45th Birthday - resolutions time ;)

My skin on my face has always been fine. My arms, however are another story

They get red bumps which I need to keep exfoliating and moisturising to keep on top of. Well I haven't had time to do that recently and I just noticed today that my arms are completely clear! I'm putting this down to my green smoothies

I was quite naughty yesterday, but oh well, one bad day didn't make me fat and one good day won't make me skinny!

Run planned for tomorrow and a full body work out too I think.

Don't give up people, this is a long journey and there will be a few bumps along the way. In general I feel just so much healthier and better about myself, that's spurring me on.

Cleaned up the whole flat (ok, cheated a bit, got help LOL) and sorted out kitchen cupboards...

Oh dear.... if all shops close tomorrow for a month
- I will be fine...:o.

Scared to open the freezer as this is full too - and I mean full....

Where am I going to put the soups I was planning to cook tomorrow? :eek:

Amazon delivery came today - wohoooooooooooooooo, hazelnuts and almonds and soya beans (organic all) for the milk maker that has not arrived yet.

Put a couple of tablespoons into a half glass of alpro soya hazelnut milk (shop bought as milk maker did not arrive yet) with a bit of maple syrup and.. wowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww. The disolve and make kind of jelly from whatever you put them in, so yummy...
