Glad the play was good, even if it was funny when it wasn't supposed to be!
Great exercise today. Don't really know about swimming cals, can't remember the last time I went swimming.

Well MFP says 90 mins of 'swimming, general, leisurely' burns a whopping 818 cals looool. That means according to MFP I've burned almost 1300 cals today. *snorts in disbelief* I reckon I've done 800 if that. You DO burn crazy high in the water from the fact that there's resistance to pretty much every move you make!! But I don't think I burnt quite that crazy high!!
Having pork steaks with apple sauce an melted cheese for tea
with potato skins and salad. Mmmmmmmmmm so good!!! And I had eggs for lunch so a nice protein-ey day! Yumyum.
Gotta go dig my car out if the snow again and head out to the shop. It's not far but I'm Soooooo not walking today!!! Blizzard conditions lol. Jamies only just come in out the garden. Bless him.

800 is still pretty damn good though!
NutriStrategy - Examples of Calories Burned During Exercise, Running, Swimming, Walking to Weightlifting says 558 for an hour of leisurely swimming if you're 205lbs
Calories Burned swimming, leisurely, not lap swimming, general says 563 based on you weighing 207lbs So I guess about 560 is about right for it based on those two.
Sounds like a tasty day food wise, I love pork and apple sauce!

I just watched Australian biggest loser and the host is an Olympic swimmer. She just said that 30 mins of swimming can burn up to 300cals. I don't know if that was leisurley or fast laps. Maybe MFp's predictions are not far off?
Well ive had the 36 hours of DOOOOOOM with JamieO. (his lunchbox got shredded in the washing machine and he can't cope with the idea of a different one. My fault really. I forgot and bloody put it on a spin cycle!!!)
He really wasn't up for school today so by the time I shoehorned him into the car and got thru traffic with him yelling at me.... Then dragged him through the slush to his class....... Still yelling like a banshee......I was a bit stressed and feeling like an epic failure of a parent lol. Lucky for me the headmistress can always tell when I've had enough so she forced a coffee on me and a box of Kleenex. Then another of his classmates arrived.... Screaming blue murder, being carried over dads shoulder and wearing nothing but a pair of pants. I think the 'let's not get dressed so I can skip school' strategy had backfired lol.
Is it evil of me that I perked right up??? It really cheered me up that although we were having a bad day at least we had our trousers on!!!
STS this week. Frankly I don't care. I ate half a giant Xmas pud with baileys infused custard at 2am last night. STS is a GOOD result lol. (the pud was the only comfort food I could find and I was extremely sleep deprived....) and the upside is..... I'm STILL full looooool half a pud is a LOT of pud!!! Haha so I've skipped breakfast and will have extra cals to play with at teatime
If I manage by some miracle to find an identical replacement lunch box before 2pm I will go swim some laps. I suspect it's going to be a bit trickier to find as it's not sept and there's not a lot of school stuff in stock.

Hope you find that lunch box hun. Sorry things haven't been great this weekend. Still, a STS is better than a gain. You might have turned to the xmas pud, but at least it wasn't more. I would have spiralled and eaten my body weight in chocolate. (which is alot!!lol!)
Hope you get to swim
Hope you get to swim
No swimming. No lunchbox. BUT I did manage to stick my car in the mud ooh the wheelspin was awesome!!! Down side is it cost me £8 to get the HUGE amount of mud plastered all over my shiny people carrier washed off at a car wash place.
The guy was like......It's a zafira not a blooming landrover ....... what have you DONE to it?? PMSL kids found it all highly amusing when u rolled up in a mudmobile to collect em.

Hilarious, wish I could have seen it!!
Wooohoooo we have a lunchbox. I had to take photos on my phone of all the possible candidates then his majesty chose the one he liked. It was a cheapski one for a fiver too!! Bonus.
Off to aquafit at the gym in a mo. Never been to this one before. Hopefully it'll be a good burn!! Because I have a bit of a fattyfattychubbchubb dinner planned looool!! American ranch salad, potato shells, and chicken stacks (chicken, spicy tomato sauce, mozzerella and hashbrowns in a stack ) cannot believe the salad alone is nearly 200 cals PMSL that's a hefty dressing!!! Also cannot believe I've squeezed that ^^^^ plus porridge, ham omelette and salad, fruit bag, AND a smidge of coconut cartedor into 1200 calories!!!! I am actually a genius.

It was horrible really. Pity. The chicken was like boot leather and my husband took one look and said 'oh good, I was just fancying chicken in cat sick sauce'
In fairness the hash browns disintegrated so the sauce was full of bits lol. It was not cat sick. Luckily the salad was, as always, delicious. It's julienned carrot cabbage onion and broccoli stalk with a ranch dressing. It's so good.

Oh no, it sounded so fab! Never mind, at least the salad was good.
