13th March – what a great day! The long walk completed in better time!

Hiya all, as I write this I’m nursing a blister and aching legs, hips and heels, and I feel pleased with myself 😇

We both had today off, I didn’t have a lie in though as I needed to do the third urine sample and get it to the surgery.

When I got back Paul was also getting up. I do enjoy having breakfast and a cuppa with Paul, not something we can do during the week.

We had a lovely lunch date with mum and Chelle, going to a pub Paul goes to every Friday for lunch, and has taken me to on occasion. Neither mum nor Chelle had been there, and both enjoyed it.

Afterwards Paul and I went on a good walk. It’s the same walk we did on February 22nd, and we shaved a good ten minutes of our previous time! So pleased! And what’s more… we did Kms 3, 4 and 5 under 11 minutes… that’s the fastest times I’ve ever recorded!

I think there are two reasons for the time improvement, firstly I think with all the walking I’ve been doing, my body is fitter than before. Secondly, in February we had periods of very strong wind, fine when it’s on your back, which was very welcome on the last couple of kilometers, not so welcome when it’s pushing you backwards, as it was for the first few kilometres!

Tomorrow will not be so good for food, Paul… well actually we both love kebab. On valentine’s day I promised Paul a guilt free kebab after a month. I was hoping to have lost a bit more weight by now, but a promise is a promise. So we will order it, eat plenty, and enjoy it!

Right… time for the actual info!

Fluid – two cups of tea, 1 diet Pepsi, 2 pepsi max cans. That’s it, no wonder my mouths so dry. As soon as I’ve written up this post I’ll get a glass of water and a glass of milk.

Food – 2 slices of buttered toast for breakfast.

Wood pigeon and a walldorf salad for lunch, plus both mum and Chelle’s salad, and 1 nicked chip! I’ve taken 2 pics, one of how it turned up because it was such a pretty dish, second with the rogue chip and mums salad.

Tonight we had lightly dusted basa with oven cooked chips and mushrooms gently cooked in spread, garlic puree and dried sage.

We’ll also have 60g dried fruits for a snack later.

Exercise – I’ve got my info and Paul’s, reason for this is my tracker does record my time, but for some reason it doesn’t record all the details, or show details correctly (Paul thinks it’s to do with dropping signal)

So happy with the exercise, this brings my weekly tally to 133 minutes of vigorous activity and 186 minutes of moderate activity.

I am also happy with my food. I know breakfast wasn’t great, I would normally have some healthy beans with it, but it’s wonderful going out to eat and happily picking and enjoying healthier stuff.

I reckon I’ve lost at least 1lb this week, I’m looking forward to weigh in tomorrow 🙂

So, that’s my day, speak soon.
