13th Feb – Well, that was a mixed bag of a day!

Evening all,

So, there’s a few confessions. First one from last night. We went to watch Ed Byrne, as fabulously funny as I was hoping for!

However we bought, and ate an entire bag of peanut m&ms between us. And the theatre had no oasis to drink, so I had a j2o, tasty, but my word you can feel the sugar going down!

Then there was today.

Work…. AAAARGH!!!! Let’s not talk about that! Luckily half day tomorrow, so I’ll be working from home in the morning, then I’m free!

And so much for food prep! This week has been so up in the air with visitors, going out and trying to see our nephew as well, I didn’t have a salad to take to work today.

Ok, let’s break the day down bit by bit.

Firstly – I got up again and did exercising! Cardio today, I couldn’t find the one I did the other morning, so I did another one from the same youtuber, not quite as energetic but I still felt it was a good workout. I don’t know where the old me has gone to! I don’t do mornings! and yet here’s me getting up and doing! There is a bit of me that hopes I can continue.

Bodies gearing up for the monthly meltdown, which will explain why I’m a bit grumpy, as Paul can testify, not reminding me he’s not coming straight home tonight, so there’s me worrying! Frustratingly, whenever I have a go at him, he just stands there trying not to laugh… I mean! This also explains why I’m being ridiculously undisciplined with food choices.

So here comes confession number two, three and four! one chocolate biscuit, one bag of ready salted crisps, another chocolate biscuit!

HUMPFFFF

Now for some good news, I made as healthy a choice as possible from the lunch van, not brilliant, but better and more filling than a flapjack from the charity box and better than the rest of the choices the van offered.

I ran out of sugar at work, so despite really, really wanting a third cup of tea, which would have been made with normal sugar, I switched to water.

And I’m considering a walk, just waiting for dinner to go down and providing there’s no tummy rumbles (I’ve had a slightly dodgy tummy these last couple of days) then I’ll be wrapping up warm for a good walk.

So here’s the daily deal!

Sleep – not a bad sleep at all!

Food – 40g natural nuts, 60g dried fruits, 1 cheese portion, 1 pack of crisps, 2 chocolate biscuits.

Lunch was a tuna mayo and sweetcorn slightly seedy roll.

Dinner was pork and venison burger with mozzarella cheese (I thought the cheese was the healthier version but wasn’t) with a bit of sweet chutney in a brown roll, with oven cooked spuds with small sweet onions, smoked garlic, mushrooms, olive oil, garlic puree and dried rosemary.

Fluid – 200ml lactose free milk, 3 cups of tea, 2 glasses of water. And currently supping a can of Pepsi Max Cherry… and I don’t care!

Exercise –

I feel pleased with the exercising, I’m now up to a total of 129/150 minutes of moderate activity, 69/75 minutes of vigorous activity, 1/2 walks completed – second probably being done shortly.

So that’s my mixed bag of the day!

Good discipline in some areas, crap discipline in others. GRRRRRR! I can’t even say I’ll do better tomorrow. Daytime will be fine, evening… Depends where Paul’s taking me, I mean, if it was Pizza Hut I can get a flatbread pizza for 500ish cals, but then Paul would no longer have a partner if he truly believed Pizza Hut is the place for valentines evening! Luckily, I managed to find out where he’s booked for us, and I can’t wait to take photos for you, I’ve only been there twice, and it’s lovely 🙂

Like I say for a non-romantic, he really is sweet… Apart from when he doesn’t remind me he’s coming home later than usual!

Hopefully I’ll have a walk update for you soon…

Bye for now!
