Pulled it back

I've had a pretty good day today. Did very little this morning, but sometimes you just need a bit of time to sit about, doing nowt. (Hey I'm a poet). We dropped Matt's Brother off at the station around 1pm and then headed to the gym. I did 35 minutes of swimming and 5 minutes of sitting on a float and kicking my legs furiously - which was fairly hard work. Fortunately I had the pool to myself so I didn't look too much of a nutter bobbing up and down in the pool, but not really getting anywhere. Finished off my 'workout' with a relax in the jacuzzi. Most pleasant.

After the gym Matt wanted to head to the cinema, so we grabbed a very quick lunch from M&S so as to avoid the perils of cinema food - hot dogs, nachos and chicken nuggets. Not the best ever. Matt has been half heartedly doing WW with me for the last couple of months and when we worked out his points for yesterday he came in at a staggering 94 (he's allowed 29!). So I guess my day yesterday could have been a hell of a lot worse. He's pulled a few points back today, so is now only facing a defecit of 97 for the week. Ahem.

We saw 2012 at the cinema - blimey, that has to be the longest film ever. 3 hours of my life gone. Not a bad film, but too much doom and gloom for my liking on a Sunday. I almost nodded off after 2 hours, I'm not so good at sitting still for that long. A lot of films these days seem to be telling us the end of the world is imminent... not the most cheerful sentiment.

So here is today's consumption. I'm pretty pleased that I've managed to pull back yesterday's defecit.
