Hello everyone, StarHeart,
babyelephant thank you for the fajita recipe, I will try that tomorrow.
Coconut carrot lentil soup:
I estimate amounts but generally 2 carrots, 1 cup lentils, 1 onion, 2 cloves garlic, 1/2 courgette, 750ml to 1L water, veg or chicken stock cube(s).
Chop carrots, onions and courgette and fry in whichever oil takes your fancy (I use coconut oil as I'm trying to avoid PUFAs) add the lentils, stock and water.
let bubble for 30 min.
Blend and eat!
It's got a fair bit of fat but it's good fat and very filling so you can get through the day.
Speaking of navigating events I went to the Take That concert in Glasgow last night. We had an Aldi's cider on the train in (classy) and we stopped at a Wetherspoons and had burgers with chips and onion rings for dinner. Then, after getting the last train home I had a cup of tea and a large handful of chocolate digestive nibbles at 1am while watching an episode of Girls. I should have just gone to bed but I was still buzzing and thought this would be a good idea at the time.
However, I resisted glasses of wine throughout the night and I'm planning on a healthy, no alcohol, no eating out weekend. Onwards and upwards!
Oh, and I cycled to work Mon, Tues, Wed. 15 minutes each way, steep uphill at either end of the journey.
