I saw a friend today who has been reading this blog (Hello Coral!) but hadn't seen me since well before I started CD and she said she could really see the difference. I was slightly surprised because although I feel a little different and my clothes are feeling more comfortable, I don't see any real difference yet when I look in the mirror. Perhaps that's just because I see myself every day and she hasn't seen me for about 2 months or maybe my brain is having trouble catching up with my body. Anyway, it was a great little boost for my self esteem and I'm going to allow myself a touch of smugness.
I've been working from home again for most of today. It was fun creative stuff rather than the usual technical stuff and even though I was pretty busy, no amount of fiddling with artwork is enough to burn up all the extra energy I seem to have these days. By the evening I was desperate to go out so I went to the supermarket to buy real actual food for the boyfriend. My local big supermarket is just over a mile away so I stomped there to the dulcet tones of V/VM on my mp3 player then stormed around and grabbed everything I needed to the merry melodies of Venetian Snares (and no, I didn't get stuck staring at pizza and pies again) I didn't have much to carry, seeing as only boyfriend is eating and I only needed some peppermint teabags for myself, so I decided to walk home. I got to the crossing outside the shop and pivoted slightly to press the button to cross and as I turned my knee gave out! I had to hobble to the bus stop and get a bus home instead. Fortunately, by time I got home the throbbing was subsiding a little and the 4 floors of stairs weren't too bad but I was feeling rather cold and despondent. I'm just glad I'd only had 2 sachets during the day so I could cheer myself up with potato and leek soup and it really worked.
Even though I'm sitting here with a really sore knee, I feel really happy with how the day has gone. I haven't been feeling hungry and each time I go out food shopping or cook, it's slightly less stressful than the time before.

So sorry to hear about your knee - hope it's getting much better now. You are doing really brilliantly now, you know that. You've barely cheated. Interesting that when you do cheat it's not with a bit of broccoli, more likely to be a more concentrated food. I think they're technically more acidic in that new jargon. Keep it up and keep writing, love reading it.
