Dear gym ...

Thank you for producing this whopping humungous year planner and giving them away ! (in February - but whatever!)

I've marked out the 12wbt period. I'm going to put the calories I burn in training every day on the calendar as an instant visual reminder of how I am tracking (and maybe a reminder to kick it up a notch!)

It appeals to the planner in me

Today is a good day!

Today I finally get some time at home! So besides doing some much neglected cleaning I have been getting ready ...

Making pumpkin soup and freezing it for those "emergency" meals (like getting called into work at NO notice)




Getting clever! (labelling it with Calorie count so I am ready at a glance)



And baking Mish's Banana bread to freeze for Miss E's lunches and guests. And no - I did not eat any even though it smelled soooooo goooooood.

Getting organized!

The #1 excuse people use when it comes to avoiding eating well and keeping fit is not being organized. Today I managed to tackle a job I have avoided for a long time.

We have a large upright freezer that we use for most frozen goods, but over time the smaller freezer had become a cluttered mish mash of bits and pieces. Today I got into it, and made it a space that will make my journey easier.







Not having time is now an excuse of the past. I have meals frozen, easy to see and quick to grab, frozen fish for a quick meal, berries to add to yogurt, or smoothies and frozen veggies as a quick addition to any meal. I also have pita breads frozen for quick mini pizzas for an easy lunch.

Feels much better!!

( next step ... The big freezer!)
