Well, I bought some new batteries for my Fitness watch, so that is now all sorted for exercise and walking.

I received my raw food haul from Raw Living and Indigo Herbs

I succeeded in crushing the kale chips into tiny little pieces :( Oh Dear!

I also received a parcel today for 'Slim In 6', not for the diet plan AND exercise but for the exercises, I will have to be careful with my knees but this routine looks pretty good. I intend to continue doing our morning walks also.

One other little thing I purchased recently are jicama seeds. We can't buy jicama here in the UK so I am going to try my hand at growing these. The seeds were quite pricey at £5 + for seven seeds but hopefully it will be worth it, bearing in mind, I am not green fingered...oops! I will have to Google it :)
And that is pretty much the end of my hauls of late until whenever.

I still need to sort out a raw menu plan for myself.

Today has consisted of mainly housework. I am rather tired today so I am thinking an early night might be in order.

Back tomorrow peeps! :)

I have been trying to upload these photos since Friday evening but they just would not upload, so I asked my youngest son to upload them through his computer and they went on...woohoo. I think the problem is with my computer :(

We done our big grocery haul and I also had a bit of a shopping spree on Friday (Valentines Day) and I thoroughly enjoyed it! I don't have spending spree's often.

Above, New bedding....BEAUTIFUL!

I bought new lined curtains for my livingroom. I have hung them and they are GORGEOUS! So much better than our previous livingroom curtains.

I also spotted milk bottles with stoppers that I am going to use for my nut milks.

New tea, coffee and sugar containers. The LED lights are for my conservatory. My husband attached them just along the edge of the ceiling of our conservatory, they are SOOO pretty in the dark and a nice delicate feature.

A turbo brush for cleaning awkward little spaces, and lots of other bits and pieces.

Haul

Back later with todays photos and update.

February already! :) I popped out this morning because I wanted to buy a couple of pairs of trousers. These trouser aren't expensive but very comfortable and great for walking in. I bought a size 20 and a size 18...amazing because the bigger the clothes the more they cost; the size 20 was £7 and the size 18 was £6...another good reason to lose weight; clothes are less expensive because less fabric is used in making them, it is a bit prejudice against the larger lady.

After going into town for my trousers my husband and I went along to Asda for some groceries. I still have some groceries to put away but for now I am here typing this. My hubby is at our eldest son, Michael's home helping him with his motorbike. My hubby will be bringing our eldest grandson, Michael back with him because little Michael stays here every Saturday until Sunday night :)

I hunted my Fitness watch out which I am going to use when we do our daily walks.

I actually bought this in 2009 and have never really used it but come Monday it will be upon my wrist :)
Oh! By the way, myself and my youngest son, James done our walk again on Thursday...WhooHoo! So that was 4 days in a row of walking...WooHoo.

I am hoping to get some raw goodies made. I was looking up Larabar recipes yesterday which I will be making, and hopefully some kale chips and crackers etc.

I took some body measurements yesterday which I will post along with weights, I will do that later today or tomorrow.

That is me for now. I might be back later today or tomorrow.

This is the third day of doing the walk and I have to say that it felt more painful on the legs, my shins were very sore but I did not give in and we walked the full distance, and then some :) not much more but possibly an extra 1/4 mile.

I had a banana for my pre walk snack. I haven't had anything else yet but juicing is on my menu for today, or most of the day.

Yep, I was up bright and early and out the house at 6.55am and walked the same walk :) It felt harder this morning because my legs were already sore from yesterday, but walked it I did :) AND GUESS WHAT? I'm doing it again tomorrow morning!

I am thinking of drinking juices and smoothies tomorrow, actually I am thinking of drinking juices because I can never think of what to eat except for salads. I have stacks of raw food recipe books and DVD's but for some reason always end up eating salad...SOOO! What I am going to do is create a menu plan for me. I am also going to choose some things that I want to make over this coming weekend and get some things into that good ole dehydrator; crackers, kale chips and maybe make some things for the freezer. 
Russell James' course has a module on meal/menu planning, a good place to start me thinks.
Creating the menu plan will take me a day or two but when I have it sorted I will blog it here.

I love having plans, rota's and being organised! I love to know whats what.

I confess to taking a 2 hour nap after my walk this morning, I hate napping but it was needed :)
Nothing really to report about today, infact, these last two days have been rather quiet.

Thankyou to Serenity Love Sincere Peace Earth  for your very kind and encouraging comments, I truly appreciate them :)

I will be back tomorrow, as quiet as it may be :)

I was out walking at about 7.15am this morning with my youngest son, James. We walked about 2 miles, pretty good going considering I haven't done any kind of lengthy walk for a few years. Within a few seconds of getting back I could feel it in my legs and small of my back....I MUST BE SOOO UNFIT!
We are going to do this walk of 2 miles about 3 - 4 morning per week :)
It was still dark when we went out this morning and just starting to get light as we got back.

After getting back from our walk I got changed and then I made myself a smoothie consisting of: pineapple, banana, coconut water and a pear...YUM!

*Updated*
I stayed raw all day and ended on a salad for my evening meal.

Back tomorrow :)

Oh! Yes I am. I am because I am getting back on track as of tomorrow, Friday 17 January 2014...WooHoo

I done our big grocery shop yesterday, Wednesday so I am well stocked and for some reason excited:)

I placed a small order to 'Detox Your World' on Wednesday which arrived today; 24 hour delivery...FABULOUS!

I also received, 'Shazzie's Detox Delights' recipe book for free...so nice of them AND that's not all! I received a voucher code from 'Detox Your World' for £15 off my order...WOW! How absolutely LOVELY of them!!
I have one friend voucher code for anyone that wants to use it. I think it can be use internationally. This code will have to be used by January 31st. Let me know in the comments if you would like it!

Tomorrow I am going to have Tomato and Basil soup. I bought the soup from Costco. It has no preservatives in it AT ALL! Which is good and it is a good gentle introduction back to raw.

Thankyou to Serenity Love Sincere Peace Earth  for your lovely comment. I have left a reply in my comments. I did try to leave a comment on your blog but it wouldn't let me (
Thankyou again xo :)

I am going to be blogging daily now!

Back tomorrow.
