Well today started okay, took the daughter to basketball, went home and prepared for a picnic at the Botanic Gardens. We had a bit of a walk, although not too long cause I promised the kids I'd take them for a bike ride to the shop. Well... my daughter's bike has a very flat tyre, and I have no idea where a pump is! (Although I'm sure we had one... I haven't seen it since we moved...) anyway, I tried to get her to take her brother's old bike, but she struggled down the hill. I waited at the bottom, and put my foot on the ground which was, unfortunately near an anthill... Of course, I didn't notice the "visitor" that got in my shoe. I rode around the corner to yell at the boys to and YEEEOUCH! Out scrambled the visitor... a bullant...(at first I thought I had a prickle in my foot) So now I am sitting here with my sore foot resting on an icepack. I didn't think an ant sting would hurt so much! But right now it's throbbing quite a bit... so NO RIDE! I may drive when the throbbing eases somewhat. I'm not sure what to put on the sting...
Anyway, eating was GOOD. I had my smoothie for breakfast and for lunch a couple of apricots, an apple and a few dates. Hopefully my good eating for the week (well mostly good) will pay off and I'll have lost more weight!
Hmm well I realised one thing that makes it hard to be vegan... The smell of chicken pieces cooking is SOOO GOOOOD! But I didn't eat any ;) I just found something that I thought I would miss. Hmm and McDonald's cheeseburgers (don't even ASK me why!). I mean, there were other meat things I enjoyed as well...I think it was just because I was thinking about them.
(OH GOD my daughter just dropped a plate of chicken in a drawer... sigh... why don't they let ME put stuff away??!!)
Anyway, I coped quite admirably. When my tummy rumbled too much I ate a couple of dates (dates are a great snackish standby) and I had a vegie burger plus some zucchini plus a green smoothie (which I'm still eating). The zucchini was a gift from my sons' friend's parents and none of my kids will touch it, so I am eating it!
Well I ended up going on a very short ride! The kids went out to sell raffle tickets (I was always too shy to do that as a kid) and it was getting dark (it gets dark earlier these days!!) so I went on the bike to look for them... as it was I didn't have far to go, but getting back up the court usually requires a bit of puff!
