Back to school - Back to reality!

So yes, today was the first day back to school and "normal routine" so to speak... but I decided to kick it off with a positive attitude and some changes! As I have mentioned to some of you, my Christmas wish was for a treadmill haha and well, shortly before Christmas, Dave and I spotted a second hand one being advertised on Facebook for next to nothing so we grabbed it.

I did not touch it throughout the entire holiday because hey... holidays are not about THAT! lol! - although Jude was on it almost every day haha! I saved it for today. I have wanted to start walking again on a regular basis as I used to do it daily and I miss it. I love shoving my headphones in and just escaping for a little bit.

So, that is precisely what I did this morning after dropping Jude at school and although it now takes me about five minutes to get up off a chair haha and I have not done any physical exercise in about 4 years, so I nearly died... but it felt SO GOOD! I did a 5km walk at about 6km/h so not too shabby for day one!

I also made the decision to get back onto the intermittent fasting I was doing last year before the festive season landed lol as well as cutting out carbs again as much as possible - so I had my first 2020 carb free breakfast! hehe!

It was a good day and a great start to the "new year" and now I will be ending it off with some chicken schnitzel, roasted rainbow carrots, gem squash and a green salad!
