Starting of course with the important thing - my weight. It was 133 pounds this morning. Ok.  I also took my measurements and they are much the same.

Oh, another busy, busy day. I managed to get up early enough to fit in the pyramid workout and went up the first side and down to beginning the 4x in my 20 minutes. I was really rushing to get everything done, as I wanted to get out to make the buffet before the theatre. Nope! Not even close.

My husband was very cooperative as I wanted him to get up earlier than usual. Showers completed in good time. From then on everything took ages - his breakfast, getting a morning tea tray ready for the workman, getting a lunch tray ready for my husband and the carer, getting the two loads of washing out, getting the house spick and span, getting my husband fixed up for the carer. If I hadn't been so tired last night, I could have done most of this then, but it was already 11pm when I went to bed yesterday.

I had a high protein breakfast of smoked salmon, egg and avocado. It was filling and that was just as well because I missed lunch - that nice buffet. No way could I eat every three hours!!!

Before I could get the train to the city, I had to go into a retailer to buy a fridge for my son. It was on special and was the last one left. He did the investigation yesterday.

Luckily I could contact my son and tell him to go ahead and eat, as I could see I wouldn't make it. I guess it doesn't matter that much, as I would have been paying for heaps of food I could not eat, on this no carb day. But there are always heaps of prawns at that buffet...sadness. In hindsight, I should have brought some food with me, as the shops around did not have things I could eat and I did not have time before the show to look further afield. We saw Annie and both of us enjoyed it.

Needless to say, I did not have anything like my water quota today. Can't risk needing to run to the loo during a theatre performance, or being on a train , bus or light rail. I did fit in the cardio though, getting from the light rail back to the train. I really hurried for that 10 minutes so I could be home in time before the carer left.

All the snacky things that are fruit, dried and fresh, I usually have are forbidden, so I could not eat until I took in clothes, did that Meltdown, got my husband to bed and then I had a really nice dinner of grilled lamb leg chop and green salad.

Densities are down, reflecting my tiredness, no food and time of day. But I did the damn thing.


Now I am tossing up whether to do ICP. I don't think I will because being tired is going to be counter-productive. ICP is actually the one I like best because it is the shortest.
