Food for Thought
Thanks for all your comments to my last post, glad you liked my inspiration board, I'll let you all know if it helps to keep me motivated!
I started the day with a cup of green tea and then got straight into my Davina Superbody Super Sculpt workout. I love doing this workout, I really feel like I've been worked hard. I used some of my heavier dumbbells again today for one of the sections for some extra burn!
Breakfast was a bowl of porridge made with equal parts oats and quinoa flakes. I just made it with some water in the microwave and added a scoop of vanilla whey, some defrosted frozen blueberries and a spoonful of almond butter.
The almond butter went all melty, yum!
I was famished by the time lunch came round. I had a quick salad using up the last of my turkey with cos lettuce, carrot, cucumber and red onion and a dressing made from slightly watered down hummus (which worked really well).
I followed that with a bunch of red grapes, these were really sweet and delicious today.
As I was working a bit late tonight I decided to make my mid afternoon snack a bit bigger than usual to keep me going until I got home. I had four savory rice cakes with savory cottage cheese (cottage cheese mixed with a teaspoon of nutritional yeast) and an apple.
After my late night meeting I just wanted a fairly light dinner so I had a bowl of Carrot and Beetroot Soup
Followed by a big bowl of frozen raspeberries with vanilla rice milk and an apple
...and I've just went and had a handful of pecans and the last of a jar of applesauce (about two tablespoons). Why is it that the snackies are so totally random? I think I'm going to have a scoop of chocolate whey with some skimmed milk to try and fill me up and leave me a bit more satisfied. I always seem to feel extra snacky during the week before my TOTM so I'm not going to worry too much, plus my dinner wasn't exactly huge.
Drinks - water, green tea, decaf tea, decaf coffee
As I had a few questions in the comments to yesterdays post I thought I would finish off writing my page on my food philosophy. My 'Food for Thought' page can be found on the right hand side of the blog. I've tried to give a bit of an over view as to why I eat what I do, for example, why I tend to avoid eating too much bread, rice and pasta. Hopefully you will find it interesting and informative! x

I'm currently fighting some major snackies right now though, I've just snaffled this bowl of dry muesli and another two rice cakes.
