Ok, so despite my post yesterday complaining about the slacking
spring temperatures, today has been such lovely weather compared to the bank
holiday weekend and it was the perfect weather to get up and go on a run. I
prefer to get outside and go running to keep fit and aim to go 3 times a week.
Some people are really good at getting up, getting their trainers on and
heading out on a run at the crack of dawn. Unfortunately, I’m not that type of
person. I have to get some food in tummy before I even contemplate doing any
form of exercise. So after fuelling my body with some nutritious oatmeal with
toppings of banana, raspberries, almonds and peanut butter and a couple of
hours of work later I headed out on a late morning run. When the weather
brightens up it makes me that bit more motivated to get in shape for summer and its
always nice not to have to battle wintery ice cold choking winds.
By the time I had been on my run and done various other
things time had just ran away with me and it was already 3’oclock! I thought it
was a little bit late for lunch so I decided to fill up little snacks instead
otherwise I wont want dinner!
I’m a really big fan of eggs at the minute, especially the
boiled kind so I had boiled eggs on rice cakes.
Eggs are a great source of protein,
relatively low fat and are great for muscle gain – not that I want to be a body
builder or anything! But most of all they are actually really filling. I’m
not following a stupidly strict diet plan so I did eat the egg yolks
and that’s where the majority of the nutrients comes from – anyway, what I did here was boiled two eggs (for 12-15
minutes) peeled the shell and allowed to cool for a couple of minutes, removed
the egg yolks and mixed a little mayonnaise and added a little black pepper
placed the egg yolks back inside the whites and placed on top of rice cakes.
I'll be back posting more later!
