Day 5

I woke up this morning feeling surprisingly bouncy as soon as the alarm went off - very unusual for me. In fact I was feeling really good (not what I was expecting for Day 5 after reading the PB). Unfortunately the day didn't get off to a very good start as I forgot my work pass (and restuarant card) so instead of scrambled eggs & bacon in the restaurant for £1.50 I ended up paying over £4 for some ham and dairylea cheese from Tesco Metro - worse still apart from some chicken tikka bites (no way at 7am) they were the only things in the whole shop that I could eat!

Apart from that bad start and the onset of a stress headache (my diet one has finally gone) I carried on feeling quite good all day - seem to have loads of energy and once I calmed down the headache went too. I enjoyed my salad nicoise at lunchtime, but forgot I was supposed to have some vinaigrette with it and I'm sure it would taste even better with that. Instead I had some mini babybels to ensure that I was having fat with my protein. For tea I wasn't feeling too hungry so I had a chocolate protein shake and had some ham when I got home after the pub. Amazingly wasn't even feeling too tired when I finished at the pub, certainly not shattered like I normally am.

Find of the week is definitely the choco aztec spice tea. It really does smell of chocolate, and with some double cream added it even tastes a bit like a hot chocolate (very weak of course but still a bit chocolatey) so I'm treating myself to one every night. Let's hope I continue to feel as good and as positive as I feel today.
