Day 29 of 8 week course; Day 16 of 21 days
OK it's great, I've got my mojo back.
It wasn't a good start to the day with a car alarm waking the street up at 5.30am. Fell asleep and snoozed the alarm, went into a dream state so didn't notice it got to 8.15am! Mad rush to get family out of the door, son was late to school. Hubby got the car to the mechanic for an 8.30am appointment! Banana and water breakfast.
Took daughter to the play group she had previously been with the childminder. All very welcoming to me. I was surprised that I wasn't 100% comfortable there as my baby is nearly 4 and so independant that she didn't need me. Had a seedbar while I was there. I just did my best chatting to the mums and helpers. I'll get used to it. It's only this term, she starts part time school in September. Anyway, I had to leave early for dentist.
I have to have a crown for a persistant filling. The temporary gunk he put in put me off eating for a while so that helped! Not looking forward to the crown at all.
Simple ham and pickle sandwich, crudites and hummous, half a bag of monster munch too. Achieved the latest step in decluttering the house. So far managed the kids rooms. Afternoon snack was an apple. Had another seed bar about 5pm for exercising energy. (Couldn't think of a better alternative at the time). I've had no 'real tea' and been really content with my choices.
Thank you to my babysitter for helping out in such a short notice. I was very glad to get to Body Combat as haven't been much in the last few weeks. My cold appears to have very nearly gone. I biked to and from the leisure centre, it was quicker than the car. I liked having the bike out again.
Tea was courgette, red pepper, button mushrooms, garlic, and cashews sauted, and for flavour a mix of soy sauce, rice vinegar and ginger syrup, served on a bed of oven chips!!!!!
Really rather nice to have herbal tea to clear the palate after a meal. I've also had camomile tea before bed (after I brushed my teeth!)
Going to Ragdale Hall health spa in May with hubby so I'm going to use this as my reminder to stay on track. It's quite typical of me to loose some weight, get comfortable and put it back on again. The bonus is though that each time it happens I'm learning more and the cycle will be broken. My binge and recover cycle is changing from 3 or 4 days on to 3 days off program, I've been able to keep on track for much longer this time. I don't like the binge cycle, I'd much rather find my constant comfortable place with food. I do have the same weight to loose. I know that now the cold has (practically) gone I can step up being more active. I gotta get more toned. I've a personal trainer session booked for next month so that will give me some one to one guidance on resistance. I am getting a kick out of blitzing the house so that will keep me moving too. I'd like to go for training runs for Race for Life now it's not long until our local race in June. I'm also going to sign up for a walking marathon in July.
Hurrah, going to bed before 11pm! owww, my tooth hurts a little again :o(
Glad to hear that you are "back in the zone".
I've got a couple of 'matching' crowns - one has a root canal but the other is just like yours sounds....I'm dentist-phobic but they weren't bad at all.
