Well I made it out for a walk

In fact I made it out for a lot more as well. We walked into town to dinner on Friday night, I had salad for starter and salad for main (tomato & mozzarella to start and Cajun salmon for main). Then shared a banoffee sundae with was well worth the cals. I went home early, Al got in about 2am I think. He’s not too clear either to be honest. Still, he enjoyed himself!

Saturday, I slept. Did nothing. Hardly even ate if I’m honest. I did manage to go shopping though so the fridge is full again for a while. Lots of greens and protein, not much in the line of carbs. I’m determined to slim down this waist. I’m not going full-hog Atkins or anything cos that leaves out a mountain of veg, but I am aiming on having carbs twice a day rather than 4 times a day! And reducing quantities of said carbs as well.  This belly of mine will reduce!!

Of course the other element in all this is exercise. On Sunday, I introduced Al to the joys of a fitball weights workout. He was surprised at the difference it made having to balance as well as do the weights. I was doing the same weights as him for a lot of it! So a good half hour workout there for us both. OK we were both extremely sweaty and clammy afterwards, but that doesn’t matter. It was fun working out together as well – we’re going to do it once a week anyway.

Yesterday shutdown started in work. Lovely day, but my heels are ripped to shreds from my safety shoes. Still, the climbing up and down the stairs from the 25m level is good exercise. I must have climbed bottom to top and down again at least 4 times yesterday. Alright, so over the course of a day that isn’t much but equally, it’s a lot more than I normally do.

Feeling good about myself today. I need to increase my green veg again – thinking of making bolognaise sauce with all the veggies in the fridge tonight. Lean mince with a pile of veg and a salad on the side will fill me up and do for tomorrow night as well when I come in from Rosemary Conley. Scales say I’ve lost weight this morning so hopefully that will show on Karen’s scales tomorrow night.  Hope so anyway!

So that’s me for the last few days. Getting there, slowly but surely, getting there. Picking up the wedding dress in 4 days is certainly focussing me!!!
