Hooray bank holiday weekend has arrived! My husband is home for the long weekend ... double hooray!
Feeling positive this morning (I know I shouldn't yet again but weighed on the scales and think I might be down a pound) ... at long last! Yet again I didn't eat very much yesterday so probably what I eat today with stick with me :( and I could possibly see it back on again tomorrow.
I got up this morning and after some fruit and yoghurt I went for a 5k walk which felt great. I still need to do some more steps to meet my target but am determined to do it so might go out on the cross trainer for half an hour just to make sure I reach it. The Garmin Vivofit keeps changing my target daily ... today it is 12040 steps! I am already at 9305 so haven't many to do!
Well ... here is something for you! I downloaded 5K runner to my iphone and done a little bit of jogging today ... me ... yes! I have never ran or jogged in my life! Basically it tells you when to walk (usually 5 minutes at a time) and when to run (1 minute at a time), as it was my first day my session only lasted for 25 minutes even though I walked further and it took me 47 minutes.
I also use an app called walkmeter which is excellent and gives you lots of stats! It is also free to download ... bonus! This is how I got on today ...
I came back and had lunch which was nice ... salad sandwich (my Healthy Extra B choice for the day) with celery, radish and low fat cottage cheese (the tesco healthy living one with onion and chives which is free! Really enjoyed my lunch ... feeling very stuffed now!
I have also been ready about adding cinnamon and fruit to water to help detox your body and aid weight loss so have made a jug up to give it a try! Slices of lemon, apple and a cinnamon stick thrown in ... I really need to up my water today as didn't have the 2 litres I try to have every day yesterday! Hoping this will help!
Right off now to do a bit of housework (yuck) and maybe do some more steps on the cross trainer! Laters!
Dinner tonight had to be chicken (I had left it out to defrost) I toyed with the idea of a curry or chicken salad but in the end coated it with herbs and spices and put it under the grill. I served it with teriyaki stir fried vegetables .... Onions, mushrooms and peppers stir fried in garlic, ginger and soy sauce .... Was delicious but am soooo stuffed now!
