discodoris Full of resolutions, hardly surprising for a first day. I had a slice of the raisin and cinnamon loaf that my partner bought over the weekend, for breakfast, with a mug of coffee with a generous amount of skimmed milk and a couple of artificial sweeteners. That's the way I generally take my coffee. On arrival at work, I made my coffee, but with a teaspoon of sugar and semi-skimmed milk, because that was what was available at the time. I'd completely forgotten the big jar of granulated sweetener in my desk drawer, doh! I'm still feeling under par, from the cold or flu virus that bit me a little while back. Consequently, I've allowed myself to do virtually no physical exercise at all today. I took the car to work, thence to Sainsburys at lunch time to replenish my fresh foods. I bought pork steaks, chicken breasts, prawns, smoked salmon trimmings, grapes, oranges, apples, salad, veg, skimmed milk, low-fat probiotic yogurts and low fat houmous.
For lunch, I had some more of the raisin and cinnamon loaf, a yogurt, grapes and an apple, plus coffee again. I had a cigarette at lunchtime, but it was the first of the day. I made it through the afternoon without having one, too. Packing the stuff into the fridge, I noticed that the fridge could do with a proper clean, but I settled for just wiping the worst of the stains away with a damp sponge. I'll need to do it properly sometime soon, but I procrastinate terribly with housework.
On returning to work after taking my shopping home and unpacking it, I got my Acer laptop returned. It has been being repaired under warranty and I'd been unsuccessfully looking for how to query the status of the repair earlier in the day, so that was a pleasant happenstance. After work this evening, I had a list of things that I should have got on with, such as mowing the lawn, finishing all the washing up that can't go in the dishwasher, ironing the blouses that need it, generally tidying up and vaccuuming. Suffice it to say that I've done none of them. Instead, I've been reinstalling all the programmes that I use regularly onto the laptop, pulling my music library off the external hard-drive and generally sitting in a chair with a computer in front of me, again.
But I did enjoy this evening's meal, of four thin slices of seeded bread, spread with a little reduced fat salad cream and stuffed with prawns and cos lettuce, accompanied by a bottle of orange Fruit Shoot. I intend to make a smoothie later on if I'm hungry - there's plenty of frozen fruit and milk.
It's a start, albeit a very gentle one.
