Weekend grateful - getting fit

It's not just the numbers on the scales.
I can feel it.
The flexibility increasing, the strength growing. I can do push ups and survive them.
My stamina is so much better than it was two months ago.
I do the gym circuit class three or four times a week and I work hard for an hour each time. I get to the end and even though I have sweated and puffed, I don't feel completely shattered like I did when I first started.
I can see it too. When the Captain took some photos of me and the boys yesterday to mark my birthday, it was the first time in a long time where I could look at them and feel ok. There's a way to go still, but the photos didn't repulse me. That's huge for me.

I have dispensed with 7.2 kilograms. I am so proud of myself and grateful that I am feeling fitter and healthier.

As always, singing a grateful tune along with Maxabella.
This is a bit drab 2 fab too so I am linking up with Lucy as well. xx

You can never have too many baked goods

I haven't done anything particularly commercial here on Segovia. It's not that I don't want to. I have just been focusing my energy on establishing things around here.

I believe ferociously vehemently strongly with all my heart that you can never have too many baked goods in your house at any one time. So when Bakers Delight contacted me and asked if I would like to try their Authentic Sourdough, I just knew I had to say yes.

The day the sourdough arrived at our house was a hectic one. Most days around here are like that. On our really busy days, I often keep the Batsman and Bowler's dinner really, really simple. By the end of the day they are usually only interested in eating simple meals. Minimum effort, maximum taste. So in the interests of keeping things simple, I soft boiled some lovely free range eggs, sliced some gorgeous salami I bought at the farmer's market, pitted some kalamata olives and chopped the sourdough into dippable size pieces.

The sourdough was lovely. It was crusty on the outside, soft and moist on the inside. Some sourdough breads can be so strong in taste that they don't appeal to kids. Not this one. The Bowler is into foods he can dip at present so he loved dipping the bread into the egg. The Batsman made little stacks of bread, salami and olives. Sometimes the most simple meals can be really successful.

Would you like to try Bakers Delight Authentic Sourdough at your place? I have five $5 vouchers to give away so that you can go and get some. Remember, you can never have too many baked goods.
