Just a brief blog today, but I wanted to write to tell you all to stay safe in this weather! In the space of the hour that I've just spent at the gym, the wind seems to have picked up even more. I know that nobody needs a lecture, so just stay safe, and be sensible.
I went to the gym intending on doing loads, but I took my book and just read for 45 minutes whilst on the bike. I did over 9.5km though, and I was sweating way too much for a girl, so at least I've done some exercise! I'm reading "A Fine Balance" by Rohinton Mistry; it's a powerful book, to say the least, and I cannot put it down.
I'm not too confident about Weigh Day tomorrow. After my very heavy weekend, I don't feel like I've pushed myself the extra mile in terms of my exercise regime. If I maintain this week, I will be happy, but I am guessing my first gain, probably a pound or so! I'll just have to work twice as hard next week, although it's half term and I usually slip into bad habits when we're off work. I'm sure that you guys will motivate me enough to stick with it while I'm not distracted by work.
I tried a Low Low ready meal this evening for my tea. It was the Chicken and Chorizo Paella. My first mistake was buying a ready meal that's microwave only, when I don't own a microwave! It said it was to be steamed, so I put it into my steamer for 30 minutes, like I did with the Weight Watchers steam and serve meals. This didn't work, so I ended up putting it in the oven for a while. After all the hassle I didn't even enjoy it. It wasn't as tasty as the Weight Watchers' meals I've had, and the chorizo content was almost non-existent. The only thing that I liked about it was the £1 price tag. I'm clearly a Weight Watchers girl at heart.
Off to bed now to scare myself silly as I catch up on The Following. I've a long day of moderating, followed by Parents' Evening, ahead of me tomorrow, but I will try to update you all on my weight at some point.
Remember, take care in this awful weather.
