Day 13: a much-needed day off

Day off work, not veganism! I was so tired I slept until 9 which was just awesome. Feel so rested. Managed to get lots done too: sorted out my flight back home, sorted out some stuff with my bike, flicked through my recipe books and then went grocery shopping. After a healthy lunch (taken from the books) I managed to hit the gym for the first time in 4 days! Really good, productive day and feel heaps better :)

Brekky - cornflakes and soy milk

This brand of soy milk is fortified with vitamin B12 which many vegans lack as it is mostly absorbed from animal products. A single serve of this provides 50% of your daily vit B12 needs!

Morning snacks - cashews (caved and bought roasted AND salted, everyone needs a treat)

Lunch - gluten free pasta with steamed green veggies and a scoop of vegan butter

Pasta with leek, snow peas, green beans, zucchini and asparagus. Yum! I've taken the simplest recipes from my new books, can't be arsed faffing around for more than 30 minutes in the kitchen, especially after work! Plus some of the recipes call for weirdo ingredients when all I really want is healthy, easy and relatively cost-effective. 

Dinner - salad! Really never thought I'd see the day but I fancied something sweet so went for mango, avocado, blueberries and salted cashews on a bed of spinach

Activity - cycle to bike shop and back twice (had a bit of a drama with saddles), cycle to gym for a really crap Pilates class (turned out to be just crunches and leg raises etc), a really good hour long run and two thirds of a cardio class - my leg started to get quite painful so I left before I overdid it.
