Sorrowful Sunday followed by a Mildly improved
Monday
Well my cold continued
into Sunday thus ruining my usual routine of starting Sunday with Zumba,
followed by a dog walk, then usual household chore type things……
Instead I started
Sunday with a red nose, red eyes and a continued dose of self pity - and I
drank more tea than I normally do…because everyone knows this is the
universal cure for all ills.
I did have an on plan
breakfast (why do my illnesses never seem to ruin my appetite??), I had a
veggie sausage fried in spray oil with mushrooms, tomatoes, a little bit of a
fresh chilli to spice things up and a sliced potato, and brown toast – it
doesn’t sound good but it was, and it was on plan. Then I had a Satsuma.
After that, I did walk
the doggies in the rain, all three of us looked a tad sorrowful when we got
back – so there was much towel rubbing for them, and another hot tea for me.
I really wasn’t that hungry
at lunchtime as breakfast was both a bit late and large, so I had a yogurt and
a YoYo raspberry fruit roll.
Then a lie down
followed, when I struggled up again with a little bad TV….got to love a
little bad daytime telly when you are under the weather.
Time went quickly and I
seemed to have to rush my son to work at 3pm and then it was nearly time for
dinner and I hadn’t done anything about it – so, I made a SW lamb curry, rice, and veggies– yes, a little odd but it was tasty and filled me up just
fine.
More TV in the form of
the Strictly dance off and I was just about done in having done precisely
nothing all day. Lovely hubby took pity on me and made me an options white
choccy drink which I enjoyed immensely – then I struggled to stay awake till
10pm to collect our son from his work – as soon as we were home I went immediately
to bed taking the doggies for hot water bottles (frowned upon by many I am sure
but comforting they were, they didn’t judge my scary sticky up hair, pink nose
or moody face either, sweet lads that they are……)
I made the decision on
Sunday evening that short of a miracle I would not be driving to my customers
site and coughing and sneezing all over them on Monday, so Monday started with
me working from home in my pj’s. Well, its half past three in the afternoon and
I’m still in my pj’s but I do intend on getting dressed soon…….maybe.
Breakfast beans on
toast with cherry tomatoes.
Lunch a nakd bar (syn heavy but I really needed a treat) and a diet coke.
I worked through the
day, with short rests and much nose blowing and before I knew it it was time to
prepare dinner.
As I am still poorly I
went for a simple to create diet coke chicken with peppers in, with veggies and
brown rice.
Followed by yogurt and
fruit – of course ( I really must get more imaginative with dessert….perhaps if
I am feeling a tad better I can make some low fat jelly tomorrow and top with
quark mixed with an options – that is surprisingly nice).
Well this evening is
the second dog walk, lovely son did the first to save me as I was ill – and a
bit of reading and faffing on my ipad in bed – fingers crossed these germs are
on the way tomorrow. I feel a little indignant about getting a cold when I am
eating enough
vitamins in my super free food to floor an
elephant!
I have the cinder toffee coffee by beanies to try tomorrow - the SW excitment never ends right :)
I was a little low today, but reading the lovely blogs from the purple bus kept me straight - writing down what I eat makes me more mindful of it, so thank you for sharing those that do - love reading what everyone else is up to.
Good night all. x
