NoExcuses NoQuitting November

Monday 1st November 2021

New month, new day, new date, new chapter, new page, new wishes! Welcome November.

A new month starting on a Monday, I love that!  Oh and it's the last month of Autumn too, still time to turn over a new leaf if you've struggled this year with all things healthy!  

I'm hoping for a weight loss tomorrow, as always I've not been perfect but I'm better than before and I'm drinking a lot less red wine, had a very quiet weekend, lots of tv watched whilst resting up, we did indulge in a Double Big Mac yesterday and a strawberry milk shake, Alfie got a hamburger, he didn't eat the bun :) 

My washing machine no longer leaks but now the damn thing doesn't always turn on, there's some kind of power issue, one minute it'll turn on okay, the next it won't - why is nothing simple!  I've cleaned it all up too, it looks so much better than it did before.

This week the plan is, soup for lunch to get those veggies, I've bought some cereals so breakfast will be those most days, although I have one panini left which I'll have this morning, then if I do have any dinner, it'll be something light as I feel an early night coming on already because I've been up since 4am, as you do! 

Now the clocks have gone back and I'm not a fan of dark nights, it lowers peoples mood this time of year, so what can we do to keep us healthy and happy?  A multivitamin won't do you any harm, we get most of our Vitamin D from the sun so our intake decreases when the weather is colder since we spend most of our time indoors as I have this weekend, vitamin C is also good for the immune system, as it eating nutritious food (buy in season veggies) and drinking plenty of water.  

Autumn and Winter are natures way of telling us to slow down, so know it's okay to do just that, have some early nights, but at the same don't hibernate completely, make plans to do things, use some of your time to stay active, go for brisk warms, get some natural vitamin D.  You could also do some sorting and decluttering, you don't have to wait till spring to clean!

Take care of your skin, exfoliate and moisturise, it only takes minutes.  

It all sounds so easy doesn't it, but we get distracted, or poorly and all our good intentions go out the window, so remember to be gentle on yourself and do what you can, when you can. 

I'm going to get my work done this morning, so it's done out the way, I might take some chicken breast out the freezer and make a sweet and sour, that's easy to do, I have a jar in the cupboard!   Sorted!

Have a great day xx

Mwah, luv ya 

Love me
