1. I lost 1 pound this week with a total loss of 15.5 ponds.
2. Mom and I spent a sunny Sunday afternoon at a not to far away reservoir which was overlooked by a gorgeous old church.
3. I baked some delicious All Bran muffins this week - recipe to follow shortly.
4. Sitting eating breakfast at the airport while watching the planes come in.
5. Assignment four has been completed and submitted

Hope you had a great week! Tomorrow I am off to the beach, hope you have a lovely weekend in the sun.

Wow these days are just flying by!  End of week three on the new job and things are getting better. This week has been so busy and contained so much travelling - I know next week is set to be just as busy but I hope that it won't stay like this forever.

So here are some photos from my week:

1. Saturday afternoon was so nice that I decided to go for a walk with my brother round the reservoir. The fresh air was gorgeous.
2. A very cute old car that I sore at the grocery store and just loved it. It even had a little picnic basket at the back of it.  You never know when you may get the urge to stop for a quick picnic!
3. Driving home from work on Monday, the sun was out and the sky was blue.
4. Tuesday evening I had a go at making Hummus.  I had never made it before and while it was easy to follow it had way too much garlic in.  Its still sitting in my fridge smelling it up.
5. This is the hotel that I stayed in for work. It has a bit of a weird feel inside but it is a beautiful building which has gorgeous surroundings.

How was your week?  Link up with High Five For Friday.

Week two completed in my new job and its going well.  I've learnt loads and finally feel like I'm finding my groove.  Other than work, here's whats been going on.

1. I picked up my new car.
2. I made some time to do some art..........and loved it.
3. I bought some gorgeous spring nail polish, Essie and MaxFactor.
4. Treated myself to hot chocolate, mini marshmallows and a bar of chocolate.
5. Dinner for one in a gorgeous country club while away for work.

Did you have a good week?

I'm a little late with this post this week but I am sure that that is fine.

1. Enjoying Everyday Life magazine is fabulous. One of my most favourite things to do in the mornings is before I start my day, I like to make a cup of tea and sit down for ten minutes to read, to get some inspiration.
2. This week my mom bought me some beautiful flowers. A few days later and they are all open and looking beautiful.
3. Due to a 50% sale, I was able to get all of these items for a real bargain.  I love The Body Shop.
4. I have been so exhausted this week. Several early nights for me.
5. Friday night we went out for bowling and dinner with the team - had a great time.  

Fridays are one of my most favorite days....and today this is especially true as I only had to work half the day.  So whats been doing on this week, lets see.

1. The weather this week has been strange.  Is the middle of March and instead of seeing Daffodils starting to grow we have had snow fall four out of the six days.  Despite this topsy-turvy weather, it has meant that we have had some gorgeous sun sets.
2. Friday afternoon I headed into town and came across an Italian food market.
3. This had me in stitches.......its my dad trying to do "hip texting".  He hates texting and I normally have to fight with him to reply to my messages, so when this arrived in my inbox, I had to smile. For those of you who are not as "up to date" with the lingo, P c m i l u translates to please call me, I love you!
4. Nothing says afternoon treat as much as a Cinnabon
5. I love this saying , the colors really make it pop.

How has your week been?

Another week has come and gone, and what an amazing week it has been. Some big, big things have gone on.....but more details of the big things to come later.

1. A beautiful sunny day on my day off.
2. Lemon cake slices on my cute heart plate.
3. I got a new job ** More to come on this shortly
4. My key chain
5. Barley Wheat and chickpea salad - a new recipe

How has your week been?

For those of you who have heard of Project Life, you will know that it has been around for a few years now. Each year I consider taking part in it, but deep down I know that due to my studies for my degree and working full time, I probably won't be in a position to actually see it through.  And so, I have yet to take part in Project Life.

Yesterday I was surfing the web and found myself on Moorea's blog.  I found that she has started a weekly challenge and when I spent a bit of time reading about it, I knew that this was something I could do all year.
I dug out an old journal which I have had for ages, opened up to the first blank page and began to create my headers. I have eight weeks to catch up on and so far have covered four.  You know what else I have loved about this project so far?  It's another way to document what is going on in my life without me having to put aside loads of spare time.  If you have a spare journal lying around or just fancy printing off the pages directly from Moorea's blog then please join in and leave a comment below.

Week One's list is all about the words which touch your soul. I love this idea. Those words which mean something personal. Just random words which make you feel happy, safe, protected, joyful or any other wonderful emotion.  Putting these words on paper gave me the opportunity to reflect on who I am and where my life is at the moment.  I love that I can come back to these in a weeks time, or in six months and gain an insight into my life at the moment.

Week Two's prompt was all about my greatest comforts.  Now I need to be honest here and say that I found this one pretty tough. Don't get me wrong, I managed to get four or five down with no problems, but then I hit a bit of a wall. I wasn't sure what other things brought me comfort. I realized that this is an area that I need to do some work on. While thinking about these, I realized that the battle I was facing with them was not really a surprise with all the stress I have been experiencing at work recently. Here are some things that I currently do and some ideas which I am going to start turning towards when finding myself in need of a little comfort.

Ooh, it looks like I need to find a tutorial on how to better collage my pictures.
So, how has your week been?  I am so looking forward to this weekend....plus I have Monday off work so I have an extra long weekend.

I love taking part in Lauren's weekly photo posts.  High Five for Friday has reminded me to take photos during my week, to be mindful of the ordinary things going on in my life. Its a great way to share what has been going on as well as documenting my every day life.  If you haven't yet joined in feel free to follow the link back to Lauren's blog and start having fun.

So, whats happened this week.......

1. It looks like I may be buying my flat soon and in preparation for it I wanted to check my credit report. I am very proud of the progress that I have made over the past five years.
2. This week I had a very important meeting and in order to look the part I made sure I had my best work wear on and my nails were painted....until I climbed in the car to head over to the office and noticed that the polish was completely off one finger. How did that happen?
3. Smoked Salmon and cream cheese omelet - yum!
4. I found this pretty inspiration page on pintrest - lovely.
5. Saturday I went out for a 6 mile walk with my friend Julie - boy, did we walk and walk and walk!

How was your week?

1. Who can resist I love you chocolate!
2. A delicious new fruit tea that makes me happy on in the inside and outside.
3. Saturday evening we had a family dinner at Tobey's Carvery.  It was delicious and I was able to make healthy choices leading to a five pound weight loss this week.
4. Sunday afternoon I curled up on the sofa and spent a few hours watching Puss in Boots. Loved it!
5. This week I have been completely myself, warts and all if you like.  While there are certainly things that I   would love to improve on, there is a lot about myself that I like.

Today is a day off work which makes this week an awesome week for me.  Here are some highlights from my week.

1. I painted Valentines nails and enjoyed knotted pigtails for myself one evening.
2. This is my new wall paper on my Iphone. I love this quote and I am using it to remind myself of what I want for my body.
3. I wrote a letter to my gran this week - Love the cowboy paper and hope she does too!
4. This week involved more studying.....which by the way is set to continue for the next eight months
5. My new Iphone cover - how cute is this little thing!
