Thank you both!
I do feel like a vampire lol!
After lastnights episode I took a tablet again and will keep taking them until I can leave the house to see the doc.
I didn't get to sleep until 3:40am ish, I woke 4 hours later at 7:44. Duncan is off school as the weather is so bad here I don't feel safe having him go on the bus. Last year a bus was toppled over and ended up in a river because of the winds, his school roof was ripped off too
trees are coming down all over the county and I would rather him be home while the weather dies down. We don't live in the same town as the school so he goes on the public bus which takes an hour.
I don't care if it makes me a bad mum in some people's eyes, I just want him home and safe.
He's made me a cup of tea in bed and some raisin crispy slices. I really like them, I get the from tesco but you can get them in Aldi and lidl, they are like go ahead biscuits. 165 cals for 3 and they do me for breakfast.
I don't feel that sleepy but I'm going to stay under the covers for a bit where it's warm. I like to get the house work done before bed so there's nothing immediate to do.
Dunc is happy killing bad guys on his xbox and the cats are happy and fed so if I fall asleep I fall asleep. I only got 4 hours :/
As I had a small gap in the tablets and I took one last night, I feel nauseous again today :/ that will keep me on the straight and narrow diet wise at least.
Scales have been tracked but nothing's showing on the Royal Mail website, it'll be a miracle if they show up today. My guess is Saturday or Monday.
Tea tonight is chorizo and bean stew again. I do love it, it's so easy to make and so tasty and perfect for the cold weather. I go months without making it but when I make it once I remember how yummy it is and then add it to the weekly rotation
Joe wants me to make a braided loaf again to go with it so I will attempt that later. Not sure if I have enough flour but I do want to look up the recipe for making french bread and maybe try that.
Me and Joe made a list for next weeks meals last night. It makes life and eating healthy so much easier when I'm prepared. So often he's come home from work and I've not got any out of the freezer or ive been so depressed I can't even get out of bed and we've ordered in. It's so expensive and so not good for us.
The last few times though (before xmas) I had chosen wisely. Instead of crispy beef or pork in batter with noodles and chips and sauce I had ordered schezuan beef with plain rice and it was nice. Loads less calories. Same if joe and Dunc had pizza, I would have chips and beans. Not the best but better than loads of cheesy dough.
It's nice to know I can be restrained so if in the future we ever do have a takeaway as a treat (like normal people do, not every other night!) then I know I won't ruin my diet.
I'm feeling a lot more positive today. It's the weekend
joe isn't working tomorrow and I'm looking forward to having him home for 2 days.
I can't bear it when he's not here, I do miss him a lot. He's as mad as me and we do have a laugh together
I am considering going out for a walk on the weekend. In the dark though. So maybe after tea one night. The beach is about a minutes drive away but has THE BIGGEST HILL YOU EVER SAW to get to it so there's no way I could walk there and back so we could drive there and have a walk across the front in the dark
weather depending of course. It's been so bad here lately. Yesterday a big gust tore through the house as we keep the window open for the cats, and it pushed the hatch to the attic!! Scared me half to death! I imagined a thousand spiders falling out and eating me. Ugh!
Anyway, nonsense over. Have a good day everyone xx
