Early post

Well I feel the need for an early update. Usually I like to leave it to the end of the day because then I can get everything that happened into it at one go. But Thursdays happen to be my 'Sundays' so I'm fairly certain all my activity for the day is already done and dusted. 

I have just gotten out of the shower after my 40 bike minutes. I like to get them out of the way these days as opposed to how I used to do it which was the evenings. It leaves me with my evenings free and without the idea of it looming over me. It used to be the case that I sometimes left it just too late with it being almost an hour some nights when you factor in the shower and with my early mornings at work. Getting it in an hour after dinner ish has  proved to be the optimum time for me.

I have added a new addition to my daily exercise also. Dad was going through the loft (why is it everyone's loft is chock full of crap?) and found a bag of Avon themed equipment mum bought ages ago. There's some device that looks like round scales that you're supposed to stand on and like..swivel your hips about a bit. Doesn't do much for me. But she also has one of those rubber almost rowing machine type things. The ones you stick your feet in and then it's attached to a handle bar that you pull towards your chest. It's actually a lot more effective than I thought at getting an arm workout done. So I have added 30 repetitions of that post bike and I'm thinking of doing 30-40 on a morning when I wake up because it doesn't take long to do, gives a good workout and also I don't end up sweaty after. Let's see anyways, can't hurt any.

Today started with more chocolate than I meant it to. I woke up around 11am (I'm a night bird by habit. If I don't have to be up in the morning then my bedtime easily ends up in the wee hours so I didn't get to sleep last night till around 2am..) which meant I had missed breakfast. So I figured it wouldn't hurt to use that to eat some empty calories because it was close to dinner time anyways. Not many mind, only four so I was within my boundaries. Dinner consisted of a sandwich of low fat cheese spread and cucumber and a couple of biscuits...and some pickled onions thrown in for the heck of it. Again, not a healthy choice I know but still within my calorie boundaries. We don't have a lot of fruit kicking about at the moment. Well none I want to eat, it's all gone a bit ripe and I hate mushy fruit. So I figure might as well help deplete the  last of the Christmas bounty as long as I don't over indulge. Tea tonight is going to be a freezer mash up affair. Mum's trying to clear it out a bit before she restocks it. So it's potato wedges (homemade) and whatever else she can find in there. Won't go over my 700 calorie limit I reckon so I'll be alright in that respect. 

Last night I had a hot chocolate and some jelly as an evening snack with a clementine thrown in about 1am. I reckon a repeat of that could happen. I might just whack open a tin of pineapple with the jelly and replace the hot chocolate with a green tea instead. It would be coffee which was my beverage of choice, but caffeine exasperates bowel type problems apparently. Plus I cannot figure out how to milk it up without using milk on the days I rebel against my stomach and have one anyway. I've tried soy and almond milk but they both instantly separated and made it look undrinkable...

Anyways, for today I feel that will do. Good boo.
