Can’t believe that Monday has come round so quick again, hope you’ve all had a good day!

First of all I’d like to thank everyone who has left a comment on my GIVEAWAY post, its so lovely and interesting to hear what it is that you like about the blog. The GIVEAWAY is open until Friday so go and check it out if you haven’t already :-)

Breakfast was a bowl of Dorset Cereals High Fibre Muesli with strawberries and soy milk.

Mid morning I snacked on half a tub of cottage cheese with goji berries and mixed seeds.

Lunch was a delicious bowl of my Chilli Bean Soup along with a few juicy plums.

I also had a Beet It Shot before heading to the gym after work.

I did my scheduled 30 minutes of HIITs on the step machine and cross trainer and then some abs and core exercises before heading into my spinning class. It was great! I increased the resistance a bit more than last week and I ended up with a great workout. I’m so glad I got over my little bit of nervousness about attending classes. I also wore the new leggings I blogged out at the weekend. They were so comfortable, I love them! The brand name on them is Central Park, they were only £9.99 in TK Maxx in case anyone wants to check them out!

Dinner was something I haven’t had in ages that used to be an old favourite – baked sweet potato topped with cottage cheese. I mixed some finely chopped cucumber and red onion into the cottage cheese and also had some spinach on the side.

It was so tasty and satisfying, I love the hot sweet baked potato and the cool savoury cottage cheese, mmm!

For desert I needed to use up the last of the strawberries as they were definitely on the turn so I blended them with some ice cubes, soy milk and agave syrup to make a smoothie and then added two crumbled apple, blueberry and cinnamon protein muffins.

Like strawberry soup with muffin croutons!

Do you have any ‘old favourite’ meals that you haven’t had in ages? Back when I used to eat the same thing over and over baked potatoes were my thing. I’m glad I get a lot more variety in my eats now, although sometimes its good to enjoy your favourites!

I’ve had a day of deep thinking about the whole blogging thing, partly due to the shocking Marie Clare article about some of the healthy living bloggers in the US. I guess I just realised how much blogging has affected my life and how much I value being able to share my passions for food, fitness, fashion and health as well as the enormous amount of inspiration I’ve gained from reading other blogs. Sometimes I also worry whether my blog content is the best it can be, is blogging daily eats the right format, should I be doing reviews etc but at the end of the day everyone has their own blogging style and this is mine, I guess you wouldn’t be reading this if you didn’t like it!

So, thank you everyone who reads, you have no idea how much I value your comments and being able to share my passions with you!

Right, I’m off for a cuppa, I have a fancy for a tea pigs popcorn tea! Catch you later :-)
