Scary stuff weighing things out. I poured a huge bowl of museli today and then decided I'd weight it. Just abouts 100g - twice the recommended serving of museli and would have given me over 460 calories without milk!
Needless to say I put half back and had a respectable amount.
I weighed ten chewy drumsticks yesterday and they were 130g
100g of them is 400 calories so 13g (one sweet) is 52 calories.
Why they can't publish the figure on the packet I don't know. Oh hang on, but I do! You would be put off eating them if you knew that a sweet that lasts about 2 minutes has so many calories in it.

Exercise more exercise
I only managed 20 minutes the last two days but I have been out for a walk both days.
It's hard work exercising every day and you need to do something thats
(a) very easy
(b) convenient
(c) enjoyable
A neighbour was telling me all their exercise equipment folds up and stores away (Or has clothes hung on it!) and this is part of the problem - that we do fold away exercise equipment and that makes it more effort to do exercise.
My cross trainer and trampoline are left out in my study all the time. If I had to drag chairs about to put them out I'd just not bother.
So when you plan your exercise routine - find something that is easy to sort out. If you like to shop every day, then work out how far the local shop is and walk a bit faster there and round. That way you might be able to do chored and exercise too!

Parties bad for diet
No! It's people eating and drinking too much that's bad for parties.
Was out yesterday at a party. Lots of fun and food. And drink! Some lovely pear cider and wine.

Sore knee
I'm not happy. I've got a sore knee still. It's just not sorting itself out right so I suspect a visit to the docs is going to take place sometime next week. Perhaps I need to strap it up and just not move? We had a walk yesterday, not far but I knew my knee would kill if we went on the bikes.
I want to take more exercise but my knee just isn't up to it. It's not fair.
I've been sticking to the diet just abouts though so that should mean at least I don't put on weight.

knee sore
So didn't do any exercise yesterday. Hoping it'll be ok tonight though.
Weighed myself on Tuesday -lost 2lb!
Woohoo.
Am worried not being able to exercise is going to depress me and make me scoff some food I shouldn't be eating.
