Day 84 - Housewife
Don't you just love chores? Once one is done, another three appear!
Last night I spent my evening catching up on all house related chores, cleaning the bathroom, kitchen, hoovering, even cleaning out our cutlery draw. I don't understand how things can get so messy! So I managed to get those jobs done, but I have come home from work today and looked around and found atleast four if not five more jobs to do! Urgh, when will it ever end?!
I try to assign different chores for different days, to make it feel less daunting when they need doing, but then on the other hand it always feels like I am cleaning something! What routine do you go by, all at once, or piece by piece? Let me know any tips you have too, I'm always on the look out for some new cleaning tips!
As I had some many chores to catch up on aswell as cooking tea and fitting in a little down time, I didn't do any exercise. Well, if you don't count scrubbing the bathroom within an inch of its life then I didn't!
We then had a burger each for tea, no bread!, with salad and corn on the cob. Very tasty, and pretty healthy! I also made a little homemade coleslaw to go with my tea, and I have to say it was delicious!
All I did was chop up a little white cabbage, grate a carrot and chop up one spring onion and then mixed in some light mayonnaise. I didn't have any Dijon mustard otherwise that would've gone in too, but it was tasty all the same!
Hope your all having a fab week.

Day 83 - Keep on Walking...
This walking malarkey is pretty good fun!
After a stressful day in the office there is nothing better than getting those trainers on and pounding the pavement. I find it so destressing to go for a 45 minute fast walk and just forget about the day!
Food was good today, I ate porridge and blueberries again for breakfast. I am really enjoying this for breakfast now (finally managed to break the Special K habit!), and it is keeping me full for atleast 3 hours, an achievement in my books!
Lunch was leftover vegetable curry, YUM!
And dinner was spaghetti bolognese, double YUM!
Sorry for the short post again guys, promise I will be back to normal soon!

Day 82 - Food for Thought
Today started well...
This kept me full for well over four hours! That is a huge achievement for my stomach to stay full for that long!
My lunch consisited of broccoli and cheese pasta, a ready made packet but relatively healthy.
And I finished the day with this...
Delicious!
We made enough for me to have the leftovers for my lunch tomorrow, which I can't wait to eat already!
Before we had tea we went for a 30minute walk, which we jogged a couple of minutes of. It was good to get back out and moving again. It was very muggy outside aswell, so the 30 minutes walk felt like twice as long, and we looked very red and sweaty from it afterwards!
I will be going on another walk tomorrow, and doing my abs workout. I am feeling very motivated and eager to reach this weeks targets!
Hope you have all had a great start to the week!

Day 81 - Floral Fun
Wow, 80 days in! Only 285 days til I make that big step and walk down the aisle. Not long to go now! We have had a very 'wedding' weekend, what with visiting the florist and trying suits on. We still have a long way to go (heck, my dress is get to be ordered!) but we are making slow progress, and enjoying the journey along the way!
Before we went to see the florist I decided to catch some of the summer rays. Sometimes there is nothing better than sitting in the sunshine!
After seeing the florist and doing our food shop for the week, we then went onto ANOTHER BBQ, with friends. It was lovely to see them, and their children. Luckily my friend had prepared gorgeous salads and so I devoured most of them, and had a little bit of chicken to go with it. Delish!
We ended the day watching the Olympics Closing Ceremony (sob), and even though I had to be up for 7am this morning for work I did not allow myself to miss a second of the ceremony, so it was quite a late one! We did have a little visitor who came to stay for the Closing Ceremony...
