Sunday night quickie

Not a great week by any scale of the imagination. Had what I like to call Demonic Ovary Month ... felt HORRENDOUS for two days (cramps and nausea) but thankfully recovered in time for Wednesday training (just about anyway).

I did skip all other activities. It was time for a rest week.

I've started making up ground this weekend though, I think! 18km running in total, plus SUPER healthy eating. Well, with only a few minor blights. Have decided to really focus on diet for two solid weeks. Have broken the sugar hold from last weekend's binge and have stocked the fridge with veggies, fruit and lean protein options :)

Today was ALMOST perfect.

45min hill run, then had cup of cooked porridge (made with water) plus half an apple, two tablespoons of chopped walnuts and 1 teaspoon of sunflower seeds, plus a sprinkle of cinnamon and brown sugar. Tasteee.

Then I had a soy mocha before heading out running shoe shopping with two friends. Super fun (and successful).

Lunch was four Vita-Weets with Nut Butter and raspberry jam (on the run) and an apple.

Arvo snack was about 1/2 cup of pistachio nuts. Oh, and I had a beer :)

Dinner tonight was DELICIOUS from The Biggest Loser cookbook - beef strips stir fried with oyster sauce (plus chilli, garlic and ginger), with baby buk choy. Served with low-GI doongara rice. Made one recipe switch - cut the onion (blergh) and added the chilli. Super tasty.

I decided to spoil myself for dessert with a Fuji fruit (yum) and mango yoghurt.

So, let's see how the week pans out. No late nights this week and lots of running, gym and sleep plus good healthy food.

Have THE WORST first date story to share ... but will have to put that up tomorrow as the pain is still far too fresh to recount tonight.
