Weekday Wishlist

Last week (as you may have noticed) was pretty awesome. So here's to another list.


- Spend time with my family who are visiting from Adelaide
- Take my little sister shopping
- Spend at least 30minutes on the couch with cuddles
- Go Swimming, or at least to the beach
- Take some photos of my heel stretch and scale (body positions for cheer)
- Stretch every day so I can actually have a nice scorpion
- Write down one good thing that happens each day.

So what are yours?

Weekly Wrap.

Holidays are officially over and it is back to reality. Despite this, I'm looking forward to next week and getting back in to a routine. This week will be hard to top though.



I got to wear my green maxi dress, which I have had now for a very long time with very little reason to wear it, so I decided to wear it because I can. It was a nice feeling, getting dressed up(ish) to go to the movies. I achieved everything on my wishlist. Although sadly couldn't get a picture of the wedges because I ate them in Gold Class at the movies. I saw Les Mis and The Hobbit and both were fantastic. I had a great start to the new year, and a great end to 2012. I found multicoloured pasta and ended up with far too much tea (I have an addiction clearly).

Oh, and I got to meet some new (slightly hairy) friends.

Hope you were all as lucky

Fit Friday...

So I'll be honest with you all,  I don't actually have a work out on Friday. It is my one rest day. But Fit and Friday start with the same letter and it gives me time to actually post what I've been doing.

To give you an idea of my weekly fitness regime it is essentially the below

- Run 3x a week (4-8kms)
- Cheer Training 2x a week
- Stretch 7x a week
- Strength 3x a week (lifting mostly)


It's one of my favourite things about my life. I get to relax, and no-one can bother you when you are running. Training is physically demanding and pushes me to my absolute limits, so I know what I am capable of, physically and mentally. But mostly I just enjoy the fact that I feel so much better when I'm exercising. Plus I see amazing views like this!

Fit Friday will usually be posts about workouts or fitness or probably fitness clothing. But for now... here is a picture of the very first time I ever was the top person (person in the air) in cheerleading. Beneath me is my boyfriend, Brett, and one of his best friends, Ben.

Speak soon

Dinner is Served

So I wore an amazing outfit yesterday... but I'm having some upload photo issues. So instead I'm going to post the best dinner in the world ever. It's healthy, and delicious, and really really easy. And customisable. I literally eat it at least one a fortnight, usually more often.

Stuffed Capsicums!

You'll need
- 2 Capsicums (to slice sideways)
-  4 slices Pancetta
-  1/2 cup Ricotta
-  4-5 cherry tomatoesTomatoes
-  20gm Basil
-  50gm light Mozarella
-  1 TBSPOlive Oil

Simply

1) Preheat the oven to 200c
2)cut the capsicums in half longways and remove the seeds!
3) Drizzle with olive oil
4) Stuff 2 sides with light ricotta and pancetta
5) Stuff the other 2 sides with tomato, basil and pancetta.
6) Bake for 15minutes at 200c
7) Remove tray and add Mozarella onto tomato stuffed capsicum
8) Bake for another 5 to 10minutes
9) Remove and eat!

The best part is, if you don't like what you've stuffed them with this time, just change it! I've put pesto, feta cheese, ham, chicken, other capsicums, asparagus etc. into these before, and each time I've loved it!

Here's mine from last night... tasted AMAZING!

What I wore wednesday...

Bit of a boring wednesday because it is ridiculously hot here at the moment. So I went for as light as possible. Thank heavens we're in casual clothes at the moment!





White Seafolly Dress
Soles Shoes (From Santini)
Betsey Johnson Necklace
Pandora Rings
OPI nailpolish (I eat Maine-ly lobster & Dulce De Leche)


I also managed to paint my nails in a (semi) eccentric manner. See... they're not all the same colour! I'm just as impressed with myself as I sound. This is big progress in the world of my nails.

Hope you're all having a fabulous week!

Kisses and Hugs and whatnot

New Years

Welcome 2013. I've been looking forward to you. I cannot believe that it's here already. Last year was incredible. Highlight include; Moving out, turning 20, spending 1yr in a relationship, becoming a national champion, getting into running, getting healthy and a whole lot more.

I spent new years eve up in Yarra Glen with friends of Brett's. We talked and laughed and welcomed in the new year in as relaxed a manner as is humanly possible. Then I drove us home and we spent the day walking the dogs.



This is the end of this slightly sentimental post. I'm looking forward to 2013... and What I Wore Wednesday.


Oh, and for those of you wondering. This is how the tart turned out...




Kisses
