We can do this!

Let's be a mid week wonder!

I maintained yesterday, I'll take that, but I'll be working harder for a weight loss this week.  I went swimming again, another 50 lengths, so that 100 already this week, not expecting to do so many this morning, I was up earlier yesterday and had more time.  My sciatica is driving me bonkers, I can't stand for long and walking isn't much easier, thankfully sitting and lying, usually I can get comfortable.  It's so frustrating, I'm going to look for some exercises or do a little yoga when I get a minute, I was too busy yesterday, but hopefully this afternoon I'll have time, it's also timing it right because when I did have time yesterday, I'd just eaten so couldn't exercise and I couldn't wait for food cos I was really hungry, I'd had no breakfast and it was 1ish.

Foodwise, I had a tin of Mulligatawny soup with some bread and butter for my lunch, that gave me indigestion, my body just isn't a fan of butter and to be fair the soup usually triggers me too which is why I haven't had any for a very long time, I won't replace it but at least I'm using stuff that's been in the cupboard for ages.l

Tea time I'd already fed Aryn, he'd had a lovely tea of chicken, rice and beans but I wasn't hungry then so when I got home at 7ish, I decided to use up a couple of burgers that have been in the freezer a very, very long time, I'm sure they arrived before the two men in my house lol.  I had a burger sandwich, cheese slices and ketchup , it was delicious and a lot of calories but thankfully I had them to spare and that's something else gone from my freezer, used up.

Midweek already, where has that gone!  Elle was doing the maths of weight loss yesterday for our members, can you believe they lost a staggering 842.5lb in August which is a quiet month because of holidays and the kids being off, that's just amazing!  Year to date the weight loss is 6720lb year to date so that’s 480 stone, incredible.

We mention 'to do' lists in our meeting chat this week, which got me thinking about mine and on it is sorting my spare room and my wardrobe, I keep saying I'll get it done and hopefully I'll get round to it soon, maybe once I've took Aryn for his appointment today and dropped him off at school, I can have an hour and make a start, maybe that's the way, doing a little bit at a time rather than trying to get it all done in a day.  A bit like our weight loss journey ay!

Not thought about food today, I did offer to take Aryn out for his dinner as a treat as we haven't done anything for a while and Wednesday are difficult for him, but he said he might opt for Pizza Supremo takeaway which will save me having to have any, which means I can work my way through the freezer a little more, maybe use some of the veggie stuff, although there are corn on the cobs in the fridge that it might be too late to save but if it isn't I could have them.  

Right let's get ready to go swimming, nice easy swim this morning I think, I might try to improve my breast stroke because I only do front crawl at the minute and my shoulders aren't impressed with me this morning.

Here's to a great day, we got this, we really have.

Mwah, luv ya 

Love me x
