Feel Good Friday

Where did this week go? All I can remember was the beginning of the week and here we are at the end of it. Never mind. Push on. Lets keep going right?

Fitness 

I have seriously dropped the ball with my Fit Yummy Mummy exercises, I can't believe I haven't been able to allocate 15 minutes in my day with all that's been going on around me. That's life, right. I am all about keeping it as real as possible so yes even healthy and fit people can drop the ball. I am definitely living proof and am in no way perfect.  I don't consider myself as a super really healthy and fit person, just a regular Mum that is trying to get some consistency in her life whilst managing a household of 6 peeps!


My meal planning dropped this week, well this entire month. Hang on. The last few months!!!! Don't get me wrong, I'll plan maybe one week or one day and then I'm off track and it shows. Over the winter period I have gained 5kgs (11lbs), which doesn't really bother me if it was all muscle!!!! I'm back to that lazy way, bulge overhang and just being soft.

So it's time to step it up a little, get refocused and get me back on track. This week it's all about;





I need to get some order back into my routine as when I slip, I slip real hard. I eat so much unnecessary and quantity of food that I sometimes make myself sick. I'm sure there is a condition for this, have no clue what it is. So who's ready to join me?

This was one of my outfits during the week. I was totally in a chillaxed mood as I have been up early hours of the morning with work. I am over the moon with what's been happening with my business lately and super excited to be interacting with London and Munich these days which requires me to be in their time zone which is typically between 10pm and 2am our time.

The pieces above have been selected from the Polyvore app however my harem pants are from Sussans, glitter jumper, beret and sneakers from Sportsgirl.

What's you favourite gear to lounge around in?

Have a sensational weekend and looking forward to our Week 3 challenge which is all about STYLE.
