I really don’t know where all
the weeks are going at moment and the year is scarily going by very fast. It is fast approaching my 35th
birthday and I can’t believe I am going to be that old!
Any way it is that time of
the week again and here are my eats from last week
For breakfast I had seen agreat protein pancakes on Carrots n Cake.
My version was one egg, one
egg white and a touch of cinnamon. All
blitz together and fried. It was really
yummy but I should have had some thing to add to the top. The original recipe
says to add a good dollop of peanut butter but as I am trying to lose weight I have
not bought any. It was not as filling as
I liked but I think with the peanut butter it would have been more
filling. Need to think about that one.
Lunch was a quinoa salad with
roast vegetables and balsamic vinegar
Dinner was a tasty Moroccan
chicken and chickpea dish with roast vegetables.
I am still loving my veg
snacks and hummus on an afternoon.
I am still struggling with
hay fever this week. I have kept to my exercise plan and am at spinning tonight
but and finding it really hard work. My
weekend ride was fantastic and I was aching nicely on Monday and Tuesday.
I am still watching the Olympics
and loving it. It was the last of the
cycling last night and I was so happy that Chris Hoy won gold and Victoria
Pendleton won silver. She was so
emotional as it was her last ever race.
How has your week been? Any
slimming advice is very welcome as seriously struggling.
Oh girl age is just a number. You are beautiful :) Your dinner meal dish sounds delicious. What all does it exactly consist of?
ReplyDeleteThank you. I will sort out the recipe for the Moroccan chicken. It is easy to make and had a mixture of onion, peppers, new potatoes, tin tomatoes , chickpeas and chicken. My husband really likes it.
DeleteHappy upcoming birthday! Four years ago I spent my 35th birthday with my future husband, enjoying Cuban food and a bottle of Tempranillo. The year before that I celebrated my birthday swimming laps at the pool...34, plus 1 for good luck! The year before that, working on an art project. Whatever you decide to do, I hope it's special, and something that you really enjoy. :) As far as slimming advice, what's been working for me is eating fruit and veggies for lunch with fat-free yogurt. I have a big bowl of chopped apples, pear, cucumber, broccoli, pineapple, grapes, blueberries, celery, and about 1/2 cup yogurt with cinnamon. I don't always finish it, so save the rest for a snack. You can mix in protein powder with your yogurt, too. It's helped with my digestion and my tummy has been happier. :)
ReplyDeleteThank you for all the advice. It sounds like you had some great birthdays. I am not sure what i am going to do but am thinking of either a afternoon out with friends drinking cocktails or having some friends around. I like the idea of fruit and veg for lunch. I am finding it hard to say no to wine at the moment!!
DeletePeanut butter is amazing! It does have healthy fats but can be way too tempting if you love pb!! Your meals looks delicious. Keep it up!
ReplyDeleteThank you. I like PB so much i find it hard not to put a spoon straight into the jar!
