Cos a poorly bloke is all I need!

Wednesday 20th December 2023

I'm sat enjoying a bit of love with Coco as I won't see him for a couple of weeks now!   He'll be looked after by my sister and at least they get to stay in their own home and have the run of the house.  I found Minnie in his wardrobe last night lying on his trousers, Coco had been in mine the night before and I'd closed the door not realising, took us a moment to work out where the noise was coming from.

Health wise, I ate more veggies yesterday and was more aware of saturated fats, the Nutracheck app is great for that, it not only tells you how many calories but you can have it also show fibre, fat, sat fat, sugar protein, salt, carbs.  You can choose up to 4 to be on show at all times, I also like that it shows you where it is on the green, amber or red scale, a great guideline.  

I went back to wholemeal bread instead of the white I've been getting for Aryn, and I reverted to low fat spread rather than butter, that's made an immediate healthy change.  I can't believe how over the last few months, I've let these things slide, partly because it's convenient, cheaper to only buy one thing not too but also let's not lie, because it tastes damn good!

I got lazy, so I'm going to use this Christmas to get my lazy lost, I'll have spare time on my hands so I can plan some tasty menus for January to help me lose a few pounds and get us all a little healthier.  

I did manage to lose 1/2lb yesterday on the scales, which is great for December, it's not gone up any higher, I'll take that.

You couldn't make it up though, I have a very, poorly man on my hands, he's full of lurgy, had a terrible night, bit of a temperature and he's got to drive the motorhome to Ireland, terrible timing for sure!  I'd say he had man flu but to be fair he doesn't make a big thing of it when he's poorly which is why I know he really is - deep sigh!

On a positive, I feel truly blessed to have a work wife who's okay with me going away every Christmas and leaving her holding the fort, I'm really grateful and even though Aryn doesn't realise it, he is too because it makes visiting his mom easier. 

We're off for a real adventure aren't we, fitting double glazing at Christmas!  Decorating the living room once the windows have been fitted, all the time, I'll be wanting it done so I can put my tree up lol. 

He's just got up, so I'll go make him a cuppa,

Have a great day, here's hoping the crossings not too bad!  EEK!

Mwah, luv ya

Love me xx
