Day 6, 84 to go and off to a good start


Well, I was up at 7.50 to welcome a team of roofers and builders for winter maintenance and little jobs like dimmer switches and washing machine plumbing. I made them the customary bacon butties while I myself has a lovely omlette. I used butter again, of the goat variety, clearly....and wondering if the deliciousness yielded by this is a problem?


It is after all, on the list. I am going to do my IMT now and follow this with my spirulina. This is all getting a bit repetitive isn't it? And rightly so, because I really believe that the true secret to success is evidently in the habit forming and repetition. So the more I drone on and repeat myself, the better I get.


I sorted my finances out this morning....this month has been tough, given two major events, both of which involved entertainment, dog kenneling, gift and hotel costs, plus the slight increase in the shopping bills whilst stocking up on wholefoods. Oh, and the random purchase of a pair of black, knee high leather boots. And the building work. And our dog needed an operation on his paw. And the washing machine flooded the whole utility cupboard twice, leaving the floor totally wrecked. Even given the insurance support, there is still a massive excess to pay and our insurance premium has risen. How dare they? They are basically re-charging for their services. Fiends.


Surprisingly I have managed all this and should be in the black and also able to pay for my professional teeth whitening treatment (part of my magic 100) by the start of next month. Marvellous. I am living quite cheaply outside of the shopping bills as I am not eating out at all. Nights in involve tasty, wholesome dishes, a roaring coal fire and a glass of water with bits of lime in it. I love it actually. I managed to socialise twice this week though and going out for teatime herbal tea with friends has been a refreshing change. Literally!!!!


So, what is on the special weekend menu today then??


Like I said, I started with a spinach, cherry tomato and bacon omlette and some summer fruits and goat's yoghurt


I will have my spirulina shake after I have done my IMT


I have some extra large king prawns marinating in rose harissa which I will serve hot with a salad of avocados, pine nuts and spinach for lunch.


Some peaches and goat's yogurt with toasted flaked almonds planned for my afternoon snack


And dinner.......well, dinner is going to be an extravagant combination of pan fried Gressingham Duck breast, butter beans in a black olive jus and spinach. I think that will be just lovely


Off to move my ass and other muscles. Going for a 2k hand weight this morning and last accompanied run through before I fly free, as it were, tomorrow.
