Day 21

I've been feeling like crap all day again today (no shock there) and even though I almost had enough sleep last night, I still had a 4 hour nap this afternoon.

I had an uncontrollable craving for salt today, I would have happily eaten a spoonful of the stuff so I decided maybe it was time for a little controlled cheating. I made a nice dish of finely chopped bacon, lot's of vegetables (courgettes, mushrooms, spinach and a few sliced olives) and some penne pasta. Apart from the bacon factor, it was a very healthy dinner really. I didn't eat tonnes of it, there was way more vegetables in it than anything else and I drunk more water than usual which should have diluted the salt a bit so I'll try not to feel too guilty. Also, the mini cheat gave me the little boost I needed to get through the last day of my difficult week on 1000kcals per day.

I only get weighed officially every 2 weeks but I thought I would step on the scales and see how I was doing and I've managed to shift 4lbs since this time last week, although my waist measurement hasn't shifted for 2 weeks.
