Apple muncher's number crunching

Had a notional amount in my head for the full food shop of £50. It came in at £49.97! Plenty of keto-style ingredients, a la Lilty.

Lunch will be avocado, tuna, onion, lemon juice. Dinner will be roast chicken and salady veg mix with sour cream.

My head is doing the fuzzy-feed-me-carbs-NOW thing. Ha. No. Lilty says to do it for a week. So am drinking copiously. And then a bit more...

Had to make more fat bombs. Dh came home and promptly set about re-arranging the fridge. And managed to spill them. Twice. Oops!

Have input tomorrow's lunch into the fitbit food log thingy. Cor, keeping under 20g carbs must be extremely hard! Lunch alone has 11g. Will have to find alternative(s) for avocado as a whole one at lunch has overdone it and I can't face another one! (I bought 8...!!!!!)

Can't wait to try the keto ice cream: 1/2 cup coconut milk, 1/2 cup sour cream, 1 heaped tblsp cocoa (will omit the stevia and cinnamon probably). Mix and chill. And eat!

In financial things, I paid in £68 of coins so that has been allocated to the mortgage and added to the stretch fund. Won't have another stash like that for quite a while!

Dd has a friend over and her mum is due 'after work', so anytime between now and 7ish. The chicken is roasted and I am salivating, despite not actually being hungry, but we have to wait until the friend is gone....

Ooph!

Went to cycle to work. Chain was off so put it back on and cleaned myself up. Noticed front tyre was a little flat so pumped it up. Took the bike out front, all togged up ready to go. and noticed the tyre was a little flat again. So, not a useful bike. Returned it inside and set off on foot. 5 mins later, realised I hadn't brought my purse, so went back to get it. And left again. Then 2 mins later, realised I had no water (not necessarily an issue, but the journey has been known to take 2 hours if the buses all play silly games!) so went back to get that. And then set off again. Buses were fine and I got a good walk in.

Lunch was scrummy! Had a load of poached salmon, some ham, some butter and some coleslaw. I may just have been a tad greedy... but the scales were most definitely my friend this morning, which may perhaps have influenced my choices...

Having scoffed that plateful, I had to leave, in order to allow enough time for the 2/3/4 buses needed to get back in time for dd. She is going to the after-school disco but wanted me there for some of it. And this morning I forgot to give her any money to spend so must go armed... (coined???!) The return journey was a good one and thus I am here, with the tennis on, a cold glass of water and mse. Luxury!

It was, Al. Alternating between very active and opportunities to watch tennis/Tour stuff.

Now I just need dd to fall asleep! We've a fairly early start tomorrow and the main thing is for me to take enough food and drink for the day. Having maintained a NSD today, I won't necessarily enforce one tomorrow if there is a need. But I hope to cover all eventualities: coffee in a vacuum mug thingy, lots to eat WITH ICE PACK and cutlery, plenty to drink, big scarf to sit on or use as a towel. There's a mixture of children going , and souvenir shop visits will be discouraged.

And dh has the fun of a hospital visit where they'll put lots of drops in his eyes and he'll be lucky to find his way home!!


Day #3 of the keto malarkey complete and the fuzzy head has gone. Still drinking copiously (must curb that for tomorrow!) and according to the food I've put into the fitbit food log, I'm over on total calories for today. Bothered? Not a jot. I confess to having 1 mega strawberry, 3 raspberries and prob a couple of dozen blackcurrants!

I have just paid over some money so that the mortgage now falls in the 49s. I won't tell dh - will wait smugly and see if he notices!

It is 8.30 and dd is still asleep. She must need it! A drizzly day means we probably won't go to the playground, and we may also skip church (not due to drizzle, may I add!) .
