Having my faith restored
I started the day off with Davina again! I'm quite happy that this is the last time I'll be doing this particular DVD for a while, as its feeling very repetative now! I'm due to review my training plan at the weekend and will be moving on to a new DVD for my strength workouts, although its highly likely to be another one of Davinas. Its a good job I like her or else I'd be pretty sick of the sight of her by now!
After doing the DVD and showering I made myself a lovely smoothie in a bowl with spinach, frozen blueberries, scoop of vanilla whey, vanilla rice milk and a spoonful of smooth peanut butter. I topped it with a sprinkling of grape nuts for added crunch.
I really enjoy having the smoothies in a bowl as I feel I can sit and enjoy eating them a lot more than having to chug them down from my shaker cup whilst getting dressed in a rush. Definitely worth trying to spare the time to sit and enjoy.
I had almost back to back meetings today, so I took a Trek Cocoa Brownie Bar with me to snack on in the morning. This was lovely and tasty, just like the nakd coco loco bar but with added soya crispies.
One of the meetings I attended were offering a buffet for lunch, but the Trek bar had really filled me up so I was happy to just snack on some fresh strawberries and grapes.
When I eventually got back to the office I had a late lunch of a wholemeal pitta stuffed with hummus, turkey and spinach, some carrot and cucumber and finished off with two small peaches.
I think that because don't eat bready stuff that often, this pitta bread tasted extra yummy!
Before I left for my late meeting I snacked on some cottage cheese and a little container of grapes and a chopped kiwi.
On my way home I hit the shops to stock up on my fresh produce to keep me going over the weekend and then headed home. I was so glad to get home I just crashed out for half an hour! I then had four rice cakes topped with savory cottage cheese (cottage cheese mixed with nutritional yeast) and an apple topped with cinnamon and maca.
I'm definitely getting more converted on the taste of the nutritional yeast, the extra savory flavour of the cottage cheese seemed to make this even more filling. I also plan on eating this vanilla chia seed pudding before bed.

Thanks for all the comments to my last post about my little job and life crisis! I actually started the day feeling quite down about stuff, then something happened in one of my meetings when I had to address an issue with someone which had been bothering me. I had expected that person to be really defensive, however they totally accepted what I had to say and even apologised! I think that has kind of restored my faith in my job a bit and left me feeling much better about things.
Well I'm going to head off now and make my lunch ready for tomorrow and get sorted so I can sit and watch American Idol when the hubby gets in from work. Tomorrows weigh in day and I also plan on making a lovely chicken and vegetable tikka massala curry for dinner tomorrow, I can't wait! So happy its Friday tomorrow as well, bring on the weekend! x
