Half way there

whatcanieat:

Halfway through my six day week and I’m still feeling those positive vibes. I think it’s been a good week so far and I plan for it to continue that way.

The stomach was a little painful this morning so I’ll need to keep an eye on that, but hopefully it’s just a morning thing and not going to continue throughout the day. The bloat has gone down now too so I’m feeling a little less self-conscious.

Got through another day

whatcanieat:

I’ve been quite energetic today, which is surprising. Even though I didn’t sleep too well, I didn’t need a caramel tea in the afternoon. I keep expecting to crash just alfter lunch like I used to but I don’t. I hope this isn’t the calm before the storm, so to speak, and that I am just back in remission.
The cold hasn’t been too bad today either; the cough and sniffles are ever present but far less persistent. My head is threatening to hurt at the moment but it’s enough for painkillers yet.

My stomach was a tad painful this morning but even that’s gone down. I just hope that whatever I have for dinner doesn’t make it worse.

whatcanieat:

Having gluten-free chicken pie, potato waffles and beans for dinner. I don’t think I’ve eaten too well this week so this is probably the first proper meal I’ve had. I’ll try and do this more often.

In other news, I was strangely energetic today. So much so that I only had one caramel tea all day. My cold certainly seems to be going so I’m feeling a lot better than I was over the weekend. I know I’ll be exhausted after work on Sunday, but at least I can relax for two days after. I still have my weekly blood test to go to on Monday but that’s the only thing I need to go out for. Otherwise, I can just chill and recover from the long working week. I’ll likely put aside some time to make more bracelets. I’m going to try and work out a few more generic designs but we’ll see. I’m finding it quite relaxing.

Day 2 of 6

whatcanieat:

I didn’t sleep too well last night but I’m feeling strangley awake this morning. I’ve got my caramel tea and am just waiting to start work.

The weather is pretty cold today so I need to stay warm; lots of layers and heating are the key I think. I don’t want this cold of mine to return. I’m going to try and have another good day today.

One down, five to go

whatcanieat:

I am feeling much better this evening. I’m still sniffing like mad but the cough has been less frequent. I’m looking forward to a relaxing evening of bracelet making and eating a delicious dinner. I don’t know what I’m going to have yet, but I’ll decide when I get home.
I have a feeling this week will be a good one, even if I am working an extra day.

Day 1 of 6

whatcanieat:

I’m back to a full week of work this week, plus Sunday, so I’ll be working six days in a row. I don’t know how yet, but I will do this. I just need to make sure I go to bed early, eat the right things/enough, and try not to stress about anything.

I’m feeling a lot better as the cold seems to be going, and I think I slept ok last night. The cough is still here but nowhere near as bad as it was over the weekend. I’m going to try and have a good day.
