Baby spinach day! Woke up feeling pretty cold, I do not enjoy winter. I had a blocked nose and a clammy head. So I decided what I needed today was a strong dose of baby spinach to make me as strong as Popeye! What spinach does to Popeye is how I was fighting my junk food temptations today. I put baby spinach in my morning vanilla protein shake alongside a salad of baby spinach, tomatoes and boiled eggs. My hours are pretty weird on Thursday’s, so packed up a protein shake and a fizz stick to have around 3:30pm at work.
Again I didn’t feel tired and the fizz stick really helped me keep my energy levels up. After Coaching I went straight to an evening aerobics class and packed myself a nice hydration drink. I did feel pretty tired throughout the session which was unusual and my weight at the weigh in before class had stayed the same from last week which was unexpected. My tummy felt a little rumbly and unsettled so I took it really easy and tried not to jump up and down too much. Me and mum really fancied chilli con carne after aerobics so we bought brown rice, red kidney beans in chilli sauce and used up my leftover mince meat along with some more baby spinach. I helped myself to a handful of dried cranberries before heading off to gymnastics training as a little treat.
At training my energy levels were back up and I could do what I normally work. I’m currently sporting a very pretty rip on my hand so decided to stay clear of the bars today. When I got home I settled straight into bed with a nice warm herbal tea that I am currently enjoying whilst writing this. Can’t believe I’ve managed 4 days without chocolate or napping, quite impressed with myself!
