As some of my regular readers will know, back in November, I started Jillian Michaels 30 day shred daily workout. Basically there are three levels to this workout over thirty days. It's a half hour workout daily. Me and an online friend did it together and supported and encouraged each other, it was great! I also ate healthy, allowing myself one treat day a week. I lost 6lbs in 30 days, which in my opinion isn't too shabby at all.

Now, over the festive period, I really didn't do too well. I didn't have time to workout and I was just really stressed and had a lot going on in my personal life. However, I still did my usual walking (at least 2 miles a day) and stuck to eating healthy. Even over Christmas I didn't do too bad with my eating. I'm guessing I've gained a pound or maybe two back but that's ok because I will loose it again! Last night, I started the 30 day shred again. I really, really didn't want to do and thought to myself "Is my heart really in this?" For inspiration, I looked at some photos of me a couple of years ago and how slim I was! There was my inspiration. I got out my exercise mat and dumbbells, popped the workout DVD in and away I went! Half an hour soon flew by and I was quite surprised and how 'easy' it was. Well, easy compared to last time I started it that is. It's still hard but not as hard as I found it the first time around.

I'm also eating healthier again, lots of fresh fruit, veggies and no fatty or fried food! I got a smoothie maker for Christmas so I'll be putting that to good use, too! 

I don't want to share how much I do weigh but I'm 5ft3 and a size 14 top and between a 12 and 14 waste. I know that's not huge but I would like to fit back into my size 10 jeans. I have some really, really lovely clothes size 10 and 12, it would be nice to fit into them comfortably. I don't care how long it takes, I AM going to do this and with it being the start of a new year, now is the perfect time.

Phew! It's 2015 and I am wanting to try out some new recipes. Although, not this week because I am using up bits left over from Christmas. I've got a quite a bit left over and it will need using up before next week, which is when I'll be trying out new recipes. If you have an easy recipe you'd like to share, please do let me know :). I have also downloaded a shopping list app on my phone, which will really help me budget more. And not over spend or over buy. Most of us are guilty of this and while I don't do it often, it does happen. I think this is a great way to help with meal planning, too.


Monday - Sweet chilli chicken, potatoes and salad.

Tuesday - Chicken stew (slow cooker)

Wednesday - Cheese and potato pie with Sausages and peas.

Thursday - Spaghetti bolognase with garlic bread.

Friday - Pork curry with pilau rice and naan bread. (Slow cooker)

Saturday - Chicken nuggets, fries with spaghetti hoops.

Sunday - Toad in the hole with peas, carrots and mash potato, served with gravy.

What's on your meal plan this week?
