Damn heartburn

Friday 18th August 2023


I need to get my ass off the sofa this morning and tidy this house, I've had a lazy week on the sofa watching tele with Aryn but it needs to stop, I need to be a grown up today and start sorting out the house.  Especially as there is a possibility my 'mother-in-law' and 'sister-in-law' as he keeps calling them, might be coming to visit us next weekend!  I'm very much a take us as you find us, but even I know my house needs a tidy cos it's getting on my nerves.  They'll take our room and we'll sleep in the motorhome, our house isn't big enough and the small spare room still is full of crap lol.

Back to yesterday, my diet sucked I was treated to a Greggs sausage baguette, followed by a triple cheeseburger from maccies because it was on the app offers for £1.49.  Now I've got heartburn and the only good thing I've had all day was water.  I managed to resist the chippy on the way home to finish the day off badly, but I did have a packet of noodles, you know the really cheap versions you buy from Farm Foods or similar, I usually have them in for Aryn but just fancied them, I had them with some asparagus and a can of pink salmon.  I really enjoyed it, especially the noodles, I forgot how much I like them, but will be getting more in for sure.  I've just looked at the packet but it's all in Chinese, except the ingredients and instructions which I didn't follow and I didn't use the oil sachet in the packet either.  I've just looked on Sainsbury's website and they have similar Ko-Lee for 25p, that's a bargain, their own brand are 50p and super noodles are £1, but there is 20g more in the Sainsbury's and Super Noodles, they are supposed to feed 2 people at 219 calories each, for me they are a food that comes with good memories, for Aryn they remind him of home (Ireland). 

Moving away from noodles lol, although I could eat them again today!  I haven't even thought about what we're eating for dinner tonight, but I do know I don't want chippy like we had last Saturday, I need to get my thinking cap on, I'd quite like chicken hot pot but I'll need to go to the shops, I need to go shopping anyway, cos we need cat food, I'm on my last sachet!  

The forecast is rubbish isn't it for to day, thankfully we're not going canoeing today, we were lucky Wednesday, I do want to go and see the sunflower fields, we're gonna go Monday, Elle is coming with me because I don't think Aryn will want to.  Forge Mill Farm's sunflowers fields open (whatsonlive.co.uk) they look so good!

I've woke up feeling good, I did have wine last night and it tastes good again but I definitely plan to continue to cut down as I'm sure it makes my heartburn much worse and I woke up with it in the night, that's not discomfort I want and if I can control it myself, then I should!  My body feels so much better, I actually walked down the stairs this morning using both legs, you know one foot on one step, then the other foot on the next step.  I don't usually do that, I normally drop the left foot and bring the other one down onto the same step, before dropping the left foot again to the next step.  All these little things I'm suddenly noticing and hopefully continuing to go to the gym and the joint pain group will continue to improve my body.  The HRT patches are going to help too I'm sure, the hot flushes etc, it says it can take a few weeks for that to kick in, I'm putting my 4th patch on today, Tuesday will be two weeks since I started. 

I'm just typing now so I don't have to start on the kitchen :) I need to sort my act out, get this living room tidied too! 

Okay, I'm off, let's have a good, healthy day, no fastfood or junk for me today, I will eat healthy, I don't want heartburn again today.  What's your plan? 

Mwah, luv u

Love me x
