OK, so maybe not the Fifteen Miles+Stretchy Bits Monday I'd anticipated.
Walked with Ma this morning, but we took an odd path, and ended up doing just, essentially a couple of miles. Had a McDonalds porridge (plain) and a large de-caff skinny latte from Costa for my breakfast, which put me in a calorific surplus, irritatingly enough.
Had a frankly mad morning of work and work and more work, and was planning to go to the gym at unchtime, as I mentioned yesterday. When the time came, I was tied up in work phone calls and family visits and, needing to get back on track, I never made it to the gym. So - not great, all in all. Had a tin of soup (218 calories) and four slices of granary bread - yeah, you heard me, four - each at 85 calories, so about 560 calories of lunch, sue me! - then worked on till d came home.
Did an hour of biking though, that burned me 580 calories - so lunch and a gulp of my morning coffee were voided. The biking still feels good, the pushing, the sweating, the getting back into a daily routine with it.
And for dinner tonight, d make Swiss steak, which was glorious, and some fingerling potatoes, which were carb, yes, but not much of it. Feel full and content now though, so happy to call that a night on the eating front.
Who knows what tomorrow's weigh in will show? To be honest, I'm philosophical. I'm keeping the goal in mind: to reach 17st 7, my first new milestone, which will push me back to having lost three full stone since I started. Three more stone and I'll have usurped my previous best!
I feel like I've done enough this week to warrant reaching the goal, but who knows? Since the National win though, I'm feeling positive, energised, committed and generally like things are going my way - a feeling enhanced tonight by checking into the business bank account and realising I can pay a chunk off the credit card. So as I say, am riding a positivity vibe tonight, that won't be rocked to death if tomorrow it turns out I haven't met the milestone.
Back to the 5.5 mile trek down the Trail in the morning though, certainly...
Although d says we're due a couple of blizzards overnight. Hmm...
