Day Four on Elemental

Woke early today, how dare the sun shine in north yorkshire!  I was aching all over and felt very lethargic doing the usual morning routine.  Needed to get into work a little earlier, so rushed off to the local tesco to get some water on the way.  Soon had to turn around, had forgotten to take my feed out of the fridge, bugger!!

Think it may have been my head saying to give it up.  To think how many times i have went mad at Callum for leaving his back pack behind on a morning, maybe it was a case of just desserts!!

Felt quite perky this morning, i am moving jobs in 6 weeks, so decided to weed all the files i have left alone for the last 3 years got it all done in a couple of hours.  Few people came in and kindly donated cash as they had had problems donating via www.justgiving.com/fabed A few more with promises, the beauty of my job is that most of the important people in the regiment rely on my assistance to get certain things done.  Bribery is a wonderful thing,

"whats that sir, you need x y and z"

"No problem, however it is going to cost!!"

The headache was still there this morning, quite sharp behind my eyes so had to resort to neurofen, did the trick nicely.  Went to a meeting with my feed, lot of yukks and "what the hell is that".. Challenged some to give it a try, unsurprisingly no-one bothered after they had smelt it.  Must have been enjoying my strawberry flavoured feed this morning, drank nearly the whole bottle by 12pm.  

There must have been a plot to wind me up, lunchtime came and people swarmed in with offers to go to lunch, threats of violence made them disappear just as quick.    Afternoon went by slowly and i was definitely flagging today.  One of my officers has a pronounced stutter, i was trying to explain something to him and could not get the words out, not stutter but definitely stumbling over the words.  Same thing happened when trying to explain something in a book of regulations i know inside out, i just could not think of the right way to explain it.

Was it just lack of food, not sure as the elemental is supposed to give all the required nutrition, calorie wise i thought i would be on around the same if i kept to the 10 30am and 2 30pm.  It is amazing how much difference that extra piece of toast or a biscuit makes!!

Must admit to dreading going home tonight, michelle was making chilli!!! one of my favourite foods, luckily got in and everyone had eaten.  Have to say, by 7 pm i was starving, drank my next bottle no problem.  My lack of energy later in the day has been surprising, right time to watch Al Murray, so to carry on a theme, what have i noticed today?

1.  Soldiers are big girls, it's just like milshake (well sort of)

2.  Callum always complains of headaches, i think i may now know why!

3. I don't know if i even want to have milk in my tea after monday?

4. I have one follower, now that's popularity!!

5. Josh's friends have too much time on their hands, cheers Tom for reading!

6. I am in absolute awe of anyone who lives on this stuff

Steves Mood has changed over the last few days!  thats what the kids and I have noticed.
