Morning all, happy Tuesday.
I'm feeling quite motivated today, I'm sure the feeling will wear off as the day goes on 🤣
I'm having an upside down day today by WFH this morning and going into the office this afternoon. I have a meeting later this afternoon that I could do with 3 screens for and I only have 2 at home. I'm going to do 6 hours at home, walk to work then a couple of hours in the office. That way I still get the box ticked that I've been in the office today. I don't need to be there this morning but I do this afternoon. I might struggle to find a desk but it's only for a couple of hours. It also means I don't need to cart my lunchbox and thermos coffee cup to work and back.
Because of this I had a lovely leisurely start to the day as I was up at 5 as usual. I read a few chapters of my book, did some Spanish learning and listened to a 2 minutes mindfulness technique about setting intentions for the day.
Today's exercise will be walking to/from work later and a live resistance bands class at 6.30.
Tonight's dinner is the smoky tofu chilli on a baked sweet potato. This will use up a portion of smoked tofu from freezer stocks and also some veg from fridge stocks. I joined a live session on food inspiration on my WW app last night and have noted down some more new recipes to try. I've got leftover dhal for lunch and I've had overnight oats with pineapple and mango for breakfast.
Ages ago I bought a journal and coloured pens, filled in 2 pages then abandoned it. I'm trying to get into filling it in at the start/end of the day. My desk drawers are full of abandoned planners/journals/etc. I usually lose the momentum after a few days so I'm trying to introduce it as a new habit to make it stick.
Just realised 6 weeks today we go to Ibiza 😎I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)8 -
I’m another who has enthusiastically bought coloured pens and pads only to be abandoned after a few days. I definitely eat healthier when I’ve kept a food and exercise diary….my downfall is I only like to fill them in on good days 😂January spends - £587.582
