6th March – not too shoddy so far

Hello!

It’s Friday… WOOHOO!

We’ll have either 2 or 3 kids over the weekend, I’m looking forward to it 😊

I should have gotten up early to do some exercising this morning, but folks, I have to tell you, I did not, and I feel not one jot of guilt over it! No, instead I’m delighted with the amount of sleep I had… nearly 8.5 hours!

I have felt so unknackered today, it’s great!

Other good news, my boss collared the boss above us who forgets we exist… I’m glad to report our jobs are safe! My heart goes out to those who are having to go through this. Liz and I were saying how guilty we feel being thankful when others have they lives crashing around them.

Went to lunch with mum and sister, always lovely catching up.

And I finally got a chance to read some your posts! Not on the work network or laptop, which is much easier. I might ask for a tablet for birthday and xmas 😊

Paul’s currently supping a beer, I’m sipping a water… now I can’t feel to smug, this is my first water of the day, but I’ll have at least another glass before bed.

So, here’s my day…

Sleep – courtesy of Paul falling asleep on the sofa, after I wrote my post last night, I suggested we went to bed. So I was in bed by 9.15pm! I had no trouble dropping, shockingly, and felt great when I got up this morning!

Fluid – 200ml of milk, 3 cups of tea, 1 glass of diet coke, 1 glass of water… so far.

Food – 40g natural nuts, 60g dried fruit, 2 cheese portions… don’t ask!

Lunch – so this is what my mum and sister had…

I nicked a chip of mum’s plate, and boy did I have a hankering for battered cod and chips!

However, I had a small salad bowl, I did have one of the little rolls as well, but it was brown. And instead of butter I had a sunflower spread portion. I forgot the pic.

Then my usual chicken salad.

Tonight we had lightly dusted lemon sole and oven cooked chips, didn’t quite hit the spot, but was tasty. Especially with a dollop of salad cream!

I’m going to give up on salad cream though, I looked at the calories and was shocked!

Exercise – none yet, but Paul and I will be going out for a walk very soon! I’ll pop a quickie on when done!

So weigh in is tomorrow, I’ll be honest, I feel bloated again, suspect the antibiotics, I’m not confident I’ll finally get passed this barrier, in fact I’m just hoping I don’t put weight on.

And I need to prepare myself, I don’t want to feel as crappy about it as I did last weekend, I know if I’m not careful I’ll think “what’s the point of all this diet and exercise…” blah blah blah. I just need to remember, healthy food + activity = healthier insides and minimising health problems in later life.

So, until my quickie… tada!
