A Very Enjoyable Day With a Side Of Chocolate Mirror Cake

Heyaaaa!

Look I don’t even wanna read this mornings’ post, I bet I’m the biggest wussa. But I’m blaming it on the lack of sleep and that delusional state you’re in when you wake up (after a terrible sleep on and off) feeling horrible (sore throat be damned!).

I wasn’t able to find a fill and after a few tears I knew that I couldn’t let my team down, so I didn’t. I briefed them that this would be a ‘quiet’ class and they were all so appreciative at the end. I couldn’t not go though- there’s nothing worse than waking up super early and heading to a class only for it to not go ahead.

Along with big thanks they also gave me advice to go rest…ah do you know me? Hahah. But it was off to school and I actually had a great day- my math class was awesome, we worked with our gorgeous buddy class and English went well also; not to mention I got my marking done! Even though it was a miserable day, I felt crapola and I was go go go- I actually loved it. The difference? I started really valuing my time. Instead of focussing or dwelling on the negative points of prac (trust me although things have improved not everything is rose-y 100% of the time) I spent this time living in the moment and using every experience in a way that positively affects my life. And I’m already reaping the benefits.

Oh and to give you a little something something extra, here’s something my bf whipped up and was dying to share. Not to mention it got annihilated in his work kitchen this morning by 10:30am!

We picked this up Sunday on special because the box lid was partially ripped- bargain! (Ps. Anyone been to the Zumbo Dessert Train in Sydney? One word: Amazing).

2. Satay Chicken for dinner!

It doesn’t take much but it’s so tasty! Chicken, satay sauce, bamboo shoots, carrot, beans & brown rice. My family also likes to have coconut cream through it but I prefer a stronger satay taste ;)

3. Half price vitamins at Chemist Warehouse!

It may only be vitamins but getting half price anything makes me ecstatic haha.

4. A special ‘just because’ present to signify 2 weeks of prac.

I was a bit hesitant to watch it but I’m hooked now. We’re only 30 minutes in and I’ve been slightly confused- only because I constantly need to know what’s happening 24/7 (type a ha)- and it’s good!

6. 2 weeks of prac done- 4 to go! A great day of teaching with the kids :)

7. Enter the Notox Box Giveaway. You’ve got a week left- get entering!

8. Another great full body workout and CXWORX class. Always a good time ;) Still lovin’ the deadlifts and hating on wall sits and negative chin ups oddly haha.

What is your Friday Favourite?
