the end of the reign of vegetables

The detox is over. Really stuck to it, and it's pretty much the first time I've done something like this and actually stuck to it properly. So I'm very pleased with myself. So yesterday was the first day not on it, and it was fun...at first. We had DP's kids and we had hot cross buns for breakfast (I just had one, they all had two!!!), then tuna mayo sandwiches for a picnic lunch at a farm - where we saw tiny, tiny newborn lambs...aw! - and then roast chicken for dinner. I had a glass of wine with dinner, then a glass of cava when DP got back from dropping the kids off at their mums. We had been together for 3 years yesterday so were celebrating. DP bought me a lovely silver ring with a heart on it that I had admired in a shop months ago. And then we had some chocolate.

And then I was sick. And had the runs. The Met belly hit with a vengeance and I just felt dreadful. The worst was when we went to bed and I started having palpitations and was incredibly light headed and was totally freezing. It was awful. Still feel wobbly this morning and my stomach is still a bit upset, so not fun at all. I must be more careful with what I eat with the Metformin, and I'm not having more than one drink again - I've noticed before that I just can't deal with more than one, but this was the worst.

So a lovely fruit salad with pumpkin seeds and honey for breakfast this morning, and homemade carrot and orange soup for lunch and just generally keeping an eye on the diet.

On a positive front, though, the detox did get me back to the starting weight and more - I'm now at 15 stone. I want soooo much to get down to below 15...
