Leaf In The WInd

Wow that week went quick! It's been another busy week! Been doing loads of stuff (again)!

Gym: was a failure last week in one sense, as only went to the gym last Tuesday, but spent a good 3 hours there or something ridonculous! Did loads of weights, full body, but not a lot of cardio! Went gym again today, was only there for about an hour, no more than hour and a half, but did lots of cardio :) No other workouts to report, but life has been crazy.... Hopefully that will count?? Lol

My usual gym selfie

Weight loss: So annoyed! Only lost half, so back to where I was the week before I gained 3lbs...... So only half to go until I'm at my 1st half award..... Again..... You watch me stay the same tomorrow!!! Sod's law!!! Mhhhrrrrrr.....

Food & Drink: Don't feel like it was an amazingly good week for food, as need to restock the cupboards a bit again x_X lol not sure what the damage will be, but then I have been incredibly busy this week! Lots of running around....

Writing: Again, not much to report here! But have been very busy sorting out Scentsy basket trials for people again! And also started my vlog as you may have seen the other night....? Hehehe

Sprog's Adventures: We've had some lovely times this week! Wednesday, we went to go visit my friend from uni who lives in Leicester! We didn't get back until 9.30!!! Needless to say, we were late to nursery the next morning..... I also skipped the gym as I was so knackered! This was also because when we got home and I was settling sprog in to bed, I saw that the spider that had been roaming our lounge and kitchen ceilings the last week or so had managed to find its way in to our bedroom, and decided to walk round the wall to above the head of the bed..... I tried to smack it with my shoe, it fell down and I couldn't find it!!!!! *sobs hysterically!!!* The little bugger reappeared on the opposite wall again, so I made sure I got it properly this time... It now serves as a warning to other spiders..... 

 Train selfie! 

 Was a verrrryyyyy long day! I'm surprised she didn't crash before this!

 Sprog enjoying the hot dog she shared with Aunty J at Duck Pond Market

Sprog also had a wonderful time with her dad last week when they went to the Science Museum! Apparently she REALLY didn't want to leave hehehe Saturday, Sprog came with me to pick up a basket from a lady we met through Slimming World, and we ended up spending the rest of the afternoon there! She also twisted my arm in to letting her bring her scooter! *sigh* she really enjoyed herself, especially as I ended up pulling her along on it, and a few times even stood on the back and propelled us both along xD lol that was the rest of my work out the for week haha

 Sprog feeding a goose! 

 Feeding these guys! We were all loving it!

Sunday was a marvelous day as we went to Black Park with Little Nanny, Aunty J and Loki! The Duck Pond Market was also there including with their petting farm! Needless to say I was in my element :') 

Mummy's Adventures: I don't feel like I have too much to report about me this time, as I think I've already said it lol I really enjoyed cuddling all the animals and stuff, and it's stirred a minor passion in me to work with animals again, but still don't know what I want to or ought to do! There's vet nursing I guess, or maybe I could open up a pet shop or something? I don't know Dx I've been so lazy over the weekend as well, well.... Friday I did a big clean up, well didn't take much, but by Saturday morning, it was an absolute tip :( I hate cleaning when it just goes straight back to being messy again :( Lullsbud, I honestly don't know how you do what you do, and all other domestic goddesses out there!!! I'm a domestic engineer, not a technician, I plan what needs to be done and tell people to do it and how xD hahaha still, got baskets in over the weekend, and back out again for trials, one today and one tomorrow :)

Sunday evening saw (pardon the pun.....) me suffer the most horrendous pain since childbirth! Sprog somehow managed to get her finger and nail on my eyeball!!!! :'( it has only just today stopped hurting, thank god!!! But the last 48 hours have been nothing more than painful and uncomfortable!!!

My eye!!!! My poor beautiful eye!!!! Lol!!!

Other Stuff: I sent off my Channel Mum vlog audition video on Saturday night! If you haven't already seen it, please give it a watch and if you can, let me know what you think! :D https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LW7NVQD4fh8 

Lullsbud also sent her audition vlog too :D hope she doesn't kill me for sharing.... Hehehe but what's not to love??!? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4olqLz0xdo4

Still no homework done for make up! Oh lorrrddd hehehe not really sure I can be bothered now though..... Doesn't feel like I'm doing a real course to be honest :\ I reiterate: I still don't know what I want to do in life! 

