Can't sleep

It is 2:24am and for some reason I am unable to sleep, so I decided to weigh myself this morning!!
I wieghed myself on 18th January and was 9 st exactly, I had lost 1 stone in 4 months and I think that was to do with the no dairy, no sugar, no alchohol and no yeast diet. I did the diet solid for 8 weeks and my oncologist wasn’t happy that I had lost weight. I now weigh 9 st 6 ¾ lbs which means that it was the diet that made me lose weight and not the illness. That is good news. I am still careful where sugar is concerned and have gone back to my odd glass of beer/wine. I have given up on the yeast diet as I missed bread. I didn’t like the bread without yeast and appreciate that I have the choice as some don’t have that luxury.
I had some good recipe ideas from Alan in Derbyshire and am trying to pursuade him to write his own cook book, I don’t think he will. He has got me eating avocado pears and I bought some for the first time and got myself some lemon juice to sprinkle on them.
(Alan, I have put them under my bananas ! )
He also had me eating peppers and celery which I am not keen on.
I do miss his soups and Heather’s juices though.
I am changing my shifts at work next week. I won’t be doing the 12 hour day anymore it will be 8 hours and I will be moving teams and will have a new manager.
I will miss my team and hope my new team are as wonderful and supportive as they were, Thanks guys.
The next big thing will be decorating and I have many volunteers who have offered to help me, It should be fun!
