Not everyday is easy - but you get through.
Anyway, that's my whinge done, oh no it isn't the bin men broke the lid off my bin when emptying it yesterday! I have been online and asked for a new one - let's see if I get one shall we.
On to much more positive things, we had a lovely huddle yesterday and when done I decided I would go swimming, I'd gone home to get my costume and nipped upstairs to do a spot check on Aryns room, despite asking him to put his rubbish in bins there was stuff all over the place, so I did it myself! I told him, I'd start doing it myself if he didn't do it and I felt so much better for doing it, I don't want litter strewn everywhere.
I did an hour in the pool, half swimming / half walking and I felt good when I came out, came home and finished working on the journal, just need it proof reading by Carol now. Aryn got home just after 3 and said, 'let's go to the gym' YAY, lol. I managed to do a mile walking on the treadmill before the pain kicked in so bad I had to get off and sit down, it was still a mile, just shy of 20 minutes and I haven't done almost 10k steps in a very long time. I did pay for it the rest of the day, sleeping was a bit uncomfortable too, but use it or lose it, I've got to keep trying.
For dinner I made this, it was delicious and absolutely full of fibre, about 18g, very tasty, I could make it without the Hello Fresh but there North Indian Spice mix wouldn't be easy to get, could use curry powder I'm sure.
the sachets, there was about a teaspoon or 2 of nigella seeds and 1tsp per sachet of the spice mix. It was really tasty, ready cooked lentils, reminding me I do like lentils, as long as they are flavoured well, they are delicious and Indian cuisine knows how to flavour them.

I'm gonna try Gusto next I think, I've been given a discount link, just need to sit and look at it.
I was in bed by 8, watched a bit of tele, chatted on the phone to himself, then fell blissfully asleep waking up every few hours, first time because on of the cats was scratching my bedroom door - grr. Woke up about midnight for the loo, wasn't impressed with the view out my window, then just woke up to move my joints around the rest of the night. I have managed 8 hours sleep though.
Other than my dinner, I had a chicken and beetroot salad, will the last bit of chicken be okay, I cooked it Monday? I then had a carton of mushroom soup for lunch, plus a packet of Worcestershire sauce French Fries that Elle bought me, 80 calories of niceness. Later I fancied a bag of salt and vinegar crisps with a slice of bread and spread, nom nom, that did take me over my daily allowance by 200 because I'd already had some wine, but I did earn 681 calories apparently being active, check me out. MY fitbit says I used 2558 calories and my Nutracheck app says I ate1761 calories so still a deficit.
I know it sounds like I'm being a bit full on, but it takes seconds to track stuff and the fitbit does it all for you, I just look at it to blog the next day, I'm actually probably spending less time thinking about food than I was before I got on track because it's not the only thing I'm thinking about.
Here's hoping we have a happy huddle day and all our members make it to us, not sure what's on our menu yet, I have an HelloFresh sausage meal but I thought about saving that till tomorrow when we're all here, I've got some pork chops in fridge but again they'll keep till the weekend, I could have leftovers from last nights, I'm not sure, will see what Aryn fancies as he ended up eating a meal deal last night because there were too many onions in the dinner, he didn't like it.
Let's enjoy the day,
Mwah, luv ya
Love me
