Today's (26th May 2025) lunch photo

Cor lummy am I stuffed!  I'm sooooooo glad I didn't risk having breakfast this morning or I would be throwing up right now!

Lunch today was leftovers from yesterday and consisted of 2 servings of a vegetarian Family Roast, broccoli, French beans, 5 roast potatoes (because the other half jumped off my plate lol) cooked in vegetable oil, 7 baby carrots, and a 500ml glass of water to wash it all down with.

Here's today's only meal photo:

Mornin' all

It's either a very high pollen count day or I've got a cold brewing 'cos I can't stop sneezing this morning!

I've taken my blood pressure (which was in my normal-for-me range), popped my morning pills and weighed myself.  I'm slightly under where my medical bods want me (but still in the healthy weight range - they just want me at the top and I'm at the bottom today is all) so there's no laps and plenty of chocolate this week lol

I'm not having breakfast 'cos I'm still full from yesterday's roast and I've got leftovers today so they will fill me up too, so I'm not gonna risk bloating myself unnecessarily.  Back to breakfasts tomorrow though.

I've gotta remember to ask today's lunchtime carer to help me to change the bedding and gotta bring the rubbish and recycling in too.  I've also gotta put another couple of elastic bands around my FitBit too.

Thankfully, the first virus scan of the week was still clear, so that's reassuring.  Gotta remember it's the monthly scan on Wednesday.

This first blog post of the day is getting a bit long so I'm gonna shut up, publish this and put today's to-do list together.

Nite nite orl

It's been a looong, exhausting day today, so I've taken my last two pills of the week and I'm heading on up to beddy-byes now.

I'll see you all in the morning.

Nite nite orl
