I went out for a walk this morning and tried to be part of the day. Blue sky; cool wind around my bare neck; bark-brown female Willy-wag-tail, so much drabber than the male bird that she's hard to see; the gnarled white trunk of an enormous gum tree. I found walking much easier than other times recently, it's nice to be over the flu and I think maybe I'm not quite as unfit as I thought. Unfit, but no so unfit that a half hour walk kills me.
That means I did half an hour of exercise three times this week. A large part of my brain is berating me for not doing a lot more, but I refuse to listen to anything other than the cheering section. Yay, three times this week! Great work!
Then I came home and made lunch. I created this recipe made out of things I like but I wasn't sure about it because it only had a splash of light cream instead of being smothered in the full-fat version. But it ended up delicious. Strips of chicken breast and sliced mushrooms stir fried with garlic and pepper, then a tablespoon of light cream and a little chicken stock at the end, on a bed of grilled asparagus.
All for around 250 calories!
Might as well give you a picture of my dinner as well:
Lovely vibrant colours. The steak was delicious. It was all good. Hunger makes a great seasoning. I find I'm a bit hungrier than usual at mealtimes, which I think is a good thing. I should be hungry just before I eat!
Evening was harder. I wanted it to be snack time, mindless eating time. But it wasn't. I waited, then had my allotted supper of yoghurt.
And day seven successfully completed!
