Day 39

Mike -

The apple watch update sucks! Over 4 hours to get the thing updated and working again. I was pulling what's left of my hair out. It took me a while to get off to sleep last night and had strange dreams but i didn't feel overly tired when getting up this morning. I tried to punch on and get as much work as i could done today to be ahead of the game before we move. We did our 2 shakes together today and i have to say the day went quite quickly after a slow start.

Dinner was beautiful. We tried some more different curry dishes and had a bit of this and a bit of that. Some i maybe wouldn't have again but the company was great. Then we headed off for a stroll over the woods with Lexi and the pace is getting quicker and quicker. I am by no means in perfect physical condition now but much better than i was 6 weeks ago.

We are heading in to the final straight of this phase of the diet but to be honest apart from maybe adding meat to the dishes we have had i could quite happily keep punching on along this road. I just hope that it has the desired effect on the diabetes.

This evening i have some me time as Liz goes out to band so i plan to use this time continuing to read "pet semetary" by Stephen King which i am enjoying at the moment.

I woke up feeling very tired this morning and a little grotty, not helped with the stress of not knowing about our pending house move which we are hoping will still be the 18th June! It's getting a tight deadline now and i'm worrying about it all.

As we are now back to work each day seems to be the same. I start it with a lovely vanilla shake, lunchtime is a chocolate one at the moment (hoping to get some more banana shakes on our shopping this week).

Work was less stressful today as I managed to get back up to speed yesterday after our week off. Had a few meetings which passed the time throughout the day and stopped me thinking about food - food is still on my mind quite a lot but I think it's the knowing I can't eat it that makes me crave it.

We had a lovely dinner just the two of us this evening and then a walk with Lexi over in the woods. I wasn't going to join them on the evening walk as didn't think we would have time, but luckily we did and it's refreshed me and woken me up a bit. It's been so hot for her during the day that I feel bad, but atleast for the time being we have a nice old style house that stays cool for her throughout the day.

I've drunk most my daily allowance in water already today, along with a couple of cups of tea. So i'm on track for the day.

I'm off to my brass band practice now which will help me relax before hopefully another good nights sleep.
