This Morning:
It's Monday and I'm planning on having a very healthy week.
I had leftover tuna and veg risotto for dinner last night and couldn't get enough. My plate was enormously full TWO TIMES, and Dunc's eyes nearly popped out of his head. Seriously, that is not necessary. I should be making lots of steamed veg and healthy stuff to fill me up instead.
I'm going shopping for scales and healthy food. Everyone will laugh at the contents of my trolley.
Edit:
This afternoon - Just went shopping and did good, but got incredibly tired and faint. It's not as if I hadn't eaten or anything... (It was 2pm and I'd had porridge for breakfast at 9am and a grilled veggie foccacia for lunch at 12!) but maybe I really DO need to be eating more often. I got all shaky and light headed... I sat on a wall on the way home and ate a banana, then at home I had a yoghurt and a slice of bread and felt lots better.
Later on -
BLAH. Now I've eaten a huge amount again. I suppose this is all just a learning curve and I have to find ways to cue into my body's signals better.
FOOD SO FAR TODAY (pre dinner)
- Porridge with dried cranberries, decaf skim coffee
- grilled veggie foccacia, green tea
- Banana, vanilla yoghurt, slice of bread with cheese
- small plate leftover tuna and veg risotto
- 1 slice bread with cheese, 2 slices of bread with nutella
- 2 squares dark chocolate
BREAD BREAD BREAD!!!! Just say no. I'm learning! It was the sneaky woman at the shops who just brought out the warm light rye loaf while I was walking past... and this country does the most incredible bread...

Kate - HAHAH!

Bridget Jones knickers!!! That is totally what I need right now. haahaha.

Awesome. So there's this point at the pelvis where (oh, wait, I'm about to get techincal and anatomical. Tune out now if you're not that interested

) the bones meet right at the front, and there is a strip of thick cartilage that allows for a small amount of flexibility and mobility there, allowing you to take long strides, walk up steps, sit on the floor cross legged, etc. But for me right now, my HORMONES are making that connection start to become too floppy to quickly (it does need to stretch out a lot, but LATER, and SLOWER!) and causing masses of pain when I lift my leg, roll over, get up, sit down, walk in any way that doesn't resemble a penguin, etc. It's awesome. But hopefully I'll just rest for a while and let it recover, as well as use a pelvic support belt thing (hello bridget!) and it'll stop being so inflamed.
Thanks for giving me the go-ahead on getting scales. I was worried I'd get yelled at. LOL
Cate - YOU ARE NAUGHTY! hahaha.When worlds collide...

But I KNOW!!! HOW AWESOME WAS THAT COMMENT!!!!! I was so supremely chuffed about that.

She is a gorgeous friend, and one of those people who will always tell you how beautiful and radiant you are looking every time you see them. Friends like that are good for the soul.

Thanks for being so happy about that for me!
