#BlogLife1106 - Low quality ice poles

I'm not sure where I found the energy today, on a few hours sleep.

The only morning Iceland slot was 8-10am which means 7.30am wake up, oof brutal, drifting in and out of sleep, from 6ish, trying not to miss the alarm.

But managed to take the bins out and have a morning dance party workout with party music, invigorating while packing away the shopping.

It's worth sacrificing sleep, because G delivered in bags, so no bending self packing or confrontational drivers...

I needed snacks and grocery ordering is hard when there's no hunger, so I thought stick with the basics..

Crackers, cheese, pasta, hotdogs, croissants, and a whole load of snacks...

The new things this week will be Tango blue raspberry icepoles, 12x £1.75, hopefully much nicer than the R Whites, couldn't stand it, had to bin the rest...

Mr Freeze, the milk lollies and the orange lollies are still all out of stock and the cornetto didn't appeal, actually if the almond Magnum had been on sale, or the knock off Majestic, I would have been tempted, but nope..... £3 I think...

Too much money! Next Seabrooks worcester sauce 6x £1.60, me and Mama used to love this flavour in McCoys crisps, but it was too salty...

Maybe it's improved? Worth a shot. I can't stop yawning..

The next, I'm not sure I've tried Slimming World, fruit and nut hifi bars, I know, years ago, they had a nutty cereal bar, that was scrumptious, let's see how this is...

Pricey, 4 or 6 bars for £2.65, ouchy but supposedly healthier..

That's it really. It feels good to use the face brush again, I didn't pack it, trying to keep the bag light..

And my face is once again butter smooth, a few light pimples but not surprising, as I'm due on soon.

I almost forgot about the weekend pampering, but yesterday, remembered to use the face mask.

My elbows are healed from the cracking. I'm almost finished with the second mini Garnier face wash...

Ugh I am so desperate to find a grocery shop, that takes cash. I don't have the physical capabilities to browse while the buses aren't running and I need stuff...

All the items came, but it was funny, they were out of tissues, so must have broken apart a four pack of Kleenex and gave me 2x I think..

I only ordered 1x, but I think the Kleenex is smaller? I'm not sure but happy because I was completely out and down to my last box, so that was kind, to give me 2x.

I just made brekkie because being up early, I felt peckish, had a jam doughnut first, I want sugar..

Then checked, oops the waffles expired, so got the Ryvita, rye crackers, tried one with butter and cheese, one with salmon and cheese and yum, that was tasty actually.

What I will say, is because it's on the dry side, you need butter, or fake butter as I use, less calorific...

And then it's more enjoyable to eat, but that was a nice lightish snack, which will fill me for a while maybe, not eating much, so I wanted more snacks than meals really.

I have wine gums, crisps, cereal bars, mini strawberry trifles and starburst/opal fruits, chewy fruity sweet that's refreshing to munch.

Lastly the Viennese biscuits with cream and jam because all this has to last a week or maybe two...

During hormonal times, my appetite wildly ranges, one minute it's small and the next, can't get enough food...

It's a relief though, to be at the stage of eating and not putting on weight since 2022..

I just could not maintain weightloss at all, unless I resorted to starving myself and I was fed up with that..

Pretending I wasn't famished.. But now I can balance, between healthy and regular and not crave excess.

It makes life and my mood so much easier.

Yesterday tried the tango blue raspberry icepoles, yuck, that same sickly artificial sweetness, I hate it.

I can't catch a break on them.
