Lets have a Health Kick

making my new healthy eating more exciting by posting about it!

I haven’t been for a run since my last post but I did go out of the house and for a walk; which is better than nothing.

It definitely helped my head space and clear my thinking. Plus I went with my mum so we were able to catch up.

Breakfast smoothie this morning is something that I love and it’s so simple and vegan. Banana, strawberry and Tiny bit of Oatly. So yummy.

Here it is, us before our first run for the couch to 5k. I didn’t in a million years think I would be running let alone out side in public but I did and it felt good.

It wasn’t the best run. My mum has some extra health needs where she finds it harder to run all the time so we walked for the second half of it. But we got out the house and did some exercise and the Edinburgh views added to the run/walk.

We will be going again when we are back home; I’m keeping positive about this new running journey and supporting each other to get fit and healthy.

I made sweet potato chips! These are my new favourite food. So easy to make. Place a tray in the oven to heat the oil. Peel and chop the sweet potato and place in a bag with a few teaspoons of oil. Shake the bag and then place on the tray in the oven. Cook for between 20-30 mins. Or until how cooked you like them!

A new healthy lifestyle (hopefully)

Deciding to call this new diet a lifestyle so it does t seem so daunting and a hard task to start, especially at university.

My new lifestyle will consist of taking a low gi intake of food. (Ones that are slow releasing.

I’m starting this because of a health reason, well the same one as my first post! This Time they need the proof and think this “diet” will help me along the way So I thought posting about the new foods I come across and my journey will help me and hopefully inspire others!
