Days 9 + 10

I've had a tricky weekend, partly because the boyfriend was here and partly because I had a bit of insomnia on Friday night and had to take a nap during the day on Saturday to stop myself from falling over in a useless heap.

I got up around 7AM on Saturday after laying in bed for 4 hours and failing to get any sleep. I had a soup sachet, a slice of toast some water and some tea but couldn't manage the fruit and yoghurt I had planned. I ate pasta and ham salad for my lunch as soon as I woke from my nap in the late afternoon but couldn't manage another sachet at that time so I had it a few hours later.

While I was asleep, the boyfriend went out shopping and by the look of what he bought, it seems he totally forgot about my diet. He spent a small fortune on things I couldn't eat; pork belly, smoked-mackerel, white bread, sweetened soy milk and various other things and he forgot half the stuff I asked for! You could really tell he'd been to the pub first. I guess that'll teach me for not doing it myself. Later while I was preparing some dinner for myself, I realised he had also bought enormous quarter-pounder Quorn burgers instead of the regular sized ones. I'd already started cooking it before I noticed how massive it was so I had to eat it really but it did look quite amusing hanging out of the tiny wholemeal roll.

Much later that night, early morning really, I was still awake due to my lunchtime nap and was feeling so hungry I could scream. Even my fruit dessert and a huge mug veggie bouillon didn't take the edge off it and I'm ashamed to say I had a toasted corned-beef sandwich with pickle. I guess it could have been so much worse with all the fatty meat in the house but I'm still pretty ashamed.

Even though I woke up really late on Sunday morning, I did my best to be a good CDer. For breakfast I had my fruit and yoghurt, a chicken and mushroom soup sachet, also instead of jam on my toast I just had a little bit of low-fat spread on it and dunked it in my soup, very nice! For lunch I had a Quorn burger and salad followed by a vanilla sachet blended with lots of ice and some instant decaffeinated coffee and for my dinner I had a ham and pasta salad. I've swigged plenty of water over the course if the day, I'm not sure how much, I forgot to count but I'm sure it's enough. I've been very well behaved!
