I love my Super Noodles

Yes I am at my desk, well the dining table that also is my desk, with a bowl of noodles and crackers and love it. Yes I know process food, but not something I eat everyday. It is when I want a day indoors and this meal is, a big hug in a bowl. 

I also like to have a hot breakfasts on some days. This time of year though my taste buds change and like to have yogurt some mornings and eating a muesli with Granola and some fruit, like a banana. 

When my husband family visited, we'd go to a local cafe for a All day breakfast of sausage, fried egg, mushrooms, or cook a breakfast and so on and it would make a nice change and fill us up for the day. We would then venture out and since then though the cafe, we used to go to changed and not so good. 

It is good to change it up, but when I'm at home and working on my blogs, books and videos, like food that warms my insides and makes me sigh, feeling blissful and content. I like to sit out in the sun and read and write. This will be happening and have plans of tidying it up and also want the shed to be where I do my crafting and make scrapbooks and I have designed my own journals and will be blank so you can use it how you wish, but I am going to use mine, because I have two proto types, as a memory journal. 

During the summer holidays I sat in a local gardens and read, this year going to invest in a picnic basket, blanket and a flask with some homemade food, and sit and read and write and be in the moment and blanking out what is going on around me and make the most of what I have and have booked a nice holiday in a farm and have another trip to the seaside and would like to sit outside with some noodles to eat if I feel like it and lose myself. 

It is good to have noodles and watch some TV but I like to write in the day and share parts of my life. I am doing some training at the moment on one of my other blogsites: Everyone can build a castle | Creating goals, habits and being empowered aiming for success and filmed my first Youtube video about it, if you'd like to check it out: Video 1: Change YOUR Life/Coming last

It is free training and will more videos will go up. In the days where it is dreary I like to have leftovers and why meals like Spaghetti Bolognese that you can batch cook and helps to control my snacking. 

So have a bowl of noodles and just take in the moment, taking a deep breath and just be in the moment and that you have your phone on silent and just enjoy.

Getting my life together

I have had time to really look at myself and look at my life as a mum and generally to really work on different areas of my life. 

Building relationships, like money and my self image. I no longer am self critical and thankful for who I am and want to be. It has taken a long time. I write a blog called Building Self Confidents The Ugly Duckling, and how my happiness with my self image has taken a lot of work, and not alone in having such feelings. 

With money, not spending a lot and now check my bank account everyday and give myself a £100 allowance each month and budget on where my money goes and cancelling Debits and subscriptions I no longer use and have a spreadsheet to monitor where my moneys gone each week. I use Excel, may bank app and my Filofax to monitor my expenses and save. 

I also write a blog called Organize4thebetter and have written about getting my life together on that platform and was one of my first blogs I wrote, because I never used to be organized and something I have had to work on as I can live in a mess and I have hoarded and now changing that habit. I want to use what I have already got and do a regular declutter, as it really helps my wellbeing and to be able to enjoy what I own and life isn't having lots of stuff. 

Then there is food. I can easily eat a lot of biscuits but this is changing. I have gotten fed up of snacking and gain control of my eating habits. Today I made sure I had a good breakfast and didn't snack, but when my son was home, he had some cheeselets and I caved, but had a good lunch with a baguette and apple and so going to make fuller lunches, and plan my meals again. 

Every good habit I add to my life, can help be the person I wish to be and not for anyone else, but for me and putting my needs first because I want to make sure I have energy to play sports with my son and take him to different places and build his hobbies and being thankful that I have a good supportive family and many don't and stop my begrudging feelings are put to rest and feel proud of my family and friends doing well and that I show up and be me. 

So I hope this blog helps you to Getting your life together and lower the expectation and give yourself credit and build on your habits, to be the person you want to be and have a life you can love.

A New Day in a life video/Midweek/Outfit of the day/What I like to eat in a day

Hello and welcome! So in today's post I am going share my new Day in a life video from Wednesday where I showed my outfit of the day and what I like to eat in a day.

Like to have a good breakfast before I start the day and a cup of tea, and this is video I show that I love having porridge in the morning, with a few snacks, but I have lunch too and then dinner. 

It can be so easy to get stuck into doing my writing for the day, that I have often not taken a break, so now I do. 

I have also got into walking twice a day. The morning and afternoon.

So I hope you like these type of videos, given me some feedback if you will, you can leave a comment below.

Many thanks, 

Carrie X
