Boiler remains uncondemned - went for a celebratory run!

 by supervixen @ 07 Oct. 2005 - 11:23:27

Phew!!!!

The boiler is just getting old (it's two years younger than my beloved) and needs a new valve & thermostat. The bits are available, it's not been condemned to the scrapheap in the sky, and I can breathe a huge sigh of relief that we are looking at a bill of £120 odd instead of £2000 odd!

:>> ;D

Anyway, to celebrate I went for a ralk (run/walk) and did a bit more than yesterday. I was stopped by a woman driving past asking for directions while I was mid-walk - she must have thought I was on death's door as I panted and puffed out the directions to the local nursery. She did look rather concerned...:))

Anyway, I was offered a bit of the Thornton's cake when I got home, which I gratefully accepted (it's OK, it was a teeny bit and accounted for in my daily total) and I savoured it with a mug of lemon & ginger tea.;)

I'm going to earn myself another 95 calories in a minute by doing my weight training...

Lunch is going to be Healthy Choice soup; a slice of bread & Olivio; chopped apples & fresh strawberries and a dollop of organic Greek yoghurt. Or I might save the fruit & yoghurt until mid afternoon... :|

That will HOPEFULLY see me through until 8pm when it's dinner time...

It's great that you're getting some exercise but hopefully, after the birthday and the evening out, you could bank these extra exercise points for a bigger weight loss. Enjoy the two events anyway!

Apparently, according to WLR, you are supposed to have all of your exercise points, or as many as possible. My basic allowance is actually pretty low at 1390 (most cal controlled diets would suggest around 1700 at my weight) so to stop myself getting too hungry, I have to earn the extra points, as I put myself down as 'fairly sedentary'
