Well I enjoyed my afternoon at the pub and my team won four goals to nil. I behaved myself and left earlier than I would normally do and arrived home around seven. This morning whilst lying in bed I was contemplating getting up and working out on my treadmill before having a bath and getting dressed. I’d had a good night’s sleep and I didn’t feel I had to continue to lie there so I got up and put on my sports clothes and running shoes. I went downstairs and did three and a half miles of training runs and walks over an hour. I felt great. Vigorous exercising and running really does get the blood flowing and the blood vessels dilating and makes you feel good all day. What prompted me to ‘get my finger out’ so to speak was looking at my profile in the mirror! Gosh, my tummy was beginning to get noticeably larger! Victim of the dreaded cider, lager and other weight increasing liquid comestibles. I do keep a close eye on my waistline but I am not a person who will deprive myself of things just to be a certain clothes size. Besides I am not slight in physique but more average. Neither am I overweight, normally that is. Weight problems do not weigh heavily on my mind but I am always aware of my weight increases. The first thing I notice, that is after I look in the mirror (something I do every day because I dress and undress in dront of one), are when my skirts begin to feel a little tighter than usual around the waist. I am a health conscious person too when it comes to food and I endeavour to eat healthily (see my links to the left) which I normally do. Today I can just relax and enjoy the lovely weather we are currently having, play my guitar, look at some blogs and generally chill out. My main meal was prepared earlier after I’d bathed and dressed. It is Chilli-con-carne and it will taste much nicer later when I eat it. I find that is always the case with spicy meals, the spices have time to permeate the food when left for a few hours. I will have it on a bed of boiled rice. Bon appetite eh? Have a nice day everybody!
