Yesterday I was feeling really positive, a day to go get 'em and get things done. I have days like that, really, really good days...but unfortunately they are often followed by a 'what is the point' day.
Today was one of those not so good days. I really did want to start the challenge well and I managed all right to begin with...then things went downhill somewhat foodwise (and the day is not quite done yet so I feel there may be another glitch before bedtime yet). Starting anything when you are feeling down is not the best idea, starting something were you are denying yourself things that you have always used to make you feel better is shall we say a guarantee of failure.
Still it is not all bad news, tomorrow is another day and I will hopefully wake up with the cloud lifted and get stuck in again (to the healthy regime, not the naughty food! lol). I can feel myself coming out of it now, so fingers crossed tomorrow will be the proper re-boot that I was aiming for.
Anyway, here is an idea of what occurred today...
Up at 7.30am
Let the chickens out, fed and watered them, then cleared up their mess from the coop and pen.
Checked the poly tunnel and picked some veggies (tomatoes and peppers).
Paul is at hope off work and full of cold, feeling generally rather sorry for himself. I'm afraid that in a not so good mood myself I didn't give him as much sympathy as perhaps I should have.
Sorry Paul...xx
Spent some time doing washing, hanging it up, having a bit of a tidy in the kitchen, did some washing up and took the dog out for a walk.
12.00pm Brunch - Natural yoghurt, chopped banana, oats and some raspberries (fresh of the bushes in our back garden...yummy).
Pottered around, did some sorting and tidying in the living room (it still looks a mess though...I have too much stuff and really need to have a good clear out). Took the dog out for another walk.
2.30pm - Scrambled egg with veggies (chopped pepper, onion, tomatoes, mushrooms and courgette).
1 x hot cross bun with a bit of butter for afters (this is were things started to go wrong).

More general pottering about, not actually achieving much (probably should have just given into the mood and just played on the computer for the rest of the day...lol).
Later things continued to go astray food wise. We had most of a large multi pack of crisps in the cupboard, so I had some of those...also a few lollypops and chews left over from the summer fayre, so I had one of those too.

Around 7.30pm we had our evening meal after I had watered the poly tunnel and let the chickens out for a run around the garden.
One oven baked chicken leg, a baked potato with a bit of cheese and healthy option baked beans.
I had another hot cross bun with some butter afterwards.
As I say the evening is not over yet, there may be other indiscretions and if there are I may not sully tomorrows blog post with a confession. Best to forget about today and start anew tomorrow...yes, that sounds like a good idea.
I will leave you with a tune, not totally right for today...but it was the tune that came to mind when I wrote the post title for today. Enjoy :-) x
