A typical day...

Hi folks! 

I thought it would be a good idea to show you guys a typical day of my meal plan in action! Although some of the things I've had weren't mentioned in the meal plan in a previous post, they will be mentioned in meal plans in upcoming posts. So here goes....

 

For breakfast I had a small bowl of Greek yogurt with blueberries. I love this for breakfast as its quite light but keeps me going through till lunch! 

My 'mid morning snack' was a cup of peppermint tea along with a handful of almonds (not shown). Peppermint tea is a great preventative force against catching bugs like the common cold or even the flu! It contains lots of potassium, calcium and vitamin B. I will usually have a mug of coffee in the morning but some mornings  I prefer a nice herbal tea to help flush out any toxins. 

For lunch I had chicken, spinach & houmous wraps with a side of tomato and cucumber salad. This type of lunch usually keeps me full for the period of time before dinner. 

I don't know about you guys, but I like to work out before bedtime. I have a shower at night before I go to sleep because I am always too tired to have one in the morning. I also feel like it relaxes me before I nod off. Anyways, I cheated a bit with this dinner as I was planning on having quite a vigorous workout later on. I had to burgers (no bun) along with a large salad, a hard boiled egg & curly fries - woops! But it was soooo good! 

I usually try to have pieces of fruit or a yoghurt during the afternoon, but I was extremely busy at work that day! 

I like these kind of posts as I am such a foodie and love taking pics of my food (exciting life) ha ha! My instagram is full of pictures similar to these, follow me & ill follow back ;)

My Birthday Lunch....

On August, 13th of this year, I turned 23...

 

And I had the best birthday ever! Just everything about that day was wonderful. Guy and I took the day off work and had a long lie. He gave me my presents (which will be mentioned in an upcoming post titled 'Birthday haul') then we got ready and headed out for lunch. We found this truly wonderful restaurant in the West End called Stravaigin, and it served some of the best food I have ever had! Here's some pics of my lovely lunch : )

 

Guy had the Thai mussels, they were absolutely gorgeous! They were served in a spicy Thai broth which was similar to tom yum soup!

 

 

I love lamb, but Guy hates it so I rarely get the chance to have it! So I got the lamb shoulder with apricots, mint hummus and pea shoots....lovely.

 

For our mains, I had the pork belly with sweet potatoes, greens and a jus.

 

 

Guy had the confit duck leg with smoked potato disks, greens and beetroot.

 

We rarely have desert when we are out cause we get sooo full! But this lemon and oatmeal ice cream sounded to goo to resist! We shared it and it was beautiful.

 

Me&him.

 

Have any of you been to any really good restaurants that you want to share? Lemme' know!
