Up at 3 am making cookies!

Finished work late yesterday and I run a community cafe on Friday afternoons, needed to do some baking. My lovely husband cooked a ginger cake for me (first time and it smells fantastic) and we did an egg custard that was still hot when we went to bed so I set the alarm for 2 am so I could pop it o to the fridge. Decided to cook some shortbread biscuits while I was awake and now can't get back to sleep so thinking I might squeeze in an early run as soon as it gets light. Photo of my shortbread cookies just to tease you!!

Ooh they look gorgeous! I've got up to make myself some honey and lemon as I have a cold and couldn't sleep but those cookies would really help 😋 yum yum.

Very well, not where I was in terms of fitness but it is moving in a very good direction, confidence growing too! Hard to lose weight with all this food around and I have been doing some comfort eating due to starting a new job and telling myself I need a treat, all lies of course, but there we are 😀
