My last week of being 27
Hi everyone, you enjoying your week so far? In exactly one week I shall be turning the grand old age of 28. I can’t wait – I love birthdays! More on that later…
For breakfast I made a big green monster with loads of spinach, frozen banana, a chopped peach, maca powder and rice milk. I ate it in a bowl with plenty of Dorset Cereals Roasted and Toasted Muesli.
Check out the greenness! They always seem to be a deeper green when I use the spinach from the market, I’m sure that's because its better quality and locally grown. Adding the peach made it really sweet too.
Mid morning I snacked on some fromage frais with walnuts, goji berries and agave syrup.
Lunch was a bowl of my Summer Bean Stew followed by a couple of very ripe chopped nectarines and blueberries.
I’m actually a little obsessed with fresh blueberries at the moment, they just taste so amazing!
Before I left work for the gym I had this bag of We Are Bear Fruit Nibbles: dried Pineapple and Mango pieces. I’ve tried these before and loved them – they are so tasty and make perfect workout fuel.
I did my planned cardio interval, abs and mini upper body workout which was pretty tiring. I still have some DOMS going on in my legs from Sundays run which made my workout that little bit more tough!
For dinner I made myself and the hubby omelettes – ham, cheese and mushroom for him made with 4 eggs. Courgette, red pepper, red onion, mushroom and cheese made with 1 egg and 2 egg whites for me! Both served with a big salad of little gem lettuce, cucumber and beetroot plus the hubby had a baked potato. Here's my lovely omelette, it kind of fell apart due to all the veggies! –
Perfect quick and healthy dinner!
For desert I wizzed up a protein shake using this sachet of ‘Rainbow’ ‘Fruit-tein’ I picked up from Whole Foods in London along with some hazelnut and almond rice milk and a couple of ice cubes.
This is full of antioxidants, vitamins and minerals from loads of fruit and veggie extracts which is great as I’ve been feeling a little lacking in energy the last couple of days. To begin with I thought it tasted a little artificial tasting but by the end of the glass I thought it tasted delicious. Will definitely be ordering this flavour again! I also had this apple.
So it is my Birthday next week, I can’t believe I’m going to be another year older, yet in the best shape of my life! I don’t mind ageing – I think (or I hope) I’m one of these people who just gets better with age. I actually can’t wait till I reach 30, I think some women really come into their own in their 30’s.
I have my Birthday off from work and I’m planning on spending most of it on my own. That got me thinking about how much I value and appreciate spending time by myself doing the things that I enjoy. I sometimes worry that I like it too much and that perhaps I should want to do more with other people! Not that I’m a total loner or anything – obviously I spend a lot of time with my Husband who I consider a best friend, my family, my 2 best mates and other friends that I catch up with every once in a while, but I still really enjoy doing things by myself. Do you enjoy spending time alone? What’s your favourite things to do with your ‘me’ time?
