FriYAY

Friday 20th August 2021 
Strive for progress not perfection.

 

Another great day yesterday, loved the huddles at Bloxwich, a few new member and a lot of laughter.  Food wise, I did alright too, I enjoyed the toastie thing again that I'd made the day before, for dinner I had liver and onions, mash and beans, then when I got home I had the leftover mash, beans and onion gravy with a couple of slices of pork that I'd defrosted.  The liver and onion dinner was 500 calories but I didn't work out the calories in my tea, I'm not gonna lie.  I'm celebrating what I do not what I don't!  

I've done another 30 minutes workout this morning, another body project one, I like how encouraging he is, I don't work well being shouted at, I need a yeah you can do this motivator and these are those type of videos.  I also like his positivity and how he talks about our bodies and how we should love them, it aligns with my beliefs. 

If I can continue to do 30 minutes a day, I'll be really pleased, wish my knee wasn't shot but I can only do what I can do and hope the knee doesn't get any worse. 

Is it sad that I'm excited to go do a big shop today!  My fridge is bare, I want some salad, hell I want some fruit, because of Elle I want brie and bacon, because of Rebekah I want caramelised onion chutney, my to eat list is getting longer by the day!  I also want healthy stuff, eggs, tuna, weetabix, it's a balanced shopping list :) 

My Fitbit is proud of me this week, it just told me I've done 5 of 5 days active, the 30 minutes in a morning is upping my daily step count nicely, I've already done 3300 and burning about 200 calories.  Yesterday I ended on 14,100, burned 2576 calories and was active for 94 minutes - go me! The dog took me for 3 walks, 2 short ones and one longer but they all help the step count.   My thought pattern is if I can't do so well with my eating, I can at least try and burn more calories, that won't stop me trying to improve the eating situation too. 

Right, let's get this day started, although Alfie isn't looking very willing!  Yay, it's Friday, a whole day ahead of doing what I want, I'm thinking shopping, cooking a nice dinner, doing a bit of crochet, finding a new book to read as I finished mine yesterday, a bit of tele and an early night cos I had a late one for me last night.  Whatever you have planned, enjoy x

Mwah, luv ya

Love me x
