Day 4

Friday comes around so soon! I was in work early this morning so initially planned to drag the crosstrainer out tonight but I’ve had a cold brewing all day so tonight has been all about resting and napping!

Smoothie mix alternatives

I found these “breakfast toppers” in Aldi last night so mixed them up with some oats and milk for breakfast this morning, as a die-hard Reeces fan, I have to say the peanut butter one did NOT disappointment!

Generally, I’ve noticed I’ve been feeling tired the last few days but I’m chalking that up to early mornings and increased exercise. It’s definitely a different kind of tired to usual though … more tiredness than lethargy which I’m pleased about as that’s when I fall into the vicious trap of eating junk because I’m too tired to cook which leads to me feeling more lethargic so eating more junk and the downward spiral continues. I was tempted to reach for the junk food while feeling ill but managed to stick to Linda McCartney burgers so healthy but easy!

I think the weekend will definitely be a test of my resolve. That’s when I’ve previously had “cheat days” which just get out of control and ruin any work I’ve done during the week. I have a walk planned for Saturday and then we’re at a local gig on Saturday night (I’ve already sworn off alcohol!) and hopefully to take Trev out again Sunday morning for another 11.5 miles and then climbing Sunday afternoon so another big calorie burn day.

I was tempted to step in the scales earlier but holding out until Monday morning and will update stats then … fingers crossed everything is a bit smaller 🤞

Steps count hit again and another calorie deficit
