    Weekly Update 10 – Days off

    I was back at work this week, boooo. But it was only a short week as it was bank holiday Monday and then I was off again on Friday. I tried in vain to book a last-minute glamping break, but I just couldn’t get anything in my (low) budget. So it was day trips and chill out time again. So here is weekly Update 10! Friday We decided to go to the seaside, after having a quick look we decided to go to Cleethorpes. I know, not the most exotic of locations, but it was only an hour and three quarters away. Just me Eddie, Chloe and Luna went. One…

    Weekly Update No 4

    Welcome to weekly update No 4! This week has been such a mix, cold and rainy for part of the week; but as I write this post its scorchio!! Tom has broken up from college and Chloe broke up from Uni a while ago, so there’s just Ewan to go and I don’t think he can wait. I am really struggling with my diet at the moment – a number of reasons really, but I just can’t seem to find the focus. So I am back to feeling fat and unfit. I started doing the Lift 4 Beachbody workout, but I’ve had a few problems with my shoulder so have…

On Tuesday I went to the running club for a reccie of the new cross country route and as it has been raining (a lot!) it was like doing proper cross country. The weekend has been a busy one too – hence the late upload (sorry!!) Friday night we were invited along to the pub by my sister who is ending her year as a president for the Ilkeston Rotary Club. (The Rotary Club are a volunteer association that do good work for charity). It was a small…

    Weekly Update No 2

    Slightly later than I intended, but here I am again with weekly update No 2 post. Haven’t read the previous one? Find it here Happy Fathers day! I got Eddie one of these and it was a big hit Its a beer sub , so you can pour draught beer at home. Safe to say I have scored brownie points this year 🙂 I got my dad some vests and a bottle of wine – he is 85 and hard to buy for as he has no hobbies and doesn’t go out a lot. We got my Father in Law a Sherlock Holmes coin for his coin collection. This Week…

    My week – general chit-chat update – 29 September 18

    I am in the middle of doing a few blog posts. All are unfinished……I have been in the middle of a really busy/stressful time at work, especially this week. So that has had to be the focus. Just shows that I am still struggling to get the work-life balance I wrote about previously! So I am afraid I am doing just another chatty post…..hope you don’t mind! A proper goals update post will happen soon, but this week in between working I have been mostly food prepping and planning!!  Saturday Last weekend I spent a lot of time looking on YouTube and Pinterest for inspiration for Weight watchers meal plans and recipes. …
