School holidays are almost over!

School holidays are almost over, and that means that I can get back into my exercise routine. Which means the end of the "bad stuff". On a regular, basis anyway. I still have the urge to bake and make slices and all that naughty stuff, but I'm forcing myself to step away from the baking trays and biscuits, and step back to the kettle bell, the weights and the jogging shoes.
I'll admit, this past week has been bad. But I knew that the holidays would present a challenge (so come Christmas with the 6 week break, I'll be struggling big time!), and so enjoyed one last hurrah, without having too much of a hurrah. I have been keeping good with servings, mostly, and in general, food has been mostly healthy. It's just the sweet snacking and the exercising I need to ramp up, now.
With grocery shopping on Wednesday, I'm considering looking up some healthy smoothy ideas that aren't too expensive, and doing smoothies for breakfast, as I'm very fussy with breakfasts, but won't have time to do any cooking before the school run (and if I don't have breakfast almost immediately after waking up, I feel ill). So easy-to-throw-together-smoothies, I think, is the way to go.
I've found one site that has 20 different ones, and includes nutritional information and serving amounts, and while I'm only browsing at the moment, it looks like a good start. For anyone interested in the smoothies I'm looking at doing, go have a look here. I don't know how close I'll stick with those recipes, but it's a good place to get some ideas and inspiration!
So, easing off on the junk today so it's a fresh, better start tomorrow. Who's with me? On the way to the first goal of a 12kg loss by Christmas!
