1 down, 13 to go...

Here we are at the end of day 1 of LID. Interesting time had in Waitrose carefully examining many packets for their salt content, dairy content, fish content, food content - oh no that's not right I am allowed to eat still, just a little restricted.

Rice cakes with zero salt are bad - they are like dry sponges that suck up all your saliva and have little taste. Unsalted peanuts are not great either but at least they have some calories. Sesame snaps are sweet and after two packets, too sweet.

Breakfast was the first hurdle. In the planning phase I had imagined having corn flakes with some sort of fruit puree - sounds good. Looked at the packet and found SALT, then looked at all other cereal packets in the cupboard at home to find SALT in all but one, hot oats. So there we are, two weeks of hot oats made with water with crunchy brown sugar - not so bad really.

Now I was quite happy with my dinner. Cooked rice for us both and sausages for my beauty. I then chopped up the remainder of yesterday's roast dinner - left over pork, spuds, carrot, sweetcorn and purple sprouting broccoli. I fried up some mushrooms and sugar snap peas in olive oil and then chucked in the left overs. Looked quite odd but tasted pretty good.

No effects from being off the T3 yet as far as I can tell but something from my weird assortment of food today has made my side of the tummy pain come back - hmm wonder what the culprit is for that?

The most fun I had today was at pottery, here are the results.

I started by joining the individual fingers together,


then created the thumb and palm - extremely exciting!















I also received a phone call telling me the "nail" was ready at the blacksmiths. That too looks fantastic and the man who did it was very interested to ask more about my project. Promised him I would take a photo when it is all finished.

There is more to do on the right hand but I will do this when I add the wrist and forearm.

Just got so excited looking at the pics and thinking about how it may look when finished!!

Well going to hit the sack with a warm happy glow.

Another time
