Wellness Wednesday - you in?

Wednesday 22nd November 2023

Another day done!  I stayed within my calories too and I managed an 1/2lb weight loss on the scales, so relief there.  I started my day with this breakfast, I only put butter on one slice of toast so I could enjoy that taste and the egg and tomatoes went with the other slice.  It was soooooo good and I was thrilled that I didn't get heartburn from it for a change. 

After a great morning in our huddles, I dragged myself to the gym again for another hour on that recumbent bike and I did 21km this time so not just increasing on time but distance too.  Oh it don't harm hurt your bum though, numb bum syndrome is a thing! :) 

I was ravenous when I got home and remembered I'd took this out of the freezer to defrost, I used to absolutely adore this meal and I enjoyed it yesterday but is it worth 608 calories for the tray, I don't think so, it is supposed to serve two as well, but even with rice, that's a push, I had it with a slice of bread and butter.  

I made ramen noodles for dinner but I wasn't hungry and I wasn't impressed either so Aryn inhaled both bowls!  Then he started on these which were a gift from Anita. 

He teased me but eventually let me have 2, then I pinched 2 more when he went to bed :) they cost me 172 calories though, not really worth that, I can resist having more.  I did stay within my calorie allowance thankfully, and looking at the fitbit app, there was at least 500 calories more burned than eaten, 500 calories a day is 3500 a week, the equivalent of a pound weight loss.  

If I can get over 6500 steps a day I'll be pleased because walking causing me pain, which is why my exercise is being done in a seated position, it's still burning calories and using my legs.  I was in pain with my knees when I'd finished yesterday but they eased off eventually, use it or lose it ay?

Salmon for dinner today, defrosted from freezer, think I'll keep it simple with mash and peas, tomatoes on toast again for breakfast use what's left of the tin.  Another trip to the gym after the huddle this morning, then a bit of housework at some point, I have a pile of washing up to do, no one else is gonna do it are they.

I'm hoping to fetch Aryn's new school uniform today, had to order new trousers yesterday after seeing him walk across the road and realising they'd divorced his ankles by a good 4 inches!  It'll mean a trip to M&S which might mean I treat myself to something nice to eat for tomorrow.  £93 for 5 pair of trousers and 3 shirts, it's not easy to find trousers for a 6ft teenager, everywhere that sells them is out of stock, oh to have a 30in waist!  

Time to get ready for my day, at least I slept till 5am this morning not stupidly awake at 4am which is ridiculously early for anyone, the cats are running round like loons again this morning, they tried their hardest to get me out of bed this morning, jumping on my bedroom door handle - crazy cats! 

Let's have a wonderful Wednesday shall we, Wellness Wednesday sounds like a good plan doesn't it!  You in? 

Mwah, luv ya
