This post would be very short so as well as a smoothie recipe i will also include a healthy meal recipe for you all to try, happy reading guys 😘

Monday

My little girl said she wasn't feeling too good and that her neck hurt, i felt her neck ad felt a small lump behind her ear, the doctors were closed so i rang 111 and managed to get an appointment elsewhere, as that was in the afternoon we headed to town to buy some pain relief medication, had a little walk round town then headed to the doctors. I focused on looking after her in the afternoon so didn't get any exercise in.

Tuesday 

She said she was feeling a little better, the swelling was still there so with a little pain relief we headed to the fair in our local park, The girls enjoyed going on a few rides (nothing too strenuous for her poor little neck) then we had a lovely long walk round the big park grounds and stopped off at the park. The beautiful walk was my exercise for the day!

Wednesday

Daughter feeling worse so we went to the doctors and got referred up to hopital😕, Though we would get seen then sent home wit medication but she ended up having to stay in on iv antibiotics

Thursday

sleep over at the hospital again 😔

Friday 

sleep over at the hospital 😔, after ultrasounds, blood tests showing a nasty infection and iv antibiotics we had a diagnosis of Lymphadenitis! 

Saturday 

released from the hospital at 8pm at night! 😒

Sunday

We decided to make our girls feel a little better as they had missed out on pretty much  week of the Easter holidays so we went to the cinema and to dinner, little one on pain relief still and as next week off school so the swelling can go down.

So that was my week not too much exercise (walked rings round that hospital though i can tell you) hopefully i can squeeze in more home workouts while looking after the little one at home next week!, Hope you enjoy the smoothie and meal recipe and the pictures, i also included a few pictures i wanted to include last week but my computer wouldn't let me ha ha.

First Fitness post!!

Hi well here i am posting my first fitness post on the date i actually said i would ha ha. I am posting these every week either on a Saturday or a Sunday, and they will let you in on what i have been getting up to fitness wise that week. I will also be posting a meal recipe r smoothie recipe for you to try out, maybe even both, and i will also include some pictures i have taken during that week. Well i hope you enjoy my first segment check it out below.  👇 😄

So at the moment my arms and legs are aching soooo much, i have pushed myself more this week in terms of exercising and have done the gym Mon-Sat (maybe even do it tomorrow, sun, i'll decide when i wake up ha ha) and i have also tried eating more healthily, especially at lunchtimes before starting work. During the days i start by walking the girls to school, jumping on the bus to town, straight to the gym, after that i go to work, after work its back to town for dinner things, then back on the bus to collect the girls from school and the walk home from school. I will write a little description of what i have done each day in the gym now starting with Monday.

Monday
I wanted to start off the week with a little cardio, so once i got to the gym i put my stuff in my locker and headed to the cardio room. I started on the treadmill doing a fast walk, i then upped the pace into a slow jog, i only jogged for a couple of minutes then dropped it down to a fast walk and upped the climb to a steep hill walk, i did the hill walk (so sweaty ha ha). After the treadmill i went onto the cross trainer and chose difficulty 9 and whole body work out level, i did this for 10 minutes non-stop as fast as i could, every 10 calories i burned i would change from walking forwards to walking backwards, after another 10 were burned i would switch back to walking forwards, i carried on repeating this until i had done. After the cardio room i went into the circuit room and saw they had a 30 day squat challenge pinned up and luckily it was the first day so i decided to join in. I completed the squat challenge then did 50 crunches just to finish up.

Tuesday
Started with the Squat Challenge today this was my little Pre-workout before my class at 9:30-10:15. This is my favorite class its called Abs and Stretch class, we combine ab workouts with yoga stretches and play relaxing music and even light a Lavender smelling candle. Sounds relaxing but it does get your body worked out and still feel tired and sweaty after ha ha.

Wednesday 
Started again with the squat challenge on day 3. I also did 50 crunches with my legs straight out and crossed over on the floor, 10 sit-up paired with an oblique twist using the kettle-bell, 50 crunches with knees bent and feet flat on the floor, 10 full sit ups touching toes with the kettle-bell, another  10 sit-up paired with an oblique twist using the kettle-bell. After this i got the weighted hoop out and did that for  while.

Thursday
Today i started with a little 30 min pre-workout because it was 9:30 and my class didn't start until 10:00-10:45. The mini workout included the weighted hoop and some arm exercises using the dumbbells. Today was supposed to be the rest day for the squat challenge but oh no my trainer said we were not having a rest so we started the legs, bums and tums class doing squats (200+ legs were dead) The legs bums and tums class consisted of loads of different exercises including, squats, low squats, lunges, pulse lunges, dumbbell squats, staying in a squatting position and doing rainbow lifts with the dumbbells crunches, bicycle kicks, sit-ups and oblique twists and more!.

Friday
Just did a few different things today, started with my arms doing overhead lifts with dumbbells and a range of other normal lifts, squat challenge day 5, crunches with legs out and crossed over on the floor (didn't count how many just as many as i could in a certain time), 10 oblique twists and dumbbell lifts (lay flat holding dumbbells, do a full sit up, raise the dumbbells above your head for one lift the hold dumbbells out in front lean back about half way and twist one arm out to the side until dumbbell touches floor, bring back to middle and do other arm, keep staring forward, once done lay down fully and repeat) and finished on the weighted hoop.

Saturday
Did the squat challenge at home and got the kids involved ha ha, then headed to the gym. I started with a floor workout doing 10 oblique/dumbbell twists, 1 min 30sec crunches non stop legs out crossed over on floor, crunches legs bent feet flat on floor and crunches legs raised crossed over all for 1 min 30 sec, i then did the hoop cross trainer and the circuit (the circuit is a range or machines that work out your arms, legs and tummy, all arranged in a circle 8 in total a min on each one non-stop).
