I don't know what's occurring at the moment but I am constantly running back and forth to the loo to pee! I haven't altered my fluid intake any, I'm still drinking around 2L water a day and having about 4 cups green tea - no more than usual but I've spent the last few days shuttling back and forth to the loo every hour!
I had planned to get out for a run this evening but I completely forgot about the football - I love running but there is no way I am missing Chelsea's crunch match against Inter! I am heading out for a run after work tomorrow though as I finish at 1pm.
Food today has been delicious and I tried out a new fabulous recipe for dinner thanks to my lovely friend Jildo.
I started off with porridge, made with 50g jumbo oats, 300ml skimmed milk, 10g coconut and topped with Greek yoghurt & blackberries.
Mid morning was a skimmed latte.
Lunch was a delicious frittata, made with 2 eggs, 4 egg whites, chopped red onion, green pepper, mushrooms, spinach & grated cheddar.
Mid afternoon snack was the same as yesterday as I enjoyed it so much. Sliced granny smith sprinkled with cinnamon & maca and 2 babybel light.
Dinner was Jambalaya, courtesy of my friend Jildo. It was so easy peasy to make and got the thumbs up from both me & Mr JAG - thanks honey!
Jambalaya
4 chicken breasts
1 red onion
1 green pepper
1 red pepper
100g brown basmati rice
1 garlic clove
1 tsp thyme
1 tsp oregano
1 tsp cayenne pepper
15ml tomato puree
400g chopped tomatoes
1 stock cube (I used vegetable)
Water
Cook the chicken in the oven and shred.
Fry the onions and peppers in a little oil/butter until softened. Then add garlic, herbs & spice, salt & pepper to taste and saute for a few minutes.
Add the tomato puree, tomatoes, stock, rice & chicken and a good splash of water to help the rice to cook. Simmer for 20-30 minutes, adding more water if required until rice is cooked.
I added in more cayenne pepper than the recipe called for and also added in some paprika as we are both spice lovers. I think next time I make it I will cook the rice before hand as it took a lot longer to cook being brown rice.
Either way, it is a very simple yet delicious recipe!
After dinner, I sucked on a protein popsicle to cool down my mouth :-D
Ignore my manky chipped nail polish, I'm re-doing them as I watch the 2nd half!
