I only had a couple of mouthfuls of porridge this morning before I started to feel full up, so I staggered my breakfast over two hours eating a couple of mouthfuls whenever I started to feel hungry. One could say I was getting used to eating less, but tha's not true because I don't think I am eating any fewer carbs. than before

Today has been a day for hunting around and finding whats left, and trying to make something edible from it. I used the yellow split peas to make a soup. with half a stock cube and one tinned tomato, I also added a few mixed herbs. I carefully inspected the bread for mould, but didn't find any so I used the three whole slices. My soup ran out before my bread, so I put a bit of jam on the last half slice.

I had no fresh vegetables to use today so I tried to use tinned tomatoes wherever possible and just tried to use up all the little bits that were left in the fridge. Today my energy levels have been high, I have walked to town and been for an evening walk in the park.

I have completed a week and this is what I have left to take into a new week
