16th July – I should have realised the new bbq would be used ASAP!

Hello!  Hope you are all well.

A whole week fag free! I’ll write a quick post separately for anyone interested.

Today has been another enjoyable day with our neice, school work all completed without issue, and no real problem with food. 

We didn’t go out today as we (Paul) were like a children with a new toy, so we invited Amy and Katie down to join us for our first evening bbq on the new piece of kit!

Sofia was particularly happy about this as Amy acts daft around her and makes her laugh constantly.  Amy will also play games with Sofia, however Amy can’t let even kids when, so poor Sofia lost a few games!

Although today has felt non stop, we really haven’t done much! Mind you, thinking about it, I did exercises mid morning, then showered, sat with a cuppa, prepared lunch, had lunch, sat with Fia for her English lesson. But no, after that I sat for a while and pottered about, so I haven’t been non stop 😆. I’ll just got on with the stats.

Sleep – it was a bitty night, but I did get plenty of sleep, about 8.5hrs in total, and not many loo stops. I felt a lot better for this sleep.

Fluid – 200ml, 4 glasses of water, 2 alcohols with Pepsi max, 3 teas. Ill have another half glass of water before bed.

Food – 40g natural nuts and 75g dried fruits for breakfast.

Greek salad, hummus, couscous, kabanos (polish sausage) and a slice of Paul’s bread for lunch.

For dinner I had more greek salad, potato salad (made plainly with parsley, garlic puree and light mayo), 2 sausages, 1 roll, 1 chicken thigh and some pork. Oh… and some bbq sauce and garlicky sauce.

We were all loving the bbq food, and already can’t wait for our next!

Exercise – yup! Today was stretchy programme followed by cardio programme!

So the challenge board is looking a bit tame, having said that I might need yo keep dairy on next week, pleased that water intake is good though.

There we are, my day. Bye for now 🤗

      1. I’m not sure Paul’s family would really know and difference, Paul is the only one who appreciates good food from his family. We did overcook the pork, but it’s our first time using a smoker, i think a proper bit if meat rather than a loin will be better!

      2. Marks parents saw us start it off with actual fire…they thought we’d have a huge gas one like marks brother but we have a kettle type one, the lid really helps get things cooked.
        Pork is easy to over cook anyway, I think we did the same with our pork steaks tbh
