New Year New Me.

So after the worst year, this horrible corona virus pandemic has had on us all, Im making myself a promise to get fitter and lose all this weight I put on during the first lockdown. I will force myself to go for a brisk walk every morning whilst i am forced into staying at home once again due to this third lockdown. I need to do it right this time and stick to my slimming world. I will plan my meals each week and cut out all the junk food, eat more chicken and more fish. I will fill at least a half of my plate with speed food and limit my carbs to a handful. 

Every morning as soon as I get up, breakfast will be yoghurt with fruit or poached, scrambled eggs on two slices of wholemal bread, or weetabix. I will do some yoga and strengthening excersice as well as core strengthening. after this a will go for a brisk walk and come home and shower. Lunch will be salads made with cous cous, brown rice or quinoa. 

Evening meals will be either chicken or fish with half a plate of speed food.

I am aiming to lose a stone by the end of January. I am sick of this fat around my belly and not feeling comfortable wearing anything other than leggings and jeans. 

So here's to a New Year and a New Me in 2021.

negativity

Why does a certain someone always say such negative things? 

new year, new me.

Starting off on a good note this evening. 

I have decided I will make more time for myself. I will go to the gym more than once a week and will go for a walk every day either before I have to go to work, speaking of work  I was supposed to be working today and was all  ready to leave  only to receive a missed call from my manager informing me that as it was not as busy as anticipated and that I had a few days holiday left for the year, I could have today as holiday! Yay me. 

I Am also going to lose 3 stones by the time my birthday comes round in april. I will also lose another stone before our holiday in june, going back to our beloved salou. This year will be better. 

Sorting out the spice rack

I've been meaning to sort out my spices rack for a while now. 

It's so frustrating when you've got a whole bunch of spices and you wanna make something but you dont have a clue which spice is which, especially when some of them look exactly the same!

So I picked up these cute little jar labels from the kitchen dept at work....

Theres 20 in a pack and they're self adhesive. Best get cracking. 

Much better. At least I can see my spices easily now!

Work Life Balance

I'm ranting today.

Not often I have a rant.

Either way, I wish I was still in salou. Been home nearly two weeks now. I'm just so much happier when I'm over there. If I could afford to live out there, or even move over there then I'd go in a heartbeat.
I'm happier when I can feel the sun on my skin and not having to worry about when my next shift is. Working 4 hours a week just doesn't bare thinking about.
