Back to normal

I was up at 6.30 this morning for work. My hours are 8am until 4pm which I love as I am a morning person and am happy to go into work early and finish early. My nightmare job would involve sitting in an office until 8pm. I can't think of anything worse! Work was good today. I am getting more involved in the system changes happening. This is possibly due to an outburst of mine last week when I cried with frustration! As it is I am struggling to be recognised for the work I am doing outside of my team. It is nigh on impossible to make yourself heard sometimes even with the backing of my manager. I am excited to be able to help lead a change project soon but even more happy at the thought of my week off next week!

Anyway, enough of my work day. I made it to the gym at 4pm and spent 45 minutes in there working on my legs, arms and abs. I worked hard, upping my weights a bit but I need to do more cardio. I plan on adding in some swimming and maybe a spin class. I loved the cycling we did at Center Parcs and I really want to get my abs more toned again! I have a plan to up my gym sessions and I hope to be able to do 6 days a week doing some sort of activity at the leisure centre.

I cooked one of Jamie Olivers pasta dishes tonight. 30 minute meals is an awesome book and is going on my list right now! The meals are so simple and use some brilliant ingredients that I wouldn't normally use. Love It! I am going to use my Food Doctor book too and get back into my healthy eating and homely Jess mode! I love all things home and am such a geek when it comes to home maintenance books. Ij've been so lazy recently though and my flat is a bit of a tip so this weekend will be quiet me time and housework time. My flat is going to sparkle and I might even go shopping for some wool to knit something for the house! A project for my week off, yay!

Also to do on my week off:

• Catch up with my sister on her wedding plans
• Cook some lovely things and practice my icing skills

I'm sure I will think of some more before long.
