Days 84 + 85

After the last post, just before bed, I decided to do a ketostix test and I was in ketosis as I suspected. Needless to say, the last 2 days have gone quite well because I'm not feeling as hungry as I did last week.

Even after my long day on Wednesday after very little sleep, I only managed to get 4 hours sleep that night but luckily, I only had to go and see 1 client on Thursday afternoon and spent the rest of the day just pottering about, crocheting and tidying up my poor messy flat. When I got home from work and shopping, I realised I had only had 1 sachet so far that day so I had a bowl of mousse but really couldn't manage any more. I even unwrapped a peanut bar and chopped it up, but I just couldn't face eating it that night.

After 2 nights of skimpy sleep, I was a bit worried about getting a decent amount of sleep but today I woke up feeling great after sleeping solidly for almost 10 hours. I was working from home for most of the afternoon so it was a nice restful day for me with just a quick stomp to the High Street in the late afternoon for a change of scenery. I was feeling quite hungry in the morning so a few hours after my soup sachet, I had some canned tuna and spinach in sensible quantities, which really hit the spot. I may not have stuck to SS for the rest of the week as I had intended, but I'm not upset with myself, I didn't overdo it and I feel fine.

I recently heard from a very good old friend who I don't see very often. He's invited me over to see him when I go and see my family after Xmas. I need to think about what I'm going to do quite carefully because he's the only person I like getting drunk with and also, I really don't want to tell him I'm doing CD, he wouldn't understand. I think his plan consists of some sort of dinner and lots of good wine, and knowing him, it'll be some extremely good wine. I'm not really a drinker normally but I do like certain wines very much and he is a genius at picking just the right ones. So I need to have a good ponder about what I'm going to do about this, I may not see him again for another year so I don't want to get out of it. Maybe I'll have to go up to a higher plan for a while to cope with the booze then get right back on with SS afterwards. Any advice or suggestions?
