Lazy day all in all. Half hour walk around town with dog and half an hour on vibroplate is all the exercise I got. Spent most of day doing jigsaws and colouring with my youngest and then homework and a project with DD1. Caught up with some friends online - one has lost a stone in the last month and it's really transformed his outlook, he's also been looking at NLP as well, so that made me go looking for some NLP books and I have an offer on some being sold in Galway. The other is trying to get her head into the right place as she's doing the 3lb off 3lb on thing constantly but we'll get her there yet, until someone is really ready to make the change it doesn't matter what you tell them, they wont do it.
I'd like to learn more about NLP and life coaching and perhaps do a course - there's one next March in Dublin but it's €1500 for the week, which is a bit out of my league but hoping I can sell some stuff on Etsy perhaps, do a couple of craft classes or even sell some of craft stuff to help towards it. Having something to get my teeth into would be good, I am always seeking new ideas or things (hence a craft room packed with everything imaginable) - still looking for the one that "sticks" and I can actually work at full time - with passion!
I also want to get my sewing machine out, haven't used one in 15 years or more - but have trousers need taking up and jackets that need darts in and I bought some bras in Penneys - the cups are ok but the straps are too long, thought I'd chop them off and sew them up again. (Never been able to buy a cheap bra before ever - they always cost more than the top that covered them, I think it's great!). Hoping I can find someone locally to show me how to set the machine up and fill the bobbins, tension etc as I haven't the patience to read a manual ....
So food today -
Porridge with 1 tbsp raisins and 1/2 tbsp maple syrup 4 syns HEB and 1/2 HEA as made with mostly water and a bit of milk.
Lunch - Veg soup
Snacks - gone mad on plums today - had at least 4
Dinner - Boiled bacon with cabbage and leeks plus a portion baked beans.
Naughty things - 2 bites of kids chicken goujons and a slice of garlic bread - 9 syns.
Tea - with 1/2 HEA (2 cups)
Feel really bloated today but have a feeling it's PMT or maybe I was just a greedy piglet with the bacon ....
Plan for tomorrow - aqua class or 10km walk in morning - afternoon I really want to sort kids room out, there drawers and clothes are in a state & games cupboard is in a heap. Then after they go to bed it's time to start on my craft room (aka the computer, packing, plotter, mug making, sewing, crammed to the gunwhales heap).
