21st February 2017
You are what you do, not what you say you'll do.
Monday's should be my day off but my massage got cancelled so I ended up
working till nearly lunchtime, doing bits and bobs - it's very easy to get
carried away in my office. I went
to bed with a headache and I've woke up with one so I think we can safely say
it's a migraine! My eyes went all funny
last night too, I've never had that before but mom told me yeah it sounded like
a migraine - YAY! I've took a couple of
paracetamol so here's hoping it knocks the edge off or it wears off soon as.
Other than that yesterday was a good day, breakfast was eggy ham
crumpets topped with a bit of Weight Watcher grated cheese from my weekly allowance,
beans, mushrooms and tomato.
That kept me full for hours and I wasn't overly
hungry when I did eat, plus mom didn't want anything so I had a jacket potato
topped with Asda sweet chilli shredded beef (yes it's No Count), cottage cheese
and asparagus.
Didn't eat again because
of the headache and early night. Going
to drink lots and lots of water today just in case dehydration has anything to
do with it. I'm noticing I'm not thinking about 'what can I eat next' so much the
last weekend, is that No Count working its magic?
I'm fancying meat kebabs today, I have some chicken chunks in the
fridge, if I nip and get some onions and peppers, that'll be a tasty easy meal
on a bed of brown rice or in a pitta bread.
With a side of coleslaw, nice, I
can pretend it's summer and I'm enjoying a summer type meal.
I also fancy frittata, I have lots of potato to use up too, if I cut my
blog short, I've got time to go cut up a couple of spuds and get one made. Plus my brain ain't working quite yet anyway,
I've not got a lot going on up there just yet, but on a positive my head feels
better than it did when I first got out of bed.
I'll give you a couple of No Count recipe ideas to fill the page;
