BIT OF A RE-THINK

 I'm having to re-think my new 'Challenge' a bit.

For the past 10 days I've had virtually NO CARBS, except what is found in lettuce, cucumber and carrot.   And I've not actually had much of that either.

As a consequence, I've had no energy at all.

I'm quite sure that's what's causing me to have 'wobbly' episodes. 

Low blood sugars.  Something (well, my body), is telling me to stop being an idiot.

So, now my Challenge looks like this:

ABOVE:  I'm adding in some more carbs.  Like a baked potato, or two slices of bread for a sandwich, or a wrap.  I hope by doing that, I no longer have the 'wobbles'.

Today is not a walk day, so I should be good. I'll have a baked potato with some meat and a side salad for my lunch (main meal).

Hopefully by tomorrow morning, when I have another walk, things will have rectified themselves.

TODAY IS DAY 11 OF 15.

Today's plan of action:  Sew runners.  I didn't finish any yesterday.  I felt really blah in the afternoon, so was a lazy tart.

It was enjoyable watching Lacy slave away in her yard, making a new garden yesterday.

ABOVE:  She's certainly making this place her own.  I'm very impressed.   It won't be too long before there's a few plants growing up and covering that unsightly water tank a bit.

She was going to put her new Olive Tree over by the water tank, but I told her it wasn't a wise move, considering there are water pipes there.  

So it went over on the other side of the little glass house.

And that's me for now, catch ya later.

I did some shopping.

ABOVE: These towels were heavily reduced in price, and because they are just the most gorgeous towels, so big and fluffy... I got me one.

Any guesses which one I got?

I got a good sleep last night, which really surprised me as I went to bed really upset.

Nothing I can/will talk about on here for now, maybe one day.  But not today.

I'm learning that you just have to accept and move on, because sometimes there is simply NOTHING else you can do.

Back in 2020, I WON the biggest battle, by thwarting others 'plans', and I got to be with my Mum, and hold her in my arms as she took her last breaths.  I am forever thankful for that.  YOU FUCKERS can't take that from me.

WHOOPS.   Let my feelings slip a bit.  Oh well... shit happens.

Housework and runners await.  Off I go.

Lacy called in to borrow some garden implements.  As she was here when the washing machine stopped, she offered to hang out my washing.

Next thing... she's going 'Eeeew, HOW RANK!"

ABOVE:  I'm like WHAT?  Seems she doesn't like the look of me pegs.

So what did she do?

ABOVE:  She went out and bought me a whole bunch of new ones!

Then she hung out the washing.

Thanks Lacy. 

ABOVE:  Meanwhile, I've made two runner tops.

It's been 'fun' working out how to get them just the right size, and still have the pattern correct.

The one on the right is #1's size worked out.

Now to work on the 2nd runner.

I'm not a fan of orders where a very specific size is required.  Messes with me brain.

I had some Greek Yoghurt and peaches for breakfast, followed up with some meat and a potato for my lunch just now.  

And I'm so happy to report ... NO WOBBLES TODAY.

No feeling sick, no light headedness, no ears ringing.  Gosh it feels so good to be feeling 'normal' again.

This evening I will just have a very light snack, maybe just a lettuce salad.

Hopefully this does the trick.

ABOVE: The skies reflection on the pool water... which I was in this afternoon.

It was sooooooo good!   It cooled me down beautifully, and even though I'm now out of the pool, I still feel refreshed.

I'm summer ready.

AND, it was so much easier to get in and out of the pool, those lost kilos make such a difference.

Still feeling AWESOME today, not ill at all.

9.52 pm:  I ended up joining Stew at the pub this evening.  It was very busy there for a change.  Lots of noisy, inebriated blokes!

Home now, and enjoying Coronation Street before bedtime.

Catch ya tomorrow.
