Evening Ponderings

It's that time of night again where I'm sitting up in bed with the man curled up beside me, sound asleep, the dog sound-oh at our feet and a film on the telly. All that's missing is something tasty and delightful to munch on. I'm thinking about some Pogen Wholegrain Krisprolls   served with some philly cheese, and a bit of philly's light garlic and herb spread, which is so yummy! I've been missing out on that for so long! It's actually a lot easier to spread than the original cheese spread, so that's a blessing. It's so smooth and creamy, and the garlic's there but definitely does NOT overpower the flavour of the cheese. The herbs are a really lovely addition to the flavour mix and, all in all, it's a delicious savoury spread and oh so yummy with the krisprolls, which together help eliminate some of my recent "munchies".

Honestly, I'm not sure why they're so bad right now, but I'm finding it bloody difficult getting rid of them at times. So hard that I've started taking note of what I'm eating, trying to drink a lot more instead of munching on whatever I can get hold of beside me, and trying to make sure my meals are as nutritionally filling and healthy as possibly which is turning out to be a hell of a balance for me to reach. How is it done? Seriously? I can't work it out. We eat loads of vegetables with every meal now, a bit of protein and some carbohydrates. Maybe I need to eat more brown pasta instead of mashed tatties? I guess I'll work it out eventually.

But today, I've decided I really need to start and lose weight. I was looking at elliptical trainers in the Argos catalogue, but the ones I can afford have a maximum weight limit of 15st 7lbs, and let's be fair, I'm over that limit by a fair bit. So, my target for the next 2 months is to lose 1st 7lbs to make sure I'm at that weight. Any more lost and it would be a blessing! So, from tomorrow onwards, I'm going to be brave and post my weight up for the world to see, so you can all keep track of my weight loss/gain - whichever happens first! I would do it tonight, but I'm keeping the man awake with the TV and light and laptop. He's ever so good sleeping all through that. I don't really think he woke up since what he said to me didn't make a lick of sense. Something about shitty green trainers? I don't know. Apparently they were keeping him awake. Personally, I think his back was doing it. I do feel guilty though, because if I only had a laptop that would type quietly, then it would be absolutely fine since I dim the screen a lot. I just think it's the general sound that keeps him from drifting off to a deep sleep. Poor honey.

Enough ramblings for now. Maybe a weight blog to come, but we'll see how I'm feeling, given that it's 10.42pm!
