24th Feb – sneaky pancakes! Sneaky choc!

Evening all, hope you are well and that Monday hasn’t been to traumatic a day 😁

I think I heard Paul’s alarm go off at 6 this morning, but I certainly didn’t get up.

This evening was girls night with my mum and sister. It was lovely catching up 🙂 my sister’s husband (such a sweety 💖) has bought a weekend in Venice for my sister’s upcoming birthday, so we’re crossing fingers and toes this virus won’t put a stop to their break.

Anyway, on to the day!

Sleep – I felt as though I had a good night’s sleep last night! Only 1 loo stop!

Food – 40g natural nuts, 60g dried fruit, 1 cheese portion, prawn salad for lunch. And 1 little chocolate… you know those chocs I resisted last week, not so good today, 1 found it’s way into my mouth!

Mum cooked a gammon joint, sprouts and boiled spuds, not as much as usual, although more than enough, because she had a treat in store! I did take a pic, but it’s disappeared.

PANCAKES!

Now, people, there is only one way to eat pancakes!

Lemon juice and sugar!

And no one will ever convince me there is a better way!

So, we had two rolled pancakes each with lemon juice and (for me) 1.5 teaspoons of sugar… on each!

YUM!

Thankfully I managed to squeeze ‘a bit’ of exercise in! More on that in a mo.

Fluid – 200ml milk, 4 cups of tea, 2 cans Pepsi max.

Exercise – so, I came home to finish my working day, and as going round to mum’s, I knew I would get a little walk in. But then I thought, actually it doesn’t need to be a small walk, no, I could aim to be at mum’s at 7ish, so I could actually get a 45 minute minimum walk in! Didn’t even have to think about it, just realised I had the time, and why not!

So I walked hard, even going uphill just presented me with the challenge to keep the pace up!

I even took the ‘wrong’ turn Paul and I ended up taking last week, just to keep the walk going,

And, further more, I crossed the road at the zebra crossing, just so further down the road I would have to walk back over the road by going over the bridge!

So pleased with my exercise mindset today!

I do have a question which I’m hoping someone can answer. When you see the following pic you’ll see my tracker (and I believe it) shows me working at maximum heart rate. Does anyone know if this is dangerous?

So if anyone does know the answer, please do comment.

In the meantime, I’m counting this as one of my two 45 minute walks, with 50 minutes of vigorous activity and 7 minutes of moderate activity.

So there we have it, my rather pleasing day!

Night 😊
