The fun is over, back to reality!!!

Yes, our kids finally went back to school and as sad as I am at least I have our 2 girls to play with during the day!!!!

We had heaps of fun these last couple of days from beach hopping, to movies, play dates and shopping in Melbourne!!! Oh how I love to shop in Melbourne!!!

Here was my dilemma over the weekend when we went to a good friends wedding on Saturday.....I needed to brighten up my black dress and add a splash of colour!!!! These were my options.




Which colour do you think I chose?


I love staying in hotels and especially waking up to the breakfast buffet!!!!!




I ate pretty clean, managed to fit in all my workouts however did binge on some "non" clean food these past few days. However today is a brand new day and as my girlfriend said, it was the school holidays so I had to indulge more frequently than usual.

I also have to remember that I AM on a 10 week FYM challenge, so I didn't want that to hinder my progress, success etc....never mind another 4 weeks to go so I'll ensure I am a bit more diligent than usual.

Workout 
Completed the workout from the Transformation Kit  and I don't know why but I am not a huge fan of the step ups!! Until I can get outside and do them properly on our bench, it's the sinking sensation I feel when I do it on our bed that annoys me. It's my only area to work out when it's wet and for the kids not to see me and jump around me!

PWOS
180 Nutrition coconut protein shake

Breakfast
Mixed berry porridge with a dollop of natural yogurt






Morning snack
Granola AKA muesli bars

Mietta and I had all of these ingredients that we pulled out of the pantry and what do you think we made???




I'll post the recipe tomorrow and the outcome of our bars as I am ready to jump into bed, literally!!!

Lunch
Salad sandwich

I was so happy that I got a sms from Celeste last night to go for a run as I managed to do a 3.8km "quick" run with a stitch again, which is totally annoying so I'll keep soldiering on!!! The run is in 22 days!! Gosh, that has gone quick!!!!

Afternoon snack
PWOS 180 Nutrition coconut protein shake
Feta basil dip with crackers and cucumber

Dinner
Mushroom bolognese sauce served with raw brocollini




Ahhhh yes as for my shoes, they were the Elvis "blue suede" shoes. They just looked fab with my fluorescent tangerine nail polish.

Here's a snapshot of the past few days......



Over and out beautiful peeps, until we meet again.

  2. I'm guessing you picked the blue shoes (OK I cheated and looking in the photos at the bottom of the post haha). I love the yellow ones though.

    I giggled hearing that you have to hide from the kids to workout lest they jump all over you. We've recently had to speak to our son about giving mummy some space when she exercises after I received an accidental whack in the face with a tennis racquet last week!

  3. Gorgeous dress and the blue was a perfect match. I love all the bright colours that are "in" this season.

    1. It's pretty much the same as my standard bolognese sauce babe, I just sautéed the onions, garlic and mushrooms together, add the mince, fresh herbs eg: oregano, basil, parsley (you can also use the dried ones) and then a couple of bay leaves and added the passata tomato sauces and paste. I typically grate carrots, zucchini's or whatever veggies I have in the fridge and let that brew for a few hours and whalla! Otherwise it's good to go when the mince and veggies are cooked!!! XxDani
