minutes this morning, before I'd even taken a tiny sip of liquid.

I've also decided that tomorrow is gonna be a day of no breakfast or morning laps and that I'll have a shower in the morning instead of a bath in the afternoon.  The afternoon will be the same as normal (lunch then laps) but I need to get things back on track and I've gotta be ready to bring my delivery in if it doesn't arrive today.

I've popped my morning pills and I've got a decaff coffee on the go now, while I wait for my morning carer to arrive.

The virus scan has just finished and everything is still clear on that, thankfully, so I'm gonna shut up now and put today's to-do list together.

Nite nite orl

I'm wiped out again, so I'm gonna head on up to beddy-byes now.

I'll see you all in the morning.

Nite nite orl.

Today's (16th May 2024) breakfast photo

Today's breakfast was the same as yesterday's - choccie Weetabix with plant protein soya milk and a 250ml bottle of orange juice.

I've decided that today will be a water day, rather than tea, coffee, mocha or drinking chocolate so I've got a pack of dried apple cinnamon wedges to have so that I can make sure I've got enough calories to be able to function today.

Here's today's breakfast photo:
