Late this morning I did:
HASfit - 30 Min Dumbbell Chest Workout at Home - Chest and Triceps Exercises

Quite a good workout, but it felt very slow-paced so I don't think I'll be repeating it any time soon. So that means I've managed 2 strength workouts again this week and again I am at the crossroads of trying to change that to 3. Time will tell.

I'm taking a break from tracking this weekend as it's the end of the month and my birthday tomorrow. Traditional South African Peppermint Crisp Tart (using Peppermint Aero rather then the Crisp, and substituting sugar-free soya yoghurt for the cream) will be made and enjoyed. I also have a hankering for red velvet cheesecake brownies so I will go for a nice walk to buy them on Saturday while hubby is away at work.

This week I haven't had to walk to work and that also means hubby was home for a few more days than usual so we walked to some local shopping centres for groceries and whatnot. It does feel like a workout when you lug a backpack full up three flights of stairs. I've also been doing quite a bit more hoovering and mopping at work than usual and I think those move-minutes might be adding up too. Even though the Google Fit app on my phone is completely rubbish at tracking it...

I'm taking the day off work tomorrow and we'll go for a nice walk along an abandoned canal and through a little village. Hoping the weather's as good as today - we had some beautiful clear skies and I'm glad we got out again for a walk to the library.

Not sure if I'm headed for a good weigh-in tomorrow morning, but I will try to track it even if it's not what I wanted. I am 2.2kg away from where I'd like to be so I need to work on reducing daily average calories in order to reach that so perhaps from Monday I'll make more of a concerted effort.

Hope you all have a Fabulous Friday tomorrow! And a lovely weekend too! xxx
