Oh I love gravy....

Wednesday 25th January 2023
No challenge, no change.
Mmm half hour peace and quiet between one leaving the house and getting the other one up = bliss!  Mug of tea, watching the loony cats play fight and news on tv making me grateful for the life I have! 

Well I gained 2.5lb, I was pleased with that, especially as that's what I'd lost this month so it's not additional weight.  I do need to get my act together though because I'm not taking it seriously at all.  Yesterday I ate some leftover port, gravy on a jacket potato I'd frozen (won't do that again), plus some frozen veg, so dinner wasn't bad but I did sneak some butter on the spud!  Tea was Salmon and Gnocchi fill with truffle and ricotto, that was okay, I wouldn't do it again in a hurry though.  

  

Today we're having lasagne for tea, it's my sisters that I'd frozen so I'll do the lads onion rings and garlic bread with theirs and I think I'll get me a bowl of salad to go with mine.  

My 3 good things yesterday;

1) finding salmon in the freezer (didn't know I had it, bought as a whoopsie)
2) GRAVY - I could eat it every day! 
3) Managing last night without Elle who went to parents evening but knowing I don't have to do it regularly, I like having a work wife.

Today I've already got a couple of good things

1) No need to defrost car.
2) Getting chargers that work for his phone!  It was worth ordering them off Amazon, it's a daily drama "my phone ain't charged".
3) Having ready made lasagne in freezer - no need to cook!  This means I can sit on my ass later and watch tele.

I'm loving my book, it's still on the table reminding me to look for the good stuff and ignore the not so good stuff!

If only I could get into the habit of writing down my food, maybe that's the next thing I try, maybe writing it down would help rather than the app.  Use the app to get the info but put it on paper to get me to see what I'm doing, rather than pretending it's not happening!  

Poor old Coco spent the morning in the alleyway/shed again yesterday, he must have followed me out when I went to get salmon out the freezer and the silly thing got locked out until I got home, he didn't look pleased when he run back in.

We started watching Kiri last night on Netflix, its good, but I fell asleep so I need to catch up before he gets home because I didn't admit to falling asleep lol, but tbh I think he did too so let's see if he admits it or just watches the last episode with me pretending he knows what's going on :) 

I woke in the night and remembered I hadn't made his sandwiches so I got up 20 minutes before him, he never asks me to make them and said this morning he would've made his own but I don't mind, it's who I am isn't it, I'm a carer, I like to look after people, you can't change your personality, well you can but I don't want to, I like to help folk.

Mmm, what to have for breakfast, scrambled eggs maybe on a slice of seeded bread, one slice not two, trying to remember I'm not an ARK it doesn't all have to go in two by two.   There's gravy left too so maybe that's my lunch, the last bit of pork from Sunday, some frozen veg and gravy.  I can't be exact with the calories but I can guestimate, it's better that, than not track at all.

On that note, I'm going to look for a pad, here's to a good day, 

Mwah, luv ya 

Love me x
