Thats funny feeling weird, not funny ha ha! I’m glad this Monday is nearly over, its just been one of those funny days. I had a lovely breakfast this morning, porridge made with water with a chopped apple mixed in topped with cinnamon and almond butter, it was just what I needed to start my Monday!
I had a strange morning at work, just didn’t seem to be able to get much done as I had two back to back meetings. In between them I snacked on a pot of greek yoghurt.
For lunch I had some of my delicious courgette and watercress soup and an orange.
I had another afternoon long meeting which just drained me, so I really enjoyed having two of my cherry bakewell babies as gym fuel!
I hit the gym for my cardio interval workout, found it hard going but managed a full hour made up of 15 mins of intervals on the cross trainer, treadmill, bike and step machine at my usual levels and speeds. I then finished off with 3 sets of my abs exercises. I was just a big sweaty mess after that!
After the gym I had a little bit of time to call in to my newly refurbished Sainsbury’s to pick up a couple of things. They’ve made the store much bigger, I ended up buying two t shirts without really thinking about it!
I followed that with some chocolate mint protein goo, yum!
Drinks – water, green tea, decaf tea, regular tea
I’ll be having another feta salad for my dinner tomorrow, mostly because its lush, but also due to the fact that whenever I buy some food that only I like (I’m working on the hubby expanding his palate) I end up having to eat it in some way, shape or form for a few days on end so that nothings wasted. So apologies when things get a bit repetative! Does this happen to anyone else? Sometimes I wish that the supermarkets would sell things in smaller individual portions, but then again I can use the freezer to store a lot of things by individual portion. Hope everyones Monday’s been good!

We should start a campaign! I’m totally with you on supermarkets catering for families. I know you have your man but I’m all on my lonesome and would love to be able to buy single portions of things, especially veg. Though then they would cost an arm and a leg. Even the bloody government has incentives for people getting married. But hey I get 30% off my council tax! :D
you should get 50% off your council tax!
Totally know what you mean about portions. also think I should get a discount for buying my total yoghurt in bulk!

Do you and your husband normally eat the same meals or do you cook separate meals? Mike and I usually eat together but there are some things, like feta, that only I like
I wish I could get a discount for bulk buying total greek as well!
Me and the hubby used to eat completely different meals, particually when I was in full diet mode. Since then he’s decided that he would like to eat a little healthier so we now eat more meals together. What I tend to do is make basically the same meal but swap out anything that he doesn’t like for something else and give him some added carbs. Last night when I had my omlette I also made him an omlette but his was 3 whole eggs, edam cheese and ham and I also gave him a jacket potato as well as the salad. We tend to just do this as often as we can, but sometimes when he has a pizza I just take care of myself and then I have the opportunity to try out stuff he wouldnt touch like tofu!
Oh yes, I’ve been eating feta for several days now in all my meals :D Im hoping my readers are not getting bored with my feta salads!
That happens to me quite often, because my boyfriend does not like cheese that much so I usually end up eating it alone (poor me… :D)
ps. that omlette looks so pretty!!!! and I bet it was delicious too :)
Yes, I don’t like too much repetition but sometimes it’s unavoidable. I used to waste so much food and I still do to some extent but not half as bad as before. I’ll often sit down at the weekend and brainstorm what kind of things I can have so I’m not eating the exact same meal and make a bit of a puzzle out of it, but then again I am sad ;)
