Lifestyle Overhaul - Stepping Away from the Bakery Case

I love tea ! It's one of my favorite things to drink
For as long as i have loved tea, i have also loved biscuits ! My grandma always said 'there are not alot of things that a cup of tea and a biscuit can't fix', and really was a truer word even spoken ? 

Too many of these !

Lifestyle Goals - Update

Hello !!

So the past 12 days have been full on :)








I've tried to incorporate alot of healthy changes into my life, of all the goals i set myself, i've managed to fulfill 3 so far. See Below:


Goals
1,200 calories, each day
10,000 steps, each day
2L of water, each day
8 hours of sleep, each night
Establish a cleaning routine
Enjoy a healthy breakfast each morning

10,000 steps
This was an easy one ! All my family decided to buy Fit bit's last weekend, naturally we all started challenged each other & it turns out i'm kinda competitive (who knew) 

8 hours of sleep 
We're currently staying at M's dad's house in the country ! It's lovely and quiet, there is no internet & its pretty cold out there. We've found ourselves making a cuppa & heading to bead nice & early. Getting enough sleep is truly life changing ! 

Enjoy a healthy breakfast each morning  
As we're not in our usual home, we've mixed up our routine a little. I have a cup of coffee as i get ready in the morning & then make breakfast at work. It's not something i'd like to do forever (work kitchens are kinda gross, am i right ?) but it's working nicely for right now. My breakfast of choice is currently Wholegrain Toast with Vegemite & Avocado ! 


 

1,200 calories, each day  
I've only given this a half strike as i haven't been using MyFitnessPal as much as i would have liked, i haven't necessarily eaten more than 1,200 as i feel myself getting hungry throughout the day ! I definitely am going to try and be more diligent about tracking food from here on out though. It's all about good habits ! 

2L of water, each day   
Wah ! I really wanted to nail this goal, sadly i left my straw drink bottle at home & it set me up for failure :( tomorrow is a new day though ! 

Establish a cleaning routine   
We're not at home so this really wasn't going to happen. 

All in all i've done ok, i think all the extra sleep i'll get from this long weekend will really set me up for a brilliant week next week 

Also, how good is Kale ! It's one thing i've really started enjoying as i try it wil different cooking combo's

Hope you all have a brilliant long weekend ! 
I'm attempting bone broth
Wish me luck :)

Recent Happenings


Reading:  
Event Briefs ! Am loving my new job, but as the newby it involves alot of scoping out how things are done & gaining an insight into the business model.

Watching: 
Orange is the new Black (OITNB) !! I LOVE this show. We've had Netflix since November & have only recently put this on. The best bit ? Season 3 is due out on June 12th & the whole season comes out in one go ! Perfect for binge watchers like myself :) Game of Thrones and Modern Family also get a look in when we take a rare break from Litchfield. 

Listening to:  

'Water for Elephants', the audiobook. (It's baffling how quickly a car trip can go when you're entranced by a book) Ed Sheeran & Teddy Geiger have been making appearances too. 


Smelling: 
'Si' by Giorgio Armani. I don't own it (yet) but one of the girls at work wears in daily & it smells incredible. Hand cream is also very prevalent at this time of year & i'm yet to smell one of those i don't like ! 




Jelly & Nugget at our Engagement Shoot.

Thinking about: 

Our wedding ! I'm getting SO excited now (we are less than 6 months away). Renovating our bathroom, all the new things we need to choose. Wondering if it would make for an interesting blog post ?

Wishing:  

That the year would slow down a tad ! It feels like it should still be February.  

Working on:  

Organising 'Crafternoon' for next Friday. We have our 'Save the Dates' to construct (hence the engagement shoot) & i'm hoping to reel all my siblings in with the promise of Mexican food and an NBA game. 


Loving:  
My new job. All the exciting lifestyle changes i have in mind & the thought that in a few weeks i should be happy(ier) in my skin. Nights in with my baby dogs & M. 

Anticipating: 
Dinner with my family tonight. Games night tomorrow night. Getting a new phone next week, Lunch with a lovely friend next weekend and smashing out the bathroom vanity / sink.


How has life been treating you lately ?
