Goals for the coming weeks...

Gahhhhh, I don't feel I've had enough superfree foods this week; I'm seriously in need of fruit! Must do some shopping tomorrow. I'm also in the process of redecorating AND helping to plan a wedding! I'm maid of honour for my best friend who's having TWO weddings - once traditional African do (in September), one traditional church do (in October). It sounds far, but it's not!

And sooooo....

-Must try to not to stress nibble on bad junk
-Must buy more fruit and veg for next week!
-Get my 2st shiny
 
Good luck with your goals this week. I am on a major fruit binge at the moment....perhaps I am having too much!!! I struggle to eat anough veg though. I love reading your meal plans as there are loads of fab ideas.

Good luck with the 2st shiny x
 
Thanks bex! I'm definitely more of a veggie person myself, I love very few select fruits, but I've been going through the book again, and will be challenging myself to try a new fruit once in while!
