Last night was good, World War 64 did not erupt in Aberdeenshire, hurrah!!
The chicken bolognese was bloody fantastic, even if I do say so myself! I am SO going to make that again, it was really good. There was 3 BIG portions, given all the veggies I stuffed in the sauce, and I must say that I am rather miffed that the remaining portion is in his fridge for his tea tonight. That's not fair, I made it! *hmph* and we didn't make cookies. I bought all the stuff, and new baking sheets to use, since I had an inkling he wouldn't have any [which, was correct!] and got to his, forgetting that his scales are kaput. Oh well, saved a few syns/points/calories/whatever.. And chances are, the toblerone won't last 2 days in his cupboard...!
I went to the gym -
25 minutes on the bike,
5 minutes on the rower. Not a lot, but the rower started to make my leg feel funny, so I'm not sure I'm doing it right. Maybe I wasn't strapped in tight enough, I'm not sure. I'll be careful next time, see what happens.
Then
25 minutes swimming. I cannot swim in a straight line. At all. I drift to the left... haha. Remind me never to do lane-swimming..!
With the bike, since I had decided to cycle to London, which is 540 miles. Rethink! The machines at THIS gym, are all in KM. So, it's 870 km now. I did
8.2 km last night, which isn't too bad! If I can aim for 10 km minimum a go at the gym, we're on to a winner. My aim is by the 30th September to have done this. We'll see..
Today, I am having a
Red Day.
The Boy made me a bacon sandwich for breakfast, since there was no beans for beans on toast. [
HxB + 1 syn for BBQ sauce]
Lunch is a salad with chicken+cheese bits in it. [
HxA for cheese + 2 syns for salad cream]
Snack later will be a ham sandwich [
HxB]
Tea will be after Weigh In, and I'll stop at Tescos to see if they have anything nice reduced. Steak maybe, or a heap of mince. I fancy loads of meat today... No idea why, I'm not usually much of a carnivore...!
Snacks - I've had a banana, and an alpen bar [
3 syns], rhubarb yogurt and an apple to go.
So 6 syns so far. I'll probably have the lot, given that it's a weigh in day. Might treat myself to a curly wurly later
I am quite pleased with myself for yesterday. It's shown me that I can do it, the whole healthy eating + gym + domestic goddess thing.
Ok, Domestic goddess may be pushing it, it was only bolognese at the end of the day. Jenny-style. Bung it in a pan, when it starts burning, take it out the pan and whack it on a plate. Done. Sorted. I turned down dessert, a walk to the shops for chocolate, cheese n crackers, wine, and a glass of Morgans. I think this is it, I think I have clicked!
Gosh, I don't half waffle on, do I.... haha
Hope you all have a rip-roaringly good day. I don't know what that means... I think it's a good thing though..!
Have a fab day people, I'll get a good catch up tonight
