Went shopping and found some Easter eggs reduced. They come with bars or bags of chocolates. Bought a few as they workout much cheaper than buying normal chocolates. they should make me going for the next few months.

Nowadays, I find that I need something sweet from time to time so in those times I either have a small bar of choc or break and weigh the Easter egg to fit in with my normal allowance.

For a day that you say you've not had time, all of your food looks delicious and certainly sounds sensible! Keep it up, I'm having your breakfast tomorrow! Thanks for the inspiration.

Believe me it was a bad day. I was so stressed as I could not get hold of my parents and a few other things went wrong. Normally, I am quite calm and take care of everything but not locating my parents was something out of this world - specially at the moment. I had 2 bars of chocolate and 12 ryvitas with light soft cheese - did not even enjoy them. after I finally when i spoke to my parents, I felt so exhausted and went to bed but could not sleep.

This morning, everything is back to normal and my positivity is back. Already been for a walk, had a healthy breakfast, checked on my neighbours and getting on with some work.

Day 725 Saturday 25th April 2020
After STS this week, I decided to change a few things with my eating plan and see how I get on. I am going to be eating between 14:00-19:00. Although I prepare each meal in whole, I take my time to eat over 2-3 hours to avoid overloading my tummy and bloating.

L - Beef curry, rice & salad (leaves, mint, pepper, cue, tom, beetroot)
D - Cheese & blood orange sandwich, bowl of fruits (apple, banana, strawberries, Clementine garnished with mint leaves)

Fluids - 3 Black tea, 2.5 L water
Exercise - 10,200 steps, 20 km exercise bike.
Since the lockdown I have been going for short walks, but as I live by an open space and everyone is observing the social distancing, I have decided to go for a walk of 10,000 or more per day as long as it is sunny. On rainy days I will increase exercise bike km.

I am fasting in my own way. Eating window 5 hrs a day but I can drink black tea/coffee and water anytime.
Today, I put on a pair of trousers and it was far too big, but I did not have another pair suitable for this lovely weather.
