Make it happen, shock everyone.
I'm gutted, my backs hurting today so I'm scared to do my regular routine, instead though I've done a 30 minute yoga for a bad back so at least I've done something and if my back eases when I get back from the huddle this morning, I'll do something then, who knew I'd want to do exercise!

I went and did a huge shop yesterday, long lasting stuff that will last me a few months and I genuinely think pushing a heavy trolley hasn't helped my back - boo! At least I won't have to go again and to be honest, I don't like doing it so much now, I've got that used to shopping online, I can add things to the basket throughout the week when I think about it because I'm rubbish at doing a shopping list and I came back and had still forgot a couple of things lol. Plus you end up looking at things you don't really need but are tempted by, I was pretty good there though and resisted, only bought good food, resisted all the naughty stuff, quite proud of myself.
My indulgence was brie and bacon and some salami. I enjoyed brie and bacon on crumpets yesterday, there's 568 calories on that plate but it was worth it! I thought I had cranberry sauce but I didn't, I did have fig chutney stuff though and a spoonful of that was just as good.
Now why crumpets? Well the truth is, I bought the brie and bacon and hadn't thought about what I was going to put it on, I always buy Warburtons 400g wholemeal but that didn't seem right somehow. I then remembered that I'd bought a pack of 9 crumpets intending to freeze some, this is the problem with bread products they come in packs of 6, 9, 12 and there's only me! I can buy half dozen for the same price of 2 lose ones, it's frustrating, if I'd thought about it in the shop and there was the option of a single one, I would've paid extra but I forgot, glad I did because this was scrumptious and the crumpets didn't need any butter, they were great with the brie and what's not to love about grilled crispy streaky bacon!
Alfie was a nightmare once again for my sister, another reason I can't be bothered with going shopping! He refused to walk before I went shopping and again when I got back, he'd worn himself out barking after me, any suggestions gratefully accepted because he's got my sister there so it's not like he's alone and he knows here, he used to stay with her and mom before mom died, now he's just like a clingy monster!
Lack of dog walk meant I only clocked up 8,416 steps but that's better than some Fridays, we had a lazy afternoon, watching tele and an early night. Hopefully he'll walk today, but the forecast is dreadful isn't it. I could've put him in his pushchair and gone for a walk but I was honestly shattered after my shopping expedition, I had a bath instead, I enjoyed my lazy afternoon so much, caught up on Celebrity Masterchef, watched the final of cooking with the stars, did a bit of crochet and then watched a couple of Outlander, I think there's a few series of it so that's me sorted for a bit and I've had another recommended, 'This is Us', I vaguely recall trying it when mom was alive but after 5 minutes she kicked off so we turned it off.
Looking forward to this morning as always, Saturday's are always great, plus it's forecast rain so if you've not managed to get to a huddle this week, why not come spend a couple of hours with us, start your weekend off with a smile and some motivation.
Remember, however much you're struggling, be proud that you are even trying and if you aren't struggling, but flying BOOM keep flying and inspire the rest of us.
I bought weetabix yesterday too, finally after fancying them for weeks, again because a member talks about them every week lol, but my inner tight bird came out in the shop when I saw how much they cost, £2.80 for a box of 24, that's 12p a biscuit which I suppose now I'm writing it, that ain't that bad lol, but it's been that long since I've bought any, then I noticed Tesco home brand for 95p, that's 4p a biscuit and I bought them, I had a bowl for tea last night and I honestly couldn't tell the difference, so that's a swap I'm more than happy to make! I sound like an episode of Eat well for less, time for me to go get ready for work I reckon.
Here's to a great day, whatever you're up to this weekend, enjoy and be kind to yourself, be your own biggest supporter and take it one day at a time.
Mwah, luv ya
Love me x
