First off can I say how great it is to be back to blogging – back into routine and eating well again.
We all know that the Christmas Break causes us all to be a bit more “Relaxed”… or in my case “gluttonous” but it really is easy to get back into it, start today – not tomorrow, you will be amazed at 2 days in just how good you feel already.
This morning I started the day with a Pump class (I hadn’t been in two weeks, so my weights were a lot lower than normal and I struggled through, I lose my muscle really quickly – not wonder I have felt so blobby lately). I went home and had rolled oats with blueberries and greek yoghurt (The blueberries are great for your skin – so fingers crossed it can get rid of my choc zits!). Vitamins, a long black and a Berocca and I’m motivated (Im even doing work today – in amongst blogging of course).
So, I stumbled across this post via my Facebook today – I read Katie’s article and was amazed, I then looked at her photos at the bottom of the post, she is beautiful, so so beautiful. What she says about body image is so true, and I thought you might all like to read it:

Now…. here is the first vegetarian Recipe that I am so obsessed with (Im even making it again tonight)
VEGETARIAN BURRITOS
What you will need:
1 x pack of Mission Wholemeal wraps
1 x tin of Mexican Chilli Beans
1 x tin of Baked Beans – salt reduced
1 x cucumber
1 x tomato
Some Rocket Lettuce
Some Greek Yoghurt
How to make:
Heat a pan on a low heat, pour in the two tins of beans and stir (add spices if you like). When the beans are warm line a wrap with some rocket, pop the beans on, layer with the cucumber and tomatoes, add a small amount of greek yoghurt. (If you feel like being a touch naughty – or as I like to call it, just getting some calcium – add cheese too). Pepper to flavour, and VOILA.
It literally will take you 10 minutes tops, and they taste BRILLIANT.
Please let me know if you have any amendments you think will make this EVEN better…. try it, let me know what you think.
Coming Next……
Chickpea Curry, sounds lame – TASTES AMAZING.
Oh I am so having those for Tea tonight!!!
Let me know what you think of them!!
Didn’t end up having them, Fajitas instead, as Hubby was home and he doesn’t do Vegetarian!!
haha – men!
I made a chickpea curry (recipe coming today) and told my Mum to make it she said the same about Dad (hes strictly a meat and 3 veg type guy) and he scoffed it all up and told her it was amazing. People are sometimes scared of trying new things! haha.
My boyf was vego for 9 years (no longer) and I wouldnt of even dreamt of eating vegeterian meals before he cooked them for me, now I find them so much lighter and stress free – I detest cooking meat! yuk.
