I love Saturdays!

Today's been a really good day.

I woke up quite early...ok, really early (6:30) but stayed in bed and enjoyed it.

I got up at about 9 and went for my weekly wieigh in and the result is: Ive lost 2 pounds Yeah!

Im now dead on 10 stone. Im so pleased with myself.

Then, as I was well motivated, I made myself a fantastic breakfast: A bottle of Innocent smoothie and some pancakes, which were inspired by Laura. It was amazing!

The first layer is my red fruits sauce ; second layer is honey and on top, some more red sauce.

The sauce I made was: frozen blueberries, frozen raspberries and some pineapple juice.

After breakie, I wanted to go to an aerobics class but boyfriend decided to come with me to the gym and made me late for the class :s

I then had a general workout: Cross trainer: 5 mins warm up, 5 mins backwards and 15 mins intervals.

I also did a bit of weight training a bit of powerplate.

Couldnt do much as it was quite busy.

After that, I felt really good. I think Im gonna try to sqeeze in some early morning workouts next week.

After the gym, boyfriend took me to "Le Petit Cafe". It's a French cafe which was recommended by a lady from his French class. It was really nice. It was like an old fashion little place.

There, I had a Croque Monsieur

And a crepe for pudding. Sorry, no picture of the crepe as it was in my tummy before I thought about it ;-) It was acrepe with lemmon and honney. Was nice but still prefer the ones my Mummy makes!

Then we went to a fair in the same village and then went to the shops in town.

This evening, it's pizza and football. Ive got a small one with ham, tomatoes, mushroom and cheese.

BTW: Does anyone know where I can find some Agave Syrup?? Dont think Sainsburry's got it. Went to Tesco's and Asda but couldnt find it. Where abouts is it in the shop?

Thank You

Nice and relaxing weekend

I gave my blog a miss yesterday. The reason is I was actually quite busy reading some other people's blogs and found mine was really boring compare to the others.
I think I need to be more commited to it. After all, Im not doing it for other people but for myself.
I dont mind if anyone else read it. This blog is just a way for me to take a closer look at my Health & Fitness journey.

a Saturday:

So, what happened yesterday? It was my weigh in day. The result was so-so as I actually stayed the same as last week: 10.1.8 stone or 64.4 Kg.
Of course I would have loved to have lost a bit but if I look back at my week, I think it's ok. And at least, I didnt put any weight on!

Yesterday, my food was:
Breakfast: Coffee + whole milk + sweeteners ; 2 slices of my homemade bread (butter + nutella) ; yellow smoothie (frozen mangos, tinned pineapple, 2 fresh passion fruit ; orange juice)
Lunch: BBQ: 2 merguez + bread & ketchup ; chicken kebab & veggie brochette ; crisps
Dinner: Salad ; bread & butter ; natural yogurt + pineapple + honey

Looking at it, I ate quite a lot. At lunchtime, I felt full after the 2 merguez but still ate the chicken...not good. In French we've got the saying: "Avoir les yeux plus gros que le ventre" which translates to "To have the eyes bigger than the tummy"

I didnt go to the gym yesterday as I could hardly walk. My legs were still sore from Thursday BodyMax...crazy. I even still sore today. I looked up on the internet to find some ways to streche my thighs. I'll make sure I do it after my class on Thursday as Im fed up not being able to exercise or even walk properly for 3 days after it :@

a Sunday:

This morning, for breafast I had coffe + milk + sweetener and 2 pieces of baguette (butter & nutella)
Lunch was Greggs again: chicken tikka baguette and a cookie for pudding (it was my 1st one in months and months).
Tonight, we're having a BBQ: chicken kebab and maybe rice...not sure yet
Here are the pictures of my dinner: Chicken kebab + vegetables pilau rice (looks bigger on the plate than on the picture)

Pudding: Natural yogurt + strawberries + blueberries + honey

He doesnt know what he's talking about

Different day, same food.

As usual, breakfast was my yellow pot of All bran + whole milk and an orange.

You may think it's boring but it's fine for me. Dont need to prepare anything and it keeps me going till AM break.

AM break, again as usual was a banana. At work, everyone has a banana at AM break. We call each other The Monkey Club haha.

Lunch was still my wrap filled with chicken, lettuce and salsa + yogurt.

PM break was kiwi + strawberries.

After work, I got back home, got changed and went to my BodyMax class...was hardcore! I actually felt sick. Im sure i'll be all achey tomorrow but it's woth it.

After the class, I was eating a Nakd bar and was chating to my trainer about how to loose the fat on the lower back :~(

Since Ive started the gym, it seems it's the only place where the fat is not gonna go away.

Anyway, he told me I might not be able to loose it, especially with what I was eating (nakd bar). What?????? it's pure goodness...isnt it???

According to him, I have to cut back on ALL sugary stuff!

Well, as much as I want that bikini body, im not sure im totally ready to give up on my Kinder, which have by the way all gone :~(

I know, really naughty me...but now, I dont have anymore tempting stuff in my room so it's fine!

So, when I got back home, I had my dinner: 2 eggs + wholemeal pasta.

As a pudding, I made a really nice smoothie from fresh strawberries, frozen blueberries and raspberries, natural yogurt, a bit of milk, some vanilla whey protein and a tiny bit of honey....was yummy. Perfect to finish my day!
