Epic Fail!

-
I thought it is time to review all that I had planned for this year....My New Year's Resolutions. 
Here is how it's all started I wanted to make this blog venture craft-sport-food-life thingy... 

Let's see....
  • Be a better friend.... 
I know what I meant by this and I think I'm doing pretty well. I'm in touch with most of people I care about and really interested and happy with other people little exciting news from the new car or baby and marriage! 

And the older I get more babies and weddings there are! But hey, I'm still 23! Don't let anyone tell you otherwise!

One of my girls from school back home got married to a beautiful fighter for animals Damien. 


this is us two like years back... She's now somewhere in Australia me thinks and I'm in UK. 

  • Find a new job
Well I got new one! It's really different to anything I have done before but still in the same industry... 
  • Sent more cards and home-made gifts
Well Failed here... Haven't send girls present this year! bad friend! But I am still making this thing for Maggie's bump... making it very slowly!
  • Cook more (and I don't mean pasta and pesto)
Think I do cook more. It's really more fun when it is for some one who shares my love for couscous... 


But the cereal bar goes down very well!! 


  • Get a flat tummy (reward is a belly button piercing)
Still fat... well not fat but the abs aren't showing! 
  • Run four 10K
I think you are all well aware of the March race fiasco... I still can make two 5K but don't think another 10K will be possible!
  • Pain more (at least 4 decent things in this year)
Still can make this happened! 


  • Go somewhere nice on holidays
Still no passport... with luck I hope I will be able to say I went somewhere else then Manchester, Bristol Zoo and Weston-Super-Mare
  • Sew a dress
Not a slightest idea how I'm going to accomplish this... Might put it into a list of things to do before I am 30 :)
  • Train the rats
Well we have spent over a week feeding one with the spoon nursing a poor thing back to fat normal self... Can I consider this as training?! 
  • Learn to crochet
YES! Granny squares I can do! :)
  • Do meet free Mondays
Bacon... need I say more? But I do love veggie options.... not as often as I supposed to.
  • Go to see live shows more often
Think doing pretty well here... My last post... But definitely going to see one more this year. Got tickets to see funny man Greg Davies!! 
  • Recycle and up-cycle more
Well fail... Mice moved in with us. Not pet mice... 
  • Grow a veg or a fruit
I will say .... I don't have a garden! But I have grown a bunny! Cute one :)


  • Throw a party
Still to come I guess... Perhaps my birthday if I will be bothered this year...
  • Make 2 craft project a month (4 a month is a bit too ambitious) 
Fail fail fail!! Only Mrs Fox been done this year so far I think and that picture.... 

There is definitly still time till the end of the year and a lot of room to improve.... I want to see more bands! It was so much fun!
Also have big plan for beads I got at Afflecks in Manchester.... 
Have you managed to keep up with your resolutions? Are you planning to make some for 2013? Do tell!!! Comment!!!

Back to the gym

I finally decided it’s time… to go back to the gym.  I did start running after I had baby G but I over did it and got injured and got really unmotivated.  I am feeling just fine, a little bigger than I used to be before baby G but again it’s ok. But I am not as strong as I used to be. And I need to be ready to chase after the boys and carry at least one of them if needed to be…. So I rejoined my old gym. And on my 1st day on the way in I bumped into one of the trainers. It was nice he is one of the really nice people and was very supportive!  Week one I only managed to once for a class. It was fun! And hard. And I really felt my muscles that I didn’t feel in ages!  Week two I did two days class and just worked out by myself. I love spin classes but I did really well at it and the entire body was hurting for days. Save to say I need tk get some protein to help me with recovery.  Even after this little efforts I feel more energetic and feel like body is changing already. I am booked for

Size vs hot mama bod!

Thinking oh it overall I have enjoyed being pregnant. Also I had an easy pregnancy and once I let go of that feeling that I have lost control over my body I was awesome! My body is amazing. However at the moment I find shopping for clothes and shoes an absolute nightmare. I have no idea what size I am. With shoes it is easy no real undressing involved. Just pop the shoe off and try try try.  But clothes... A lot of my pre Egg clothes don't fit which is, I have accepted, OK, I went throw major thing with producing a massive 9.4lb baby... So I am actually in need of new clothes. I started to look for stuff I can go to interview in, checked the clothes I had, I still have few things but I needed trousers and maybe a dress... Oh dear god! I know I am short that always been a struggle but finding trousers that fit around the waist and don't bobble up in front is actually almost impossible. And the high street shops are no help. Either I don't like he material, l

Few More Days Till Cardiff 10K

Only few more days till the race. I'm working till then, well 8 days in the row really. Just like the last year. This time I am managing to train more, but I still remember how hard this race was last year and how in pain I was after it. Perhaps that's why I do not get super excited about this unlike the Race for Life races! But the training is going well I guess, I can just leave the house and but out running for an hour or so. Like last night I came home tired from work got dressed into running kit and off I went... Since the sun was out there where lots of people out running... I also saw a cute squirrel and a magpie eating the blackberry. Last one was like a picture, quiet surreal for some reason. Also the outdoor fitness guys almost run me over... There I was running listening to music enjoying my self next thing I see lots of people running from the side of me into my path! Oh dear!!  On the way home I realised that I must have been gone for a while t
