Apple muncher's number crunching

No workout today. Gasp! I was rather sore from doing two yesterday, so have had a lazy day. A bit of needle felting - hanging snowmen using bauble hanging plastic thingies in their heads. ⛄.

December has been good for doing workouts 🏋️. And for getting a job 🧐 (that's my invigilator face). It's been rubbish for keeping a record of spends despite getting receipts for most shops. I've visited a lot of charity shops and our cmas presents were sourced from various places but not amzn.

Tomorrow is a new day, a new month. I think I'm going to find the sugar thing tough! Or rather, the no sugar thing.

I might try audio books from the library app instead of watching the telly when I'm crafting...

I'm half ready for school as regards prepping lessons. Only 3 year groups left but y13 is a biggie to prep. But I'm not teaching until Fri, so have some leeway, though I don't want to spend my weds and Thurs doing that now, do I!!??

Happy New Year! At some point (presumably past midnight), pip came in for a very quiet 'pinch, punch, first of the month, no returns' 🤣 and both pip and dh are still sleeping.

I've done my first workout of the year. It involved 150 kettle bell swings and 50 burpees of different varieties. I found some old recorded bull riding, so am watching that whilst stabbing my hanging snowmen. Start the year as you mean to go on, eh?!

Happy New Year, my snowman stabbing, dual-employed, polyglot.

May 2023 bring you all you wish for and a whole lot more.

It's about time Karma kicked in.

All I can think about is sugar 😵😵😵!

I've used chicken stock to make cauliflower +garlic soup, a massive fruit salad and chicken thighs are cooking in the slow cooker. But I want sugar...🤣🤣🤣...

Well, I think that proves a point, no?

Yep, indeed it does. But I've not caved in so smug face is on 😎.

Isn't day 3 supposed to be the worst one when doing things like this? Well, that's the day I return to work ... 🤣.

I'm with you on the no sugar thing.  I did it for years and it was just fine but I'm getting back to it this year.  After experiencing cravings yesterday and then giving in and drinking some wine I would describe my yesterday as an epic fail  This morning I had a think and settled down to plan properly.  I need snacks when I come in from the yard so I'm making some cheese and oatcakes things that are savoury then and I've researched some low sugar biscuits that I will make.  I think I'm going to ease myself in with first giving up the pre-purchased sugars and processed foods then moving on.  That might work for me.

It's not having my usual 85% choc that is the tough bit, as it's so much part of my routine!! It doesn't contain much sugar, but it still counts!

How about the natural sugars in dried fruit, apple, watty, do they count?
