Damage limitation!

Well today was OK, not the best diet day I've ever had but by no means a disaster.

Boyfriend has gotten into this hobby called Geocaching where people hide lunch boxes full of tat all over the place, you get the GPS co-ordinates from the website and off you go and find it. Once there you log you were there and there's toys and travel tokens (to be taken to another cache) to make it a bit more interesting. However, boyfriend fails to realise that this is his hobby, not mine! Cue boyfriend 'making sure I'm up' at 9 am this morning to go out crashing through the woods to find another cache.

I would like to say I embraced this with good grace and took the walk in the woods for the beautiful, relaxing experience it would have been had I gone voluntarily but unfortunately, I'd been dragged out of bed on the last day of my week off and frog marched across country so I was grumpy and complained that my feet were wet. Looking back though, it was quite a pleasant walk, it got me out of the house and it burned off the toast I had for breakfast so bargain!

Lunch kind of became a mismatch of peanut butter cups, cheese and marshmallows. I know, not healthy or nutritional in anyway but I was still grumpy from being out and listening to boyfriend complain about the car so I indulged. Calories wise, probably about the same as a normal lunch.

Tea was spag bol which the boyfriend cooked and my mood had improved by then so I enjoyed it!

So in terms of calories, not great but not a total write off, I probably won't lose but I won't gain either. Nutritionally speaking it was horrid but I'm planning to go back to the GI thing tomorrow when I go back to work. It's always easier to control what I eat when I'm at work. mainly because I have set meal times and I can plan my food better but also because I'm kept occupied and I don't 'boredom' snack.

I also plan to go out for a run tomorrow as well! Fingers crossed it will work well!

I'll post to tell how it goes!

  1. You know what, my boyfriend told me about the cache thing too, and I'd never heard about it. I'd love to go try to find one soon... thanks for the reminder. Dan and I can go off on an adventure, maybe this weekend! <3
