What stuff this Mummy has been up to lately...

The days just seems to be flying by and what do you know.....I'm now only 2 months away from celebrating my Huddo's 2nd birthday. Even though we aren't having a party this year I'm already deep in research for making him an extra special birthday cake and today Troy and I scoped out the Target Toy Sale to get ideas as to what we will get him for pressies. Decisions decisions.

I've been staying well and truly on track with my fitness goals and hitting new highs each week, whether it is running a distance in a better time, lifting heavier weights in a strength training session or being able to run at a faster pace on the treadmill for my sprint intervals. (got up to 17km/hr for 1 minute on Friday on my 5th sprint interval....I nearly died, cried and squealed all at the same time!)

The saying generally is with fitness and transformations that 20% of the result is from training, 80% is from nutrition. Troy has been working really hard also and we have well and truly adapted the '6 Meals a day' lifestyle. The organisational skills I've had to step up have been huge to keep on top of the food for this little family of three and as well as keeping on track with the health side as always I'm mindful of waste and being economical. I'm actually in the process of a little experiment and planning to share tips into the costs of planning of how all three of us are eating our own catered meal plans but keeping cost and time effective.

To give you a peek into the world of 'food prep' in my house...things look a little like this:

This is an example of a breakfast that I make for Troy and I and there was 5 portions there for 3 days worth for Troy and 2 days for me. I have been doing this will so many meals because ultimately everything I do I aim to be so efficient as my favourite thing to do is play with my Huddo. He's really getting into puzzles and so many activities that I pretty much am his main play mate. Things aren't all sunshine and rainbows by any means though, we are starting to see glimpses of the 'terrible twos' and tantrums seem to be getting more frequent. But all the more reason to be organised so that I have the time to be with my little man and keep him busy and well distracted. :)
