Getting organized


I'm feeling good about next week's efforts. I'm getting organized and doing my grocery shopping on line. I did it at the last minute this week, and it saved both time and money. If I call in to ASDA on the way home from work every day after work, that's an extra twenty minutes or so before I can start cooking the dinner, if TMM's working too and not able to cook. Also, I always buy more than I need. Usually it doesn't stop at just the ingredients for dinner. It's an extra opportunity for temptation too. I can buy a bar of chocolate, that sits in the cupboard, and I want to eat it, even if it's a day when I know that I don't have enough calories in my allowance. So actually, it saves time, money and temptation. All good! It genuinely was a joy this week to walk straight home and know that there was food already in the house. Yip. That's how disorganized we generally are. We don't have a store cupboard full of ingredients. We normally shop pretty much every day.

So, this week I have arranged for a delivery tomorrow afternoon, in time to cook dinner for TMM coming home from work. I've even checked out the ASDA website for recipes, to do something different tomorrow. And I was able to add the ingredients to my shopping list for the delivery. All at the click of one button. Eh, technology! It flabbers my gast! It told me the calories in the complete bloomin' recipe too! So, no excuses for boring food tomorrow.

TMM is working all day tomorrow and I am going to do some sort of exercise. It will be half way through the week since mt Wednesday evening weigh in, so a good time to do an extra exercise session compared to last week. I'm going to do something sweaty to burn some calories and that will make two sweaty exercise sessions, counting the exercise at the classs. I keep disappointing myself with my lack of exercise so far. I continually tell myself that I'm going to do more, then I don't. Will I ever make myself start running again? So far, I've convinced myself that I need to postpone it till I'm a bit lighter, so it's easier on my knees. That excuse will only hold for so long, till I'm fourteen stone, at most. I should really start before that. I've run while I've been heavier.

Weigh in in the morning. Just two more and I'll be at this three months. Five pounds to lose to hit three stone off. Totally doable. Fingers crossed.
