Training in the afternoon

I made the decision last night to not go to the gym this morning and to go after work as I have a sore throat and my chest is a bit tight. So I turned up at the gym and I felt really weird. a) because I haven’t been at that time of day in a very long time and b) because I didn’t know anyone else training. It was a little bit confronting because I was embarrassed about the way I look at the gym all over again. I didn’t have to be of course as no one was paying any attention to me but I felt like they were. Silly silly. Just to be on the safe side I will go back in the morning and just wear a scarf so my throat doesn’t get cold! :)

The plus side of exercising in the afternoon has been that I have had more energy in the early evening! I haven’t been eating properly lately. It hasn’t been bad food as such just not much variety. One of the keys to eating healthy is to be organised. For me if I don’t go to the Fresh Food markets then my meals during the week are not as good as they could be. In place of fresh fruit and vegetables I eat frozen vegies and no fruit at all. I don’t replace them with junk food I just eat less and don’t have a well balanced diet. Anyway with my new found energy this afternoon I stocked up with all things nutritious and as we speak I have some marinated chicken simmering in the pan for the wrap that I am having for lunch tomorrow.

This eating and losing weight caper never stops does it? It is bloody hard work too.

And Shell I really hate to say it, but once you've reached the healthy desirable weight, it's "bloody hard work" maintaining it!!! I have people saying to me so often "oh you're so slim and trim" and I would just love to say to them "if only you knew just how hard it is to stay that way"!! But when you know your genes could serve up the meanest dose of diabetes, cardiovascular disease (double serve of that one) and goodness knows what else, you know that every bit of the hard work is absolutely worth the effort.
Hope you enjoy the marinated chicken :-)

Hello Shell

Would you post the recipe for the marinated chicken. I am so sick of grilled chicken without anything on it.

Thanks and keep up the good work
