Let's make Tuesday Tremendous!

Tuesday 14th September 2021
There's always a second chance, it's called tomorrow.


Monday seems to be turning into my get stuff done day, all the washing done, bedding changed (that's a workout in itself!) and the kitchen sorted, oh and of course a couple of dog walks and an hour workout which I am really feeling in my legs this morning!


I've still done my half hour workout this morning, done and dusted out the way, one I've done before but it proved my fitness levels have gone up because it didn't kill me this time :) yeah 213 calories and 30 minutes aerobic workout clocked up on the Fitbit already, and the bit I like 7hrs 45mins sleep, nice.  Yesterday I managed to clock up 10,654 steps and 75 active minutes.  My fitbit showed both dog walks yesterday so it's changed in that way and clearly hasn't an issue with not going fast!


Foodwise, I realised this deli filler was use by Monday, the white bread didn't get taken from the building so I enjoyed a sandwich with a salad and it was amazing, I can't lie, worth 467 calories too. 

I also cooked a pork loin joint that was also use by yesterday, it had been a substitute for a piece of shoulder I'd ordered - happy days as they refunded me the difference, I ate the end piece of the joint before it even made the plate, I got rid of the crackling though, didn't need those calories in my belly thank you!  Wasn't that hungry yesterday so just had a bit of pork with stuff, peas carrots and gravy.  


I'm thinking possibly pork and stuffing sandwiches with apple sauce today, give Alfie a bit and freeze the last bit.

That was me done, I'm noticing my appetite is decreasing, I think the exercise has something to do with it, but also after mom died, I didn't rush to get back to being the person I was before dementia entered the building!  I've been listening to my appetite over the last few months and only eating when I was hungry, don't get me wrong I still indulged in niceness when I wasn't hungry.  

Also having that week where I didn't drink to prove I could and because Elle suggested it might be causing my heartburn/acid, it made me realise some days a bottle is opened for 'something to do' to pass the time, so now I'm finding other things to do that don't have a shed load of calories in!  I didn't even contemplate a glass of wine yesterday, the day went so quickly, I planned to do a little crochet but it was bedtime before I realised it, I love days like that.  

Will I lose weight today, that's the question?  I'd like to lose a pound, I'd be chuffed with that because it would take me to the lightest I've been so far this year.  If I don't well, I haven't quite got the balance right, there were a lot of bubbles consumed at the weekend, some with orange juice, I'll use fanta zero orange next time at least that's zero, there were also some salted peanuts but I fastened the packet at least! 

Life is good in my world, I want to eat healthier, I want to move my body more so it's fitter, weight loss will hopefully be the side effect of taking care of myself and enjoying life more over time, there's no rush is there.  I've shifted over a stone already, so it's coming off a little at a time, I like this speed.

Made my overnight oats so breakfast is sorted, the more I think about the pork sandwich the less I want it, only because I feel I need some fish and veggies, so I might freeze it all and the rest of that bread!  I want a few really healthy days, I didn't do meatfree Monday so I could do meat free Tuesday or Wednesday or just have a few meatfree meals over the whole of the week.

Time to get in the shower and get ready for work, looking forward to the meetings this week, Stubby Lane today, this Saturday will be 14 weeks to Christmas!  EEK!  It's also our coffee morning of course, love to see you for an hour x

Mwah, luv ya


Love me xx
