Today I was told that my nurse was leaving because she is very ill with a serious illness. She is a massive reason why I’ve done well and I really hope she gets better. She never looked down on me she just offered support but honesty. That worked for me. Sometimes you need someone to have blind faith in you when you don’t have any faith in yourself.

I’m looking at ways of freshening up this blog. Updating it every day is a chore I’m sick of! I’d rather adjust this than start screwing everything up which really isn’t an option.

I went to the gym today and did a good workout. Tomorrow I am taking the day off from the gym as I’ve a busy day at work. Today I ate well and had pasta, mince and peas for tea. I am really enjoying this tea at the moment, more than chicken presently.

Breakfast is always 5 for weetabix. 3 months of testing and I’ve worked that one out to the ‘t’. 6 is too much, 4 is not enough. Tea is fairly static, but the challenge is lunch.

This proved to be the case today. We took a battering at the Football and I am going to review whether I can commit to the disruption of my routine moving forward.

A bad day today. I had a naughty lunch and went to a friends and had just one (ONE!) slice of pizza. Bang, the sugar levels punish me hard. There is really no hiding place at all! Will do well tomorrow and then on. I’m still shaking this cough and cold.

I have a really bad cold which is settling on my chest. I went to the gym today and enjoyed it although my arms are totally weak. I will be working on building strength in the next few weeks and months.

Went to the gym today but didn’t do any cardio as I’m playing golf tomorrow.

Today was an example of me having a day off from my optimal food, which is ok in the general scheme of things, however, I did not adjust well. I over-compensated at tea having planned for a meal out with friends and snacking before returning from Football. I ended up high at tea and low before bed.

Today I had Standards Committee at 10.00am then gym in the afternoon with a friend. I had Porridge for breakfast and scrambled egg on brown toast for lunch. I have an issue in my eyes which needs referred to a specialist which doesn’t look major but needs further treatment. It is a reminder to stay on top of what I’m doing, which I was doing anyway but it gives an additional reason to say no to temptation.

I had a good gym session today and concentrated on weight training after heading for lunch and then Durham for a few odds and ends. A good day.
