Day 3 – Survived a Friday!

Well, of course I survived, but what I mean is that, despite all the temptation that Fridays ordinarily present me with, I stayed within my points. It was helped a lot by my a partner arriving home with the flu. I wasn't happy he was sick, but glad that I didn't have to face the possibility of our regular Friday pub dinner.

I was exhausted yesterday - I only managed 4 hours of sleep the night before so I was tired before the day even started. Work was surprisingly cruisy given the tension I had experienced the majority of the week (annual report season in graphic design land). I declined the drumstick icecream that my colleagues had for afternoon tea, having a cup of tea and popcorn instead, and I was ready to go when Mary arrived to walk home with me.

Unfortunately, the 'sugar free V' energy levels I'd acquired at lunchtime declined rapidly just after we set out. So did the weather. It wasn't a comfortable walk and I was very drained by the time I got home. My boy and I went to bed early after soup and toast for dinner, and although my sleep was interrupted, I feel much better today.

Here's the run down for yesterdays food:

Day 3
Breakfast:
2 x crumpets (2)
1 tsp maple syrup (1)

1/2 slice banana bread (2)

Total points day 3: 19
Exercise: 1.25 hour walk (slower pace than normal)
Balance: 86.5

Incidentally: My weight has crept up to 69kg, prompting me to take this 'back on track' action plan. My healthy weight range is 56 - 70, so I'm borderline. I'd prefer to hover below 65kg, so that is my aim, to get back down to 64-65kg. My ww goal is 66kg, so I'm sitting over that now.

Our new mattress is arriving today - at about 1pm. Can't wait to be sleeping comfortably _ my back is giving me grief, and I'm only 26. I've been blaming the bed ever since I noticed springs stick into me if I lie in a certain way. In the meantime, It's a perfect opportunity for me to clean the bedroom so I'm off to do that now.

Ciao.

P.S: does anyone out there have rollerblades... ?
