Sunday stew day. Every Sunday rather than making a big roast dinner , should be the day where you get a big pot, hot water stock and use up all the bits of vegetables and meat the left overs and odds and ends from the cupboards. Use the Sunday stew for using up those few potatoes and bit of chicken and carrots that have been in the fridge for a few days. The stew on a Sunday lasts all day and is a great way to clear out, before going shopping and buying fresh food for the week. A stew is warming and hearty, and comprises all the parts of a Sunday lunch with very little effort, just chop the veg and trim the meat, add hot water and stock , season with salt and pepper and simmer for 1 hour. Easy to make and healthy, the combinations of a good stew are always different 

Getting tired of going to the gym working hard in there, only to come home and crash, and feel wrecked for the next day or so. I want to get a workout in to move my body and use all my muscle groups, but I would also like to come away feeling motivated and invigorated. Pumped up with energy and ready to take on my day. So I am using the Stimulate don't annihilate approach for the next month. Just going to the gym more frequently but going a little lighter on the weights. More reps but lighter weight. Still teasing and setting a task for my body but not leaving where I am going to pass out and need to sleep for 2 days for myself to be back to normal. The type of body I want is not a body builder type but just all all rounded toned physic, I want to be healthy and happy and full of energy and motivation. My previous approach to the gym was run on the treadmill as fast as can till I want to pass out. Add weight to each bar and work to failure with as many reps. and stay ...

Today has been another session of clearing out the clutter, I have spent a few hours today going under the beds in the back of the cupboards, through boxes and book cases. And I have a few bins full of stuff that’s either broken or useless I have repositioned some items from the rooms in to the basement out the way, I have a mound of items to just be given to charity and I have a list of items being sold on eBay. Why do we keep all these items lying around with no use in our homes and personal spaces? Some of junk I’m selling and giving to charity is always getting in the way or taking up space in my cupboards, but it’s all been there for months and years. It feels good to just have a de-clutter, makes you appreciate the things you keep, why hold on to an item with no use when it can be given to someone who may benefit from it. Old clothing that isn’t worn or doesn’t fit, books that I have read, books on topics which I could easily find the information online. DVD...

Instead of setting an alarm for different times, set your alarm clock for the same time every single day. Whether you are on a holiday or day off, if it’s the weekend or if you’re needed at work, pick a time that will be most suitable for all instances.  My chosen time is 7am every day as with this time I have enough time to get to work, it’s not excessively early.  On days where I’m not needed at work till 11am I can still wake up, this time walk across the room and set the alarm for another hour if needed. Just gets in the habit of waking up at that time even if it isn’t needed. Days off waking up at 7am I have more time in the day to do things and if I go to sleep around 11pm I still have a full 8 hours sleep. The same time everyday setting the alarm is growing the habit and I know that I will be awake at that time so I cannot need to plan too far in advance as I have enough time when I get up at 7am.

Over a month without video games This is my update after 39 days putting my Xbox away, what have I learnt so far, I think the main thing is the fact I’m not really concerned about games at the moment, not to say my life is more interesting or I have started a new hobbies, just in conversation about video games or adverts of new games that have come out. I am not really that interested, I am still not interested in getting my Xbox out just yet and I haven’t downloaded any games for my smart phone. I am glad I deleted the aps of my phone with the games as they were simple and addictive, where you spend an hour or so trying to get to the next level and then want to get to the next level The last month or so has been odd, I know I haven’t played computer games but I can’t think what I’ve done to replace them , perhaps it’s an extra 30 minutes watching  YouTube more, or another 30 mines here and there to fill the time. Being the wintery months I even didn’t go to the gym m...
