I have been doing better in the healthy eating challenge @Former-Member
Biggest change being in having breakfast every morning.
Have been feeling weary last 2 days and wondering if I am eating enough given my increase in physical activity 🤔

Thanks for your gentle reminder @Former-Member
I had oats (porridge) for breakfast (as always) - although I don't eat enough of it (nauseous in mornings).
Banana, museli bar, & crackers for morning tea.
One sandwich (vegies & cheese on it) for lunch.
I don't eat enough for lunch (working) - there is no lunch break.
So lunch is very rushed, always eaten whilst clients are eating.
Weight stable.
Digestion still ineffective (dodgy), probably always will be.
