Enjoy the weekend

Saturday 28th August 2021

Take time to do what makes your soul happy.

Yesterday I relaxed all afternoon and it was lovely, I indulged a little too, enjoyed this fish dinner, then had some almonds as a treat. 

Sweet potato fries are better than I expected, the meal cost me 625 calories and it was worth it, as was the little pizza I enjoyed at teatime for 507 calories.  I went over my calories for the day which I'm okay with, I did hit my 30g fibre, there was 16.1g in that dinner above and the almonds had another 6g.  

What I also did was a 40 minute workout, I did my regular 30 minute one, which I didn't fancy doing when I started I won't lie, but then by the end of the 30 minutes I felt like I had a bit more in me, I was just going to carry on doing similar moves to what we'd been doing but I'd remembered seeing a ten minute one when I was looking through, so did that. 

This was the 10 minute one, I'd done the 30 minute one before, I do love Body Project, this one shows how lovely their relationship is, I bet she has the patience of a saint 3 kids and him, which means she's got 4 kids I reckon ;), he is very motivational though. 

Two weeks of doing 30 minutes a day, I'm pleased with my progress, I will my knee didn't struggle but that's the beauty of getting older, you get to endure pain and are privileged to live long enough to witness your body wearing out a bit at a time.  I'm taking care of it now by moving it and feeding it good food so hopefully it's got a good few years left in it.

I had a chat to a lovely reporter yesterday from the Express and Star, she asked if we had plans to expand, we have talked about maybe another but Elle and I both agreed at the beginning, we want and need a work / life balance, we love doing Be Happy Owls but we also love our lives.  I like relaxing, I enjoy sitting watching tele, or sitting in the garden listening to an audio book or reading a magazine, because it's been such a long time since I could do it whilst I was taking care of mom, yes I could sit by her and watch tele but it wasn't anything I wanted to watch, I don't care if I ever watch another Tipping Point again in my life!  

I'm binge watching 'This is Us', it's a little addictive, that's my Bank Holiday weekend sorted, although it's forecast sunshine so I'll get in the garden too, can't miss the bit of sun we are getting, there's loads of weeding to do still at the front and a lovely comfy chair on the decking for me to relax in.

Oh I've just remembered there's a thing at Essington today we're going to after the huddle this morning, I'm not sure what's going to be there and I can't find anything on Facebook but I'm going anyway lol. 

For now I'm going to make me another cuppa because I really enjoyed the one I just drank, here's to a great day, make sure it is one. 

Mwah, luv ya 

Love me
