We've had a wonderful weekend, then I realise it's 12 weeks till Christmas (EEK!) that is some scary information! I'm almost at the end of week 4 of my 7 in 7 challenge, I think it's week 4 not 5, it's all going too quickly and I can't keep up!
It doesn't help that I can cook a damn good dinner (if I do say so myself!). As you know I treated myself to the new Ninja AF500UK and yesterday I decided to try and cook a joint of beef in it, normally I would've stressed over risking ruining a joint of beef but I'd had it at a damn good price from Stu and Dave Facebook and I'd had good recommendation on the cooking technique from a facebook group for this Ninja. WOW, I cooked it on the dehydrate setting for 6 hours as recommended, it's only 60 degrees so it cooked it low and slow, then at the end I put it on max and did 3 minutes each side. Oh my days, it was addictive, we kept sneaking in for a bit more, every time he got up I knew what he was up too! There's gravy left and I'm very tempted to make another dinner for today rather than freezing it.
The rest of the weekend was chilled, he didn't get back till Saturday afternoon, he'd had a long working week so we went to the pub for a few then had chippy. I had chips and curry sauce and a bit of his kebab. We were in bed early, although I don't know what time as my fitbit didn't record it, it keeps doing that, missing the odd night so I've chatted with them a few times over the last few months and they've agreed to replace it, I've got to send it back then they'll replace so I'm gonna be without one for a few weeks - I'll survive I'm sure.
Friday was my last Joint Pain Management session, now to continue working on building my strength myself. I've got a busy day today but I will make time for the gym as I'd have gone anyway usually.
I loved the huddle Saturday morning too, we talked about the types of food you eat at this time of year and it make me want pie all week, ooo I might have a roast dinner with a pastry lid today, Aryn can have the same or something else, his choice. I have potatoes that need using, that'll make mash or more roasters, I did them in the Ninja too but par boiled them first, they were lush. My yorkies were the cheap ones from Aldi, they were good too, I couldn't bring myself to pay the price of a giant one in Sainsburys, when you compare the per kg price, they wanted £1.80 for a Aunt Bessie giant one which is £14.40 per kg whereas the Aldi everyday essential ones are only £2kg the Sainsbury's basic ones are a similar price. The ingredients are the same whatever the size of the yorkie ain't they!
We then had beef sandwiches for tea as well so my Sunday tracking went out the window, back on it today though.
We watched a few episodes of the new series of Brassic, it didn't disappoint, I just love Joe Gilgun and all of the characters in that show to be honest, it's just genius comedy.
Now to decide what to chat about in this weeks huddle, drop my car off in Cannock at 9, get a taxi back, appointment at 12, and fit the gym in somewhere - yay gotta love a relaxed Monday NOT!
I better get on with it then hadn't I! The kitchens a mess too, all those plates from dinner and tea last night, I ignored and left and am now wishing maybe I hadn't. Ah well, it's all good, need to wash the sofa covers too, let's do this!
Here's to a cracking good day, I got this!
Have a great day,
Mwah, luv ya
Love me x
