Upping the veggies!
Tuesday, 27 February 2024
Here's to another great day!
I fancied a burger but the beef one wasn't on the fixed menu so I decided to try the plant-based burger and I wasn't disappointed at all it was tasty, looking at the menu it says smashed avocado was on the burger, it can't have been a lot if any as I don't remember seeing or tasting any! Calamari isn't usually a starter of choice but I really enjoyed it, he had 3 of the pieces as it got a bit greasy the more I had, I'm not a massive batter fan but he loved it and asked me to buy some to eat at home. Those pickled pink onions were delicious, I might try making my own.

In a rush!
Monday 26th February 2024
Short one this morning as I've got to be at the gym by half seven! Having a check up, so it's a fasting one, see if my cholesterol is any different to last year at the docs when they said the triglycerides had risen from 0.4 to 1.1! My overall cholesterol was fine though.I did go over my calories again yesterday but it was all tracked, consumed 2003, Fitbit says I only burned 1,821, that's what sitting on your backside all day does for you!
I need to have a good few days now, no wine, lower calorie intake! This shows the differences between burned and consumed since I was weighed Thursday!
That was my food day, we watched a good film, definitely recommend. We then watched Beef on Netflix, weird, I can't tell you if I liked it or not, but I did fall asleep a couple of times and couldn't wait for it to end!
Right I need to go as I've got this appointment, then a physio appointment at half eleven then I've got to write notes for huddle at some point so a busy day off.

Definitely wasn't extreme yesterday!
Sunday 25th February 2024
We had a great huddle yesterday, lots of success, laughter and just a great way to spend your Saturday morning. When I got back I made us poached eggs on crumpet which were delicious because I put butter on them too! Set me back 573 calories with my actimel.

Good Carvery, don't like the queues though!

Feeling positive!
Friday 23rd February 2024
Finished my day with red wine and a pack of mini cheddars and ended on 1654 calories, so 123 calories leftover and I burned 2024 according to Fitbit, so a deficit which is what I want. As himself said last night when I said I'd lost 1/2lb and as long as I can do that every week I'd be happy, he replied or stay the same now and again is okay too and he's right.

Weigh day!
Thursday 22nd February 2024
Another week complete and I'm ready for the scales, I have managed a 2,683 deficit according to the apps so we shall see if I get a result! I haven't been very active at all though thanks to a flare up in my pain, no gym or walks but I've still got the deficit because I've managed to do some moving!
Yesterdays food looked like this fruit and a crumpet for breakfast, a chicken salad sandwich and the M&S corned beef hash which was okay, turns out Aryn has had it before and he doesn't like it so now I have to eat the other one again today so as not to waste it! They've put cheese on it, I've never had hash with cheese, don't get me wrong cheese makes everything better but it adds extra calories that aren't necessary on that meal!Wednesday, 21 February 2024
Let Tracker day 52 begin
Tuesday, 20 February 2024
Let day 51 of tracking commence...
Tuesday 20th February 2024
Well I'm late this morning because I showered and then Aryn went straight in there and my glasses were in there so I couldn't see a thing to do anything! I seriously need new glasses, I've never liked these once I realised they don't stay on my ears when I bend down, metal sides are not a good idea, they bend too easily.I wasn't able to do the gym, in far too much pain to risk making it worse at the minute but I took Aryn for him to do his and I sat with my book in the cafe.
I nipped to get my throws from Dunelm £5 each in clearance - bargain! Elle got my curtains so they're all up and look cosy. The ones I've taken down I sat and got the cat hair off and they can go in a bedroom in Ireland so no waste there, same with the green cushions I've taken off the sofa they can go on the sofa there as we have sage paint for there, we were doing it at Christmas but he was poorly wasn't he!
I rested the rest of the day and started watching One Day on Netflix, I have read the book but so long ago I can't remember it.
Busy day ahead with huddles, looking forward to them, I really could do with a trip to Aldi for essentials like fruit and milk, the kid uses them to make himself a smoothie every day so it's a good thing as he's having the entire fruit.
Right I'm off, have a great day, I'm starting day 51 of tracking, I may have gone over that one day this week, but it's all being tracked!
Mwah, luv ya
Love me
