Hot chocolate and Harry Potter

So I have my evenings back for this weekend at least. I have to go through work to get to them which is fine by me. Means that come 2pm I am free to do whatever I want...once I've squeezed in my exercise and shower of course. 

I'm currently wrapped in towels writing this post (sorry for that mental image, but sharing is caring) post exercise and pre-Harry Potter and hot chocolate. I have been on the bike for three days whilst watching the second one and tonight I'm going to wrap that up and watch the third. I'm not an actual massive fan of the films. I'm sure most people who love the books won't be entirely thrilled with the big screen adaptions. But I haven't watched them for a long time and I found that the final one wasn't actually too bad. The first two are perfect for me. The acting isn't amazing being that they were all hand picked random kids but the ambiance of the films is awesome. That and they managed to get the important stuff to come to life. After that they lost their magic, excuse the pun. I always left with a feeling of 'well why did they leave THAT out'.

Anyway, Potter tangent aside I feel today has been a good day food wise. I started with a bowl of probably super sugary but masked as good for you crunch and fruit cereal with soy milk. Post work dinner was a Morrisons Beef and Horseradish sandwich (a new discovery of mine which I love!) with a malteasers bunny and some diet wafer things posing as crisps. I think they're Special K. I remember the salt and vinegar ones not being half bad but these, I think they're, cheese and onion ones are pretty rank. Still they added some crunch to my sandwich. I also had an epic coffee. Decaf coffee and lactose free milk. Don't know if I have mentioned the combo but I am thrilled to have my coffee back! Even if it is without the buzz. I actually was thinking about a lovely hot coffee yesterday evening, to the point of drooling. Ran downstairs to find mum had used all my lactose free milk to make a sauce for tea. I was gutted. Soy just separates in the coffee for some reason I am still yet to fathom. But today I've had my fill. 

Tea was a sausage casserole thing with liver and onions. Probably a little over my 700 calorie limit but a good dose of iron! I like a little liver but anymore than a little and I'm done thankyouverymuch. 

Anyway tea was sandwiched with exercise and now I am finished, clean and ready to have a quick clean of my room before I settle. I have let it get right messy again with me just not having the evening time to keep on top of it. Still, I'll make a dent tonight and hopefully finish tomorrow. 

I'm planning a breakfast of rye bread in some concoction or other. I haven't had it I don't think but I read that cutting out bread and substituting rye might help somewhat with my IBS bloating. Fingers crossed anyways. I've had a few bloaty episodes this week and frankly, I can do without that come the opening night of the play! 

For now though, I'm off for a dry. Good boo.
