Blah! Bad timing.

My period started today. That's the worst timing. My weigh in is tomorrow so it's bound to make me weigh heavy. But there's not a darn thing I can do about it, so I'll just have to lump it and hope for a doubly good result next week. Ah well. Whadda ya gonna do?

I wrote out what Mum's refering to as her "diet book." She's convinced I should publish it. Reckons there's a market for doing this sort of thing on an individual basis for people. I spoke to her as I worked out the calories in meals that she makes regularly. And I got her to tell me ingredients for soups she makes, so that I could work them out too and tell her how much she was eating per portion.

I was pleased with the result. There are listd of calorie values for many basic foods. A few recipes of both hers and my construction and a few meal ideas. Over the course of the next week, I'm sure she'll think of other things she needs and I can work them out for her as she thinks of them. After a while, it could be quite a comprehensive wee guide. I'm even thinking of printing off a few wee pictures, like the ones I do for my blog to add to the book. Just for fun.

We went for a walk before our breakfast of scrambled eggs and smoked salmon. Yum. A fave brekkie of mine. We were out for fifty minutes and did just over four kilometers. My GPS app, Runkeeper, is linked to mfp, so it worked out the calories used and sent them to my food diary. Very useful.

I got a new, smaller phone. My last one was a phablet and too big to carry about in my pocket. This one will be much easier to use for Runkeeper when TMM and I go for a walk. I'm going to log stuff a lot. The last time I used it regularly was while training for last year's marathon. So other than today, it's been a while!
