Feeling hot hot hot....

Oh.My.Days

It is warm here! It has been 25C inside just about all day, don't get me wrong I love the sunshine, but there is no air, no wind, no breeze. Nothing. Laying on the laminate floor is just about the coolest place to be at the mo. Phew.  However it does give me a change to wear my new size 10, oh yes, shorts :D.

By the way...we got the flat!!! :D Amazing!! Move in next month, I am so excited!

I moved onto level 2 of the 30 day shred last night, despite the heat. At one point she says 'I want you to feel like you are going to die!' and my god...I did. It is a fair step up from level one but I defiantly felt worked out! I have been loathed to exercise the last few days due to the heat and I can not condone going to a gym in this weather. Tomorrow morning though, I am going for a run, quite early so I don't get too warm. I really need to up this running, though now (I am sure I keep saying this) it will be easier to get back into a routine now I am back at uni. I think I might do a sort of lose plan this evening so I can get in some proper training before the Great North Run in September.


Today I tried making vegan muffins, I looked around for a good simple recipe on the web and found this one Basic vegan banana muffins though I must have done something wrong as I seemed to end up with too much flour and the mixture seemed really dry. I added some soy milk and water and popped them in the oven. To be honest I thought they would be really dry and taste awful (I also swapped sugar for sweetener to reduce the calories) but they weren't all that bad, a little dense but I can deal with that. Made some Vegan Chocolate Icing and overall they came to around 130kcal per muffin....so I had two. :)
Not looking bad!

With Icing -YUM











 Eurovision this evening, so cider is in the fridge! It seems to have gone down hill, there is less 'cheese'. I mean a slow, 'moving' isn't really going to get the votes now is it....

Still tracking calories though I have been going over (even above the 2000 mark eek) but my weight has maintained, well it has all been healthy stuff :) But that will be back on track again fairly soon.

OUCH!..Quick update

Day 2 of Jillian Micheal's 30 day shred and I hurt. A lot. My bum and thighs mainly. But hey it must be working!

Went for a run this morning too, only 1 mile due to forgetting to take inhaler out and got wheezy due to the cold. Frick. Then once I got in to get my inhaler, I couldn't be bothered to go back out.

Made nut roast for the first time today :) Very nice indeed!

Ordered 2 vegan cookbooks last night, so hopefully more vegan cooking soon.

Went to a Chinese supermarket today, I was in awe! Such amazing stuff. I got myself some Lipton ice tea instant power YUM and some Milo, a chocolate drink powder that is full of B vitamins! :) I used to have it when I was younger, but tesco stopped selling it a long time ago. Tofu is sooo cheap in there! When I need more I am defiantly going there for my next lot!
