Outlook Gloomy

So after a flying start in week one, week two is turning out to be dire.

I'm still writing stuff down, but when the list says things like:

40g cereal
30g Goldfish
40g Cake
a medium sized handful of Sweet Chili Crisps
360cal Sandwich from Waitrose
1/2 Pot soup ditto
3 leftover meatballs with about 15 strands of spaghetti and a grating of cheese
4 water biscuits and 40g St Agur

you can tell that the menu planning and eating sensible meals at sensible times portion of the plan has gone out the window.

To be fair, I went to Waitrose to avoid scavenging for more crisps, and the lunch was on plan, AND I bought ingredients for a healthy and light supper (salmon, pak choi, shitake mushrooms) but David is lying on the sofa like a wet weekend (in fact, in much the same condition that Mum and Dad were in last week - so maybe it wasn't jetlag but a bug which they've kindly left behind) and only wanted to nibble a piece of toast, so dinner was off.

On the plus side, I've done all my prep for tomorrow's classes (all THREE of them, they're trying to make up for lost time by packing an extra session into each day, as if anyone can concentrate for more than twenty minutes anyway). But guess what? A new band of snow is due to pass over us tomorrow - they'd better not cancel again or there will be ructions...
