Day 5

I've already finished eating for today, so I might as well post this now. I have an early night tonight, because I'm getting the train to visit my boyfriend tomorrow. I'm hoping that keeping to the calorie thing isn't too difficult while I'm there! I don't think it will be, though, because often I'm finding that 1,200-1,300 calories is actually really generous. :] Just enough room to avoid accidents.

How'd it go?

• Bowl of cheerios with semi skimmed milk -- approx. 150 kcal.
• 2 chocolate chip cookies -- approx. 190 kcal.
• Portion of Greek olives -- approx. 162 kcal.
• Bowl of tomato soup -- approx. 232 kcal.
• 4 fish fingers -- approx. 184 kcal.
• One portion of sweetcorn -- approx. 63 kcal.
• Portion of spicy dried beans (full of fibre!) -- 123 kcal.

Total for today: 1104 kcal. I think that's a perfect amount.

Today I've eaten a lot, not been hungry much at all and actually felt slightly nauseous, probably due to the Metformin. However, I think it's been an alright day. Could have done with more exercise, but I'm so tired lately - I think that's the Metformin again...

On another note:

I weighed myself. I went to the doctor's at the same time that I went on Thursday, just to see what would happen, even despite only being on Met for 5 days. On Thursday I hadn't eaten breakfast (just in case of a blood test) and weighed 70kg exactly. Today I went again having eaten a bowl of cheerios and weighed 69.8kg. I know it sounds stupid, but I was so excited! I weighed myself three times and got the same number. I haven't weighed below 70kg in YEARS. So, in five days I've lost like... half a pound? I know I shouldn't get too excited because it's probably just normal fluctuation, but still. It's the lowest number my fluctuation has ever hit. <3 I'm pleased. Please keep going Metformin!!
