Goals for the coming weeks...
Gahhhhh, I don't feel I've had enough superfree foods this week; I'm seriously in need of fruit! Must do some shopping tomorrow. I'm also in the process of redecorating AND helping to plan a wedding! I'm maid of honour for my best friend who's having TWO weddings - once traditional African do (in September), one traditional church do (in October). It sounds far, but it's not!
And sooooo....
-Must try to not to stress nibble on bad junk
-Must buy more fruit and veg for next week!
-Get my 2st shiny

Thanks bex! I'm definitely more of a veggie person myself, I love very few select fruits, but I've been going through the book again, and will be challenging myself to try a new fruit once in while!
