2nd Oct 2019 – good food day, some exercise and emergency housework!

Evening all, hope this post finds you well.

Got a message from Paul before he left work to let me know our eldest niece is coming round tomorrow, so it’s gonna be a takeaway. I’ll have to try and order the least bad thing going.

What our nieces visit also means is that I’ll need to do a quick tidy up and hoover. That’s fine, half hour, done.

However….

When Paul actually got home, he informed me how my birthday present day (which us next week) in two days time is going to play out… and as soon as he told me I went into OMG frantic mode!

So, Paul has bought me a fabulous present which takes place this Friday! I’m going foraging with an expert!!! Now, I can not wait for this, this is something right up my street! Paul has, yet again, thought of something perfect, a full day out walking in the country, and feeding my inner cave girl 😊.

So what’s the problem? You might ask, the problem is this, the chap is then coming back to our home to show us how to cook with our foragings! OMG you know when you haven’t done housework properly for a while, surface cleans only? That, I’m ashamed to say, has been me over the last couple of weeks!

Well… that was it… dinner downed then on to full on housework, I mean, top to bottom, sides scrubbed and disinfected, floors hoovered, swept and mopped to within an inch! Can the loo porcelain shine any more brightly? And the pile of clothes now put away!

Worn out!

Anyway, it’s done now, I can allow this stranger to use my kitchen now, I’ll even allow him to use the bog! 🤣

So that was my last couple of hours, now on to business.

Food – 28g nuts, 160g fruit including pineapple, strawberries and grapes, salad for lunch, banana and hard boiled egg in the afternoon.

Dinner was oven spuds, oven peppers, mushroom and onions, chicken fillet in Maggie sheet.

Fluid – 200ml milk, 1l water, 1 squash (sugar free) with diet lemonade, 1 cup of tea.

Exercise – only stretches today at lunch time (working from home), had planned to do cardio or strength tonight, but housework took over.

There will be yoghurt with seeds and honey later, and another water.

Hope I can have discipline tomorrow night with take away, I’ve done it before when we went round to my sister in law, I know I can do it. Maybe I should save my salad to have with a piece of chicken or a slice of pizza. Let’s face it, I won’t starve if I don’t have my salad at lunch time!

Anyway, enough from me for today 😁

Night!
