Day 1 of the rest of my life

So today was day 1 and I am so excited by my days progress that I just had to post before going to bed :)

I did my 20 minutes of exercise and then some. I completed 20 minutes on my cross trainer (god that thing is heavy!) and I also did crunches, lunges, squats (all the strength and toning I used to do) in order to make sure I got all my muscles working and waking up as such. Planning on starting Gillian Michaels 30 day shred (again!) tomorrow and hopefully if I time things correctly I'll also have time for my 20 mins cross trainer work.

I ate within my 27 propoints today and tracked for the first day all week so was quite pleased. However once I got home this evening I also indulged in some toast with peanut butter and tea which was absolutely yummy but I'm sure I'll regret it tomorrow on the scales.. oops!

I make notes with my plans for little A as well. Pinterest sucked me in this morning and I spent a good hour or so pinning absolutely everything to do with crafts for Halloween and Christmas. It really put me in the Christmassy mood and I'm nearly ashamed to admit when I finished I really, REALLY wanted to listen to some Christmas music and dance around the room with little A. However, I didn't.. Instead I danced around the room to Ben and Hollys little Kingdom theme tune.. I know I was a little let down too. But tomorrow I am going to make a start. We are heading off out to the park to start our Autumn leaf collection and we're going to make thankful trees. I am very excited about this as it'll mean a proper start to Autumn for the two of us.

With regards to my lovely cleaning pledge.. I may be regretting saying it already! I made an amazing start today (post to follow) but I think it just made me realise how much I want to do with this apartment before I start decorating for Halloween or Christmas. I have set myself a goal however and intend on meeting it!

Tomorrow morning is going to be my D-Day as such. Tomorrow I will be getting up early (as in 6.30 early) and doing everything that normally I have to squeeze into a 5 minute segment of my day. Wish me luck! :)

Now I am off to bed to work on that beauty sleep people keep talking about!

Until tomorrow,

Nicola xx
