The Nutterball

Weird start this morning. Ma had prophesied (some would say forecast - but only if they didn't know Ma) torrential rain this morning, so we'd agreed not to go walking together. Nevertheless I woke up naturally at 6.20, an figured, given the absence of the sounds of torrential rain, I'd get up and go anyway. I switched off the 6.30 alarm, thinking "I'lllllgetupinaminute...."
Needless to say, I woke again with rathr more of a start at 6.50. Got quickly dressed, went downstairs to turn on my phone and texted Ma that I'd slept late, just as she was texting me to say she'd slept late but we could go walking if I wanted.

We did, but not our normal route down the Trail. This morning we took a circuitous and largely uphill route to Costa on a whim (a rather bittersweet decision, I should say - I'd been planning to meet Rebecca there at 8, but cried off because I was going to be walking down the Trail at that time!)
Only burned about 400 calories that way, then had a medium decaff skinny latte which replenished abut 150 of them. With the addition of my usual three Weetabix with semi-skimmed and a large coffee when I got home, I could pretty much have forgone breakfast an stayed in bed for two hours. The calorific impact would have been the same.

Lunch was yesterday's dinner leftovers - chicken and rice - again, carbs. And today throughout the day I've had handfuls of mixed nuts, which with one thing and another are probably not the healthiest or most advisable of metabolic boosters.

The result is that tonight I feel underexercised and bloated and flabby, like a butterball...but made of nuts. A nutterball, I suppose.

Now the sensible among you will say "Well, get on your bike, lardass!"
And I might, still, but I have to tell you, I've been pretty much exhauste ever since coming back from this morning's wak. Actually went back to bed from 10.30-11.30 (taking an early lunch break), because I couldn't keep my eyes open. Didn't feel like a diabetic thing, just...unff...

We'll see. The bike might rescue me from this feeling. Orrrrr it might not. Let you know tomorrow.

Oh, Happy Indepence Day to all my American friends, by the way.
