Dalyan – 1st October

I went in to October with a bit more optimism and stability, even if it was just knowing that I no longer had to live out of a suitcase, or remember which one had my travel towel in. I was awake at 3.20am on Tuesday 1st October, which was unusual for me, but then I couldn’t get back to sleep. I had fruit and quark for my breakfast with a cup of Yorkshire tea and decided to check out some healthy recipes. I intended to do some batch cooking so that Captain Caveman and I could enjoy some healthy home cooked food once he arrived and without us having to spend too much time cooking curries – they always taste better after they have been batch cooked and in the freezer, anyway. For lunch I had another pasta dish, Slimming World style, but then was peckish in the afternoon and had to try the jam which Vanessa had made for me. It was excellent strawberry jam and it was a good job there were no scones or kaymak (cream) nearby. I did a lot of writing and tidying today as I was trying to get organised in readiness for Linda arriving in Dalyan for a week, my parents’ return and, of course, Captain Caveman being back home.
For dinner I had left over diet coke chicken with steamed rice and ended the week on 205 syns after ‘accidentally’ snaffling some ice-cream. It was a bit foolish of me as I had been pretty good all week and had been expecting to have lost at least half of what I put on last week.