We had our hair cut on Thursday! I then dyed my roots :)

Well that's all for now! It's very late, and I'm very tired, and need to be up early for nursery tomorrow!

Nighty night all!!!

xXx

 

Day 941: Vlog 1

The Snowball Effect.....

Well gosh darn! 
Firstly, I'm very sorry as yet again I've left it so long to post! BUT I do still have very good reason! I'm not gonna lie, the last 3 weeks have been crazy busy! So yet again, I shall continue in the same fashion!

Gym: I didn't quite meet my target in the first week (w/c 6th-12th) of 3 work outs, as we ended up going to the New Forest with the rents for the day instead, which was nice! This last week (w/c 13th-19th) I was on target of 2 workouts as I stayed to IMAGE Therapy at Slimming World :) My fitness is markedly improving as I feel I am able to (and need to!) work harder and longer every time in order to feel like I'm working hard!

 Gym selfie! Arm day.... I hate arm days....

Weight loss: First week, I gained 3lbs, but it was Easter!!!! Plus I'd not long started working out, plus then it turned out to be Star Week anyways, so meh. I didn't care though, I felt amazing as I've been going to the gym and my clothes are feeling so much looser now :D Second week, I lost 2.5lbs, was happy, but it wasn't enough after the previous week..... Aiming to lose just 1lb at next weigh in to get my 1.5st award!!! It WILL be mine!!!
 
Food & Drink: Feel like I've been on an uphill struggle, trying to climb back on the wagon, but also feel like I'm getting there.... The struggle is in the form of indecision on what to make and eat for meals, not really fancying anything, and also slothism- I cba to cook and clean up! However, today seems to have been a little different, felt really good food wise today, getting food shopping in tends to help with this issue.... And I think having spent a week off not having to cook didn't help either....

This evening's nosh was the best I've made in 3 weeks! 7.5syns for Doritos and Dip with chilli chicken :D I'm a genius!!! Hehehe

Writing: Nothing to report here...... Been too busy (and maybe lazy....) to do writing.

Sprog's Adventures: Sprog has had lots of fun outdoors! She has spent time outdoors almost every day, until the last few days when the weather has turned a bit lame! She's enjoyed herself on her Tuesdays with her daddy, she's had loads of fun at nursery, and she's just generally having a whale of a time! :)

One of our days out- a park in town centre!

Mummy's Adventures: I have mostly been working out on Tuesdays and when Sprog is at nursery, plus trying to tackle housework, etc! However, as well as Sprog, my main focus recently has been absorbed by Scentsy! It has started going sooo so well recently! I posted a little pic in loads of locations all round Facebook, asking for product testers for Scentsy products, I was inundated! Literally! I had over 160 responses! I've since been trying to organise a waiting list and allocate Scentsy trial tester dates for everyone, it's absolute madness! I am also very excited as today I managed to get my first recruit, I have a very promising potential 2nd recruit, and maybe even a 3rd recruit..... We shall see.... :) hehe of course will keep you posted ^_^ From C's party, I just need to distribute 2 more orders, then I'm done for that order :D although I did majorly fudge up on one order..... I ordered the right warmer in the wrong fucking colour! So annoyed at myself :\ but luckily I managed to find another consultant who had the right colour and willing to swap, so now both the warmers are now in transit to each other with a courier, thank goodness! X_x I hope to receive the replacement warmer early this week!

This little thing is an absolute gold mine! :D

Other Stuff: Oh, I had to go Job Centre on Monday for one of those Work Focused Interviews, and I'm not gonna lie, the woman I spoke to had me seething for days afterwards! I left with a headache!!! She was incredibly unprofessional, had terrible customer service skills (including listening!!!), and was also rather patronising!!! She rang a lady to ask about recruitment at the new Asda store I applied to a few weeks earlier as I'd been rejected, and the first 5 minutes of the conversation was spent catching up!!!! THEN!!! Her mobile rang and she fucking answered it!!!! Cos her son was with a childminder and "he's her baby"!!! What about everyone else then? Eurgh!!!! Also, she told me the same information in a parrot like fashion 4 times, of which I'd already emphasised just as many times how on the ball I am, having spent several hours on EVERY recruitment agency website, and benefit calculator website out there, as well as going to loads of separate recruitment websites for the associated stores!!!!! Eeeeuuuurrrrggghhhhh!!!!!!! Breathe..... Just breathe..... Oh god I really got my self worked back up...... Breeaaatheee Sophieeeee.......

