Tonight is just proof I need to organise myself better.
I had planned to leave work at 3.30pm (these plans NEVER happen...phone calls and other issues to sort out AND my car got blocked in grr) but I wanted to stick to my plans for when I got home.
So I kicked Dad off the computer and logged in to the 12WBT, ready for Mish's first workout video - it was great! I was pleasantly surprised with how much I got out of it - and to my delight and horror Dad also got into it too!
He's got bad knees, had both reconstructed, but he still tries to walk - he just eats too much and won't control his portions.
So it was great to see him bopping along to Mish and the girls, and having the option to do the beginner moves, while I was working on the intermediate and sometimes advanced moves. It really got my blood pumping and sweat going strong!
After that it was my turn to cook dinner, Mish's Penang Chicken. It was a really simple dish that tasted great with the mix of red curry, coconut milk and peanut butter, but all natural and home made. I had mine with steamed broccoli and sugar snap peas, mum and dad had veggies but also on rice, and I even had enough for lunch tomorrow!
What I didn't plan was having enough time to cook tomorrow night's dinner...after dinner tonight I had a meeting to attend so I didn't get a chance. I have to leave straight from work to the meeting tomorrow so I should have had it ready to take with me in the morning...my great dilemma and how to deal with it? Choose a healthy option I can put together quickly in the morning and take with me and organise next week better!
I am hoping that by default both mum and dad will get something out of me doing the program, but so far I have been enjoying the challenges and the change for a better, healthier life.
