Light Lunches

Knowing when you're having a big ass meal when you get home after work.  Since my hubby was cooking me chicken curry, I thought it would be best to have something light.

Coffee Frappuccino, courtesy of Starbucks.  Around 240 calories, teamed with a Banana Bread from Graze once back in the office - 55 calories topped with dates and hazelnuts!

Love Love Love Graze Snack Boxes at the moment.  Got some really nice options coming through.

This one is new for me!  Definitely wanting it again!

Summer Drinks

So I am still holding on to Summer, even though we are now in September - We have a heatwave hitting us over the next few days, meaning the sun is still with us!

Found a cheeky Summer drink, that is so fresh and sparkling it makes you feel like you are on a beach!

Pink Lemonade (I used Lucozade Zero)

1/2 Cup of Strawberries

Two simple ingredients, whizzed together to make a frothy, sparkling drink!

Coconut Milk Yoghurt, surely it is going to be good for you! Dairy Free alternative.

I could have a chocolate yoghurt with less numbers than that! 

Always read your numbers...

Gym Session:

Finally back in the gym after a week off.  Felt good to have that rest, but it did not feel good to get back on that treadmill.

20 Minutes of running, followed by a 10 minute pace walk up a steep gradient to work the bum and back of the legs.

Cycling followed!  Another 20 minutes of usual.

September has hit, meaning the rain and cold weather is starting to as well.  This means a nice bowl of Tomato Soup was in order last night! 

Substitute crackers for bread.  Only a few!
