Today has been preetttyyy good I think. Did work and that this morning and had a repeated breakfast of jam and bread with a yoghurt drink. I wasn't hungry at all come break time and then when I did get hungry later on in the day I snacked on a tangerine. Post work on Sundays is always a roast! Today's offering was beef.
My mother cooks a mean roast and seeing as it's mostly veg, I don't mind stacking up my plate. I refuse to limit or minus the roasties however. I only have them once a week and it's not tons. Maybe two small potatoes worth if that. I figured a roast would be around the 700 calories I allocate for big meals, but I read somewhere about roasts being closer to 1000 if you have all the trimmings...I don't know if they're including things like pigs in blankets and the like (which we don't have) but still that's quite a lot. I guess it's mostly the potatoes and the gravy. Never mind though, I do an active work day as I have mentioned before, and I have exercised too today. I didn't think I was going to. Used to be that Sunday's were my day off from exercising and that feeling has stuck somewhat. I was knackered from my early start, the house is freezing because the heating is broken again so I was under my duvet and I'd just knacked a massive roast. I was three blinks from sleep when mum shouted me for a trip to Morrisons.
Whilst I could have kicked her, it did motivate me to exercise as soon as I got back before I got back into the duvet trap again. I biked and 'rowed' (which is killing my neck/shoulders...I warm up before I use it but maybe I'm doing it wrong..I don't know) and I'm currently in my pjs post tea contemplating a movie. At Morrisons I ran into my easter nemesis. Well both of them but mostly the Malteser bunny! (The second one being mini eggs..). I love that little bunny. Maltesers are my favourite sweets I think. They're only 150 calories a piece so I figured I'd work it off with the bike. Or just not care. Part of the calories were covered by my tea 500. I had pumpkin and chili soup, a piece of bread, a tangerine and a weight watchers yoghurt. All told, around 400 without the bunny. So I don't feel bad.
I do also have a hazelnut kitkat (one of the new flavour things) which I am dying to try but I'm out of calories so it will have to wait till tomorrow. Well I say I'm out. I am planning on cooking up some popcorn to have with a film in a little bit. It's about 100 calories for the bag which came with one of my Graze boxes a while back. About time I used it I feel!
Right my hands are literally getting too numb to type right now. Need to get this heating sorted asap good lord. Breaks just in time for the cold snap. Perfect.
From a chilly me, good boo.
