Life| Five Weeks to Bridesmaid, Week One - Tuesday

Another hot day where everything seemed like an effort, hence why there aren't many photo's - sorry!

07.00 am - I got up late so had to rush! In the car on the way to work I had a Green Tea, an Apple and a (33g) Dark Chocolate, Macademia & Cranberry Eat Natural Bar.

10.30 am - I was completely starving and had eaten my snacks for the day as Breakfast! I bought the healthiest thing I could find in the hospital cafeteria vending machine - a packet of Belvita Breakfast Biscuits. I know, I know - literally terrible, but it was either that or a packet of crisps....

2.00 pm - Finally, I had time to get to a shop to pick up some lunch! I got this Avocado & Feta Salad from Marks & Spencer. When I googled this to try and find a link all I found was outraged articles about the calorie and fat content of this salad. Whilst I'm not a nutritionist it's worth noting that not all calories are equal, which is why I don't really reference them. For example, half an Avocado and a snack size (33g) Mars Bar both come in at around 150 calories a piece - but the Avocado packs weigh more punch nutritionally than it's chocolatey friend Mr Mars Bar.


3.30 pm - My afternoon snack was a Granola Bar from Starbucks.  I stopped to meet a colleague and was craving something sweet!

6.15 pm - Personal Training Session with JP. It was hard work in the heat! I'm beginning to feel a bit lighter and like I can push myself a bit harder in our sessions though which is a good sign.

7.30 pm - I wasn't going straight home after training but was starving. I had 2 x itsu Dark Chocolate Rice Cakes.

9.00 pm - We kept dinner light and easy. A Cajun Chicken Breast with steamed Tenderstem Broccoli and Spinach.



I also drank lots and lots of water again today, probably around five litres.
