Things have been much better today. Well, the food part has anyway!
Dragged myself out of bed at the reasonable time of half nine (I DO have flu you know!) and started the day with half a grapefruit (no sugar) and a glass of cranberry juice.
After getting washed and dressed for the first time in almost a week, I had two crumpets with a tiny slick of butter and headed outside to see if my car would start.
The poor little thing was under at least four inches of snow and I got fairly puffed out scraping it all off! Eventually it was all gone and it even started first time, result! With that done, I went to the pharmacy to stock up on cough medicine (I can't go back to work until it's better) and then came home and collapsed onto the sofa. It was my first physical activity since last Thursday and I spent the rest of the day curled up in bed, reading.
Once I'd scraped myself off the sofa, I had a snack of apples and (low-fat) cheese and a handfull of unsalted peanuts. Yummy. Later on I had a packet of salt and vinegar mini ricecakes and a satsuma - anything to get my Vitamin C levels up!
Tonight I'm having leftovers from yesterday so it's sweet chilli tuna once again! Tomorrow I'm going to try a veggie noodle stir-fry so I'll let you know how it goes and post the recipe if it's any good!
This evening's snacks will be the other half of the grapefruit (no sugar) and then two more oranges.
My cravings haven't been too bad today, apart from when I watched Generation XXL on 40D which gave me a hankering for KFC but some browing on ASOS soon distracted me enough until they went away!
The programme is really interesting, looking at childhood obesity in the UK but letting the kids tell us what it's like and how they feel. If you want to check it out, go to:
So that's it for today, not bad for one where I was ill!
See ya,
