  • New Year’s Resolutions, Goals, Plans or Dreams?

    18th January 2017 /

    I don’t know about you but I stopped making New Year Resolution’s when I was a teenager. I mean really, who has kept to the ‘I must lose weight’ statement anyway? For years I never made a bold statement or even make any plans for the future. I lived for the moment and that was fine by me at that time. For as long as I can remember I’ve wrote in a diary or journal about what is happening in my life at that given moment: who I love; who I don’t love; what events I’ve been to; and any juicy gossip I’ve heard. Nowadays I tend to write my…

Lunch today was an overload of fruit and veg. Son Lunch today was an overload of fruit and veg.

Son made a mango, grape and strawberry smoothie with our new juicer (thanks @the_only_terezka for picking it up for me).

Then I did an avocado and feta cheese salad with mayo and hot sauce on top. yum ๐Ÿ˜‹

After 9mths off the road and most of that time on stilts with no wheels on, no prop shaft and holes in its sills, the old girl has been welded, put back together with new parts, she has finally PASSED her MOT.

Thank God for that...she will be needed in winter, where we live ๐Ÿคฃ

Now, we need to pull the caravan out and see if she still stands. Your services may be needed @moawkati with that one ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿคฆโ€โ™€๏ธ

Following a recent blood test, I am now classed as Following a recent blood test, I am now classed as having HIGH cholesterol.

I don't know yet if this has anything to do with the abnormality of my optic nerve as my referral to the hospital has been put off for two months due to COVID. So whatever tests I'm due to have will not be happening until at least September.

One thing is for certain though and that is that at 40 years old, I finally need to look at my lifestyle in order to keep the family hereditary heart disease at bay.

Two weeks ago, I was in the process of swapping to a KETO diet, which works on the basis of no (or low) carbs and high fats. 

For now at least, I will have to rehash my diet to be low carbs and low fat in order to reduce my cholesterol level to below 5 (it's currently 7). 

Another area of change has to be my exercise. I have gone from being very active (looking after my horse) to not active at all. So I looked up a yoga routine for beginners on YOUTUBE and started to do that every morning, and today, I went for a brisk walk/jog with daughter down the lane which we intend on keeping up.

Its tiny steps in comparison to what some people do, but I know my commitment and discipline to things like this in the past has been rubbish and I get overwhelmed and stop but being as it has to be a lifestyle change (more than a quick fix to lose weight) I have to enjoy every step and not push too hard.

In an ideal world I'd love to lose 2st. I'm not sure if losing this much would suit me as I've always been curvy, but to have a toned body again would be nice and at the very least lowering my cholesterol is the MAIN GOAL here.

My other alternative is to take medication in the form of statins all my life, and to be honest at 40, I feel too young to be relying on the NHS just yet.

I've taken before and after pictures of myself, but I'm far too embarrassed to bare all on social media, so I'll spare you that image but I'm happy to tell my story. You never know, someone here may be experiencing the same.

I tell You what though, it comes to something when I leave it till the health of my heart is in jeopardy to get fit and eat clean.

End of an Era for my boy. He officially leaves Pr End of an Era for my boy.

He officially leaves Primary school as of this week and starts High School in September.

Who would have thought the clingy little boy we dropped off at nursery all those years ago would become the confident young man (sometimes a little too confident) who is looking forward to his next stage of schooling, especially computer club and all the sports he will be able to do, both in and after school. โšฝ๏ธ๐Ÿˆ๐Ÿ๐ŸŽพ๐ŸŒ๏ธโ€โ™‚๏ธ๐Ÿ€โ›ท

Apparently, he's going to be a computer programmer and a professional gamer with his own Youtube channel ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ™ˆ

We'll see what he says in a years time lol ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿคฏ
