Your body deserves unconditional love.
Had a nice lie in this morning, well half six, it's a lie in for me, I couldn't sleep when I first went to bed, brain was a little busy which is unusual for me and body obviously wasn't tired enough.
I had another lovely day, I was really pleased with myself when I finished this 45 minute workout, I could've have done that when I started exercising a few weeks ago.
I then went out the front garden and finished weeding the one patch which took about another hour, can feel it in the back of my leg a little so will do some yoga this morning rather than a full on workout and try and stretch it out. My knees knackered too, all hail the gel stuff you get for pain relief cos that stuffs helping for sure.
Foodwise, well I didn't eat until noon and I had a mega full English, with a small tin of baked beans, 2 small slices bread, 2 eggs, tomatoes, black pudding, 2 small sausage and a slice of bacon (Alfie ate the rest of the bacon and the other 2 sausages - good job I planned for that isn't it. I didn't work the calories out, why not? Ignorance is bliss maybe! Let's worth it out now. Yeah just as I thought 774 calories, but it was breakfast / lunch also known as brunch which then isn't so bad, oh it was amazing too, I ate it with real hunger, I never eat baked beans like that, it also had 18.3g fibre in it!
I then had goat curry and cauliflower rice for dinner, the curry had bene in the freezer a long time, no idea how many calories but goat meat would only be 218 calories max for a large 200g portion, oil in it would be max 50 calories and the herbs and spices aren't too high. The cauliflower rice is about 50, I did put parmesan cheese on the top but I didn't get to eat any of it because of a little shit tzu named Alfie!
Half a bottle of red was also enjoyed, it was Sunday after all :) and today is a bank holiday, which in this house won't be any different to any other Monday. I do hope there's a lot of sunshine all over the country though so that people can have a great time and business can get some of the cash back that they've lost over the last few years. Ooo I've fancied a chicken tikka masala since I saw a photo of Elle's when she went out last week, maybe that could be my bank holiday treat, or maybe not, I'll see how I feel later, I'm in no rush for it.
I've binged watched This is Us over the last week, I'm on the last episode of season 4! That's some serious tv watching I know, but it's still a novelty to be able to choose the tv programme and watch it without interruption. At least I'm not snacking at the same time, can't eat what ain't there can I, it really does help not having it in the house, although I did resist the other bag of almonds yesterday, so a little proud of myself for that. Oh just remembered I had a small chunk of cheese out of the fridge, which was tasty.
Oh Alfie took me for two walks yesterday too, helping me to clock up over 15k steps, 139 active minutes and burn 2546 calories. I'm just aiming to burn a few extra calories to help me get my body back to a healthier weight, slow and steady. Taking care of my body ain't I, trying too anyways!
I'm smiling because Monday's are usually draw a line day for so many, but it's bank holiday so it's more likely to be Tuesday this week :) it's okay to indulge and enjoy food, make memories and have fun, it's all about balance, enjoy your day whatever you have planned.
Mwah, luv ya
Love me xx
