I will keep tracking and doing my best!

Thursday 13th July 2023

Another day of tracking ahead, I forget the total :) my memory sucks!

Another day 100% tracked honestly, I did go over my total by 206 calories because I had wine!  My plan is to not drink in the week but I'd painted all the fence panels down the left of our garden (8 of them!) when I got back from work on the morning, and I was in agony.  I struggled to make dinner taking painkillers then decided I was gonna have some wine, a) because I really like it, b) to numb the pain a little c) to help me sleep on this bloody sofa and it worked!  Although I didn't get to go to sleep till after ten because bless him Aryn sat chatting with me for a couple of hours, I do love it when he's in a chatty mood, he such a funny lad and hearing his stories from school are entertaining. 

Food wise I was healthy at least, I really enjoyed this breakfast, the breads wholemeal and from a 400g loaf so that helps keep the calories down and I was full afterwards.

lunch was 25g porridge, 100g low fat Greek yogurt, 100g raspberries and a banana all smashed up together in a bowl, you don't need a photo of that :) but it tastes really good and I'm eating it because apparently it's a great combination for lowering cholesterol and having other benefits.  I'm really trying to add foods in that will help my health not just taste good, I really want to be healthy and help my pain issues. 

Dinner was this plate of wonderfulness, yep mango with chicken in a mild curry works.  It was mild because i didn't add so much of the green chilli, I'm a light weight with chilli and I have control in the kitchen.  

  

Here's the link for the offer and thanks to those who have used it to trial Gousto as it's given me free food which of course helps me financially.  65% off first box, then 25% for 2 months

I snacked on a couple of crackers with a cheese triangle and that was my day in food.  Movement wise, I did 6240 steps with 49 active minutes, Fitbit says I burned 2,462 calories and Nutracheck says I ate1,740 so at least I did good there.  

I'm craving a sausage sandwich this morning, I've wanted on for days now, just looked and a Greggs sausage breakfast roll is 388, but it's the baguette I usually would have and that's 558, that's a lot isn't it.  I need a cafe that does a sandwich, or I need sausages to make my own, I don't think I have any in the freezer unfortunately.  Ah well, eggs again maybe!  

I've got one Gousto meal left to cook, so we'll have that today, 676 calories for spiced beef kofta wraps with harissa yoghurt.  They look tasty but if I'm honest I don't fancy beef again, I might make them for Aryn and freezer the rest and have some fish myself, ooo I could have fish in wraps, mmm yes possibly.

I've just realised whilst chatting to himself that I haven't had a mug of coffee for over a week, I've been drinking 2 mugs of tea in the morning then water.  I might go make me a mug, get some caffeine in my body. 

On that note, here's to a great day, a wine free day for me and hopefully a busy day in the huddles.

Mwah, luv ya

Love me x
