I went to house sit for my daughter. She moved house on Monday and the only day she could get her broadband reconnected was Wednesday but she had an important meeting at work that day. It took me nearly 2 hours to drive there (and the same coming home in the evening) so that immediately reduced my activity level for the day. When I got there, I obviously couldn’t go out for a walk or anything until the engineer had arrived and done the job. Soon after he left, she came home and we sat chatting for a while. My boyfriend was with me and we stopped on the way home for a meal in a pub. So, all in all a very sedentary day.
I did do about 15 mins workout in the morning because I knew I would be spending time sitting in the car. But when I got home my step count for the day was scarcely 6,000 and I usually aim for 12,000. So I did a walking workout for about 20 mins and got my steps up to over 8,000.
Luckily (!) the pub meal wasn’t very good. I chose a simple fish meal and only ate half the potatoes, so it didn’t exceed my calorie allowance. (I took my own lunch). My food for the day was sorely lacking in freggies but I had a big bowl of fruit salad after I got home (easy to skip dessert in the pub).
