Hey peeps
This has been a very busy week! At the moment we get our shopping delivered on a Tuesday evening, and I had ordered a few bits to go in the freezer. I often freeze things but I never label them (should be a resolution really)- there were questionable baked goods from ages ago, and rather sadly I found a stollen that I think I made 2 years ago. Yup. So we had a good clear out.
I knew I had a busy week ahead so bought some bean burgers- they had a spice rating (I am sure it was called that) of mild, so I thought they would be OK. Along with some sweet potato fries and a salad, this was lovely (and hooray, not too spicy). I had some melon as a starter (well it would not have gone well on the plate I don’t think).
We also found this ice cream buried under bags of frozen fruit so we finished it. A benefit of not organising the freezer is nice surprises like this.
There has been some running this week- my legs were so stiff on Monday so I had a rest, then on Tuesday went out for an out and back 3 miles. I felt like I was going so slow, but each time I looked at my watch I was doing sub 10 min miles so actually not as slow as I felt. I got home and wondered if I should have attempted my time trial.
On Wednesday I was off to Sweatshop- I started off trying to keep up with the speedy girl, but that didn’t last too long (until the first traffic light- she can really speed away from a standing start). I ran with someone else and we both kept saying it was a bit fast for us, but we kept going. We managed an 8.31 and 8.45 miles (the others I am not sure as I started it on the way up so they are skewed by me stopping it partway through)- phew. We even managed to keep another girl in sight, and normally I can’t see her after the first mile, so that was good.
Last night I didn’t go to pump as we had a family thing. My only strength workout was carrying the huge pile of books, work and folders to my car, up my stairs (and this morning back to work). Although I am not sure I would have managed as the last two nights I have had so much to do- was up til half 12 last night so I think I would have had to skip pump anyway.
Tonight I am off to The Waffle House after work with some friends, so no running today. I am off to parkrun tomorrow, so hopefully my legs will be rested and I can have a real go at the time. Although I have also put down that I will run 10 miles this weekend- not sure if that is going to happen.
Are you good at cleaning out your freezer/ labelling what is in there?
Had a good week?
I’m so bad at labelling thing that go in the freezer. It’s always a game of pot luck when I go in there to pull things out for dinner, makes it more fun though!
I don’t mind a freezer surprise with cooked meals, but some things have been in there two years so it is a bit of a gamble if they are still OK or not”
I’m pretty good with my freezer. I like to use up things and have space for when the shop comes. I tend to freeze things like tortillas, meat, bread, vegetables, sometimes raw eggs (scrambled in an airtight container) and lots of cake 🙂 If we run out of cake in the freezer we go and buy one and cut it up to stock up again. Sounds quite bad doesn’t it??
I like your style with the cake! I am the opposite- I like making cakes too much so if we don’t eat it and I freeze it, by the time I fancy some I have probably made another one anyway!
How do you get your sweet potato chips not to be all soggy? Every time I try to make them, they are limp and have no crunch (or even mild resistance) to them.
Bad news – Peanut Butter B&Js also goes off, as I found out when I cleaned out my freezer this week! Boo!
I buy the sweet potato fries from Waitrose 😉
Oh no to your ice cream 🙁
We have the teeniest freezer yet still manage to forget about things in it! Particularly packets of tortillas for some reasons, we have about four open packs in there!
We go through phases of having tortillas in there- they come in packs of 8 but we only use 2 at a time!
I kicked my freezer in anger last night cus it was too full to shut and I couldn’t be arsed to re arrange it- the plastic splintered and impaled my foot! Instant freezer karma.
Yay for waffle house, park run, and sweatshop running, it sounds aweome!
Oh no 🙁
Hope your foot is ok!
I have to say other then for a bag of ice a frozen fruit I don’t really use my freezer which is good cause its tiny and boyfriend has filled it with fishing bate : (
My week has been good and I am looking forward to this weekends fun x
Hmm not so appetising!
I don’t really use the freezer, I have some bready bits in their for Nick and frozen fruit for smoothies, but that’s about it.
I’m shocking at keeping things labelled but I do have regular clear outs of the freezer although I never defrost it which is shocking!
