Bandwagon

First day back on the bandwagon and it has gone pretty good so far. I jumped on the 'scales' (read: wii fit board) this morning and the verdict is in: 14 stone 6 pounds... +3 pounds. Considering the sheer amount of crap I have subjected myself to this past week, I can't say I'm not unhappy with that number. Like I said at the start of this blog, the media over demonises the Christmas period to the point where people feel guilty even for letting go just on the big day. Calorie counting should be the very last thing on your mind during the festive period! 

I had porridge this morning for breakfast (I have a mid-week day off so I could have my breakfast as and when I wanted it) with some raisins in it and a clementine just because there's lingering festive feelings. Dinner consisted of a tin of tomatoes on toast...with five Roses. I know, I know. But I did technically cater for the calories. Tea has just happened about an hour ago and it was a small pie (homemade and gluten free. I have an uncle who is a celiac), mash and some veggies. Not a bad day calorie wise. There has been moments where I have wanted to dive into the chocolate pile but I think that's more out of boredom over anything else when I'm stuck at home all day.

I did just venture out to Tesco and blow some money on stupid things I didn't really need. I don't have an awful lot of money to play with but I have mentioned my lack of a social life, so it's not like I have to save money for nights out and the like. Not always a bad thing when I NEED a particular pair of shoes. 

As it is, I have just gotten back from walking my little dog. I have two terriers and one, being an old and distinguished lady of 9, doesn't bother coming along on chilly, wet evenings such as you find during winter. The youngest of the pair would go walkies all day every day if she could. I didn't go on a long trek, with it being dark and wet there's no routes I can safely take to be honest. But it was a good 25 minute walk and there is a hill involved so, whilst not massively strenuous, I think it can still count as exercise. I'm planning on finishing up this blog and possibly digesting for maybe another thirty minutes before blowing the week old dust off the exercise bike and busting out another 40 minutes. I have just set up the blu ray player Santa brought me (I was seriously spoilt this year) and it even makes my normal dvds look more interesting. So no doubt the Alias episode I choose to bike along to will look pin sharp!

After that I think I may have a cheeky hot chocolate and some fruit or jelly should I want a snack post shower. Potentially whilst watching the Snow White and the Huntsman blu ray which was included in the things I don't really need splurge at Tesco. Tomorrow will be another day of not being a glutton but I think this will be easier to get back into than I assumed it would. I just have to avoid being bored enough to nibble on random crap and all should be well. 

For this evening though, good boo.
