VLV Fitness Challenge - Week 2 & 3

So I realise I'm actually pretty behind here already because I started a week late ! Whoops! So Technically the tuesday just gone was the end of week two but I'm going to do my posts on a Friday and we can all just pretend I did week one right ? *winkwink*

This week has actually been much harder than I'd thought. Getting to the gym has been near impossible. Mentally anyway. It's cold and raining outside and I just want to curl up with a cup of coffee.  Luckily I bought Liam an Xbox One for Christmas and who knew there was such a giant fitness app? I will let everyone know how that goes when I try it out.

The recipe trying also slightly failed I tried to make this Broccoli, Avacado and Lime Salad. I , urm , didn't have any avocado. So I did the broccoli and did some pan fried cannolini beans in paprika and chill and served it with a sweet potato mash which was leftover from last nights tea. Holy Moly that dressing is AMAZING. I think I will be putting it on everything fro now on.

Thankfully this week coming I am totally prepared. Food shop done and fingers crossed it should be smooth sailing. Haha joke.

(I'm now coming back to read this a week later)

Said week did not go well. I was SO organised but I forgot I was going to Germany for a week to spend some time with my best friend on his tour with the "12 Tenors." Cue one week on a tour bus with a lot of booze and nothing but McDonalds and sandwiches. Urgh.

Luckily I did the planning before hand so I've just going to re-use the week and start over. D'oh.
Will let everyone knows how it goes on Friday ;)

Keep going everyone !

Llama Llamaface

6 very long months ago I took the photo below of by beautiful big sister (looking like a snail ) before she traipsed off to the southern hemisphere! She ran the Garden of Unearthly Delights in Adelaide, Australia for a number of weeks before heading to New Zealand and then to south America.  In her bag I packed many silly little cards for her to open throughout her journey. The best being the Llama related card.

I don't really know why but me and Rach always revert to being about 4 and 8 when we are together and sing a number of ridiculous songs including "The ladies Bra" made popular by radio 1, and this lovely little llama song.

Please don't watch the whole thing, it's massively tedious.

However her returning home meant two things a night of llama related banter and CAKE! This is my mums beautiful creation! You can find the pictures of family fun below!
