Menus and Personal Trainer

Like many busy Mums I have always planned the menus for each week, which helps me with my shopping and cooking. Years ago, James carefully painted a weekly menu planner onto a chalkboard for me. It is on the wall of the utility room and I use it all the time. Cat mentioned it to her colleagues this week and took a photo of this weeks menus to send to her team. Several of them commented that they like the menus, although a couple expressed doubt about the “lettuce fajitas with tofu” which we had on Wednesday because of both the lettuce and the tofu! I thought that the comments were hilarious, especially the colleague who asked, “Does Ally’s Mum do Deliveroo?”

Today we woke to the most beautiful blue skies although there was frost on the ground, the first frost we have had for ages. I headed over to David Lloyd for a session with Rebecca, my personal trainer. I know, what am I like! But I really, really need to get fitter so I have signed up for twice weekly sessions. My first one was on Tuesday and wasn’t too difficult but today was noticeably more gruelling. I’m planning to keep swimming 1000 metres three times a week and keep walking too. We shall see if I manage to keep this up. At the moment I’m drying off by the poolside after my swim and it is so sunny and peaceful that I feel as if I’m away on holiday!
