WIAW - Sharing and progress on September Goals

Howdy Doo! Before I share my meals for WIAW. I wanted to mention a few things...

1. Thanks so much for the bundle of kind comments I have received on my new blog design. Yes, I did design it and update it myself (thank goodness I used to work as a web developer!) 
2. Also thanks for all the compliments of my recent photography. I have been trying some new techniques and am loving the results!

Now for a big thanks to Jenn @ Peas and Crayons blog for hosting this awesome WIAW party :)

 Breakfast was pretty neat. As always I have my compulsory almond milk coffee. I had leftover steamed sugar snap beans from dinner the night before so I spread hummus on top of a grilled tortilla and then piled it with scrambled eggs (1 whole egg & 1/2 cup of egg whites), a dollop of salsa and my sugar snap beans. OMG delicious. I highly recommend you try this combo with any green veg in your kitchen.

Snackaroo 1 - I munched on a bag of chicken flavoured popcorn whilst at my work desk today. So tasty and just tides me over from breakfast to lunch.

Lunch was my new staple salad. I am so glad I finally tried combining fruit with salad ingredients. I love the sweet crunchiness of the pear with the saltiness of the feta. Absolutely perfect!

Snackaroo 2 was a green apple I sliced with a serving of chocolate P2B (obviously unpictured). This is a really simple and yummy snack.

Dinner was quick and simple. I grilled some steaks, steamed broccoli and made some Sweet Potato Mash (healthify by using Philly Light Cream for Cooking & Chicken Stock instead of milk & butter) I also pan fried an onion, 2 small red capsicum and a handful of sliced mushroom which goes really well with steak.

Dessert over the last few days has been warm creamy chocolate protein oats which I have topped with a small sliced banana and sprinkled with a little cinnamon.

So how am I going with the goals I set myself at the start of the month... 

• Continue eating nourishing, filling and healthy foods focusing on veggies, protein and fibre rich foods.
  Success but I did have takeout 1 night this week but I really try not to worry over 1 indulgent (or naughty) meal. I find once I start forbidding foods I want my subconscious goes out of it's way to break the rules :)
• Doing strength workouts five times a week but also keeping in mind not to over push my body!
  Yup I did 5 again this week and mixed a bit of cardio in for 3 of these days... However I am feeling a bit 'bad' achy over the last few days so I am trying to take it a bit easy until my body has recovered.
• Park 15-20 minutes away from my workplace and walk to and from work at least four days a week
  Yup I have been doing this. I really enjoy the quick walk to and from work - I pop my earphones in and listen to my 'Game of Thrones' Audiobook <--- AMAZING NOVELS
• I want to organise my flowers, entertainment, boys suits and cake for the wedding by the end of this month!
  I have ordered my flowers! Josh has organised his grooms fittings for the end of next month and I have done nothing about organising the cake yet - 1 more week!
• Buy the boy's wedding band :)
  Not yet....

I also wanted to share some pics of my little fam (the boy, Milly and I) We were mucking around one afternoon and the light was perfect! I feel like I don't share enough personal pictures so here you go!

PS... How freakin' adorable does Josh look in this pic? Nawwww....
