Do your best!
Another great huddle yesterday morning, 50lb lost and lots of smiles and laughter, can't ask for more! The rest of my day was perfect for a rainy day, Alfie had his little walk before we went to work so we missed the rain, I had about 6000 steps on my fitbit when we got back but I was hungry as hadn't eaten that morning just had an actimel drink so I'd stopped at the garage to get my black olives I'd forgotten the day before and they had the bread I'd forgotten to get to make my bacon and brie the day before when I had it on crumpets - you guessed it, I bought a 200g tiger bread baguette and made that for my brunch. 
Then I enjoyed these Quaver that Sarah gave me, they were lovely but I won't be buying any because I can't eat what isn't there, it's how I control what's going in.
Well what can I say, the tiger bread alone was 560 calories, 80g brie is 291 and there was 232 calories in 4 slices of the streaky bacon! OUCH and if I'm honest I preferred it on crumpets because you could taste the brie and bacon better. Eating more mindfully is making me realise some things just are all that and definitely not worth the calories.
I then watched a couple of hours of 'This is Us', I think I'd seen a few episodes before but I stuck with it and am enjoying it, aren't people messed up! I'm thankful for my terrible memory because I can't remember most of the crap that's happened in my life and I tend not to dwell on the bad stuff that did.
Elle said something to me in the week when I said I was getting up half hour earlier to do my exercise, she reminded me that I don't have to get everything done first thing anymore, I have all day because I don't have all those other commitments I had before. I took that on board yesterday, once I'd let my brunch digest, I did half hour walking workout whilst watching my tele, then later one I did another ten minutes to get me up to 10,000 steps, I clocked up 54 active minutes and the walking on the spot showed up as aerobic workout on the fit bit.
I defrosted some chicken drumsticks and made a marinade out of ketchup, honey, soy sauce and garlic, the roasted and enjoyed them with a salad for my tea, Alfie helped me by eating the knuckles ;)

No wine and an early night, I've enjoyed just shy of 10 hours sleep! I woke a few times, middle of the night and half five my regular time but I thought no, I'm gonna go lie back down and I snoozed, lovely slow Sunday morning. I'll finish this blog just in time for the zoom at 9.
I've still had time to do 45 minute workout, this one was really good, easier than the other because it was more controlled and not so fast, it's still showed as a 31 minute workout burning 153 calories, I'll take that for a Sunday morning, it didn't bother my back at all and only slightly niggled my knee, depending on how far Alfie walks, I might throw another walk watching tele later, that's quite easy to do really.
I'm making changes slowly, not just focusing on the scales, I'm looking to create a healthier lifestyle, I want to take care of my body and become my best self again!
I've even planned my meals today, not worked out the calories but I'm only having two meals so it'll be okay, for breakfast I'm having crumpet, avocado and egg with tomatoes, spinach and mushrooms. Might have 2 crumpets/eggs, we'll see. Then I'm thinking a roast dinner, I have a brisket in gravy thing in the freezer just enough for me and Alfie, if I buy it like that rather than a joint at least it's portioned controlled because Alfie and I can see of a huge joint of beef! I've got potatoes, cauli and carrots, frozen peas, mmm nice.
Ooo just looked at the weather, it was forecast rain yesterday but it's saying cloud and sun now so might get Alfie outside, be nice to have some sunshine to sit in the garden later that's for sure!
Shall we all do our best, it was 18 weeks to Christmas yesterday, none of us know what tomorrow will bring, so let's live for today, be proud of ourselves for doing our best and wanting to improve our health. What one thing can you do today to help you get a little closer to a healthier version of you?
Mwah, luv ya
Love me xx
