Sunday roast and juice

Hi All,

So tonight I made a yummy roast lamb for dinner with roast and steamed vegetables. It was absolutely delicious. Probably had a bit big of a portion size but I was happy to allow myself the liberty.

Roast & Steamed Veges to be!

I forgot to take a final photo of my dinner but it was so so yummy!

I then had a craving for a drink - an alcoholic one but I had good self control and made myself a strawberry fusion (recipe on other blog post).

It was very very satisfying!

The recipe for the juice is here :).

Sunday Yumday

Hi All,

This morning I had to drop my sister off at work at 9am. Rather than chucking some tracksuit pants on and a jumper I put on my sports shirt and pants with a plan to workout when I got home.

I came home and did a Michelle Bridges workout - WOW! it was full on, 50 reps of 10 different exercises. Was pretty full on. Then once I finished that I did a 15 minute Pilates session.

I then had such a yummy green smoothie after that. I took a photo of the ingredients that I put in my smoothie.

I just sprinkled some shredded coconut onto the top of it. 

I then made myself an awesome omellette! I did put once slice of ham in it diced up and also a little bit of grated cheese (but not enough to feel guilty over), tomato, mushrooms, spinach leaves. 

It was so yummy!!!! 

Have a good one!

My buys of the day

Hi All,

So today I thought I could use a little retail therapy and I stopped in at my fave health food store.

I bought these two products - never bought them before.

The cacao cashew coconut butter is SO YUMMY!

I am currently drinking the coco-lyte now. Not a strong taste, you cannot really taste much to be honest. But I would imagine it would work pretty good - much like hydralyte or something to hydrate you :).

Anyway !

Just thought i would share that with you, not sure what I am cooking for dinner tonight but if its good I will upload it!

Walk time :)

It has been such a crazy week this week waiting for my sisters baby to come! She still has not had it yet, hopefully tonight, or soon!

I did not do a workout today unfortunately, but I did take my doggy Sari for a walk with my mum and sister. It was good, at least it didnt rain on us this afternoon like it did yesterday.

This morning I made by banana mango smoothie again it is soooo yummy! I highly recommend it.

I also made my egg/ham brekky on the go in the pie maker. They are in the fridge ready to go!

Anyway - not much to report on today :P but here is a pic of my doggy on our walk this arvo, I have taught her to sit when she gets to the edge of the road - she does it most of the time :)

I downloaded this app 5k Runner as I cannot to save my life. And it was actually pretty good you ran for 1 minute then walked for 1.5 minutes then ran and walked etc etc. Did that for half on hour and it was awesome.

Love in a glass

Hi all,

Just another juice recipe which I have made up for myself today. The boys are digging out the backyard so we can re-lay our grass because our dog destroyed it when she was a puppy :P. They are drinking beer and I usually would be drinking a Smirnoff or Frangelico or something like that, BUT instead I have held on to my will power and substituted alcohol for juices! So I made myself a glass of red berry sweetness!


The recipe is :

6 x strawberries tops removed
1/2 cup raspberries
1 orange, skin removed
1/2 cup ice
Stevia to taste

Love in a glass - Smoothie <3

So refreshing and yummy!!!

Hi All!

Just finished my workout and now having my favourite post-workout smoothie!

My workout consisted of a variety of things - I actually watched two online videos as I needed some motivation today because usually I do it with my sister and she is away on a school camp, so needed to mix it up a bit. 

So the smoothie I found on this website - which actually has some awesome recipes. 

My pictures are pretty basic, there is no fancy work to them, its just exactly what I put on the plate or in the cup and I am not going to dress it up - unless I feel like it :) Just thought I would let you know before something I make one night looks like crap but tastes awesome! :P 


Here is my smoothie!
