On a mission to make me well....

Monday 29th January 2024

Oh yes, another day in the bag that's me starting day 29 of tracking, not just tracking but making those changes, finished the day well within my allowance.  

Breakfast at 8.30am was guacamole and egg bap with chorizo, mushrooms and spinach, 477 calories but delicious and kept me satisfied till my next meal which was 4.15pm, I also had an apple, I'm enjoying them at the moment. 

Dinner was beef burger with cheese, lettuce, tomato and gherkins, chips, a side salad and carrot & raisin with orange juice.  SOOOOO good, the carrot and raisin idea I had from my meal at Egos, it wasn't quite the same but it was still nice, I put it in the microwave for a couple of minutes to soften it up a bit, I'd eat it again on a salad for sure.  898 calories in total with the mayo and ketchup on the burger, plus I ate the orange after squeezing the juice out of it. 

I'm still drinking hot water instead of tea, bit of a head when I woke up this morning which I'm guessing is caffeine withdrawal and I didn't think I drank a lot!  I haven't had a glass of wine since last Tuesday but so far it's not made me feel any 'better', my sleeps the same, I thought when I fell asleep in the early evening it was because I'd had a drink, but I'm still doing it.  I'm taking painkillers instead of drinking wine to numb the pain in my back / leg but it's not as pleasurable or as effective lol.  It is however saving me calories and money so there's a win/win!  

The money I'm saving is covering all the fruit we're eating :) 

I was very pleased that I managed to walk a mile and a half yesterday with Aryn, we walked around the drive which I was led to believe was a mile but according to the time it took and my Fitbit it's more!  

The average person does a 20 minute mile and mine is saying 23 minutes but I have to stop every now and then to stretch my leg or squat down to relieve the pain so I don't think that's too bad.  prior to December I could do 15-20 mins before the pain kicked in but at the minute it's kicking in immediately, it's constant so we'll work back up to pre December fitness I'm sure.  I've had some suggestions for my core strength which I'll have a go with too.  

Deadloch was funny and strange, I did snooze through some of it but what I saw I enjoyed!  Running out of things to watch, I'm even at the point of watching the YouTube crap he watches with him! 

I had a nice soak in the bath yesterday after my walk, must do that more often, I do love a bubble bath, it's relaxing.  I did wake up this morning thinking about my hospital appointment tomorrow, I've just read all the gumph, I thought it said I couldn't have sex for a week which is why I was thinking about it when I woke up, but it doesn't it says normal physical activity and sex can be resumed when any bleeding and discomfort is settled :) What can I say, when mom was ill I went a decade without, I'm making up for lost time!  

TMI I know so we'll move on to today, Jumbo fish fingers on the menu today as they're use by today, I thought we were having chicken but that's tomorrows meal.  I wanted chicken, fish finger wraps for breakfast?  Could I sell that to the boys?  Then we could have chicken for dinner.  Tomorrow then depending on how I feel we could have something easy....

Right let's get this day started, huddle chat to put together, house is pretty tidy to be honest and the laundry basket isn't full but I do need to strip the beds and do that.  I want to get to the gym too.  

Have a great day, 

Mwah, luv ya 

Love me x
