A quiet Sunday

It’s been a pretty quiet week this week. I’ve done reasonably well on my nutrition, although starting a new job has required some re-adjustments to my schedule, and am doing OK on exercise. One of my forum friends (Hi, Chrystin) is getting a Wii this week, and it reminded me that ours has been sitting under our coffee table for longer than I cared to remember. Unfortunately, when I turned it on, the damn thing reminded me. The Wii Fit KNOWS. It is omniscient. 91 days exactly since I last stood on my balance board! I don’t know why – it was so fun. I’d forgotten how good it was. So I did 30 minutes of Wii aerobics (boxing, step, hula and jogging) on one of my off days and worked up a bit of a sweat. I must try and use it more often. Apparently they’re bringing out a WiiFit Plus later this year with more games and improved motion sensing, so that should be good.

Have a friend coming over for lunch today. We’re going to have a selection of salads – melon, prawn and avocado; carrot and ginger; mixed bean and artichoke hearts – and hubby is going to make those wonderful IHOP harvest grain and nut pancakes for dessert. We have some fresh strawberries and a selection of frozen fruits to go with them.

On the nutrition front, went supermarket shopping yesterday. They didn’t have any groundnut (peanut) oil, which I have been using as a good source of vitamin E. But they did have rice bran oil, and it said on the label that it was high in E so I bought it. Turns out it has double the amount in groundnut oil – 22% of the RDI in one tablespoon. So I’ll be using that from now on in my salad dressings.

Official blog weigh in today. Despite it being TTOM for me, and my body fat being all over the place as a result, I still managed to come it at one pound and 0.2% body fat down on last Sunday’s weigh in, so happy with that.
