Well two things come under this heading today well actually three.
Firstly me! Today I have been good! I've behaved food wish, I've listed to myself and although I have had a treat I was in controll.
Breakie was a yoghurt with cereal (grape nuts 20g) mixed in which seems to last a few hours with minimal calories! Add the curry from last night and this meant Breakie was late and also no snacks eaten!!
By lunch I had drunk 1.5l of fluid too!
Lunch was a wholemeal pitta with a small tin of tuna (with sweetcorn and low fat mayo) with a LARGE salad (box takes almost 1l and it was almost full) followed by a yoghurt.
As a treat I bought an individual chocolate ... it was very nice but much larger than I thought but hey ho!!
I also looked at low carb foods ... not cos I am going all low carb and atkins but because they have higher protein levels. It is often mentioned that slim fast is a good replacement for a recovery drink and now they have a "lo cal, lo carb" range and this give 21g of protein per can. So I have one to try (interestingly it is 35-40 cals lower than normal slim fast too!)
Club run tonight ... we tend to do 11-12mm pace with some hills/intervals and I guess it will be 4-5m so that'll burn some calories!! My Polar seemed to give me about 115 cals per mile so if I think of calories that is what I use as a guide. Which means that my ready meal will be almost accounted for by today's run!
So today I have been dedicated to looking after me!! Long may it last!
Secondly I've noticed that some people are just not dedicated bloggers!! I mean "yawn zone" hasn't been updated since 1st Jan and some haven't been updated since conception! Tut tut!!
Conversly and thirdly some have been dedicated to updating their blogs and playing with the tools - namely Beanz and Aim High! Thanks to this I have noticed the "compose" tab and found colour etc ... whereas I was merrily updating my blog using the default tab of "edit HTML"
Now life is so much easier.
So that's my update for this afternoon!!
Boring I know!
Sorry!

I was using compose, with no enahnacements, until AimHigh gave me some tuition.
Have a good weekend.
I hope I can run on Sunday, cos I have carboloaded today - no endorphins for days makes me feel lumpish.
