Day 2: 4th June, Tuesday

4th June, Tuesday

Weather: Hot and Sunny, again!

Feeling: Tired/accomplished

As with yesterday, I thought it would be good to carry on with my "hard work", so I went down to Nan's and started on helping her clear her house.  It was a bigger job than I first imagined, I only managed to get through one section of her wardrobe and the coat cupboard she has.  There were so many shoes!!!!! I like shoes, I have a lot of shoes but this was beyond anything I had ever seen before.  What I found very good, though, was how Nan was so easy with the things I said to her,  I think she realised I was actually there to help her so she didn't seem to get irate about me going through her things.  But the most miraculous thing was how she seemed to value my opinion and didn't say anything when I told her what I thought about her clothes.  Going through Nan's shoes, I found out she had 14 pairs of slippers, 3 of which were the same!  I managed to persuade her to give a lot of her shoes to charity though so the outcome was fantastic.

Overall it's been a very good day, lots of things to give to charity, so it's helping people, which is nice to know :)  and I'm so proud of my Nan to start the process of sorting out her house, a small step at a time.

Losing Weight:

Breakfast: 2 Kiwi fruits

Lunch: Rice with mackerel in tomato sauce

Dinner: Macaroni cheese

Snacks: 1 pack of fizzers sweets.

I'm very pleased with my progress of eating today, I've managed to keep my portion sizes smaller which if I keep this up I should be able to lose my goal weight of 1 stone by the end of the summer, I'm hoping for more but if not I'll be happy with 1 stone.  I was exhausted when I came home after helping at my Nan's house, I think the high bran would have been better for a day like today as it would have filled me up for longer.  Drinking wise, I still didn't drink as much as I should have done, however, I wasn't in the sun so I don't have a headache, but I need to drink more water.  

In keeping with item 13 on my summer list (take a picture everyday) here is picture 2:

Tomorrow is my 21st birthday, so not really planning on doing much on my list.  Number 1 (to lose weight) will go completely out the window as my sister was cooking my cake this evening and it's basically a heart attack in cake form.  She made it at her house in Cardiff with her housemate and it looked phenomenal, so I asked her to make it again for my 21st and she agreed.  I will take pictures tomorrow and put them in my blog either tomorrow or Thursday.  I will try to write a blog tomorrow but I really don't know what's happening.  After tomorrow though it's back on with the diet and strict eating to lose weight. 

I'd love to hear about your plans for this summer so let me know by leaving me a comment on this post, or send me an email (sandra.spencelayh.92@gmail.com).  Also I'm open to suggestions, if there's anything you want me to write about or anything really then also leave a comment or send an email.

Keep on reading my blog for updates of my summer list.  Have fun!
