It's been an exhausting day today, but I practised going up and down kerbs this morning instead of my laps, so I'm completely wiped out now.
I've taken my last two pills of the week and I'm heading to bed.
I'll see you all in the morning.

...just been delivered and I can eat everything this week. I will be able to have 2 apples and 2 pears for lunch every day starting tomorrow and I've got a couple of nectarines to try when they have ripened a bit more, so it'll be another healthy week again next week.
Today's breakfast was just my normal 500ml glass of water to pop my 9 morning pills with, but I forgot to take the photo before I took them so I took it when I'd swallowed them all instead.
Here's today's breakfast photo:
Well, today could've started better! lol I brought today's clothes downstairs, took my blood pressure and popped my 9 morning pills and it was good until I remembered that I hadn't taken the photo of the glass of water, for my last meal photo of the week! Thankfully there was still a small amount of water in the glass, so I took the photo, finished the glass off and went to get washed and changed... before realising that I'd mixed the top of my jeans up and that I would be wearing the wrong one today - woops! I went back upstairs and changed the tops around then came back downstairs.
I then went for a poo, which was a combination of diarrhoea and constipation.
Then I got washed and changed and brushed my teeth, only to discover that the batteries needed changing and the socks I'd brought down first thing (when I first came downstairs) were too long to go underneath the legs of my trousers, so up I went again to find my ankle socks.
Came downstairs for the third time in under two hours and weighed myself unofficially. I'm now, officially, back down to where the nurse wants me to be.
My Visible gave me a 'Morning Stability' score of 3 so I'll do my various exercises this afternoon, for the last time this week.
My hayfever is aready through the roof, I'm sneezing my head off, sniffing constantly and my eyes are itching like crazy this morning, so I'm gonna feel awful all day.
The daily virus scan was still reassuringly clear though, so I can get today's breakfast photo up, then my to-do list now I reckon.

My hayfever has been in full swing today so I'm feeling pretty lousy right now unfortunately.
I've taken my pills and I'm heading on up to beddy-byes that I won't be woken up by hayfever or the desperate need to wee at 3am again.
I'll see you all in the morning.

Today's lunch was the last two pickled eggs, the last two easy peelers and two of the last three pears, washed down with a 330ml can of a Sparkling Guava pop today.
Here's today's two lunch photos:
Today's breakfast was the same as yesterday's and will be the same as tomorrow's - a 500ml glass of water to take my morning pills with.
Here's today's breakfast photo:
I've woken up to my bladder being very overactive this morning and I've been for 4 wee's since 3am and I've only been downstairs since 5am, so I've wee'd 3 times in the last hour 😒
I've taken my blood pressure which was back down to 108 again this morning, so that's a relief, my morning pills have been popped, I pulled the switch in the bathroom at 5.20am so it's bath time at 6.20am and the daily virus scan was clear. My hayfever is already making me feel rotten, so it's gonna be a high pollen count today methinks.
Time to get today's breakfast photo up, then my to-do list, then it's bath time.
I've popped my last two pills of the day and I'm absolutely knackered so I'm heading on up to beddy-byes now.
I'll see you all in the morning.

If you, like me, are Pagan, it's time to celebrate another Sabbat this weekend!
I hope you all stay safe, well and happy no matter if you're going to Stone Henge or staying at home like me.
Blessed Be and take it easy on the Mead 😉
Today's tea is, I think, the same as yesterday's: 2 tubs of Chocolate Nut Mix and a 500ml glass of water.
Here's today's tea photo:
Today's lunch was the same as yesterday's and it'll be the same meal again tomorrow too: 2 pickled eggs, 2 small pears and 2 easy peelers all washed down with the last 330ml can of a Sparkling Mango pop so I've gotta remember to refill the dispenser before lunchtime tomorrow.
Here's today's lunch photos:
For my only breakfast today, I just had my usual 500ml glass of water to wash my 9 morning pills down with.
Here's today's breakfast photo:
I've woken up to a Visible score of 3 today, so I'll be lapping and exercising this afternoon, despite feeling like I haven't slept. I've also unofficially weighed myself and I'm happy with where I am now, but my blood pressure is raised again unfortunately. My 9 morning pills have been popped with my only breakfast this morning and I'm not gonna have any caffeine today 'cos of not having a solid breakfast.
The daily virus scan has just finished and it found an advanced issue so I'll get that sorted when I've put my breakfast photo up, which I'm gonna do now, then my to-do list, followed by my first creamy drinking chocolate of the day.

I forgot to say goodnight to you all until I'd shut down and unplugged my laptop again lol
I'm just quickly back to say goodnight to you all and I'll see you in the morning.

...the three choccie drinks completely stopping me from snacking today - it seems that my mouth wanted sweetness as opposed to food when I was snacking, so now that I know that I can stock up on the cream and do like I did today, just have chocolatey drinks as opposed to solid snacks. I also haven't felt hungry after the drinks like I pretty much constantly did with the snacking! Drinking chocolates and me-friendly squirty creams will be a constant in my life now that I've found the solution!
I'm also grateful that the Mental Health nurse was so quick to make the corrections I dropped off on Friday and that she was so understanding of my reasons. One of the questions she left blank was my triggers though, and I realised that I didn't know them any more other than the weather and feeling pressured into supporting others! I used to know them, but since I've been stable on the 5-HTP I haven't noticed them ever since!
I've had a good day today.
Today's tea is 2 x 60g packs of chocolate nut mixes, although I've yet to find a single bit of chocolate in the first pack!
Here's today's tea photo:
Today's lunch, like my breakfast this morning, came in two parts and will do until the weekend too. It was and will be until the weekend 2 pickled eggs, 2 pears and 2 easy peelers washed down with a 330ml can of a Sparkling Mango pop. I was sooo relieved that I had the pop with the eggs because it broke up the strong pickling flavour lol
