January 14th

The day did not start particularly well - daily weighins mean seeing normal fluctuations, and even though I was braced for it, I've put on 600g, bringing just back over 100k again. I suspect it has something with my higher-than-usual salt intake yesterday, and am not significantly distressed. However, thanks to yesterday's blister acquisition, I decided to go for a bare foot workout and redid the 10 Minute Solution DVD I tried yesterday - I'm so much worse! The Pilates section was predominantly me lying on my back panting, and I couldn't reach my toes from a sitting position (despite being able, yesterday, to smoothly bring my arms straight down and around the balls of my feet).
I shall not be defeated though! Diet is a good 70% of the work, and I'm staying on track - a breakfast of wholegrain cereals and skim milk followed by an apple; because I felt ravenous I also ate 80g of 97% fat free turkey breast, which shot my sodium intake up but filled me up for the shift. A friend left a big box of Malteesers in my pigeonhole to thank me for some help I gave her - I was very disciplined, and didn't have a single ball. But I was a little ravenous, so I had a couple of crackers (10g in total) with 25g of cheese and hour or so before my 3AM tea. That was a repeat of yesterday's pasta bake (465 calories, 11.1g of fat, 5.5g saturated fat, 25g of protein and 13.3g of fibre).
Around 5AM I started getting nasty abdo cramping and a little associated nausea, which was quite unpleasant and garnered me a lift home at the end of work, instead of the walk I'd planned. I couldn't manage anything else to eat, but had a hot shower and (after a little quiet time on line) am heading to bed. I've got a big week ahead of me and can't afford to get sick so I hope this is nothing. - Alex
