Huge thanks to everyone for their supportive comments earlier regarding operation fit into my goal dress-it's amazing how motivating it can be when you have something you want to fit back into! I spoke to the husband about it and asked him if he would take me out somewhere on NYE to wear it and he agreed - I can't wait to get some pictures of me back in it.I'm so excited about exercising again now which is such a great feeling.
I had a really fantastic day today - not only am I motivated again but I had 2 lots of goodies in the post! First was my 2nd Graze Box...
I also want to say a HUGE thank you to everyone that used my code - I what so surprised to see how many people signed up! I'm not going to be greedy and use all the £ 1 savings on future boxes but wants to donate like that half of them to charity too - because I'm nice:-D
My second surprise what a package of raw items from Goodness Direct. Long time readers will know I've been a big supporter of goodness direct and have reviewed products for them in the past. When they asked me if I would review some items for them, I didn't hesitate because they are so lovely to deal with.
In my package I received…
Raw, vegan dark chocolate with orange, a mango and brazil raw food bar, ready to eat figs and some natural dental powder - made from aubergine! I can't wait to try all of them and let you all know what I think. I nibbled a fig after my lunch and I was in heaven!
My lovely colleague was back work today following her last at holiday week and she bought me this cute little pixie charm…
She got one herself last year and said she hasn't struggled financially since she bought it and even had a windfall on the lottery! I'm hoping it brings me similar luck!
The book people came into work today and actually had decent things for a change!Most of the year they just bring crap but on the run up to Christmas they have some fab stuff.I got a really cute worktop saver and a cookbook full of slow cooker recipes…
And because I've not done a food post in a while, I will indulge you with my amazing food for today! Breakfast what a pancake stack with strawberries (which came from Holland - time to say goodbye to my strawberries * sobs *)...
Lunch was, erm, interesting!I bought these new ultra thin wraps by Dina, who make my favourite Khobez flatbreads. It's a HUGE thin sheet of bread that you fill and wrap.
I filled mine with tuna, cucumber and onion and attempted to roll it, only to end up tearing in hysterics as it kept.I managed it in the end though..
and I had my graze cracked black pepper cashews on the side - OH.MY.GOD - amazing!
Our third online food shop what delivered tonight and as much as I've always been against it in the past, I have to say I'm a convert!I never thought I would enjoy doing my food shopping online as I love to browse the store and see what's on special offer.However, our food bill was spiralling out of control (£ 132 a week!) so drastic action what needed.Now, I meal plan and only buy what we need and I have almost halved our food bill - result!
I had a Bullock squash left over from last week that needed to be used up so I made a butternut squash risotto.First time I've ever made it but I think it will be a favourite from now on…
Carbtastic!It certainly gave me buckets of energy for my body attack class this evening - I was on fire!My left knee is still niggling and I think it's because my trainers need replacing - the gel cushioning is practically non-existent now:-(I worked my arse off though and finished bright red the class and soaking wet…
And because I've put up to unflattering pic of myself, here is a purdy one to counterbalance it;)
I've been taking pictures of myself daily in my efforts to love myself more - I'm finding less and less to at and it's a really nice pick feeling.I took a picture this morning and I am really disappointed how blurry it came out as I think it's kinda cute…
Do you take pictures of yourself?I know some people probably think it's a bit vain but I really don't care — I'm working hard to love myself and it that makes people think I'm narcissistic, so be it!
I'm hoping to get back to the gym tomorrow for a weights session - the first one in a few weeks so expect some DOMS later this week!
Enjoy your evening folks:-)
