Cats woke me up this morning - Aren't they lovely!
Wednesday 27th March 2024
Finally a day honestly tracked, so one day done, now for day two, I also need to work on lowering the intake! At least I ate good food! Scrambled eggs on toast which are always lush then for dinner we had pasta bake. I'd frozen some salami/pepperoni/ham slices because we weren't going to eat them so I took them out the freezer and chopped them up,
I made a pasta sauce using a can of tomato paste that was Best Before December 2023, it was fine and will be for a few years, I made it using the paste, added some water, frozen garlic and dried herbs, I've frozen the other tubs for the next time we have pasta bake. Added pasta, tin sweetcorn and topped with 100g cheddar. Delicious and easy!

Ready for the day! Are you?

Very lazy weekend
Monday 25th March 2024
Well I've done nothing all weekend! After the huddle on Saturday, I came home, put my pjs on and lay on the sofa watching tele because I was full of cold. I decided resting would help me shift it quicker, plus I had nothing that had to be done and nowhere I needed to be.
I've watched lots of tele, we enjoyed the remake of Roadhouse on Prime, and I've loved Girls 5 Eva on Netflix, really naff but properly made me laugh. I've done a jigsaw and not ate great, to be fair all I had Saturday was jam on toast, a ready sandwich and a pot noodle because I didn't have the energy to do anything else. Yesterday, I had 4 sausages out of the freezer with 2 eggs and a slice of bread then 1 piece of chicken with some couscous and 1/4 of a tube of Pringles which Aryn went to get me because I really fancied them.
I'm on the mend thankfully so my plan worked, it probably didn't help my weight loss journey much but hey, there's always tomorrow. I didn't do my physio either, I just didn't have the energy or strength. I have got away without catching anything for the last 6 months though, so I'll take this bit of lurgy, hopefully I'll be fully recovered for Easter weekend.
I've got a physio appointment this morning at 8am so I need to wash - yeah I've not washed all weekend and I won't lie - I smell! I have a blocked nose so I didn't care and the only thing that came close to me was the cats and they don't seem to care. I'm actually looking forward to being clean - life goals, you can't beat them :)
All my bread pudding went to the huddle Saturday and was eaten thankfully or I'd have probably lived on that!
I'm not gonna lie, we're having donor kebab for dinner today, Aryn wanted one last Thursday and they had none so I've promised him one today, chippy was closed or we'd have had it yesterday, so other than that, I'll be healthy today, promise, work at getting my healthy back. Although the fridge is almost empty, I have a bit of spinach though so I could make an omelette with that. I've got frozen veggies too.
It's whether I can be bothered again, I reckon having a wash and getting dressed in clean clothes will perk me up and I'll feel ready to get stuff done. It's too easy to stay poorly ain't it!
Right, let's get this day started, I do have a huddle chat to plan so I need to get my thinking cap on.
Have a great day,
Mwah, luv ya
Love me.

I'm looking forward to my Friday.
Friday 22nd March 2024
The bread pudding went down well yesterday and I was asked for the recipe that I use. There is a good one on the bbc website Bread pudding recipe | Good Food (bbcgoodfood.com), but this is the recipe I used.
In a large bowl tear up 400g of white bread (I used the crusts as well but you can remove them if you like) and add 600ml milk and allow to soak for 10 mins. Using your hands or a wooden spoon, mash it all up to combine. Stir in 450g dried fruit (I used raisins and sultanas) and 100g sugar. Then add 50g Self Raising flour and one & a half tbsp of mixed spice. Finally add 2 beaten eggs and 100ml of melted butter. Pour into a rectangular or square baking tin approx 20cm x 25 cm and bake for one and a half hours at 150 deg C. Turn up the heat to 180 and cook for another 10 mins or so until pudding browns. Excellent warm with custard or eaten cold.
I did however put a pound on at the scales, I don't usually eat breakfast and I'd had at least two pieces - oops, but if I'm honest, I've not been able to fill myself up this week, I've just wanted to eat. Even Aryn said last night though, that he's fed up of eating rubbish, he can feel the effect it's having on his body. That is reason enough for us to get our healthy back, starting today! I have salmon in the fridge which we'll have for dinner, I'm thinking with rice or couscous, something simple. I might actually make it early and we'll have a cold salmon salad when we get in from the gym, that sounds nice and light yeah.
It's Friday, I don't have to be anywhere but the gym later, I've just started my physio but had to stop as my lower backs hurting this morning so I'll do it tomorrow instead, I'll still have done 5 times this week which is what I'm supposed to do.
Part of me wants to do nothing all day, part of me wants to do a clean up job on the house, which part will win we shall see! He's working away this weekend so I could do it over the weekend, I'll play it by ear, see how I feel.
Its took me ages to type this because Coco keeps insisting on a bit of love, so I can't get to the keyboard for him!
Let's leave it there then and I'll give him the fuss he wants!
Have a great day, YAY it's Friday!
Mwah, luv ya
