Shoot went well but am thankful it's over! I've had horrible tummy ache all day.
I completely screwed up my food though! Gosh... Lunch on set was OK- I had pasta with cheese which was light- but probably 60g of it... Not sure how much constitutes for HexA of that light stuff... Also had broccoli and cauliflower with it. I explained my dietry requirements to the woman in charge of catering beforehand so that was OK. A couple of syns for the light alpro soya cream stuff, a couple of teaspoons of it mixed into the pasta (1 syn?)
BUT then EVERYTHING went tits up as it was the Director's birthday and his gf had made this INSANE brownie cake! It had home made reese's cakes, marshmallow fluff and caramel stuff all over it and was the most epic desert ever- WOAH. AMAZING. Anyway, I asked for just a tiny bit and it was smaller than everyone else's portions but it was still a LOT. I know that marshmallow fluff is only 1 syn per tablespoon and that was the second biggest ingredient- so 2 syns there. But the brownie needs about 16 syns according to my handbook, and I'm going to throw in a bunch more syns because of all the other sh*t inside it! But WOW it was great- I needed that
my period cravings yesterday were bravely controlled but today I needed something to give me a boost on set!
Anyway, so let's say I've had about 25 syns there- yesterday I had 2 syns and no dinner so I'm going to say that cancels those saved syns out and most of today's too.

B: Potato pancake (potato, onion, carrot, egg) with scrambled eggs + Hex B Olive oil + Ketchup (1 syn)

Didn't have much for dinner- felt really hungry but no appetite, if you know what I mean? I wasn't in the mood to eat but felt this painful empty pit in my stomach from hunger... Doesn't happen often that I don't WANT to eat, lol. Anyway, managed to convert it to a green day so could count the cheese at lunch for 2 HexA's. Have cooked chicken for tomorrow and will be going for a red day!
My old consultant (I'm still on the mailing list) wrote an email about passover and that 1 large Matzo counts as a HexB! COOL! I don't celebrate passover but my dad's side are semi-Jewish (failed Jews who don't celebrate anything Jewish but do celebrate Christmas, basically) and I enjoy Matzo (with pickle and cheese!) so that's nice to know
however- Tesco's have 2 for £3 deal on CHEWY DELIGHTS! So I bought 4 boxes! I also finally found the Alpen light Lemon drizzle flavour which I'm keen to try. ALSO I bought about ten different flavours of green tea! They were 2 for £2 for Twinings boxes so have enough to last me like a year
we did a 10pm Tesco shop and didn't get home until about 11.30- we were in there AGES but that place is HUGE. Spent £150!! *gulp* though £20 of that was on pressies for G's mum's bday- a big Thorntons easter egg filled with small Thorntons chocs and an orchid plant.
Feel knackered after the shoot but glad to be able to rest now- next shoot is Thurs next week with the same crew, but will (fingers crossed) be a later start. I felt quite energised and inspired when I got home and wrote down some visual ideas for things I'd like to film- I'm so often hired as cameraman/cinematographer but I need to get involved in more of my own projects with film that I direct myself, to boost my self-shot portfolio as a solo shooter. So many people are interested in hiring me as a solo-shooter and I could really expand my horizons if I edited together some more pieces for my directing portfolio!
