That naughty D-Word....

I just did 6 .... SIX .... full Turkish Get Ups!!! WHAT!?! Husband said, "Just try it." and I did .... and then I did it again on the other side .... and then I did two more sets ..... SIX all up! So the 10 Turkish Get Ups by December .... pft!! Give me another fortnight ;)


Sorry, that's not what I came on here tonight to share with whichever lovely people who might read my little blog. Think I've got some post workout adrenaline sillies pumping through my body!!


So I just found something really exciting today (it's diet stuff, so if that's not an appealing subject, tune out :D)..... I joined up to The Biggest Loser Club about 3 or 4 months ago now and kinda followed it for a couple of weeks and it dwindled off due to very legitimate reasons (I LOVE FOOD!!) but in saying that I really love the theory behind the "diet" (I hate that word), it's common sense and stuff we all know about losing weight, except it puts it into a really easy plan to follow, a food diary to keep you accountable and educate you on how to make healthy lifestyle changes. So I've spent the last 3 or 4 months eating like it was "the week before the diet starts" and, well, this week has been no different.

Week 1 - Winter Detox Meal Plan 

But it's okay guys, I've got a plan!! So I was exploring the Biggest Loser Club website today and the exciting thing I found was, there are a few different eating plans you could choose from and there was one that fit me perfectly!! It's called the "Winter Detox" and it's more "healthy" food, which I'm really into instead of "diet" foods which I'm not so into. That was my only hang up with the previous plan I was doing, all the, diet yogurt, fat free salad dressing, low fat cheese, skinny latte's.... you get the point! I'd rather find a healthy alternative instead of buying low fat/fat free/skinny/filled with unnamed chemicals but with the Winter Detox they seem to explore the realms of "health foods". And the food sounds yummy! So again I'm excited to dive into it and I'm going to do everything in my power to make it easier for myself.......

Meal Plan for Matt & the kids.

 So I have my eating plan, I've set out husband & kids meal plans, I have my shopping list all written out and tomorrow after doing the groceries, I WILL portion all of my food into sandwich/snack bags so all my meals and snacks are ready to just be chucked together! I also plan to cook as many of the families meals as I can tomorrow so I don't have to face that overwhelming, "It's 4.30 .... what will I cook for dinner!?!" So that's how I'm gonna deal with this week, stay excited, stay organised and try to enjoy it (as much as I just enjoyed a pack of kettle, sweet potato and beetroot chips, and my 72% Dark Ghana Chocolate!!).


So that's it from me for tonight! I wanted to share some toddler activities that I found in a book, but maybe I'll save that for next week :D


Oh and on a side note, husband's Vibram Five Fingers arrived today! I made him model them for me so I could take a picture for my blog... lol ... he's pretty happy with them, considering how cheap he got them and the fact they came from China, he assumed they'd be fakes but after a pretty close inspection, we're pretty sure they're real! Score!

Very excited husband! He's been waiting for weeks for them to arrive! 

Can't wait to order my Vivo EVO's ..... maybe tomorrow ..... Nighty Night all :) x
