  • A New Year!

    A New Year!

    That’s going to be my 2017 in a nutshell. I’m taking it a little bit at a time to manage my goals. I’ve mapped out January and February in terms of exercise: Insanity Max:30 (thanks to Hubby for the Christmas gift!) should take care of most of my exercise (and help me get into my…

  • The Day in Pictures

    The Day in Pictures

    I’m thankful that I have some pretty amazing bosses and I have the flexibility to not only work 10-6 instead of 9-5 but that since the house move and my commute being tripled, I’m able to work from home one day a week. Usually I’m home on Tuesdays, unless I need to be home another…

  • Happy Autumn!

    I love a good bank holiday weekend. Life has gotten pretty busy the last month and this past weekend was one of two weekends we have free until November 7th. Crazy! I personally revelled in having no plans. We were possibly going to see friends but they weren’t feeling great which meant we had absolutely no plans…

  • Preppin’

    Yesterday we had family friends over to see the new digs and, thankfully, the weather held out long enough to have a BBQ and sit outside for a bit. Today is the first Sunday we have had free for a while so I took the opportunity to do food prep for the week. I’m in…

  • Lahndahn, baby!

    If you read the previous post then you know last week was my 10th wedding anniversary and I have the best husband (and friends) in the world. After the madness that was last week and the whole present situation (which I’m still shocked by, for real though) we spent the weekend in London, just the…

  • Mindful Progression

    The past couple of weeks have gone quick haven’t they? It’s nearly November?! Sheesh. At the start of this month right after returning from holiday I got a nasty stomach bug. I haven’t had one for years. It’s pretty scary sometimes when you just can’t stop being sick, but thankfully it didn’t last longer than…

  • Back to reality (AKA I don’t wanna)

    After arriving home yesterday afternoon I’ve been in a bit of denial at my holiday being over. I had a nap, being awake since 5am (4am UK time) doesn’t do me any good, and the one thing we managed to accomplish is buying food. After a proper night’s sleep (finally!) we wandered out for our…

  • Final Preparations

    This weekend I had no plans for what felt like the first time in months. In reality it’s only been about 3 weeks, but they’ve been a busy few weeks! With nothing planned I was able to take time on Saturday to tidy the house and relax a bit. Something about having all the clean…

  • I’ll be back

    Last week I got knocked down by a nasty cold while at Chevron 8.1 (a post on that coming soon!) and that meant my training had to be pushed back until I felt better. June is rapidly approaching – is it really mid-April already?! – so I can’t procrastinate any longer. Thankfully I’m feeling better…
