I usually sleep really well but I noticed the other day that I'd not fallen asleep as readily as normal. Sometimes seeing 1am or 2am and I was really tired waking up for work. Saturday night I did all the things that they tell you to do for good sleep. I didn't look at my phone after 7pm. I changed the sheets, had a hot shower, moisturised all over, used my foot balm, and sprayed my pillowcase with temple spa. I slept well and went to sleep easily. Yay. But then I noticed that the week before I had opened a bottle of wine. Because Mark is on nightshifts I drank it myself. I was only having a small glass each night so the bottle lasted a whole week - the week I didn't sleep! And I hadn't had any alcohol that Saturday night. So (in the name off science) I had a gin Sunday night. Whoa and behold I didn't sleep. Tossed and turned like I'd had caffeine. Now we all know alcohol is a stimulant but I'd never suffered so acutely after such a small amount. Another legacy of my surgery. Alas, this means that I can no long drink booze... In the evening! Afternoon drinking only lol.

I've also had a few dumping episodes that I was describing the other week. I had a small piece of birthday cake at work and that set me off. And I tried a protein rice pudding but that made me feel pretty yuk too. Though I've heard that rice can be one of those tricky things to eat. I think (and I might be wrong) that it has something to do with the glycemic index. 

My new mantra is to eat delicious healthy food with occasional treats. But any treats are just things that I absolutely love. I will not waste calories on the mediocre! 

My new bras are not sexy but my goodness they are comfy. I must have very sloping shoulders because bra straps are constantly falling down - and driving me crazy. These non-wired things are all over social media so I decided (since I needed new anyway) I'd give them a try. And I love them, just fab, and straps are staying put! 

Sometimes I feel like running away, but then I remember how much I hate running!
