I haven't posted my daily updates this week as I spent the week battling a nasty dose of flu, and just didn't have the energy. Explains my Monday food cravings too! So, while I have stuck to my sugar and gluten free, low salicylate guidelines, I have not worried about restricting or recording what I ate. I felt the need for a lot more carbs than usual, so I had them. I also used bone broths, soups and stews as much as possible. I've been taking supplements, and drank lemon & raw honey drinks a few times. We had roasted chicken and hot chips one night when that's all I felt like. I've had ready-salted potato chips with cream cheese and salmon or just sour cream several times. I've eaten quite a lot of 85% dark chocolate, and had Rich Chocolate Mousse with lots of cream a couple of times. And I've drunk enough water to fill a small lake! In other words, I listened to my body, ate what I needed, rested as much as I could, and didn't worry about the rest.
Just for the heck of it, I weighed myself this morning, though I don't think it necessarily counts for anything. Despite the high carb load, I've gone down some more - 112.6kg. But being ill can do that, and it won't necessarily stay off. Changes in cell hydration, gut bacteria etc can all cause fluctuations in body weight. So we'll see.
Meanwhile, it's now Monday morning. I still have a wretched cough, headache and am on the mend though far from 100%. So I'll be back to recording and posting meals and recipes, but taking it easy this week too.
