16. Food Diary Day 4

I’m calling it Food Diary from now on. Accountability is way too long a word.

I spoke too soon last night. I had terrible insomnia, and my stomach was like a vacuum, so I had to feed it at about 3am with a bowl of cornflakes with skimmed goat’s milk, and a pinch of fruit sugar - then again at 5am with ham and shredded carrot.

As my food delivery came early this morning, I didn’t eat breakfast as such. I just picked at my food as I unwrapped it.

Apple juice

1 apple

handful pistachio nuts

1 egg and a slice of Ryvita with soya spread

I had to eat the egg because it was cracked. I know I probably should have thrown it out for hygiene purposes, but I don’t like wasting food.

Usually if there are more eggs broken, I ring them and they refund me for the whole box of 12, even if only three are broken. As it was just one I didn’t bother. I did email to tell them they are losing money, and that a suggestion would be to clearly label shopping bags with eggs in, but they won’t implement it, as it makes too much sense.

Later whilst working I strated to flag. The thing about working from home is when you feel like you want to fall asleep, there’s nothing to stop you. But that would be lethal, as I’d just be awake all night again – hence:

Caffeine coffee with fruit sugar and goats milk

Lunch
Apple

Half a portion of fish pie

Green tea

Dinner
Last half portion of fish pie

Went out and drank:

2 Pineapple juices

2 mineral waters

1 litre of mineral water throughpout the day

12. Accountability Day 2

Was adding to this all day yesterday, then forgot to post it last night.

Breakfast
Porridge and raisins
Ham and Pickle

That’s right, no bread or butter – just thinly sliced ham with pickle spread on it. Pickle’s a treat too – it’s full of sugar.

Decaffeinated coffee, dash of goats’ milk and 1 flat tsp fruit sugar.


Several dried apricots. I bought these from the health food shop – sadly they contain preservative E220. So don’t assume that everything from health food shops is pure!

Half a fruit smoothie, as yesterday

Lunch
Small baked potato, with three thin slices of ham, a bit of cheese and pickle.

Snack
I cold boiled egg. I thought I’d hard boiled it yesterday, but the yolk was still soft – never had cold soft boiled egg before – it was yummy! And there’s another 2 in the fridge that I did at the same time.

I dried fig.

Dinner
Glorious Fish Pie!

Camomile Tea
