Happy WIAW! Today I have been waiting for my new bed and mattress to arrive from Ikea so I have been working from home! I love being able to work from home sometimes as I can be so much more productive.

I kicked off my day with a super workout. I decided to test out my dodgy knee with a treadmill run. I was very happy to be able to do my usual 5k speed interval workout with only a small amount of discomfort! I followed that up with 3 x 10 minutes of intervals on the step machine, bike and rowing machine plus my abs and core exercises.

After swinging by the shops for a few groceries I came home and made this wonderful antioxidant packed smoothie:

This included kale, cucumber, apple, frozen blueberries, scoop of chocolate sun warrior, spirulina, maca, purple corn powder, msm, stevia, ice and water and topped with some creamy cashew butter sauce and a sprinkle of Alara in the garden muesli. With working from home I also had the time to brew up a mug of my favourite Hazelnut and Cinnamon Coffee:

I drank this black and sweetened with stevia, delicious and perfect for a bright but chilly morning!

Lunch was a salad beast using up the last of my soy bean and veggie mix with some more damson balsamic dressing and a juicy peach:

Mid afternoon I made myself a snacky plate with lots of carrot, cucumber and sugar snaps plus some of my raw juice pulp crackers topped with sauerkraut:

These crackers were flavoured with lots of herbs and tasted so lovely, not bad for something that would have ended up in the bin!

As I’m still in ‘use up as much from the cupboards’ mode I decided to try out this jar of seitan in tamari:

I thought I’d serve it up with some stir fried veggies including spring greens, carrot, courgette, red pepper, mushrooms and radish. I made a quick sauce with the tamari, red chilli and fresh minced ginger:

Its been ages since I’ve had a veggie packed stir fry and this was delish! The seitan was really good too, it had a lovely chewy texture.

For a sweet end to the day I had some of this gorgeous blueberry and lavender dark chocolate with a big mug of Yogi Sweet Chai tea:

Yum! I’m slowly but surely working my way through my huge chocolate stash!

Do you ever work from home? I love being able to get on with work without the phone ringing every 5 minutes. Its also lovely having my all my home comforts handy such as my tea pot and blender! I love to sit and listen to BBC 6 Music on my digital radio station and today I’ve also been listening to Jillian Michaels Podcasts! Hope you’ve had a great Wednesday!
