If only I'd thought about photos on Monday of last week you would have seen how my morning in the kitchen made me ......
2 Pizza Bases to put in the freezer
1 loaf of 50/50 Wholemeal/white bread
2 pastry cases also for the freezer
Toad-in-the-hole to feed me two days
Roast veg ditto
Sausage rolls for another day last week
And a left over piece of rolled out pastry to pop in the freezer ready for sausage rolls again sometime
Very glad of the dishwasher!
Always useful to put a few things in the freezer and I soon need to think about re-stocking the batch meals as I'm down to not many left, but I need to do a defrost first. And there's still another pack of 2 Aldi veggie things I got in before Christmas to try.
Next morning was Keep Moving Group and the guy from Spot Wellbeing, the organisation that started our group over 2 years ago, came to lead us through our half hour of exercises. He worked us harder than we normally do I think. We need to up our game. Although it's still aimed at 65+ so not overly difficult.
On another morning I went to try out another 'old people' exercise group that was also started by Spot Wellbeing just this year( a few miles in the other direction from home). They are now going it alone and are trying out various sequences of exercises and this week they were mainly seated and based on yoga.
Then there was the usual shopping morning - no coffee out last week. Just Aldi and Asda.
Finally I went swimming - hadn't been for several weeks - it was hard work.
Not sure I can keep up that level of morning adventures!
Back Soon
Sue
Goodness me! Could you send some of your stamina and energy my way if you have any spare?
ReplyDeleteLuckily the exercise groups are not too energetic!
DeleteWell done on all the physical activity! I've started gentle yoga and am swimming again every week. I realise how much I enjoy swimming, crazy I let it drop for years. I want to stay mobile to have fun with grandbaby for as long as possible.

I wish the pool was nearer so I could go more often - although this time of year it's not so good - too many layers to take off and put on
DeleteThat morning in the kitchen was certainly productive and has put me in the mood for sausage rolls - in my case using a sheet of bought puff pastry!
ReplyDeleteIt’s great that you’ve all kept that exercise class going, from the social side as much as the movement side. J’nan
I'm fan of sausage rolls and prefer my own to any bought!
DeleteIt's good to keep busy but I know I have gotten a little lazy this winter. Now that the weather is warming up a bit, I have to get out there more again, Sue. Thanks for the inspiration! ;)

ReplyDeleteOops! didn't mean to publish twice! Can you delete - it won't let me...
DeleteLots of lovely cooking there Sue - another fan of sausage rolls here, I got a pack of puff pastry this morning especially to make some!
ReplyDeleteCooking and working out … you were busy! I’ve started yoga recently and it has really helped me feel better. I need to add some type of weight training to my workout, but one step at a time. Enjoy your day! Cali
ReplyDeleteYou always keep busy and that is impressive. The exercise group really works well. The fact that it is self-managing and self-funding is wonderful.
ReplyDeleteI also freeze meals to avoid frequent grocery shopping. The flu is making the rounds, and I'd rather avoid crowds and the flu.
My Winter exercise routine is: shoveling snow from the patios, deck and walkways and also walking woodland trails with my dog Caesar. Sometimes I cross country ski on the trails. Unfortunately, the trails are currently a mix of hard snow and ice making them less than ideal. The Winter cold comes and goes. We've had 40-50 degree F days and melting snow/ice and then another freeze.
The sunshine is brilliant today, but it is freezing.
I look forward to Spring.
