Hidden calories


This morning I was up early yet again. This time my grandchildren had requested a nana school run, how cute is that, until I found out there was an ulterior motive haha. Harry needed help with his English comprehension, crafty Sarah, very crafty.

Well, today is the day that the roofers are going to come and mend my leaky kitchen roof. So technically I had to be up anyway. Progress and photos to follow.

As you know I have been following the Delay Don't Deny regime for 5 weeks having lost 1 stone 2lbs and have recently stalled not gaining or losing weight. This morning I decided to go over things that I may be doing that is inadvertently shooting myself in the foot. Oh, my days, it didn't take me long to find a massive booboo on my part. The fruit tea and the cold infused tea bags for water bottles that I love all tell me they are sugar-free, but in reality, they are not. So even though I have not eaten food I have been spiking my insulin with these products thinking I was free to drink them. So from now on it is black coffee straight up and clear chilled water throughout the day. I have also combined the programme with Fitness Pal which is a calorie counting app. This won't make much difference to my regime but it will allow me to keep a handle on my calorie intake.

Last week mum gave me a very battered wrought iron table and chair which had been residing in the bushes at the bottom of her garden. This afternoon I began the job of renovating said table and chair with Hammerite paint. I think you will agree it is a massive improvement and will fit beautifully on my sheltered seating area just outside my new kitchen window.

Well, the roofers were supposed to rock up to the jungalow this morning to mend the roof. When it got to 2.30 I realised that they were not coming bummer. I was a little annoyed as they had not rung or texted me to say there was a delay. Thursday this week was arranged because the weather was guaranteed to be beautiful. They will come tomorrow but I can't promise them the weather, so we will have to wait and see.
