Winning the battle
Kicked off today with a good gym workout. Before I went I stuffed down a cup of green tea and one of my homemade fuel bars.
Did 15 mins each on the treadmill, cross trainer and step machine of my usual intervals and even managed to keep up with the increases to speed and resistance I made in Mondays workout! I followed that with two sets of my usual abs exercises. The gym staff had faces like smacked bums when I went in, sometimes I think they wish they had no people in at all, its not even as if I bother them for anything! Nevermind, I was smiling, having another good workout under my belt made me feel better about yesterdays excesses!
Breakfast was really delicious, I made some porridge with water, I would usually use skimmed milk but I knew I would be having two other portions of diary today later and didn't want to over do it. Instead I just added a touch of hazelnut and almond rice milk and topped it with a spoonful of smooth peanut butter and a spoonful of some new naturally sweetened strawberry jam I had bought last week. Peanut butter and jam porridge = winning combo!
Had another community coffee morning with work, but no one came so we didn't open the cakes we had bought, glad that any tempation was avoided!
Lunch was a juicy, fragrant nectarine followed by a bowl of my chilli bean soup, it totally hit the spot!
My mid afternoon snack was two babybel lights and a big juicy pear.
For dinner I made up more of my spelt and egg white wraps (1 tablespoon of spelt flour and 3 egg whites, mixed together and fried up like a pancake) filled with a mixture of cottage cheese, spinach and sweet potato.
I wasn't that fussed on this, I can't pin point what it was but I don't think I'll be making these again. Desert was my favourite - frozen raspberries in hazelnut and vanilla rice milk
Drinks - water, green tea, decaf tea
After I had my tea I put some veggies in the oven to roast for dinner tomorrow night as I'm working late again :-( I also fried off some turkey steak with a little bit of hot chilli powder to have with the roast veggies. I hope they taste nice!
I've had some mad DOMS going on today, my back, legs and backside are bloody killing, but at least I know that I've obviously worked them hard. I also seem to be winning the battle with my evening snackiness this week which I am very happy with! Can't believe that its Wednesday already, this week is flying over! Hope everyones having a good week xxx
