I got into bed at a reasonablish time, but wasted at least 30 minutes watching TikTok on my phone and then read a big chunk more of Where the Crawdads sing and texted Alan to suggest it would be good for him to come to bed, but even so I think we only got about 6 hours of sleep.
After hitting my heaviest weight in over 5 years yesterday at 76.8kg I made the decision to take action and address this, which is hard as whilst I can exercise more with a bit of extra time that I don't spend commuting and a bit of extra time off, if I don't do exercise then I only cover about 3000 steps when I work from home.
I weighed out my cornflakes and milk and had 2 coffees. I fed the cats after Qubit appeared with a dying mammal and ate half of it.
We kicked off with a morning call at 9am and then I had a few quick calls to make before I had Rach's appraisal at 10am which went well and then I had a few more calls to make before Pilates at 12pm for an hour. Of course Hello Fresh arrived as it started, but I managed to grab it and return to the class without too much interruption.
For lunch I defrosted some leek and potato soup and finished up the salad that I'd made yesterday.
We had a team meeting for the public sector team at 2pm and then I had a meeting with a client at 3.30pm which went well.
I then had a productive day until finishing work around 6.20pm when I went and started cooking dinner as we had In Conversation with Louis Theroux with Guardian Live booked to watch at 7pm. I made a vegetable curry with naan bread and Alan went on his bike to drop off the tetra packs that have been living in my car at the recycling centre.
It was fun watching Louis, he spends so much time interviewing and meeting other people so it was interesting to see him being interviewed and talking about his book, we'd posted a question, but it didn't get asked. Alan had used his Ipad to log on and casted it to the tv. We heated up some rhubarb crumble from yesterday and had some cream with it and watched an episode of Scrubs. I added up all calories I'd consumed on myfitnesspal and realised I was over by about 568 and so decided to go out for a run. Alan was doing some filming and I went upstairs to read some more "Where the Crawdads Sing" and realised it was getting quite dark so I went out and ran up and down the drive about 24 times and burned up over 600 calories in 45 minutes and covered about 7.5K and as Alan had been recording he wanted me to go out the back and as I was heading back I found a very noisy Qubit having a heated debate with one of the neighbourhood cats and so I brought him back in after I managed to entice him back through the gates to the cottage. He struggled, but I managed to get him back in the house.
I had a very quick shower in the bath and got into my pjs and went downstairs and watched a bit more scrubs with Alan.
