I started well...

...with a slimfast in fact!

Managed to get about 4 hours sleep in the end. Not that great. So it's 10.40 and i'm writing this in bed with the intention (or hope) of being full of working painkillers, pain free and fast asleep within moments if pressing "post"! In fact I wouldn't even complain if I fell asleep mid-blog.

Today has been "one of those days". I went out about 12 to see a friend about making a wedding cake for the wedding I'm a bridesmaid at in November. My first solo expedition into the big wide world since all this started. That didn't really bode well for a good lunch after my well behaved breakfast. I had 2 packs of nik-naks. D'oh! Then went to the bakery on the way home for a loaf of bread and ended up with cream cakes and a carrot cake (only a little one) because they were selling them off at the end of the day and everyone loves a bargain, right? On the plus side I now have 4 loaves of bread and a bag of rolls in my freezer so no need to go back to the bakery for a while.

As I was having such an incredibly successful day I had an incredibly sensible dinner. Lasagne and a bucket load of chips no less.

(Salad? What is this mythical salad? Do I win the worst start of diet dinner award? Is there an award? Does it come with a prize? Is it a cream cake? Oh. Not a cream cake, huh? In that case I don't mind if I win or not.)

What a waste of a slimfast huh? But I suppose at least I tried.

I need to come up with something filling but not particularly tasty that I can carry round with me for when I feel poorly. Almost as ballast. All suggestions considered. Failing that I'll apply my fiendish mind to the matter. In a few years I may have a solution!

I hadn't really intended to start dieting again when I started blogging again last night. It was more to do with a sudden desire to get everything off my chest and maybe find a way to shift enough of the pressure for me to be able to breathe. But I started the day with the right idea so tomorrow my plan is to start right and make it last a little longer than today. Eventually I may manage a whole day.

I'll start as I mean to go on, then maybe go on as I did at the start.

TTFN
