just 'cos

I've come to the realisation that exercise is a good thing and that I should encourage myself to do more of it.
Now don't be thinking that when I say exercise i'm talking about a lengthy amount of time at a sweaty gym at a time of day I could be either tucked up in bed or on the couch!!

Exercise for me = a brisk 10 / 15min walk 2 - 3 times a week with hubby & dogs after work.

Might not sound like much and I guess it isn't but when you do nothing normally, something is anything. Yesterday I took my ipod for a run / walk by myself and went further than I normally would with the dogs, so if I can muster up motivation for that on a Saturday arvo, I've got good things coming to me.

Saturday food...don't get excited it's pretty crappy... just note that I don't CS on the weekends, i just try and eat less than what I used and eat the right things.... unfortunately that didnt happen though...

  • warm water with lemon slices
  • samples of organic burger, 2 x organic sausage flavours, 1 x lenards chicken sausage - off the nice ladies who get to cook in the middle of the shopping centre and hand snippets out to ppl willing to eat them.. like me :)
  • actual breakfast was a treat that I had planned on - 1 x hot hot cinnamon donut and a shared choc thickshake
  • 1/4 choc CS bar mid morning
  • lunch consisted of an apple, carrot, celery & philly cheese
  • snack - pickled onion wrapped up in a piece of cheese
  • i then bucked and ate a small packet of twisties.. after which I promptly picked myself up off the couch and went for that run
  • more snacks... cheese, kabana, picked onions - no crackers though!
  • and dinner was cucumber, capsicum, celery and drumroll for the worst bit of all................. 9 mcdonalds chicken nuggets....... with 4 or 5 vodkas.....
  • total water consumption about 3L

All in all I think it could have been worse... I didnt have crackers with my snacks or macca's chips with tea.

Sunday projection for food:

  • breakfast - eggs & bacon (no toast)
  • snacks will be fruits & cheese
  • lunch will be god knows what...maybe salad?
  • dinner - homemade meatballs with vegies / salad

see all back on track hopefully for Monday :)

TUESDAY = WEIGH IN DAY... hoping for at least another 1kg but not likely after the week I've had!!!
