Food and exercise
Well this diet isn’t going to bad now I am used to it and not missing the fats as much. Now when i say fats I mean things like cheese.
On a standard day I eat for breakfast 40g Light n Tasty with 1/2 cup trim milk. Morning tea a piece of fruit. Lunch 1/4 cup cooked rice with salt, salad with a little light mayo, 50g chicken or turkey. Afternoon tea 3 dried apricots and 3 dried prunes (to keep me regular) and maybe 8 almonds. Dinner steamed veges with herbs or salt and 100g chicken or fish followed by fruit.
Today I was up at 5am and at the gym at 5.30. I did 20mins on the cross trainer and 40mins on my weights circuit. Went to coffee group and had water and a banana, while everyone else had Christmas treats, cake and pies. Did the kindy pick up and then drop off. Decorated a little more for Christmas and then picked up Dayna. Prep-ed dinner. and then as soon as Martin walked in the door I left for a 40mins power walk.
I was on the home stretch when I heard keys jingling behind me, it sounded like they were running but never overtook me. I heard it again so looked over my shoulder and could see someone there but they still didn’t overtake. Eventually I went to cross the road but a car came round so I paused but my stalker didn’t. She got across the road and stopped and when I got across she stopped me to chat. She said i was fast and must have strong legs. While we were walking I felt like I was now dawdling and yet she was puffing. I was trying to get back to watch Home and Away so was a little annoyed I had to slow down and therefore pleased when she turned off.
I got home to dinner cooked (thanks Martin) and sat down for dinner with the family. Well they ate homemade burgers and fries and I ate fish and steamed veges.
As I hadn’t walked for 1 hour I decided I would go for a 20 minute bike ride. Martin and I did the dishes. He then ran the bath while I took off and got home in time to dry the kids and blow dry their hair. I feel accomplished that I got through my evening workout. I now get to blob.
The kids have been coming out of bed a lot so we said if they get out then they won’t get their chocolate in the morning. We have an Advent Calendar each so they love the concept and choc. Well it worked as they have not come out yahoo.
I am up again at 5am for the gyn so will be in bed at 9.30pm.

In which case (bed by 9:30) you wont read this till the morning.
It’s good to hear someone tell you you’re walking fast. Sometimes you need those comments to realise that you’re not slow like you think.
Glad you’ve come to terms with the new eating regime. And you know that it’s working
Well another busy day for you been and gone and it all starts again tomorrow at 5am!
