BRAND NEW WORK CLOSET

New Work Closet

My Sunday afternoon was spent revamping my work closet. I went to Pretoria East Malls including Menlyn. Great time to shop at the clearance sales. I do love shopping but avoid it because I think about the cost too. I spent a small fortune on this but it was worth every cent.

Today I went shopping to revamp my work closet. I managed to stop myself from buying casual clothing. I usually end up with too much casual/ weekend items in my trolley. Today my trolley was filled to the brim with pencil skirts. Feeling too grown up. In search of a red and a navy heel now.

GRAIN FREE BREAD

Grain Free Bread

I've been back on my mostly paleo diet. This food is the only medication for me. I feel light when I cut grains in my diet, I get healthier, my mood improves, etc. I have lost the weight I piled on in December too. I am praying that my travels don't spoil it. I ate a lot of salad this week. I never got tired of it. Since I am a bread addict, I have found ways of baking without grains.
Today I baked Almond and Flaxseed grain free bread and I loved how it turned out. Its perfect for tea time and breakfast.

SNACK OF THE DAY

Its probably a bit weird that I eat healthier when I go to the office than when I work from home. I enjoy packing healthy lunches. When I go to the office I my snack of the day is always well thought and well prepared. I have to learn to do the same at home. Forget all the options I see when I open the fridge and pantry. Tough!
Today I packed a boiled egg, nectarine, nice salad with mozzarella, beef soup, a few dried plums for my tummy situation and a slice of grain free pumpkin bread. I enjoyed it.

LONG WALK AND A SUNSET

Sunset View from my Balcony

Today, hubby dearest dumped his own jogging routine to give me support in my first 2014 slow walk. I was very lazy at the beginning but so proud of myself I pushed for it. As we approached our home, we noticed an amazing dusty orange sunset. I ran up the stairs as quick as I could to photograph it on the balcony. Our neighbour's high house was actually blocking most of it. It was so gorgeous.

WEIGH-IN THURSDAY

I joined a weightloss programme rum by our welness girl at work. For as long as I can remember, I battled with my weight. I am not obese but overweight. The only problem is that, I have being overweight. I dont enjoy wearing a weight bigger than 10 or 34 (SA). I wear a size 36 or 12. I am a short person (156cm). The day I hit size 34 burst, I'll celebrate big time.

Today was our weigh-in day and I lost 600g. It is supposed to be Thursday but the lady is not available tomorow. We actually pay R2 per week, which goes towards the gift of the biggest loser. I am next week's biggest loser...fingers crossed. I will buy my paleo ingredients and bake bread that loves my body. Not the sour bread that I also dearly love. Theres my big self and my outfit of the day.
