Show up, even on your bad days!
YAY I managed 1/2lb off and I'll take that after the weekend, I had a wonderful time, do I need to do that every weekend? No, there were tweaks I could make, like I didn't need the salted peanuts, they didn't add to the weekend, yeah they tasted good but I can live without them. The cooked breakfast, I could've made a little differently and still enjoyed, I mean two slices of white bread and butter on top of what was on the plate, tut tut. The bottles of fizz and orange juice, well I'm willing to swap the orange juice for fanta zero, but not the fizz. As for the rest of the weekend, NOPE, not changing my curry, rice, chips, any of that, it was way to delicious. This weekend, I'm planning a lamb roast so I'll have no need for a cooked breakfast, I like to be really hungry when I eat a Sunday dinner so I have room for a bit of everything.
This is the lightest I've been this year, I'd already lost 3lb at home before Elle started weighing me so I've lost 17.5lb now really - yay! Let's not forget I was naked when I was weighing myself lol.
Food is something I adore as is alcohol and I don't want to live without the good stuff, I can make tweaks though, I'm happy to do that, plus I can eat healthier in the week to balance it out. Yesterday I opted for overnight oats for breakfast, only ate half of them, not keen on them with banana in. For lunch I had fish pie;
I didn't fancy cooking when I got home so had a egg and chip butty for 411 calories, I need to have my meal ready I think on a Tuesday and Thursday to stop me doing this. Microwave chips are good though :) but no veggies on the plate - not so good. I ended my day on 1200 calories which will help balance out the millions at the weekend :)
I've had a cracking nights sleep though, 8hrs 22mins, bliss, woke and looked at my watch a couple of times but soon went back to sleep, can't beat good sleep. I clocked up 11,621 steps, 38 active mins, Alfie wasn't feeling the walking love yesterday, we went for one but he wasn't moving fast enough for it to register on the Fitbit bless him.
Now Fitbits, mine doesn't do your heartrate, but I'd be interested to see if it would make a difference to what logs for my activity if it did, I'm tempted to look into treating myself. The reason I say this is because Monday I did that hour workout, it logged 40 mins and earned me 191 calories, yesterday I did a half hour workout, it clocked 30 mins and earned me 213 calories. I sweat way more on Monday doing the hour one and earned less calories, would a Fitbit that knew my heart rate show different I wonder? Oh well, at least I'm burning calories through exercise, it's better than I was doing a couple of months ago.
Lots of smiles at the huddle yesterday, loved seeing them all catch up with their buddies from the week before, I love the noise that radiates from them all having a lovely morning, enjoying each others company and sharing ideas and supporting each other. So much success in that room! Here's all our meetings in case you want to save them somewhere safe for yourself or to share with others who need our help.
I did a little crochet yesterday and my thumb is now so painful from arthritis, damn I'm falling apart! At least my knee and back are much improved from all the activity I'm doing, it's really helping I think to strengthen the muscles and my core, I'm so glad, I want to be able to get around without moaning about my aches and pains. I'm 51 not 71!
This is what encourages me to keep going!
Okay, I've got eggs boiling on the hob so I need to get gone and sort that out. Hope you have a wonderful day, I plan to, I have the huddle this morning, then I'll exercise, walk Alfie, have something delicious to eat and I'm thinking whats left of the day will be crochet and tele, bliss.
Mwah, luv ya
Love me x