I still haven't done any Make Up coursework :S woops hehehe 

I have to send a 2-3 minute vlog clip to Channel Mum as part of my application by 27th April! :D as does Lullsbud

Ok I think that's all from me now, as the time is getting on, I'm knackered as we stayed at my lovely nanny's house last night! :) hehe I will endeavour to stay in better touch this time...... Hehehehe nighty night :) xxxx

 Bus cretins hehehe

Friday saw our first proper lazy day in 3 weeks! Was lush :)

Just A Quickie........

It has been a week since my last post, and my word has it been busy! I had forgotten that it has only been a week since my last post! I shall bullet point this post for ease of reading and writing...

Gym: I went to the gym twice, and the pool once! I took Wednesday as I was aching so much from Monday and also so that I could stay at SW meeting, went swimming Thursday, and Friday off as I was getting lots of things ready for C's Scentsy party.

Weight loss: I lost 2lbs this week! Hooray!!! Back in new numbers.... Again.... For the third time!!!!

Feeling fiiiiiine

Food and Drink: it's Easter........ Mhhhhrrrrr.......

Writing: haven't done much in the way of writing this week, been too busy again, but my friend B has read it and offered some very helpful suggestions to help me carry on!

Sprog's Adventures: Sprog has absolutely loved her first week at her new nursery, and the staff absolutely love her too, she's good as gold, polite, cheeky and a pleasure to work with! ^_^ She also had a wonderful time with her daddy, nana and grandad at their sleepover on Friday night! They also Skyped me before bed Friday evening which was lovely :') And they spoiled her rotten lol As you probably also know, it has been Easter weekend, so Sprog has been pumped full of chocolate by everyone, I am trying very very hard to limit her daily intake though! Her behaviour really changes after eating very sugary foods :\

Mummy's Adventures: Well, Monday and Tuesday, I felt like I smashed it at the gym, then Wednesday after SW, I still had nearly 2 hours left until I needed to pick Sprog up, so went for a nice Costa and chinwag with my friend, I shall refer to her here as Ni! Haha then picked Sprog up from nursery, bought some activity bits from Tesco, then Ni came round for pizza and dvd's. Thursday was a nice swim, then went to nanny's after nursery for dinner. Friday I dropped Sprog with her daddy, nana and grandad, felt weird leaving her that day as I knew I wasn't going to be picking her up the same day! But had to run around tidying, baking an excellent cake for C's Scentsy party, welcome my friend A, and then after the party, A and I got an Indian take away hehehe! We had a splendid-ish lay in Saturday til 9ish, enjoyed a slow lazy morning, lounging around before getting ready and going in to town for a Nando's x'D oh my this week sounds terrible for food hahaha Woopsie! Sunday we went to nanny's house again for the day and had a lovely Easter Sunday lunch, then after I got Sprog to bed, I had a couple of friends come round to watch a couple of DVDs! :D Today, we went to Big Nanny's house for the afternoon, before coming home to have a Chinese..... Oh my, I am definitely back on plan and in the gym tomorrow! Hehehehe

Guess the movie!!! I played the blondie one in my school show in 2005! :')

 In the car going to Nanny's house! I'm not in the driver's seat, the camera flipped the image!

Scentsy party: For my first proper party where I stand up and talk, it went really well! We managed to get £166 of orders so far, and still waiting on  a possible one or two more :) everyone seemed to really enjoy themselves, and hoping that I may get to book some more parties a bit further down the line :)

The Cake I made... Note "The Cake"!

 

My display for my party ^_^

Other stuff: Haven't done any work on the make up assignment yet, need to get some materials for it, like carbon paper.... No word from the Channel Mum vlog thing yet either..... Sprog and her daddy and fam also bought me a lovely little watering can planter with a little flowering plant (looks maybe shrubberyish....? Lol Ni) Hope I can care for it ok.... Hehe :) 

I think that just about touches upon everything in our week now :) I'm not looking forward to weigh in on Wednesday, but that's my own damn fault, and I will be smashing it up at the gym straight after I weigh, and I have no excuses for determining a good result the week after!!! Looking forward to Wednesday afternoon, Thursday, and Friday though! Doing lots of stuffs :)

Have a good week everyone!$ Don't forget to +1 or share! :) xXx
