A Garden Makeover and Growing Our Own

Garden makeover

When we moved into our new (to us) home last September we knew we had a lot of work to do, both in the house and with the land outside. We inherited a lot of land (including two gardens and another large grassed area), but unfortunately came a lot of junk too which we are still trying to clear – I imagine we will still be doing that this time next year! The main thing I wanted to sort out though was the back garden, as the back door is the one we use most so it is a focal point, and …

Slimming World weigh in #71 – the one with a new number…

After my slight (expected) gain at last week’s weigh in I went away from group feeling determined that I was going to get into that next stone bracket this week. I had no plans so there was nothing to kick me off track; that was until I was hit with a couple of low days and picked at things I shouldn’t have been, and then we had an impromptu meal out and I ended up eating half of the boys’ desserts as they’d had enough half way through it…oops! I didn’t let it scupper me too much though and was right back on …

Our favourite five – June | Farms, Parks, and Gardens

So another month has passed in a blur – where does the time go?! It doesn’t feel like summer as it’s supposed to be. Due to the horrendous weather, we have spent more time indoors than outdoors in the last month. On the few sunny days we have had, though, we have enjoyed ourselves outside doing some things featured in our favourite five for June 🙂 (Though I am a little late as I haven’t had any motivation recently, or I’ve been super tired – both have probably gone hand in hand actually!).

Slimming World weigh in #70 – the one with yet another…

I was a bit annoyed after my weigh in last week and only coming away with a maintain as I was on plan all week and had nothing to show for it really. I went away from group feeling more determined to get a loss this week, but knowing I had a fundraising event coming up at the weekend, involving afternoon tea, I had already decided I was going to a few EESP days after that, up until weigh in. I don’t know how people manage a full week as I can only just manage a few days without yogurts, pasta, and …

Slimming World weigh in #69 – the one where I’m a bit gutted…

After my small loss at last week’s weigh in and not quite reaching that next stone bracket yet again, I went away from group with my determined head on because I really wanted to break into it this week. I had my meals planned, we had no other plans elsewhere, and we didn’t have any impromptu meals out which could have steered me off track. I didn’t even go slightly over my syns this week, on any day! I can’t remember the last time that happened, to be honest…
