I had today off work because after three hours lying awake last night unable to breathe OR blow my nose, I was exhausted. I’m glad I did take the day off – I’ve been blowing my nose constantly, plus the sneezes, crabbiness and general exhaustion that comes with a cold. I spent the day looking after my dad, who had a bit of an accident last night. (He was walking down our stairs and slipped, landed on his lower back and fractured two ribs. Poor thing.)
I did manage to do a low paced 40 minute walk, just to keep me moving and because I didn’t do anything yesterday. (Other than eat naughty McDonalds, that is.)
It’s a bit enlightening – usually, taking the day off I would head over to any drive through just to eat. Anything. Wouldn’t matter what. Just wanted junk. Needed it. NOW! And even being smarter with what I eat, I still automatically started thinking about what to eat today… just because I was home. Scary, isn’t it? After yesterday’s splurge, I was good today, ate well here at home. I even cooked dinner tonight: basil risotto with grilled chicken pieces mixed in. Smells so good, I can’t wait to EAT.
Food – toast for breakfast, banana sandwich for lunch, plus about four cups of tea, dinner will be risotto. Exercise – 40 minutes relaxed 4k walk.
