Day 14 - good words; if only it were that easy :)

'You should provide your body with fuel only when it asks for it and not because you have nothing else better to do' (Adelaide Dench - Dietitian)

Wise words that I read on Twitter today - FYI I think Twitter is probably the most pointless application ever hyped!! I use it for work but it's not great although you do get some little gems like the one above.

So today I went to the gym & burnt of just over 500 cals (about a Mars bar I think) - I've hurt some muscles/nerves in my back which hurt when I turn my neck which was agony this morning (no idea how I did it!!). I decided to go to the gym anyway but got to the end of my road & nearly turned back because I couldn't look round properly. But I persevered & it was worth it because it felt a bit better afterwards & I burnt the calories!
I drank about 1.25l of water before, during & after - very good.

Then I picked up my friend from uni, Janine, who was in London today (she lives in Glasgow) for a funeral. It gave us a chance for a coffee (Starbucks in Edgware) & a catch up for the second time this year - miraculous as we can go years without seeing each other. We've known each other 25 years & its amazing how you can just pick up with really good friends however rarely you see them. I felt really good after I'd seen her for two reasons

1. It was great to see her :)
2. For the first time ever (I think) I managed to just have a black coffee - no cake, biscuits, sandwiches, yummy hot choc etc. And..............I didn't want or miss it :)) 

I had a salad with SS, quark & crispbread for lunch & tongue (don't make that face if you haven't tried it!) with salad & carrots for dinner. Lots of water & local squash plus fruit - altogether a very good food day which I hope bodes well for tomorrow.

I'll let you know & add a current picture if I'm a happy girl.
