Day 141, The 21st week. Party party - NOT
The family is finally beginning to feel a bit better. Tilda is now free from her ear infection, and everything should roll on as normal this week. It’s been hard with children and servers waking me up during the nights, and I’m feeling an autumn lethargy setting in.
I have to keep watching what I’m eating. The Max hamburger diet was easy - it was great to have a menu and to know what I could eat all the time. I’m still eating five times a day, using a menu and regular eating times. I’m trying to take a lunchbox with me to work, to stop my lunches becoming unhealthy. I cooked loads of great food while I was at home with Tilda, including lasagne with a 50/50 mix of carrots and minced beef which turned out to be a great success. Pia’s salmon pasta is delicious, as is the Thai-style chicken fillet casserole. I have to publish some recipes a bit later on.
The same breakfast as during the Max diet
Fruit between breakfast and lunch
Lunch
Afternoon snack of fruit or vegetables (an organic tomato or some carrots)
Dinner
A piece of fruit or some fruit salad in the evening if I’m feeling peckish.
The weekend was celebrated with an oral defence of a doctor’s thesis and a Christening. Congratulations, Doctor Per, you are the king and everything you touch turns to gold! For my part, there was FAR TOO MUCH drink, and my brother had to drag me home. I’m simply not used to my new body not being able to cope with large quantities of alcohol, but I’ve certainly become cheaper to maintain. The Christening on the Saturday WASN’T one of the highlights of the weekend. I had no opportunity to exercise before I was due at the church, and I was thoroughly hung-over ALL day. I’m obviously getting too old for this now!
I spent the Sunday fetching packing boxes from the attic. Now it’s time to clear up before the move, which is a lot of hard work and great exercise for the back and forearms.
Exercise 2 x weight-training for chest/back. 1 x moving boxes to and from the attic (really hard work), 4 walks over the same period.
