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.

2nd Fitness post!!

Hi all, first off i have to say i'm sorry this post is late, only by a day though so better late the never eh!. I got back late Sunday night from a weekends away and one of my girls is a little under the weather so this is the first chance i have to post.

So this is the 2nd Fitness post i am about to upload, i am doing one every week about what i have got up to fitness wise the following week. As you all know last week was the first week of the two week Easter break and because i have my two beautiful girls with me for two whole weeks instead of being in school i cant get to the gym so have to find a different way of keeping up with the exercises, so this may be a short post ha ha, Any way i will get on with is so check out my week below! 👇😊

Monday
So i started out with the squat challenge, this time my girls had the pleasure of joining in with me, they loved it one was counting along as we did each squat 😄. We did plenty of walking and i did some exercises using an app i have on my mobile called workouts. On the app you can choose from Ab, Arm, Butt, Cardio, Leg or Full Body, workouts then the program will ask you to choose between a 5,8 or 10 minute workout, once chosen desired time it will play different exercises for you to do non- stop till the time is up. I currently have an iphone so if you want to check this app out type in workouts to the app store, the app cover is a white square with a blue jogging lady in a blue circle, there is also another good app i also use called simply yoga that is again a white square with a pink woman doing a yoga pose in a pink circle, check them out, pretty good if you cant get to the gym.

Tuesday
Today was rest day for the squat challenge so i didn't have to do that ha ha, Today i spent the whole day doing the garden, digging it over and my gosh it was such hard work!,i  feel that was a good enough work out, sweated so much and my whole body ached especially my arms!.

Wednesday
Started with squat challenge again with the girls, enjoyed a lovely meal at my aunties house then walked to my mums, got some lovely scenery picks from the hill walk, unfortunately because the sun was shining they are a little dark, i also did another work out using the workouts app.

Thursday
Literally did the same as i did yesterday except for the hill walk, Just squat challenge and home workout.

Friday
had time to fit in the squat challenge before i went away for the weekend to visit family

Saturday
family time, missed the squat challenge today but did go on a lovely walk on the beach with the families dogs in Redcar and also visited Whitby and walked round the town sightseeing.

Sunday 
Visited a gym in Middlesborough to get a quick session in, we got in free because it was the first time we had been. It was called the lifestyle fitness, and is honestly the best gym i have ever visited hands down, It was huge they had two floors and every single machine/piece of equipment you could think of even monkey bars and Olympic rings, it also had a ladies only room with cardio and weight sections, as well as a fully stocked health bar and they even sold fitness products like protein powder, shakes etc, i wish they had that gym where i lived. So had a fab early morning work out there.

I did have some pictures to post in this post but it wont let me for some reason so i will post them in the next post, smoothie recipe below. 👇
