So.... week two begins today. My food check in for today is in a separate entry here but I thought I would post an entry once a week about progress in general and how things are going.
Surprisingly enough one week without coke and chocolate and I've not had any headaches. It's quite common usually that when I give up coke and/or chocolate I get really bad migraine type headaches, often with nausea as I withdraw from the caffeine so it's huge that hasn't happened. Shows what happens when you do something at the right time I suspect.
On the whole I've not missed a lot of the things I've given up which is huge. Obviously I've had two sausage and bacon baguettes so that's been a struggle but I've not missed pizza, and I've not really missed chocolate and coke. I did have to resist the urge to go to the chippy on Saturday night, particularly once it was relatively late and due to things going wrong right when I'd planned to make dinner (which we won't discuss) I'd not eaten. But I managed it. Which is huge!
This week I need to get more exercise and actually take my supplement as well as my meds.
I'm beginning week two with a 2lb weight loss. Not the most amazing week one loss ever but that'll do - especially as I have my period now.

A Summer's Picnic
(and the rest of the days eating too.)
My sister and I went over to Millet's Farm Centre today. We had a long wander around and also took a picnic with us. I slept late and got up only half an hour before we left so again had no breakfast, just started the day with a glass of squash.
I didn't have anything in for a sandwich (somehow I'd ended up with barely enough sandwich stuff left for half a sandwich) so I took water, raisins, and cereal and planned to buy something there. I was very tempted by some pork pie but they looked like they were 1) a bit big and 2) would be difficult to eat with just my hands. So I got a sausage roll and a piece of shortbread to have along with my raisins and water. I didn't eat the cereal after all. I treated Sophie to a sausage roll and a cupcake too.
I also got some peppers, potatoes, carrots and mushrooms in the farm shop before we left. I didn't buy any plants although I was tempted. I figured it was better to wait until I get my garden sorted out and actually by what I need.
We went for a wander around the out of town shopping area after we went to Millets, mostly looking for a new bed for me and getting stuff for Soph's rabbit. We popped into the big tescos there and I got a very cheap nail varnish, a sun hat and a necklace and matching earrings as well as a few small bits of food. I seem to have once again forgotten to buy any dairylea or similar though.
I drank my entire bottle of water (I took my refillable one which I think holds 600ml), a bit of Sophie's water and then bought a 500ml bottle in Tesco which I finished once I was home. We were out for much longer than I thought we would be and it was hot! Plus, I did all the wheeling myself apart from a little bit up hill on gravel which S and I did between us.
When I got home I discovered that I had my period which totally explained why I was struggling emotionally yesterday. That meant I needed to start taking my mefenamic acid and as that's with or after food (as it's an NSAID) so I had to tiny bit of sandwich chicken that was left.
I had jacket potatoes with cheese for dinner (that's one of my favourite meals) and I've had two pints of squash. I need to go grab another drink in a minute.
