Oh good on you!! I wish so badly there were more people in this world willing to take in a needy animal someone has dumped. It makes me soooo sad seeing overflowing animal shelters and hearing about how many of the poor things are getting put down every week. You have an absolute heart of gold!
Well last night I felt like absolute crap, had a really dodgy sleep but woke up at 5:30 this morning for my gym sesh feeling normal lol. Really hard session today, did 25kg bench presses then drop sets with 15kg... lots of squats and lunges and a terrible version of sit ups with a squishy thing behind my back so I can't lie the whole way down. It was pain lol. Trainer said I'm one of his easiest clients though, apparently I'm easy to train because I don't argue and I try everything. So good on me

Feeling a bit sniffly again now I'm sitting down though, having my olive leaf before every meal I think that's holding it back a lot.
OOOOOOOO Excitement!! I've been hunting everywhere for this recipe book I lost since we moved up here... I found it last night, every single recipe is AMAZING and has nutritional info on it, also has a little blurb about each one saying the extra vitamins etc in it!!! I'm setting myself a challenge: Going to cook my way through the entire book to get more variety in my diet, also to get Ash to try new foods (cuz if I'm cooking it he HAS to eat it) Get to improve my cooking skills along the way too!! Going to get some stickers today- just coloured dots- so when I've made a recipe I can stick a dot on it as to whether it was good or not. Also I'm going to start making Sunday 'dessert day'... so on Sundays I'll be making dessert and having some (in my calorie count of course!! the book has a great dessert section) They're pretty small too so what I can see happening is I'll have one serve and Ash will eat all the rest of it in the same night lol. I promise to post any recipes I find extra amazing!! I mean I eat really healthy now but it is pretty much the same thing every day. So WOOOO Challenge on!!
