Nice Relaxing Day
Woke up really early this morning so was a bit grumpy as its the only day when I can really have a lie in! Thought that I might as well make the most of it so got up and watched TV and did a few jobs around the house. Breakfast was some muesli containing porridge oats, jumbo oats, quinoa flakes, ground flax, pecans and raisins topped with hazelnut and almond rice milk.
I find it much safer to make up my own muesli as and when rather than having a box in the cupboard as I would easily binge on it.
I popped to the supermarket to get a few bits and pieces then came home and decided to go for a run. The weather was beautiful although cold! I ran the same route as last week, its about 2.5 miles and has a few good size hills including a huge one right at the end. I loved it, it was tough for the first mile then I was away, feeling like I could run for miles. Next week I think I'm going to try a longer route. When I got home I did half an hour of yogalates to stretch and relax a bit, it was bliss.
Lunch and my post workout re fuel was two scrambled eggs on stoneground wholemeal toast with a small chopped apple
I was still hungry when I'd finished this so I thought I'd try out one of my fuel bars that I made yesterday. I ate it straight out of the freezer, it was delicious and chewy!
After pottering round the house for a bit and writing up my training plan, I had a mid afternoon snack of 2 babybel lights, some green grapes and a savory wholegrain rice cake. After I took the pic and ate it all I was still hungry so went back and finished off the grapes and had another rice cake!
I spend a bit of time prepping some meals and snacks for next week, including making some garlic pitta chips in the oven, chopping veg ready for salads etc.
For dinner I steamed a turkey breast and some brocolli and served it with roast carrot and swede (loads of the swede as James doesn't like it) topped off with some gravy. It was lovely and felt like a proper Sunday dinner type meal!
Desert was my favourite frozen raspberries with Hazelnut and Almond rice milk and then another little apple
I'm still bloody hungry! I might snack on another couple of rice cakes or an orange or something or try and put the hungry off by having a cup of tea. I think its partially due to boredom so perhaps I'll need to keep myself more busy!
Hope everyones had a good weekend too! xxx
