  • A good day off.

    I woke up this morning after having a sleep in until 11am and I finally got myself motivated to do my washing and hang it out on the line. Most of the time when I do my washing I tend to leave it to the last minute then suddenly realise “oh, I better do my…

  • End of the week.

    End of the week and the start of a new one. I have to admit, I am looking forward to going on a holiday in 4 months time and then over Christmas I’ll take off the week but I’ll return before New Years as I’d prefer keeping some annual leave up my sleeve in case…

  • One more day to go.

    One more day to go and I’m finished for the week. Today was pretty busy but because we’ve been able to keep up with the work over the past few days. Finished tonight at 10pm and I walked down to the service station to pick up a couple of sandwiches for a snack. There is…

  • The house is starting to come together.

    The duvet cover that I washed was dry by night time tonight so I put it all together with the duvet and made the bed in the spare room: The duvet adds some colour to the room which goes well with the pillows and cushions that I’ve put behind the pillows. I’m currently having a…

  • Productive day, cold evening.

    It was a busy day today but productive – it is good when you have had a busy day but at the end of it you can look back and see it was productive rather mindless monotony. I had dinner tonight – homemade tacos with plenty of salad and I’ve been watching the final episode…

  • A good first day back at home.

    I decided that combining two lifestyle changes into a single week would be a bit difficult so my focus this week is getting my diet back on track and go for a walk after work. The first day of the week and my goal is to get through the week and then focus on the…

  • Back to work on Wednesday.

    I had a great day to day – just lazing around the house, doing the usual chores, put the wheelie bins out for pick up on Wednesday and enjoyed a vegetarian Mexican chilli with some buttered toast. The weather was looking good tonight so I decided that if I am going to get back into…

  • A good start to the weekend.

    I had a good sleep in today and when I woke up I found the weather was once again pretty foul weather with it being grey and overcast. I checked my Ikea order out of curiosity and it appears that I had screwed up my order but thankfully I was able to get get the…

  • The end of another week.

    Woke up this morning and had my usual breakfast – almost finished my second container of yoghurt but now that I know what a good combination of the chia seed pudding with the yoghurt is for breakfast. I did order some groceries online tonight because I really wanted a roast lamb dinner with roast vegetables…

  • One more day to go.

    I woke up this morning, still a bit overcast and cold outside but I started the day with chia seed pudding (chia seeds soaked in ‘Up and Go’ protein shake) and 190g of high protein yoghurt on top. I’ve been having that consistently for almost a month and the great thing is with it is…
