Time off work

YAY! Yesterday was my last shift for over 2 weeks, not going back until the 18th. My plans are to treat myself to some quality vacation time, trips to the beach etc. I was trying to talk my parents into a trip to my Aunt's but it's not happening. They already have a coach trip booked. It won't be all play I want to clear out my sewing room with a major decluttering session so I can actually get in there to craft and not feel overwhelmed or depressed with the mess.

Yesterday I started on a detox regime but today have decided the timing isn't right. The regime is the Lemonade Diet, where only a special lemon drink is allowed for at least a week. It's just like the Lemon Detox Diet but without the major cost. Did well on it yesterday and most of today, the scales even showed a reduction from 2 days ago. But like I said the timing isn't right, we are BBQing this week and I coveted the broccoli I bought for tonight's dinner.

Speaking of dinner, usually on Friday we have takeout, DH goes to soccer so I usually don't cook. But forgetting it was Friday I pulled steaks from the freezer. To go with those I am baking potatoes and carrots - something new for the kids to try, they've never had baked carrots, I don't think I've had them either. We just had dinner and the carrots were a success, especially for me. I don't like boiled carrots, I have to eat them with potato but these were delicious. A definite addition to future baked dinners. As well as that we had the steak, mushrooms and the broccoli. Much nicer than takeout.
