Breakfast (6am)
I know it seems like I have dates and porridge with semi skimmed milk for breakfast, every week but recently I have been switching it up, it was just luck that I happened to be eating this today. Although I have mixed it up by having honey as well as cinnamon with it today.
Morning Snack (10am)
After I have been at work for a couple of hours I have a snack of an apple and a honey yoghurt. This isn't my favourite yoghurt but it is nice to have something healthy with my oranges.
Lunch (12pm)
This week I didn't know what to make for my lunch, so I have been buying from my work cafe (very dangerous as I could just eat chips everyday). But today I had chicken and noodle soup with a brown roll. You even get a sneak peak at everyone else lunches too.
Afternoon Snack (2:30pm)
It is usually in the afternoon when I am waiting for the time to get to home time, that I start to need an energy boost. So I had for afternoon snack, an apple and a granola bar. This is also when I got a coffee from the coffee machine at work.
Dinner (7pm)
This is one of my favourite dinners and I used to have it at uni a lot as it is very easy to make. Whooops... I forgot to say what it actually is, its lamb noodles, made with onions, peppers and carrots and of course a good amount of soy sauce. I am aware that it look pretty grim on the plate but I still love it.
Evening Snack (9pm)
After my workout I feel like I deserve a treat so I take a quick shower and get into my pyjamas. I must have been feeling generous tonight. I had lemon cupcake that I made at the weekend and an oat and raisin cookie. I think this is my all time favourite cookie as it is so nice and soft and it also feels a bit healthy too, well not when you pair it with a cupcake.
And that is it! What did you eat today?
See you soon.

So today I have my first ever What I Ate Wednesday, I thought this would be a nice change from my fitness posts that I have been doing recently.
Breakfast (6am): For my breakfast I have a bowl of porridge made with semi skimmed milk, four dates chopped up and a pinch on cinnamon. This is my usual breakfast that I have in the morning, as it is very filling and the dates are super sweet, I actually cannot believe they count towards your five a day. I also have a pint of water with my breakfast.
Snack (11am): I know this is quite late for a snack, but I was so hungry and couldn't wait the extra hour until lunch. So I had seven cherry tomatoes with cream cheese in the middle of them. I try not to put too much cream cheese inside as I still want to be healthy. During the time between breakfast and lunch I drank 500ml of water.
Lunch (12pm): For my lunch I had a lovely salad which consists of rocket, pepper, avocado, cucumber and feta cheese with a little lemon juice over the top to try and keep it fresh. I also have a wholewheat pitta with it as I can't not have carbs. I actually didn't manage to eat all of this, obviously I thought I could eat more than I actually could.
Snack (2pm): I always like to have a fruit salad in the afternoon, I think all of the good sugars are nice pick me up for the rest of the afternoon, in todays one I had mango, kiwi, raspberries and blueberries. I also have 200ml of water and naughtily I also had a can of diet coke. If anyone has any ideas on how to get me to stop drinking these, I'd love the advice.
Tea (7pm): For dinner, I had a rather simple of meal of chicken with lemon and black pepper, half a jacket potato, with carrots and cabbage. Sorry about the quality of this photo but I was so hungry I was desperate just to start eating. And, also yes, that is a ridiculously big piece of chicken but it tasted so good. I also had another 400ml of water with my tea.
After my tea was also when I did my workout I usually allow an hour before I start working out. I did a 100 high knees, a two mile run and Lucy's Lower Body Quick Workout. I also drank another 400ml of water whilst doing this.
Dessert (9pm): After my workout, I felt like I needed a little treat so I treated myself to four chocolate hob nobs, I know this is probably not the best post-workout snack but it was very tasty and that is all that matters, right? I also had another 400ml of water.
What did you eat today?
See you soon.
