My week in pictures #10

It's getting a lot colder, not fun if you don't have heating in the house...

In 'my week in pictures' I will let you have a look into my life on a weekly basis. Most of these pictures will be taken with my phone, because I bring that everywhere.

On Monday I started a new diet plan from Blogilates and I wanted to actually start going to the gym when I'm supposed to. I will write a separate post about this later this week. On the picture you see what I had for breakfast, I doubled the oatmeal because I felt that else by the end of the day I wouldn't eat enough calories. In the evening I went to the gym, where I ran for 1 mile as a warm up and then it was leg day. I used some heavier weights than normal, and it felt great!

TV night in my onesie after the babies went to bed.

Tuesday I was super sore from my workout, but at least that meant I did something the previous night. Today was a rest day, because I had to work till 10.00pm, so I didn't really have a chance to go to the gym. Also something not so great happened.... At 8.00am my host dad knocked on my door to ask if I could start work at 8.30am. It wasn't like I could really say no, I mean he already woke me up, so I did, but I wasn't in the best mood for the rest of the day... At least at the end of the day he paid me extra for the inconvenience, so at least that made me feel better.

Wednesday another normal working day and I went to the gym. I took the cycling class and there where only 6 people there. It was really hard for me this week because I was still sore from my leg day, so I used a little bit less resistance than normally, because I was already dying after 5 minutes. After that I did some weight training for my arms and by the time I got home it was already 9.30pm, so I had some dinner and then went to bed.

Thursday was 'Sinterklaas' which I didn't do anything for and I actually kind of forgot about it haha. I also got an email from the school I signed up for in Holland that they changed the degree to a lottery degree, which really sucks, so I'm still going to try to get in, but I don't know if it is really what I want.... In the evening I went running.

What does an Au pair do on a Friday night? Well, I spend mine in the gym haha. It was raining really hard, but I went anyway and did some running and weight training, before I went home. Not that exciting haha, but also part of the Au pair life ;)

Saturday was not very interesting either, I'm kinda broke and need to save money so I basically stayed home this weekend, to avoid spending anything. I went running, did some babysitting and then I designed some Christmas cards on my computer, so I can actually send them before Christmas is over. I went to sleep really late because I wanted to finish the cards, so I didn't turn my lights of till 3.30am...

I slept in because it was obviously a really late night, so when I woke up I went for a run again, and then I wrote some posts for my blog and just did some things I had to do on my computer.

This was my week, not too interesting, but I guess life isn't always exciting either. Next week I will take a TOEFL test and it is Sandra's birthday. What did you do in the past week?
