We can do this!

Friday 7th June 2024

Well it caught me up and bit me on the bum!  I've maintained the last few weeks but this week I gained 2lb and it was very, much deserved as I haven't been tracking and the calories have been a little crazy so yesterday I drew that line and started afresh.  In the words of Nutracheck, maintain your diary stick to the target, results will come.  So that was the plan!  

My mission was just to make it through the day with everything tracked and I managed that, I was hungry all day, well let's just say I wanted to eat all day and thankfully I managed to not go crazy.  I went to bed in the end, to stop me going back in the kitchen.

I'd skipped breakfast, unintentionally, so stopped for a meal deal in Sainsbury's, I can't buy the smoked salmon that's in their sandwich for much less than the whole meal, I love that carrot and houmous dip too, it's more lemony that normal houmous.  I'd not have that drink again though, it was an odd taste but I wanted some green in me!  I've been lacking on veggies lately so need to refocus on that.  

 

    

I had a sandwich later too because I had chicken to eat and if I'm totally honest couldn't be bothered to cook but that's changing today, I'm going to be in the kitchen later being a domestic goddess - well that's the plan anyways. 

Ended my day on 1760, had 17 calories spare lol, my fitbit says I burned 2056 so there's a little deficit for starters, here's hoping today is as good.  I had 8h 25m sleep last night, so I'm fully refreshed, a busy day today getting stuff done.  Nothing exciting, just housework, washing and cooking. 

I've just tried to recreate the carrot and houmous and it's alright but it's not as nice, I even added some extra lemon juice to mine, just not the same.

At least I've already had one of my five a day this morning, that's a good start.

I just realised I should've done my physio first but give it an hour and I'll do it when this has settled.

I'm going to make mac and cheese today in my new Ninja, it's 705 calories in 1/6th of the recipe, but if I have it with some chicken maybe or fish, it'll be a good meal, or I might have mine on it's own depending on how big the portion looks.  

I've got to do a bit of UW work too, don't forget if you want to know more, give me a shout, I've just fixed my energy for the next 12 months, I don't want to worry about the two rises they've forecast in October and January, it's one less bill to worry about!  I love having all my bills in one place, knowing that's the majority of what I need to think about, I mean this is my May bill, 4 mobile sims, gas, electric, fibre broadband and house insurance, then I get cashback from using my cashback card as my debit card and that saves me more money every month, this month wasn't much as I've been skint and not spending lol. 

£250 for all those bills, I'll take that!  

Anyway, I'm waffling, I need to get on with my day, think about my diet and getting back on track, wash my sofa covers whilst there's no one else in the house, ah bliss, quiet day with them all out, just me and the cats.

However you're spending your day, have a good one.  

Mwah, luv ya 

Love me xx
