My life revolves around food. I'm not a big breakfast fan, but from 11am I'm thinking about lunch. after lunch I'm thinking about what I can have for dinner. I get in from work and start cooking that dinner. Evenings are spent wondering what I can eat tomorrow. Lather. Rinse. Repeat.
I like routine, I get in from work, pick up the post and head to the loo (usuallyI've been busy at work and not taken a comfort break since lunch). I'll come back down, kick off my shoes, head to the kitchen and start dinner. By the time it's cooked I've missed the first 5 mintues of The Simpsons/My Name is Earl (husband kindly fills me in), we eat dinner. He washes up and tidies up my kitchen mess (who knew home made chips and roast chicken could use all our pots and pans!) then I veg out on the sofa (usually with my laptop and the whole of the internet to amuse me). Maybe we'll watch a movie, after dinner we always enjoy a cup of tea and shout at the news (Kirsty Young what ARE you wearing??). At some point I'll realise I'm tired, and head to bed, husband will follow 20mins later, waking me up for a cuddle and then off to sleep.
Not much movement in there.
So today I've made a cake! Yes, it's not exercise (and don't worry about the food part, its very slimming world friendly at 0.5 syn for the whole thing!, will post about it tomorrow - if it tastes good!), but it's doing SOMETHING. I'm sat waiting for it to cool so I can finish it off, and I feel good. I've done something productive with my evening.
In other news - this arrived today:
So tomorrow after work I will, most definately, be moving more!
I have just realised what a brain dump that was! Apologies!
ReplyDeleteMakes perfect sense to me! Do you include a mid afternoon snack at all? Perhaps a banana and a plain yogurt about 3pm would fill a little gap and then you could do exercise straight away once you are in from work. I find it easier to stick to then we can relax and have dinner a little later on.
ReplyDeleteI don't but I need to! Banana is a good idea, will start that today! I want to get into the habit of eating a bit later - D always wants to start dinner the second we're in the door, which means it's usually gone 8pm by the time we've cooked/eaten/digested/washed up, and I'm too relaxed to move more!
