Days worth of food blogging that is... not sure what happened yesterday which meant I didn't get here but Wednesday I didn't really seem to stop much and whenever I did I had other stuff I needed to go on the computer.
Wednesday
I had a sausage and bacon baguette. Quite a lot of cranberry and raspberry squash, some water. I ended up with spam sandwiches for tea which whilst yummy are 1) not very healthy and 2) not particularly suitable as a tea type meal. I forgot to go and by what I wanted to have for tea and thought I didn't have time to go back into town and grab it. The way things went my evening plans didn't come off as anticipated so I could have done. I went to cornerstone in the evening where I had some appletise and did some writing (my mate forgot she was supposed to come meet me and I managed to leave the house without picking up my phone...) then when I got home I had some shortbread.
Thursday
I had one glass of cranberry and raspberry squash. Lots and lots of water - I think 4 pints? spaced throughout the day. For lunch I had corned beef on crackers and three bits of shortbread. In the evening I went to a CAB summer social - a BBQ with ferret racing. Apple juice to drink - 3 125ml wine glasses of it I think. To eat I had a burger in a roll, a piece of chicken, two sausages in one roll and a few crisps. Later I had I think 3 tiny flapjack bites and 3 bits of shortbread for pudding. This was a major win for me because the person who went to the pudding table for me put a few bits I hadn't asked for in my bowl too (why do people do that?! I don't get it....) including some chocolate which looked like milk and white chocolate mixed together... and if you know how much I love kinder chocolate (which this wasn't) you'll know how tempting it was for me but I passed it on to someone else. When I got home I had a glass of milk to take my "with or after food" meds with. I'm not convinced that works great but it did better than when I took it with just water on Monday and felt rubbish after....
Friday (Today!)
Today I've had 3 mugs of water (don't know why I'm drinking out of a mug rather than a pint glass like usual but I am) so far and a sausage and bacon baguette - my lunch with a friend got cancelled and I couldn't resist when I was in town.
I really need to get my eating back on track again....
20:58
Have had several more things of water which I've been enjoying a lot. I played on just dance 2 for 25 minutes so I got some exercise which I also enjoyed.
For tea I had jackets with cheese and diet lemonade to drink. Comfort food after a bit of a crying spell.
Later
more diet lemonade and 4 bits of shortbread (I was going to have 3 but that would have left one all on it's lonesome in the packet which obviously wouldn't do.)

Waiting...
...for hospital transport!. Yes, most people go to hospital in an ambulance in an emergency... I'm going in one that was booked a week in advance. I'm seeing the "neurological rehabilitation team" AKA a physio and who knows what else. I was referred for physio, anyway. Getting a bit antsy now but there's still over an hour until my appt time.
09:21
I've had a round of sausage sandwiches. Made last night and stuck in the fridge. Not that great actually. And I'm working my way through a pint of cranberry and raspberry squash, I've stuck some crisps and a big bottle of drink in my handbag. Just remembered that I meant to stick some raisins in there too.
LATER
I had a load of diet lemonade at the hospital which I then finished at sailing (I took a litre bottle as my water bottle doesn't hold enough and it was cheaper than buying a bigger bottle of water). I also snacked on some crisps and after a long wait bought a couple of biscuits. As soon as I bought those the transport turned up so they got shoved in my bag where they got turned into crumbs so I'll probably bin them.
When I got home I had some squash and some spam and chips.
At sailing I had a pint of orange juice and lemonade in the bar - yummy yummy.
And I had a bowl of rice krispies when I got home to take my meds with (and because I was really hungry)

Week Two Begins
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.

Rice Krispies with Semi Skimmed milk and a glass of orange juice to start this day! I'd rather be back in bed...
Tuesday morning update
I had some water and a glass of squash and two rounds of corned beef sandwiches for lunch.
Multiple glasses of water, some more juice and I think another 3 glasses of squash spaced through out the day/evening.
And new potatoes, sausages and spaghetti for tea.
No exercise but also, no snacks!

Easy Like Sunday Morning
OK so it's not Sunday morning being almost 9pm but I did have a very lazy Sunday morning reading an entire book cover to cover sat in the garden so thought the title apt.
I've had 1 glass of cranberry and raspberry squash, 2 or 3 (I think 3 now I'm writing this) of diet lemonade, 1 of water and 1 of orange squash so far today.
As for food:
2 rounds of corned beef sandwiches for lunch
chargrill chicken, new potatoes and peas for tea.
And so far no snacks. Must admit I am a little peckish though.
I've not done any exercise but I have been having a sort out and getting things ticked off my to do list which feels very good and is probably more important.

Saturday
Once again slept late. Got up and went straight into town to do a couple of errands after showering etc and drinking some water.
I picked up a sausage and bacon baguette for lunch which was very nice but not as nice as I had hoped. That's probably a good thing. I wish I could have taken the time to eat before I left the house and then I could have resisted the desire but I needed to be somewhere before 12 so couldn't. I had a pint of cranberry and raspberry squash with and am just about to grab a second.
This blog won't be updated again until tomorrow night most likely. I'll come back then and fill in the rest of today.
Sunday, 20:48
Returning to fill in the rest of Saturday after taking a very long break from the computer.
I had multiple glasses of water, another glass of squash and a couple of glasses of diet lemonade.
I had "pitta pizza" (wholemeal pitta, tomato puree, mozzarella, mushrooms and chicken) for my tea and I had some raisins right before bed as a taking my nitrofurantoin and mefenamic acid snack (both need to be taken with or after food).
Oh and I went out wheeling for over 20 minutes so I got some decent exercise in too :-)

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.
