The same but different 🏡 Yesterday was a day of The same but different 🏡 Yesterday was a day off for me, thanks to my company offering everyone a day off to celebrate a new financial year 🙌🏻 So I spent it tryinggggg to declutter and get those rooms sorted - will it be done before the next #transformationtuesday 🤔
Naturally I’m knackered today so it was a nice change to be bound to a laptop. Kick started the day with some classic High School Musical 😂 How’s your Tuesday been?

We had a busy one, sorting through some of the junk we carried through the move, and finally get those must keep items stored in our loft space! I am a little gutted I’m not showing you a transformation of the two spare rooms, but it’s not long now, just a couple more boxes to sort and some things to sell and we will finally have a 3 bedroom house!

Rhodie thoroughly enjoyed his zoomies  round the garden, especially once we took the fence back so he had more room to run! Doesn’t he just look so happy. All he wanted was us all to be in the garden all day!

The grass is certainly longer and more established The grass is certainly longer and more established since this snap from early January. 🌿 Despite Rhodie being a little naughty and pulling a few chunks of lawn up in first few weeks, the lawn is going well. 
But as sunshine starts to appear, our next project is fast approaching - our garden! I have some high hopes for our long garden plot, including a larger patio and some much needed privacy. I didn’t think I would be, but I’m rather excited to get green fingered, and hopefully create a inviting outdoor space 🌿 Any advice for our rather daunting blank canvas? I’d love to hear any ideas!

I am so stoked that our loft is now BOARDED!🌿 Y I am so stoked that our loft is now BOARDED!🌿 You know how it is, those childhood mementos, wedding day cards and the odd air loom just have no other place that somewhere safe, like a loft. It’s something we completely underestimated, but we managed to find someone to undertake the work and we can see the light on our current mess that is upstairs! 
Yes, I thought he was coming on Friday, and yes he did get a fright when I opened the door yesterday morning in my dressing gown, but hey ho, it’s done and I didn’t know I could be so bloody excited for some plywood in a loft!

Did you see it? ✨ The moody new blue in our loun Did you see it? ✨ The moody new blue in our lounge? Dunno why but my colour transformation reel isn’t showing on my grid, but it’s still kicking my around. To say I’m in love with our new colour would be a understatement. Being a bit braver in our new home is coming together, just a few finishing touches to go! 
👈🏼 Swipe left to see the bland before!

Hello Monday 👋🏼 Our weekend was a slow and s Hello Monday 👋🏼 Our weekend was a slow and steady one. We found snow on our Saturday afternoon walk! And polar bear Rhodie LOVED IT 🐶 Sunday was a slow one too, with a mid morning walk, sweet treats and even some painting! Both me and my husband have the week off, and since the splash of colour yesterday afternoon, we seem a little more eager to get more colour in our home, pronto!

Just a little snap shot from our bedroom ✨I can’t show much else in all honesty, since we still have clutter in boxes, and a tv currently living on a ladder step 🙈 But hey, my perfume collection looks just perfect for now!

It’s Saturday and the usual weekly shop is the only thing on the agenda. Maybe a quick pop to get some paint too? We both have a week off and whilst we will mainly be doing sweet F-all, we may just do some decorating!

Eating yourself healthy – The little changes

I received the best compliment just the other day.
‘You’ve lost weight, I can tell’.
Oh the pure joy that swept across me when hearing that!!

I’m all for being body confident, but when you have a wedding day looming, and wedding dress shopping edging closer, you really do have to take a closer look at the double chins, wobbly arms and spot prone skin from too much choco.

Just a couple of weeks ago, me and Ali decided to eat far more fruit and veg, as well as cutting carbs and swapping to low fat and fat-free.
I thought I was being a little far fetched when I noticed the jeans a little loose since its only been a couple of weeks, but it confirms your thoughts when someone else notices.

Not only has the compliment given me a confidence boost, it’s also given me a bigger drive to keep at it and continue. Of course, the odd meal out, a box of chocolates are a little setback, but it’s worth it.

So what have I swapped, dropped or changed? Here is goes:

Over night oats
Nothing better than some overnight oats in the morning. Personal favorite includes banana and chocolate.  Sets me up all morning, and stops me from snacking on those fatty alternatives.

An apple a day 
Refreshing and healthy snack mid morning keeps me from reaching the sugary snacks, or munching on lunch much to early. 

Fruit & Muesli  
Another pre-morning prep. Frozen fruit, fresh yogurt and muesli, topped with honey and cinnamon. Refreshing, simple and super tasty. Even better, fills you up and gets those 5 a day packed into your lunch too. 

Cut the crisps 
Just a no go. Completely cut the crisps, and for the better. Salt intake is down and so are my calories. 

Smaller portions 
I was always piling it onto my plate, not wanting to waste. Now I have cut the portions completely, I finish dinner satisfied rather than rammed and bloated.

A side salad 
Serving salad wherever possible is a must. Added taste and gets the greens into every meal. I try and keep it free from any dressing where possible.

Less pasta
I love pasta. So quick, so easy but oh so fatty when eating it frequently. I’ve tried to subconsciously limit the amount we eat within the week. By cutting out one meal of pasta, we have seen a huge change in our weight. Crazy!

Treats
You should treat yourself, in moderation. With us, that’s a Ben & Jerry’s tub every month. Knowing you have that treat makes it that little easier when you are craving something oh so sweet!

I have in no way been serious about losing tons of weight. For me, it’s all about a lifestyle change rather than a fad diet to lose a couple of pounds in time for a big event. The smaller changes are always the most valuable.

Have you made changes and seen a huge difference? Any advice on what else I could change? Let me know and comment below, I am determined to change more for the better!
