  Weather Mostly dry, a bit chilly.   Sleep and Symptoms Status   Last night I had two sleeps. I also had an early afternoon nap.   My intermittent fasting window is currently 11:30 – 19:30, however this may have to be adjusted when it is better for me to take my medications spread across the day.   I’m still burping (a bit).   Positives   I’m back at Bannatyne’s and it is going well. I think the magnesium capsules had something to do with my illness.   Planning permission has been refused. At least I now know where I stand.   Couch to 5K progress – week 4 is complete. Last run was week 4 run 3 on the Caerleon cycle path.   Daily Entry (to be completed at end of day)   One minute job:                Tidy clothes Ten-minute job:                You to me b...

  Weather Probably dry when I’m still in London but rain in the afternoon in Newport.   Sleep and Symptoms Status   Last night I went to sleep at midnight. I slept for five and a half hours (I woke up once).   My intermittent fasting window is currently 11:30 – 19:30, however this may have to be adjusted when it is better for me to take my medications spread across the day.   I’m still burping (a bit).   Yesterday, I took my meds at 07:00 and 19:00. In the evening, by about 18:15, at the O2 Arena (Peter Kay) I had awful stomach cramps. I had taken my Magnesium supplement at 17:30. Did that have anything to do with it? My meds took effect and things quietened down later but I was burping a lot at the start of the show. I will stop taking supplements and see what happens.   Well-being statistics capture Six screenshots to capture: ·          Yesterday’s BB high / low stats ·   ...

Weather Some rain showers mostly dry. I went to London to see Peter Kay. I kept packing to a minimum. Small red Tripp suitcase and my backpack. I got the bus from the Wok Inn to the station. The train barrier at Newport restricts passage for advanced ticket travellers until earlier trains have departed. The man at the barrier let me through so I could get a coffee at Platform 4. Train journey was OK. Electric trains serve the route these days. I got the Bakerloo Line & Jubilee Line to North Greenwich where I jumped on a bus at bus stop “A” for two stops to get closer to the hotel. The hotel is OK. I booked some food (Click and collect) at Five Guys at the O2 arena for 18:45. This way of doing things meant that I didn’t have to queue to place an order. However, I still had to wait a long time for my food to arrive. It was a bit chaotic at the pick-up counter. There was a Deliveroo man who was worried about the wait time. On the way to the O2 I had started suffering from stomac...

  Weather Rain until mid to late afternoon.   Sleep and Symptoms Status   Last night I went to sleep at 09:30. I woke up at 04:35. Overnight sleep time: 6:52, which may be adjusted. Yesterday I implemented an intermittent fasting regime with a window of 11:30 – 19:30. I’m still burping (a bit) and I have a twinge front right below my ribs (maybe due to exercise). I had a vivid dream about old photos and WWI.
