Things can only get better

Good to hear about your gym pass . Sorry about the terrible incident with cyclist, very frightening I would imagine. Not long now till Lanzarote, bet you can't wait.

Happy September folks August just flew by. Can finally say I'm going on holiday this month :j

Went to the HIIT/Abs at 9am this morning, turns out it's being advertised incorrectly and is actually Insanity Live :eek: Still I gave it a go and enjoyed it, so I'll be booking in for next Sunday. Forgot how much I hate burpees though. I think I've lived on the endorphins it released all day and have been very productive since I got back. I feel loads better for it too. Will probably ache all over in the morning.

Finances done and I will so have to pull my socks up for the next 3 weeks as I'm in real danger of going over budget again. At least the cc is paid off and by keeping a track of spends I can see where it all goes. Extra spends on hair and birthday meal haven't helped and I think I need to rejig my "other" spending pot as I don't think I'm allowing enough, we'll see, for now I need to be more frugal over the next 3 weeks. Mr SA still needs a suitcase but this can come out of the holiday budget.

Meal plan for the week ahead done:
Soup for work lunches - butternut squash, chickpea and lime (one of my old faves)
Tonight - Caribbean style salmon bowl
Monday - vegetable paella
Tuesday - spiced cod with puy lentils (trying a new WW recipe)
Wednesday - scampi, butternut squash wedges and veg
Thursday - veg chilli and cauli rice (using up freezer stuff)
Friday - stir fry
Saturday - HM pizza, wedges and salad

Got to do a full week at work this week :eek: However, only 3 days actually in the office - Thursday I'm in London taking meeting notes and Friday I'm working from home.

Weather is gorgeous here today, very sunny but a lot cooler than last week.

Sorry about the horrible man on the bike incident, that would shake me up too . Hopefully you won't see him again. Good news about the free gym pass though . Exercise does fill you will positive endorphins so I can see why you felt more productive afterwards. Great news too about the all clear for Mr SA .

:think::think::think: ....muses on Mr SA and the sunglasses....

Well done on getting through the Insanity workout - and actually enjoying it! It made someone I know cry!:rotfl:

Meal plan looks delish as always.

Enjoy your two days out of the office this week.

That’s Monday done

Thankfully not aching after Insanity. LOL to someone crying at it SSG Apart from just over 20k steps walking to and from work and a walk at lunchtime today is a rest day.

Mr SA and I still arguing over the bloomin suitcase. I’m trying to make him understand he needs a wheelie case not a hold-all, I’m the one who will be handling the cases not him GRR

Apart from that a pretty quiet day

Don't argue with him SA just order the wheeled one. Tell him you refuse to let him go on holiday with you if he has a holdall :mad:.

You're amazing for surviving Insanity as well as for doing all those steps:T.

A very belated happy birthday - I’m glad the sun shone for you
As for the man - what a coward running off when approached by the man in the car....must have been both scary and maddening.
Enjoy your free time at the gym - can’t you get reduced rates once it runs out. There’s a ‘leisure key’ system near me - I used to have one when caring for my ds many moons ago - they may have changed it all by now though.

Morning all, happy Wednesday

HH I've decided to order the case online and let him see which one I'm buying.

Had to pay £25 for my theatre ticket today. Really looking forward to it, there are 6 of us going. Not told Mr SA yet, it's a few weeks away and there's no need to start him off moaning yet. I'll make sure he gets his dinner before I go.

Working from home today, good choice as it's raining at the moment and I would've got soaked on the walk there. Going to book myself into another class for later today, pondering Fight Klub, I've been assured it's good fun and a great way to de-stress.

Mr SA is just worried any teatime classes I go to will mean he gets his dinner slightly later.

Have a good day everyone xx
