Wednesday 25th May

Diet today: cup of tea (2 sugars & semi skim milk), bowl of Kellogg's Crunchy Nut cereal with 10 extra nuts added (hazel & Almond), 1 small banana, for lunch 5 Oatcakes with cream cheese smoked salmon pate, I small plum. For dinner, 1 chicken thigh (cooked a recipe Piquant Chicken) with saute sweet potato, butternut squash, peas and French beans. For snacks I've had a pear and another banana......

I received my books today from Amazon that I ordered using LyzzyBee's Voucher she gave me for my Birthday (THANK YOU!!!!). I got 2 Robert Goddards, Anthony Worrall Thompson's Gi Diet Cookbook and The Gi Diet from Rick Gallop.

I've spent most of today reading the Anthony Worrall Thompson book. Basically the Gi diet works on the principle that eating foods with a low GI are better for us as they are digested slowly by the body and keep our blood sugar at a medium level for longer and therefore making us feel satisfied and less hungry. Will tell you more when I know more LOL

Tigzz (the cat, not the DD) went out the garden for the first time today.....he loved it!!!! When DD finally got fed up sitting out there keeping an eye on him he spent the next half hour crying at the door :o( I'm hoping that as I've got 6 foot walls all round my garden, we can manage to keep him in...yeah, we'll see lol

I released 10 books today, all Weebly Westerns LOL..... did get a catch and they joined!!!! http://bookcrossing.com/journal/2810378

So how did I do with my list today then LOL....

1 Start the diet It went pretty well today :o) I'm quite happy with it....
2 Take care of my skin I'm off to do that in a minute.
3 Start de-cluttering the house Motivation is a big problem for me at the moment :o( BB brought home some boxes tonight though, so I might actually be able to do something now!
4 Start selling some stuff on eBay Hmmmm...didnt manage to do this today, but then I really need to de-clutter to come across stuff I want to sell lol
5 Organise my wardrobe Ahhhh...well I blame Jacinta_in_Kent for me not doing this today lol
6 Walk regularly Ok, I meant to, I really did......
7 Try out new recipes I cooked Piquant Chicken tonight which went down really well. Another one from the BarBQ book i've been using recently.
8 Stop drinking coke Still not a drop has passed my lips!
9 Floss every day Done that this morning, but its still hurting a bit :o(
10 Take vitamins daily Done! Still forgot to get the kids to take some.
11 Make to do lists every day I wont be doing one tonight as i'm out shopping tomorrow so wont be here to do anything anyway! lol

I had a call from Jacinta_in_Kent this evening so I spent a great couple of hours chatting about books, BC and stuff! Jacinta was implying that I talk a lot...do I??? I wonder why she thinks that lol. Liverpool were on TV playing the European Cup final so BB was in the living room shouting and screaming. So having Jacinta phone was very welcome!!!! Liverpool won (thank God) so BB is on a high at the moment...or could that be the 8 cans of lager he's drunk ;o)
