Monday madness

Howdy partners!

How's things? Been upto much? Got stories to share??

Well lets see whats been happening in Eve world...

I have turned into a gym bunny. Yes I know I never thought i'd be heading off to the gym three times a week minimum but what do you know...off i trot with a skip in my step for 2 hours of hard work and lots of sweating and I actually enjoy it! I have started a body blast class followed by a mix and match class on a monday, kettlercise and step on a thursday and step followed by body pump on a saturday. Loving it all! Trying to encourage myself to get to pilates but by 4pm on a sunday i'm normally upto something else. So far am seeing my shape changing but the weight is just not shifting. Annoyed.com!

On the plus side i have just bought a pair of size 16 jeans! whoop whoop havent been this size (on the bottom half) since at least uni and considering when i started this i was a snug size 22! Rock and roll!!

SO it's two weeks until my holibobs to canada, getting more and more excited and trying to work out outfits etc.

Dog sitting this weekend followed by a 7k walk for junior diabetes (if you wanna sponsor me feel free www.justgiving.com/Eve-Clark) so not doubt will be shattered by sunday night lol. E
Am still house haunting...really like a ground floor two bedroom flat or a 2 bedroom house slight difference in prices (house is cheaper) but i think i like the flat more. Just to decide if i am going to put in an offer or not eeeeek!

where did summer go?? It's now late august and we're supposed to be in Autumn but it's freezing here...I have on my tights and the heating even went on last night. Not impressed!

So thats about all with me. Keep happy :)

Friday Feeling!!

Good Morning Munchkins :)

How are we all day??

So it's friday.....I have a pretty quiet weekend planned...

Gym tomorrow for step class and body pump then going to see a friend and her baby for a coffee and a catch up :)

Rest of the weekend I am free as a bird :) Might actually get round to finish painting my kitchen..I have skirtings to paint and cupboards to sand and paint. I also have my hall to paint as it needs a freshen up. Good news is that it's all white and I have the paint already. Just need to get my bum in gear and get it done!

Tonight however I am off to see a bigger flat with the prospect of buying it! It has a huge dining kitchen, patio door to the garden (heaven!) and a feature fire place in the living room...oh and varnished floorboards in the living room. It's 2 bedrooms and even has a cat flap for the beasts. Its basically my ideal property!!! But it's a flat and I was looking for a house however it might just be the perfect mid step between the two...more room, another bedroom for the clutter (haha) and my own door! Can you tell I'm a little excited about it all ???? Mum and sis are coming with me and I cant wait...roll on 6.30!

In other news...it's 3 weeks on tuesday till Canada :) I am soooo needing a holiday and cant wait to see my cousins and get all the news. Just need to find the perfect travelling outfit and im ready!

G has been in touch a lot regarding getting back together. He seems to have gotten a wake up call but I cant help but think it's a little too late. I met him last saturday for a coffee, god he looks good! But I kept my sensible head on and kept remembering all the times what weren't good and the fact he did a disapearing act twice when I mentioned moving etc. I've asked him for space (no contact) until I get back from Canada as I need to work out if I want to go back or if it's finished for good. I suspect the later but we'll see.

I also got back into the dating game...but realised after 4 dates with 4 boys that I need to concentrate on me at the moment and am sooo happy being single :) (i also need to work out all the G stuff above haha)

Apart from all that I have been working my bum off at the gym and eventually getting results! I am definately getting a smaller bum and a friend mentioned to another friend that I seem to have lost my shoulders....I can confirm I still have them, otherwise I would have no where for my bra straps to sit haha! Lets hope I can keep it all going and i'll be a slim jim by my birthday next year :)

Oh and the sock monkey (you didnt think i'd forget about him haha!) was a raving success at guide camp! In fact Monkeys, owls and a couple of elephants were made throughout the weekend :) Needless to say a few needle injuries and a lot of patience on my part but all good fun and 10 minutes before the girls were due to be picked up they were still working on them!!

Here's my attempts.....

Bananas the Monkey, Flutter the Owl and India the Elephant (the girls named them)

Have a good weekend all!!!! :D
