Day off formal exercise

Sunday I woke up feeling quite apathetic.  Didn't go for a run in the morning with Mr TOTKat (who was lovely and brought me breakfast in bed when he got back from his run xxx) and didn't go to see Prince of Persia at the cinema either.  I stayed at home and vaccumed like a demon instead.  Which was good and I like having really clean carpets, though I'm not so keen on how you get them that way ;o)

Earned a few kcals though as I really go at it hard.  Wore my HRM and got a nice 205kcals after background deductions for vacuuming the whole house.  Good for a glass of wine or two.

B - greek yogurt with Dorset Cereals muesli mixed in and a tiny bit of Bonne Maman apricot compote for sweetness
L - spiced butternut squash soup and a toasted Waitrose wholemeal pitta
*vacuuming*
S -Tim's Dairy cherry wholemilk yogurt
S - Dr Karg cheese and pumpkin seed crisp-bread with cottage cheese and Marmite
S -MP Max beef jerky
D - goat vindaloo and rice
oops - lots of wine

Exercise - 45 minutes vacuuming

OMG! Vacuuming!

I knew I did it pretty vigorously, I get really hot, break quite a sweat and get achey back and core, but... 415kcals for 49 minutes of it!

I decided to wear my HRM and find out just how much I get out of vacuuming and was amazed to see 415kcals after pretty much 50 minutes of scrubbing at the cat-hair encrusted carpets. And that was after a 708kcal cardio gym session earlier today. Not bad really.

Late getting up after very early to bed meant 12 hours sleep(!) and no morning snack today...

B - toasted onion bagel with Marmite and a poached egg
*gym*
S - 1 scoop chocolate in semi-skimmed milk
L - toasted ham, stilton and tomato sandwich on wholemeal granary bread
S - an apple
S - toasted slice of banana, walnut and raisin malt loaf
D - roast chicken, potatoes, carrots and broccoli with wine
S - little bit of dark chocolate

Exercise - 71 minutes cardio plus core, and 50 minutes hardcore vacuuming
