Day 51 - just another day

So today was a really ordinary day & I say that because more of our days are ordinary than notable. However every day is special because despite being ordinary they are all different.

The thing that bonds them together is probably the fact that whether the day is ordinary or extraordinary we still have to eat!!

So on this ordinary day I've eaten

A bowl of Crunchy Bran with fruit salad and semi-skimmed milk with a glass of water.

Then I took Dom to school and popped into M&S to buy lunch (arbroath peppered salmon, mixed salad, cherries, raspberries and blueberries) and then on to work.

When I got to work I made a coffee & ate the raspberries.

Then my new colleague Karen arrived (we have two Karens now so be prepared for confusion although they are both very different - lovely, but different). I spent most of the morning helping her to settle in, sorting her e-mail (partially sorted really!) etc. Get ready for my meeting ate lunch and then off to a meeting.

I drank a lot of water & coffee today so have been 'weeing' a lot too - had to nip out of my meeting midway but it was three hours long :0(

Then back to the office to lock up and bid farewell to Karen until next week. She's been so productive - makes me feel quite inadequate really.

Then I came home - lots of parcels outside which was surprising as both the boys were inside!! Toby came home mid-afternoon from Brighton. Amazingly they both walked straight passed the parcels on their way into the house!!

Anyway the biggest parcel was our anniversary present to ourselves - a hammock which I'll put together sometime this week - let's hope the weather will be nice enough for us to use it at the weekend.

I really wasn't in cooking mood tonight so made a big salad with cottage cheese (pepper pesto flavour) and hard boiled eggs dressed with balsamic vinegar.

So you can see this was an ordinary day - I think these days are the ones that are the most risky when you are trying to shed the unwanted pounds. When I go out I'm very focussed on making good choices and avoiding things that are too fatty or sugary but when I'm just doing the normal things it's easy to lose focus in the middle of day to day family life - a lesson to us all :0)

Tomorrow I'm at a conference in town - not an ordinary day so must remember to drink enough & make good choices - just hope lunch is more than sandwiches!!

Night all xx
