15th Feb – oooops!

Hey all,

So this weekend we have our nephew, Kian.

Paul picked him up after our walk and weigh in, giving me a couple of hours to spend with Angela and Luke.

Speaking of Luke… he’s shown me a recipe he likes the look of, and I’m so impressed! Poached then oven baked salmon with tonnes of veggies! There’s a huge list of ingredients, and yet he still wants to try it! So I’ve told him that when he and his mum come to stop at ours in a couple of weeks, he can make it, and I’ll assist him!

He’s a sweety, at that age where he likes to lose himself in the internet world, not really into “doing” things like arts and crafts or cooking.

Now, on to Kian – So he has been happy to play on his switch and his remote control toy, but also chatting with us.

And we treated him to pizza hut last night. We watched one and a half films, and had conversations about space, how big it is and whether there might be aliens, and about scary things.

He didn’t feel like going to bed at about 10.30pm when we suggested it, yet 15 minutes later he realised on his own that he needed bed… thankfully! Because we were definitely ready for bed!

He is awake now, but not yet emerged from the bedroom 😄. I have no doubt there will be the normal bathroom fight, you know the one, the fight where he believes a wash is running the tap and not letting a drop touch his face, and my belief which involves face, neck, ears, soap, water and flannel! Wish me luck!

Now, onto the facts and confessions for yesterday.

Food – sausage roll for breakfast. We had healthier sausages but didn’t realise they were out of date, so we had frozen veggie hotdog sausages in rolls bought on Monday, I very underwhelming breakfast!

Dinner – pizza. 2 big pizzas between 5 of us (amy and Katie joined us) I had three slices. Oops! There was also a couple of chicken wings, a slice of garlic bread and cheese triangles. Not good. I did however have Pepsi max, a small positive but a positive nonetheless.

Fluid – about 4 teas, two of which round my friends, and a fair few glasses of Pepsi max.

Exercise – yes, up the hill then a small walk.

The 6ish minute workout is the time from bottom to top of hill. Slower than last week, but wetter and windier!

Moderate activity was 16 minutes, vigorous activity was 12 minutes.

So that’s yesterday, I’ll update again tonight 🙂
