Day One

Its 7.23pm and I just had dinner. I still have to eat an apply and a kiwifruit. I feel full. Hmmm...

OK where to start? I suppose when I woke up. I woke feeling terrible and had no choice but to call in sick. I've spent much of today asleep and cant say I feel significantly better now. But I have stuck to the Below The Line Challenge. Here's todays menu:

Breakfast was great - bar the sailing. But the porridge was tasty and I was glad I made the investment in the sugar. I think I've quickly worked out that it's going to be the little things that will make me happy this week - and from today's efforts breakfast was my favourite meal of the day and may well continue to be.

Lunch was... as to be expected. As the week goes on, and the bread gets drier I am sure that this will become more of a chore than anything. But I intend to subsidise lunch with fruit from now on.

Dinner was big and filling and tasty. I even had a glass of milk to ensure I used my daily allowance. And that left me 56c which I've used on fruit which has to be eaten tonight. Because it was day one I didnt know exactly how much everything was going to cost and what that would leave over.

Anyway onto thoughts for the day...

Bread - bread, like milk - has a  quota I need to meet so I dont waste it. The bread has 19 slices so I should be eating 4 slices a day - today I only ate two. I really cant bring myself to two pieces of bread. Tomorrow I need to have bread with dinner (which will undoubtedly look like today's tea)

Coffee - I miss it. Terribly.

Illness - sucks. Period

See you tomorrow!
