Starting Afresh....


Tomorrow (Monday - isn't it always a Monday?!), I'm starting afresh with my health goals.

I've already prepared my fruit and vegetables for juicing in the morning, and I've prepared my lunch and it's ready to grab and go in the morning!

Doesn't this look delicious!  Loads of nutrients, that will soon be packed into a glass!



Breakfast will go something like this:

Fresh juice - 4 medium carrots, 2 small apples, a chunk of ginger and a couple of handfuls of Spinach.

Peanut Butter Banana Smoothie - you can find the recipe here! I can't wait to try it out!!  It's a little higher in calories (399 calories) than I would normally have for breakfast but I'm trying something a little different!

Lunch:

50g Wholewheat Fusilli
70g Tuna in Spring Water
50g Sweetcorn
10g Brianna's Poppyseed Dressing (This is the bomb, yo!)
80g Cherry Tomatoes

Lunch is always a meal I struggle with.  I get very bored with wraps, salads and sandwiches, which usually leads me to binge at work.  I need to break the cycle of going out to the shops and grabbing unhealthy treats at the bakers or grocery store.  So this lunch will hopefully hit the spot!  If the rain has stopped by tomorrow, then I will have a good 20 minute walk during my lunch break and then come back to this delicious meal.

I'm not sure what I'll have for dinner but my snacks will probably be something like Mcintosh Apples, dried dates, cheese sticks or nuts.




Do you see the price of these apples??  £3.49 a kilo - Kenny always says I have expensive taste!  Bahahaha!  At least it's a healthy obsession for a change!  I should have taken an after photo of the apples after I selected 12 of those bad boys!  Slim pickins for anyone that arrived after me.

Tomorrow I will do my "first" official weigh in and measurements.  I will perhaps do some before pics too - though I do have plenty of those!! lol

I just watched the Halloween episode of Pretty Little Liars!  Oh my god!  I just love that show.  I started watching it on Netflix last month and I have been hooked ever since.  I can't wait to watch Ravenswood too.  I'm a real Netflix addict these days.  I hardly ever watch normal TV, and if I do watch normal TV, you can be sure it will be on some music channel!  I'm watching the first episode of the second season of The Carrie Diaries.  I'm a TV junkie!    If I put as much effort into my health and fitness as I do my TV watching, then I will be ripped very soon! Ha!

Reminiscing!

Hey friends!  So I am sitting here watching/listening to country music videos blasting from the X-box (using VEVO - it's awesome!!) and reminiscing about last summer!  The weather has really changed the last two days here.  The wind and rain has returned and the early nights are drawing in!  The turning back of the clocks is imminent!  At least that means an extra hours sleep!  Yessss!! =)

My day was MADE today when I found Macintosh Apples have returned to the grocery store here!! They didn't have any last year and I was devastated!  Yes, really.  So I bought about 14 of them when I saw them! And spent around £7.00 on them!  It's better than spending all that on candy.  I love, love, love Macintosh apples!

I'm slowly making healthy changes to my diet and I stocked up on plenty of fruit and veg for juicing next week.  I'm going to have at least one fresh juice a day.  I did a juice fast back in May and I really enjoyed it!  I also managed to lose 11 pounds during it.  I felt revitalised!!  I was also on holiday from work, so I had plenty of time to juice, relax and just enjoy it.  I don't think I would have been as successful if I had been at work.  I was juicing 6 times a day!  Also clean up is a major pain in the ass.  So aiming for one healthy juice a day is very reasonable!

I also got some awesome recipes from Andie's website "Can you Stay for Dinner" and I plan to make Peanut Butter Banana Smoothie and some s'mores pancakes with marshmallow sauce that sound really delicious.  I will be sure to post photos of them when I make them!!

Just thought I would share some photos from last summer since I am in the mood for reminiscing!
