Apart from the fact that I look absolutely knackered in this picture, after a 6 hour train journey, I’m so happy to be back in Exeter for the long weekend! @exetersacredgrounds opened up just after we left last year, so it was one of the first places I wanted to go to. We only got a cappuccino and a turmeric latte (which were honestly the creamiest, smoothest hot drinks we’ve ever had 🥰). But, we’re going back again today for breakfast and I’m eyeing their waffles- eek can’t wait.
Which picture is more like your dinner? 1st or 2nd? Do you prefer eating food with or without loads of sauce? . I’d say I’m definitely in between the two dishes- the second bowl was mine and I added two spoonfuls of hummus on top of my sweet potatoes after taking this picture. If you want the recipe, it’s the lentil dhal recipe from my blog (link in bio under BLOG), with a roasted sweet potato, and roasted cauliflower (drizzled with a bit of coconut oil in the oven for 35-45’).
Abs are temporary, but having a healthy relationship with food and fitness is so much more important. A few months ago, I got back into a pretty lean physique and then my body fluctuated and I went from having abs to not having abs, over night. That’s normal, I don’t follow a super lean diet and I’m not in a calorie deficit, so my body isn’t necessarily losing fat at the moment. With summer coming up, I’m seeing so many people on instagram starting weight loss programmes and new fitness routines, but having the body that you think will make you happier isn’t something that happens overnight. There’s nothing wrong with wanting to feel healthier and ‘lighter’ on your feet, especially when the weather is warmer - I know that I’m naturally less hungry in the summer compared to the winter anyway, but it’s about being rational and mindful during that process. Don’t get fixated on results, but enjoy the journey, fall in love with working out and the way that those endorphins make you feel- regardless of whether or not you look different the next morning. No shade to anyone who’s on a cut for summer, but make sure it’s not negatively affecting your mental health and that you’re not fixated over it. It’s important to remember that the way you LOOK has nothing to do with who you ARE as a person. In 10 years time you’ll look back and appreciate the memories you made, as opposed to what jean size you were, or what % of body fat you had. . Wearing @tyr_store sports bra & trackies
Yesterday, I mentioned that I’m enjoying colder drinks lately, so I had a thick smoothie this morning! I split my smoothie into two cups for a cute picture, haha. I’m obsessed with the colour of this smoothie- I used the @bioglanuk Superberries powder to get the smoothie to look so gorgeous by the way- the powder tastes amazing and it’s enriched with magnesium! . RECIPE: . It was super simple to make- 1/2 cup coconut milk, 1/2 cup rolled oats, 1 heaped tsp. superberries powder, 1 frozen banana, a handful of frozen berries, and 1 cup @plantaforce protein powder (NATASA10 for 10% btw). You can add more, or less liquid depending on the consistency you prefer. . I topped it off with some frozen raspberries, coconut shreddings, flax seeds, and strawberry granola.
So happy that I’m finally able to have colder drinks now that the weather is a bit warmer. I’ve missed having smoothies and kombucha during the day! Not sure if it’s just me, but I feel so cold in the winter, I can’t bring myself to drink anything refrigerated- I even have to drink warm water 😂Recently, I’ve been loving the @sodada.kombucha flavours and a I love that they’re local and all about sustainability. You can get them from @mccallsorganics in the NorthernQuarter if you’re based in Manchester by the way!
Good Morning & Happy Monday Everyone 🌞 I’m having a quick breakfast of the chocolate granola that I bought form @homebargains, some @alpro coconut milk, a chopped up banana, and some fresh raspberries. Granola is my favorite when the weather is a little warmer in the morning and then I’ll have porridge at around 11pm when I’ve already done some work and I’m just taking a break. I’m currently drinking some french press coffee with @clarks_it maple syrup & @oatly. What’s everyone else having for breakfast today?
