WIAW: In a good groove

Happy Halloween! Hope you are having a great day and enjoying the Halloween festivities. I wish I had more planned as I love Halloween but the best I can do this year is use it as an excuse to eat pumpkin all day long! Oh, and I did make myself up a Halloween playlist for my workout this morning, I quite enjoyed doing my interval training to Michael Jackson’s Thriller!

This is what I ate yesterday. I had warm water with the juice from half a lemon as always and then made breakie! I’m a little bit in love with the ‘courgette (zucchini) bread’ thing – so made a big bowl of courgette bread porridge:

Adding a grated courgette gives the meal so much more volume! I cooked 1/2 cup of oats on the stove with 1 1/2 cups of water and 1/3 cup of egg whites adding the grated courgette, vanilla stevia, a pinch of salt and cinnamon. Then I added 2 big tbsp of sunbutter and some dried cranberries. There was also coffee:

I made some strong black almond amaretto coffee, heaven in a mug!

Mid morning at work I snacked on an organic apple I got from the farm shop:

Then for lunch I had a salad with rocket, spinach, goats cheese, pear, walnuts and balsamic vinegar:

Such a great salad combo!

Mid afternoon I snacked on one of my Raw Super Fudgy Protein Brownies:

That gave me some workout fuel and I was off to the gym for a bit of cardio on the machines and Body Pump class. The class was really quiet with it being half term. Still doing ok with keeping up my increased weights!

Dinner was a High Protein Spelt Wrap filled with black beans, red onion and a smooshed baked sweet potato with some steamed broccoli:

Dessert was pumpkin protein pudding – simply some tinned pumpkin mixed with a scoop of vanilla sun warrior, cinnamon, ginger and almond milk until it turned into a pudding like consistency:

I topped it with a few caramelised pumpkin seeds, delish! Then there was a cococardio hot chocolate:

After that I had a lovely Skype date with my IIN friend Nathalie then had to get back to work as I had a deadline!

Yesterday was one of those stop and start busy days, but it was good to be able to get lots of things sorted. I’m happy that I seem to be back in a good groove of eating well – if I can manage to eat like this when I have a busy week then I know I’ve found my groove because eating healthy shouldn’t feel like hard work and should be almost automatic. How do you know when you’re in a good groove?
