Day 90

My friend left today, she's off to Thailand for the rest of the winter which is a very sensible thing to do if you ask me. For the 2 nights she has been here, I've not really been getting much sleep, about 4-5 hours each night so I really hope I can do a bit better than that tonight. It's nothing to do with my guest at all, it's just an unfortunate coincidence that I have someone staying and am also having trouble sleeping. I'm feeling so worn out but because the boyfriend works nights, I don't want to go to bed until he gets up otherwise I wake him up when I go to bed and he wakes me when he gets up so I'm going to try and wait until about midnight if I can.

On the CD front, I've had a bit of a naughty day. I did manage to eat all my 3 CD meals but for my SS+ meal I had some of the pork I was cooking for the boyfriend which is way too fatty for CD. I didn't have a huge amount, I did really enjoy it and it meant I didn't have to go out shopping in my exhausted state so there will be no regrets and strictly no beating myself up about it.

As the evening is wearing on, I've been finding my throat is feeling more and more like I've been gargling with broken glass. Also, while I've been typing this, I've had a few sneezing fits and gone through about 10 tissues so I'm beginning to think I'm coming down with a cold. This is bad news for a couple of reasons, one being that it's getting perilously close to my Winter Solstice family dinner and the other being that I've no idea how hard it's going to be for my body to deal with on CD. I know I'm getting good nutrition on this diet so that's not worrying me, but my normal practises when I have a cold involve drinking honey and lemon and eating lots of garlic and I can't do either of those things. I think I'm just going to have to look for some sugar free throat sweets tomorrow.
