In My Defence, it was Purple

Hiya

I think I have walked the kids well last week and today, last week 30 miles and another 10 today. I made a mince beef wellington which was really nice, I took the pastry off my bit lol

I have had potatoes but in my defence they are purple. The chips were purple/blue and the inside was blue. When boiled they turned blue, when I mixed with cheese to make cheesy mash it turned lilac and when vinegar was added it turned pink. MAGIC POTATOES.  I wish I could upload a picture but not letting me.

Walking and gardening are top of the list this week.  Hopefully I will lose weight, walking alone not helped.

Made It

Hiya

Well we did it, 7 miles today which consisted of 3 parks, 1 skate park (that was a disaster) and lidl. I am so tired. Had to keep moving when we got home otherwise I would have fallen asleep.  I think the weekend will mostly be not walking and back to it next week.

B - omelette and bacon
L - ham salad and coleslaw
T - omelette pizza piled high with cheese, meat and veg

I am going to have  glass of wine when the kids go to bed £3.99 in lidl chardonnay so hopefully not too bad carbwise and taste wise.  And we are celebrating hubby's first week with him being told they have had lots of positive feedback. So thats good.

Why are the kids still awake, she should be knackered!!!!!!! Like me :o

Are The School Holidays Over Yet

Evening

More walking today. Lots more walking. Six miles in fact.  That makes 17 miles in 3 days. And then this afternoon we played waterbomb cricket, all this and cleaning and baking buns. I am worn out,  this entertaining kids should be getting easier as they are getting older, not harder!!!!!

B - slowcooker breakfast casserole
L - ham, salad and coleslaw
T - had bbq so lots of meat! I didnt have the energy to make salad lol

Short and sweet tonight.  I need to sleep, we are trying for 7 miles tomorrow :o

Just The 5 Today

Evening all

It was very cloudy today so plans to play water bomb cricket were put on hold. Instead we walked to 2 different parks and to lidl. Managed 5 miles. Aiming for 6 tomorrow ;-)

B - bacon and stilton, dehydrated peppers and dehydrated tomatoes omelette
L - ham and coleslaw
T - gammon, salad and coleslaw

I know I am eating a lot of coleslaw but I need to eat it before it goes off. The sourkrout is going well, but that will last longer anyway (a few months) so wont be for nearly every meal.

Going to try to beat 6 miles tomorrow although the kids will hate me lol but on the plus side my youngest is asleep as soon as is head hits the pillow :D

Six Miles

Evening all

School holidays means entertaining kids. Hubby has the car which means walking everywhere.  So my day consisted of walking. Managed 6 miles today :o Am aching now and its onky going to get worse tomorrow. But we did manage to walk to shop (ice cream was the bribe) and then we walked to the beach, paddled, walked some more, picnic, paddled and walked before walking home.

B - breakfast casserole
L - peperami - wasnt really hungry as huge breakfast
T - chicken fajitas woth homemade coleslaw and salad

I bought a huge cabbage yesterday for 49p and used it to make a huge amount of coleslaw and 2 jars of sourkrout. Its surprisingly easy, cabbage and salt! Need to wait a few days to see what its like.

Think I need a nap lol

German Food

Evening all

Ok, so I was a bit naughty with tea, it was German night and we had schnitzel,  sauerkraut and potato and bacon salad.

Obviously I didnt eat the potatoes. But I am really impressed with the sauerkraut I made this afternoon, will find a proper recipe for it and make more.

B - greek yogurt with blueberries
L - omelette with cheese, salami, onion, dehydrated toms and dehydrated pepper.
T - German night

My secret weapon arrived today. We are down to 1 car so when hubby starts work on Monday we have to walk everywhere. The plan is walking to the beach, around half an hour, taking the dogs and a picnic in this my secret weapon,  my new backpack. Lots of walking.

Am looking forward to next week.
