Day Five!

FEELINGS
Hmmm... so this is what the 'not so good days' feel like! I was starting to worry that I was going to get through the first week unscathed! Heaven forbid! Lol.
The day started ok, in fact I felt great - wasn't hungry and had loads of energy - was convinced I was in ketosis and it was all good... I didn't even remember that I hadn't had my breakfast shake until gone 11am! I made the mistake of putting 2 hermasetas into my shake - nearly had to bin it - but I persevered... then about half an hour after I'd finished it the, errr, "heavens" opened :oS
Felt horrid - spent about an hour locked in the loo at work, and then came home at about 2pm and have spent the rest of today taking it easy. Fingers crossed it gets better from tomorrow.

BODILY BITS
Well, on the upside - my back didn't ache today - so that's a bonus! :oS My stomach however is churning and rumbling for England.

FOODPACK FOCUS
Brekkie - When I finally got around to it I had a vanilla (not chicken!) shake, with a big spoonful of coffee, warmed it up and added the evil hermasetas (note to self: stick to normal sweeteners in future!)

Lunch - When I got home at about 2.30pm I made a Thai Chilli soup - really not a fan, but it had to go, and it might as well be on a day when I feel naf anyway.

Snack - Ok - the lemon and toffee bars are officially YUCK. I tried a small mouthful of each as they are, and then decided to cut them each in half and chop one half of each into two pieces and microwave to make biscuits... they ended up brown and burnt in the middle, but tasted ok. I'd be tempted to get a couple of toffee bars next week for this purpose - but definitely not the lemon ones. The peanut is the clear winner in the Bar stakes at the moment!

Dinner - Vegetable soup

WATER WATCH
Ok - admittedly today has been rubbish on the water front - only drunk about 2 litres + one shake and two soups... have felt thirsty but haven't bothered drinking because I felt so sick and horrible I didn't want anything passing my lips. I am going to make a concerted effort to drink the full four both tomorrow and Sunday before my weigh in on Sunday night!

LOO FUN! :oS
Well, I don't think I need to expand on this anymore! Let's just say I am no longer constipated :o(

Oh a non-diet topic now... got a letter from Miguel this morning... awwww!!!! He's sent me one of his leather necklaces with a beautiful piece of amethyst quartz on it to keep me strong, focused and to wish me good luck. Bless! I cannot WAIT to see him in February - another great incentive for me - although I know he doesn't care, I just want to be at my best for him. I wouldn't usually advocate long distance relationships - but I think it's actually pretty perfect during Lighter Life, haha - after all, what would a 'dating' couple do that doesn't involve going out for meals, drinks etc... answers on a postcard! And then there is the rather sexy side effects.... :oS Gulp!
